Beauflor has updated its Blacktex cushion vinyl flooring range with new designs that reflect the latest in interior style.
Blacktex cushion vinyl from Beauflor brings private and social housing a fast and easy flooring option and with brand-new designs for 2025, one that now reflects the latest in home interior style. The popular collection comes in a range of 56 wood and stone looks, including 24 new for this year.
Introduced designs include the classic style of Oakland and Gambel Oak wood planks, the limestone of Pamplona and the elegant, polished concrete of Beton Cire. Whatever the decor, Blacktex brings a floor with numerous advantages, refreshing homes with a welcoming look and a comfortable and practical surface.
With a textile backing that means it can be installed over old floorcoverings without glue (up to 35m²), Blacktex can be used to quickly refurbish rooms. Not just kitchens and bathrooms, but living areas, bedrooms and hallways can all benefit from
the floor’s easy fitting. With multiple width options (2m, 3m and 4m), Blacktex also reduces installation waste.
The floor’s Premium Coating reduces the chances of permanent stains and marks and makes maintenance easier for owners and tenants, preserving the floor’s look and enhancing its durability. Along with its water-resistant construction, the floor’s R10 slip- restraint and a Class 32 general commercial wear rating make for a hardwearing floor finish that withstands family use and which can even avoid flooring replacement between tenancies.
Chris Roberts, regional sales director, said: “Fast to install, comfortable and durable, Blacktex is a great flooring choice in both private and social housing. It ensures owners and tenants have a natural looking floor with a homely feel, but without any of the maintenance drawbacks, noise or discomfort of real wood, stone or concrete flooring. For landlords and associations, its fast and easy installation, ability to withstand heavy use and affordability mean it delivers an excellent long-term proposition.”
