Homestyle Vinyl

Homestyle is one of our best selling cushioned vinyls. It comes on a roll in widths of 2m, 3m and 4m and in a huge 26 designs – a mix of wood plank, tile and mosaics with something to cover most tastes. The emphasis on this range leans towards modern designs, but it’s a good all-rounder.

It is 2.6mm thick with a 0.20mm wear-layer – decent but not spectacular. It should be fine in most domestic situations and comes with R10 slip-resistance, as so many vinyl do these days. We used to run a Tarkett vinyl called Gladiator for around the same sort of price, but it seems as though it has been replaced by this range now.

Tarkett are perhaps not so well-known with the public as say Rhinofloor, Nairn or Leolan, but their products can stand should to shoulder with their competitors. Homestyle is pretty much an entry-level product, but looks the part and they backit with a 10 year warranty. Fitters have had no problems working with this stuff, and we have now been fitting it for around 6 months or so.

My favourite (and the best-selling design is certainly the Fiora Alu Black shown here:

Metallic Mosaic Design

It also comes in blue/silver and peach/silver in this particular design, and very eye-catching they are too!

Aside from that, we have some run of the mill tiles plus this design, Sarondo:

Silver/Grey Small Square: Sarondo

Wood planks are also very well represented in this range with a lovely warm beech, some delicious wide plank oaks and a couple of ‘beaten up’ looking floors.

Tarkett recommend fully sticking any area over 16 square metres, but it is fine to loose lay it under that.

I’d reckon you will pay £8-£13 per square metre for it and it’s a good buy at that price.
