LUXE LOOKALIKE

If a real wood floor is out of your budget or not possible in your room, there are some great alternatives. One of those is luxury vinyl, which is designed to replicate timber and can be laid in planks or tiles, with clicklock or glue-down techniques. This Reclaimed Heart Pine, from £52.99 per m2 at Karndean, carries the authentic, rustic appearance of unfinished pine but at a lower price tag and with high levels of durability. It comes as a loose-lay longboard which helps to reduce noise levels, making it perfect for upper floors, loft conversions or living spaces in flats. It’s also possible to replace individual planks if the need arises.
