intense cleaning, is a good idea. Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) can give the same effect as a stone tile or wood floor, without the associated disadvantages. If a spill does occur on wood floor, it is incredibly important to clean it up immediately to prevent discolouring, warping and permanent damage. With stone tiles, grout is very porous and stains easily. When this occurs, specialist cleaning, or a regrouting will be required. This is no such challenge with LVT, so it provides all the aesthetic benefits whilst mitigating all of the risks.
The increased likelihood of spills also brings a risk of slips, particularly on easy to clean floorcoverings. Again, the CFS Eternity Classic LVT range is graded at slip-resistance ratings of DIN 51130 and R 10, making it ideal for a domestic kitchen setting. The range comes with a 0.3mm wear layer and a PVC coating, meaning it is safe to clean as often as required without risk of damage.
LVT also does not harbour bacteria or dust mites, an important consideration when installing a floorcovering in a food preparation environment. Additionally, if excessive wear and tear does cause some of the flooring to become damaged, it is easier to replace a single damaged tile, as opposed to a roll of vinyl, wooden floor or ceramic tiles. Moreover, CFS Eternity Classic LVT comes with a 20-year warranty, providing peace of mind to the homeowner.
After addressing the practicality of the floor choice, the next consideration is aesthetic. CFS Eternity Classic LVT is available in 19 finishes, including 15 wood decors and four stone effects. The high-quality tiles are perfect for domestic projects, offering a vast range of materials and styles to suit any budget and project.
With the option to interchange different tile styles within the same floor design, the trend-led CFS Eternity Classic LVT allows total design freedom for each project. From ‘Chalkstone’ to ‘Graphite’, ‘Ivory Washed Oak’ to ‘Bronzed Mocha’, the design configurations available are limitless. To

A homeowner in Ipswich required a flooring installation throughout the ground floor of their property. The floorcovering installed needed to be durable and easy to clean, particularly with a young family, so luxury vinyl tiles were recommended.
The price, quality and modern design of CFS products led them to choosing CFS Eternity Classic LVT in Moonstone in the kitchen of their property.
Installed by R W Hall Flooring, the homeowner wanted to use the CFS feature strips to create a brick style tiling as opposed to using the typical square tiles. This created a modern aesthetic, unique to the property and meeting the homeowners ideal aesthetic.
CFS products are all available from Carpet & Flooring, along with any required accessories and installation equipment, meaning a simple and effective installation, every time.
complement the range, six different colour feature strips are also available and the four stone effect finishes are micro- bevelled for a true-to-life finish.
The increase in open-plan living is also something to consider when helping homeowners select a floorcovering for their kitchen. If their kitchen leads directly into a dining room, and they would like one continuous floorcovering, sterile tiles might look out of place and so a parquet flooring or wood- effect LVT would be the best match.
By working with customers and understanding their wants and needs, you’ll be able to ensure the best floorcovering gets specified for their kitchen renovation projects. All CFS products are available from Carpet & Flooring.
