Flooring design trends: what to look for in 2014

21 Jan 2014

This month we have looked into the flooring trends that are set to be big in 2014. Traditional products and sustainability are both big design trends this year and so the Barbour Product Search team have looked into the best ways for these formally competing tastes to work together.

Underfloor Heating:
Underfloor Heating 2014 Underfloor heating is an ideal way to bring warmth underfoot with traditionally chilly flooring options such as tile or hardwood flooring. Underfloor heating systems are thought to be a more efficient and consistent way of heating a room and a large system can do away with the need for radiators altogether offering increased interior design freedom.

For more information on how underfloor heating works see Ambiente’s Barbour Product Search profile.

Bamboo flooring:
Bamboo Flooring Design 2014 Bamboo flooring has become a popular alternative to traditional hardwood flooring. Boasting many design and eco credentials this trend is set to continue in 2014. It is considered to be an environmentally and green friendly flooring option and is a good replacement material for hardwood flooring due to it's similar physical properties.

The Solid Wood Flooring Company supply bamboo flooring at economical prices and deliver Nationwide including Europe and Ireland

Vinyl Flooring:
Vinyl flooring is great alternative to traditional hardwood or tiled floors. Luxury vinyl tiles can often not be distinguished from their traditional natural counterparts making this a more cost-effective design option. Vinyl scores highly in the environmental checks as well. It is hardwearing, lasting for years with relatively little maintenance, compared to that required for other materials. It has good end of life recyclability with 100% recyclable products available from manufacturers such as Polyflor.

The Watchmaker Prescott Design Vinyl Floor The hardwearing qualities of vinyl added to the product’s wide range of design freedom make it an ideal option for high-traffic commercial applications. The unique cutting attributes of Amtico’s custom design service allowed for the creation of this unique floor for The Watchmaker pub in Prescott.
