Sheet vinyl flooring in Wimbledon, South West London can deliver the look of real wood herringbone parquet without the price tag to match. In this case study, we show how Tom and Sarah fitted Herringbone Oak Effect sheet vinyl in their dining room, getting the sophisticated pattern they wanted at a fraction of the cost of real parquet.
The Problem
Tom and Sarah from Wimbledon, South West London were redecorating their dining room. The old carpet was heavily stained from years of food spills, and they wanted a hard floor. They loved the look of real wood herringbone parquet, but the cost of the materials and a specialist fitter was completely out of their price range.
The Solution
For Tom and Sarah’s dining room in Wimbledon, the answer was a sheet vinyl alternative that still gave them the classic herringbone style. They chose the Herringbone Oak Effect sheet vinyl, which gave the exact pattern and colour of a real wood floor at a fraction of the cost, with the added benefit of being totally wipeable after family dinners.
The Installation
Because sheet vinyl comes on a roll, the installation at Tom and Sarah’s Wimbledon home was incredibly fast. The fitter simply unrolled it, cut it to the exact shape of the room, and secured it in place. The entire dining room was finished in just a couple of hours.
The Result
The dining room now looks highly sophisticated, and guests often mistake the floor for real wood until they step on it. Tom and Sarah achieved the dream flooring style for their Wimbledon home while saving hundreds of pounds.
