WHAT’S NEW?
IMPROVING THE STANDARD OF FLOORING IN SOCIAL HOMES
The positive impacts of providing social tenants with good quality flooring throughout their accommodation are well- documented. Along with other furnishings, flooring can help to create a ‘sense of home’, improving wellbeing, boosting integration and reducing loneliness, lessening financial strain and giving a
sense of pride. Social housing providers also benefit, reductions in void rent loss, reduced void turnover and costs, reduced refusal rates and fewer complaints have all been cited as benefits of providing floorcoverings.
Beauflor’s cushion vinyl flooring ranges provide landlords with an affordable and durable floorcovering that’s still quiet and comfortable underfoot. Often specified
in bathrooms and kitchens, they are also suitable for use in all areas of the home. With this in mind, Beauflor offers a wide range of designs across its social housing floors, allowing providers to vary floor design between rooms, or offer tenants a choice of styles.
Chris Roberts, sales director, said: “Our cushion vinyl floors are easy to install whatever the design. They are a great way for landlords to engage tenants positively and involve them in a decision making process without having to worry about the cost, installation or ongoing maintenance of one floor over another.”
Natural or grey wood planks, light stone or dark slate, concrete, terrazzo or ceramic tiles, the designs capture popular domestic styles and many feature a textured surface for a more authentic look. What’s more, every design offers an excellent level of comfort due to backings that absorb footfall. The floors also have excellent thermal and acoustic properties too, for a surface that’s warm and quiet in use.
A well-designed floor elevates a basic living space into a true home, helping residents to feel comfortable, valued and proud of their home. Even on tight budgets, a more homely design and smarter appearance for the floor can give the impression of a higher-quality living environment. By working with Beauflor on a flooring specification throughout the home, landlords can support tenants and improve their standard of living.
