How to choose your hard flooring

At Carpetright, we know that choosing new flooring for a room in your home can be daunting, especially if you’ve not had much experience in buying hard flooring before. Style, suitability and durability are all things you should think about before making your decision.

Believe it or not, there’s a lot of choice when it comes to hard flooring; from vinyl to laminate, to wood floors and luxury vinyl, we know it may all seem a little daunting! But not to worry, as we’re here to help you take you through the whole process.

If you’re after a laminate, a vinyl, a wood floor or a luxury vinyl floor, we’re here to help! Whether you buy online or in store, our products will be clearly marked up for suitability (for example, not all laminates are compatible with a bathroom or kitchen), as well as suggesting the best underlay for your dream floor.

And once you’ve ordered your new hard flooring, we’ve got a range of care guides to help you keep them looking picture-perfect!
