We’d wager that on nearly every dream home Pinterest board you’ll find beautiful wood floors lining kitchens, living rooms and sometimes even bathrooms. However, while real wood floors might be naturally beautiful, they come with the risk of potential stains and scratches from a busy household, not to mention the cost to fit and to maintain. However, we’ve found the secret to getting the look that is both family proof and downright gorgeous.
Made in Belgium, Quick-Step’s Alpha vinyl range offers unrivalled beauty for a home full of life and if you take our quiz below you could be in with the chance to win your dream flooring. Using new state of the art technology their range of vinyl floor tiles and planks are so well designed we wouldn’t blame you for preferring them to the real wood alternatives.
Alpha Vinyl Bloom in Brushed Oak Beige
Get a natural look without the hassle
The Bloom range of wood-effect vinyl flooring comes in a choice of authentic finishes and textures. You’d never know it wasn’t the real thing. The collection has been designed to bring the feeling of the outside in, encouraging the look and texture of nature into your home through stunning floors.
The Sundown pine vinyl, priced at £47.99 per square metre, is ideal for complimenting a rustic interior scheme, while the washed out Botanic beige is the perfect partner to the trending farmhouse kitchen look.
Alpha Vinyl Bloom in Brushed Oak Honey
Easy to install
Whether you are opting for regular planks or an elegant herringbone look, the Alpha Vinyl range is easy to install. Take for example the Ciro range, it has performed a miracle in making tricky herringbone flooring easy to install. The range uses just one type of plank that fits together using the Unizip click system, rather than two different formats like other herringbone floors.
Alpha Vinyl Ciro in Botanic Caramel Oak
Waterproof and durable
What really makes Alpha Vinyl flooring stand out is its durability. The range is 100 per cent watertight, due to an innovative click system. Worried about spills and splashes staining or lifting your floor? Never worry again as beautiful Bloom and Ciro vinyl floors all have a water-repellent surface.
These feature-packed floors also come with an attached high-performance underlay. Not only does this contribute to the ease of installation, but it also makes for a wonderfully silent floor, so you can wave goodbye to noisy kids' feet or stomping teenagers.
