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 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.

Bamboo flooring:
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.

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.
