Some people choose a light oak floor, while others prefer an XL Herringbone Vinyl floor. There is an abundance of choices when it comes to oak flooring, from dark smoke to untreated finishes. However, if you’re looking for something different and want to add a robust, tough style to your home decor, consider a concrete-look vinyl floor! This article will introduce you to different types of vinyl concrete-look floors and provide tips on how to combine this sturdy floor with your interior design.
What is a concrete-look tile floor?
A concrete-look tile floor has a solid colour and a stone-like appearance, with little contrast in terms of texture. It should look as realistic as possible, like an actual concrete floor. However, a real concrete floor in your home is not the most ideal choice. It can feel cold and, without a coating, stains are very difficult to remove from the surface. If you want the style of a robust and tough concrete floor, but with added benefits, concrete-look vinyl tile flooring is the perfect solution. Vinyl tiles have a super realistic concrete look that is indistinguishable from a concrete or cast floor. Plus, they do not feel cold to the feet and actually help keep them warm!
Vinyl floors that look like concrete
Curious about the available options for vinyl concrete-look tiles? There is a wide selection to choose from in concrete-look vinyl flooring. You can select between Rigid Click Vinyl Tiles and Dryback Tile Vinyl floors. Although both types of flooring are made of vinyl, they differ in look and feel. One major difference between click vinyl tiles and dryback vinyl is the installation method required for each.
You can install click vinyl flooring yourself due to the handy click connection on the vinyl floorboards. However, this is not possible with dryback vinyl floors, which are glued to the substrate and consist of flexible, thin vinyl strips. If you want to learn more about the differences between click-tile vinyl and dryback tile vinyl floors, or if you are looking for a floor that looks like a cast floor but has the advantages of tile vinyl, such as a black slate tile floor or a marble floor, you can find it all in the wide range of robust tile floors.

Advantages of vinyl concrete-look tiles
In addition to looking great in your interior, choosing Vinyl concrete-look flooring offers a number of advantages. Vinyl concrete-look tiles are indistinguishable from real stone and offer several benefits compared to an actual concrete floor. A tangible stone design and stone mineral intermediate layer ensure a more realistic result with a click vinyl tile floor. Whether you choose a concrete-look Rigid Click Vinyl Tile or a Dryback Tile Vinyl floor, both are 100% water-resistant. This makes the floors easy to clean and suitable for any room in your home, including the living room, bathroom, or kitchen. Dryback vinyl tiles can even be laid without skirting. Enjoy the benefits of this versatile flooring option in every room of your home!
Rigid Click Vinyl vs Dryback Vinyl
The Tile Rigid Click Vinyl features an advanced Fastclick joint. This connection makes it easy to join the different planks together and you can even lay these plastic floors on your own! We recommend leaving the laying of a dryback vinyl floor to the professionals. Levelling the surface using levelling compounds and then gluing down an adhesive vinyl floor is a precise job. We recommend using an installation service. This can be ordered as an extra option from your nearest dealer!
One advantage of vinyl floors with a concrete look, but without seams and with subtle micro bevelling, is their suitability for use with underfloor heating. These floors have an extremely low thermal resistance and are therefore very efficient heat conductors. This means that heat can be felt more easily through the floor. Even without underfloor heating, a vinyl floor feels warm, providing relief for those with cold feet and contributing to a pleasant indoor climate.
How to match a concrete-look vinyl floor with your interior?
When choosing a concrete-look vinyl floor in anthracite or concrete it is important to consider the rest of your interior. How can you combine this tough concrete-look floor with your existing decor, and which wall colour would complement it best? Floors with a robust look, such as concrete or a cast floor, are currently popular and are often seen as the industrial basis of an interior. With its appearance, it certainly lives up to that reputation! Would you like to enjoy the benefits of a vinyl floor while also having the look of a cast or concrete floor? Then vinyl tiles are the perfect solution. This way, you can enjoy the advantages of vinyl flooring, while still achieving the look of a cast or concrete floor.
An industrial floor is perfect for pairing with an industrial interior. The combination of steel and black creates a powerful aesthetic. However, don’t underestimate the impact of a minimalist interior style with a concrete-look vinyl tile. The peace and simplicity of the style allow the vinyl tiles to radiate power and give your interior a tough character. You can easily pair a concrete-look floor with the rest of your interior by carefully selecting wall colours, accessories, and furniture.
