Soufian Raouf:

I would like to know the flooring that is in your pictures, of the Victorian house you did for a customer, of the main hallway. I too have this same flooring in my main hallway but some of my panels are damaged I was not the original owner of the house when these were installed and I am having difficulty sourcing the same kardean flooring and I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me what that flooring is called and all the other relevant info about it because I need some of the same panels for my existing floor. I do not need a lot as the area that is damaged is no more than 2 hand widths and lengths. Many thanks

Susan Ford:

I'm looking into luxury vinyl flooring and wondered if you could tell me the main differences between Karndean, Amtico and Moduleo? Thanks.

The answer:

Chris Podmore:

Hi, do you offer borders on stair runners (rather than whipping)? Similar to this http://www.wholesalecarpets.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/9.jpg

The answer:

john guy:

we are trying to find "pretty" stair nosing so that we can have the karndean flooring on the landing without the nosing looking sharp, angular and industrial. We have 2 dogs and a slightly lazy cat that has laid her scent on the carpet on the landing that we "need to get rid of!", replacing the carpet is one option, but i suspect that this is more a case of throwing good money after bad, at least with a good quality flooring we can mop up accidents and use a steam mop to sterile it. Our greatest concern is that the nosing does not look too angular and industrial as this is going into our modern, but contemporary house

The answer:

Ana T:

Miss V:

Dear Karen I'm planning to refurbish my transporter van into a camper van - and the next step is the flooring. I would like to have my own design printed on suitable vinyl for the floor in the van, something durable of course. Is this something you guys can help me achieve at all ? It will be a small space compared to what you most likely cater for, hopefully this will not be an issue. Let me know where we go from here, assuming you can supply what I'm looking for. Many thanks, Miss V
