A herringbone click vinyl floor is a beautiful and durable choice for any interior. With its timeless look and durability, it is no wonder that this flooring has become a popular choice. However, there are some important things to consider when choosing a herringbone click vinyl floor. Below, we discuss what to look out for when choosing a herringbone click vinyl floor.
Quality of the floor
The quality of the material is an important factor when choosing a herringbone click vinyl floor. The higher the quality of the vinyl material, the more resistant the floor is to wear and scratches. With Floer’s herringbone rigid click vinyl floors you’re assured of an extremely durable flooring. These floors contain a rigid mineral core intermediate layer. This means that the rigid intermediate layer consists of a mix of vinyl and stone minerals. In addition, the floors have a very strong 0.55 mm wear layer and fall into a usage class of 23/ 32. This means that the floors are suitable for both intensive domestic and intensive commercial use.
The surface of the room
Besides the quality of the floor itself, the surface of the room must also be of good quality for the installation of the herringbone click vinyl floor on. But what is a good surface? Even if there is a sub-floor under the herringbone floor, the surface must be level. There should be a maximum difference in height of 2 millimeters per linear meter. This is important because the floor boards are relatively heavy due to the rigid mineral core intermediate layer. This is because the floating herringbone floor contains many joints; if the floor is not stable, the joints of the herringbone floor can break. If the surface does not meet these requirements, you should start by leveling the surface.
underfloor heating installed?
No problem! Herringbone click vinyl floors are ideal for use with underfloor heating. The floors have a thermal resistance of 0.039 m2K/W, which means you’ll still get a great return from your underfloor heating. So it’s double the fun with Floer, a rock solid floor and warm feet 😉!
Laying the herringbone floor
Besides the surface, you also need to consider a suitable underlay. The underlay must be able to withstand the pressure of the floor. Floer has developed a special underlay that can withstand the pressure resistance of the Floer rigid herringbone click vinyl floors. This resistance is indicated in kPa values, so always check that the subfloor has the required kPa value. Once you have the right subfloor, it’s time to lay the floor. Thanks to the simple click connection, installing a herringbone click vinyl floor is very easy, unlike glued vinyl floors. We’ve also created a blog and video for you ‘How to install a herringbone rigid click vinyl floor’ to make it even easier.
Maintaining the floor
A herringbone click vinyl floor is easy to maintain and clean. However, it is important to use felt pads under the furniture. This will reduce the risk of scratching your floor. When cleaning the floor, choose the right cleaning products; some cleaning products damage or discolor the floor. Choose a floor that is easy to clean and only use cleaning products that are safe for the floor, such as Floer Vinyl Cleaner.
So, when choosing a herringbone click vinyl floor, there are several factors to consider. Quality, surface, subfloor, installation, maintenance and cleaning. But the color of the floor is, of course, not entirely unimportant. Curious about the colors of herringbone click vinyl? Then take a look at our collection.
