From Minton to Luxury Vinyl Flooring in Burton on Trent
All Floor One recently fitted new flooring in the hallway of a house in Burton on Trent. Sadly, the stunning original Minton floor was beyond restoring, so new flooring was needed. Our clients understandably wanted something that was in keeping with the age and style of the property and wanted to replicate the look of the original floor. To do this, they opted for luxury vinyl flooring in Burton on Trent.
In comparison to the original Minton tiles that date back to the mid-1800’s, luxury vinyl flooring is a relative youngster, having been introduced in the 1970s, so you could be forgiven for thinking that this type of flooring could look too modern and contemporary in an older house, but you would be mistaken. That’s the great thing about luxury vinyl flooring in Burton on Trent, the patterns are often inspired by the original tiled floors of grand Victorian and Regency villas and townhouses and then reproduced onto luxury vinyl tiles, so you can have a modern product producing a traditional look.
Our clients decided to have Karndean luxury vinyl flooring in their hallway and chose Montpellier from the Heritage Collection. A classic combination of octagonal tiles and square insets in shades of dove grey and lace. We also included a diamond border, which nicely framed the pattern. This flooring produces the look of traditional old flooring but with the benefits of luxury vinyl flooring in Burton on Trent. As any professional luxury vinyl tile fitter in Burton on Trent will tell you, luxury vinyl flooring is perfect in a hallway because it is hardwearing, waterproof, and durable.
To preserve the floor underneath, we laid the luxury vinyl flooring on a Jumpax over-boarding system, which we fitted first. This also ensures a smooth, level surface. Once this was in place, we could lay the vinyl flooring. You can see what the finished result looks like in the photographs included.
