The thickness of our vinyls ranges from 2mm to 4.3mm, so it's thicker than laminate or LVT but much thinner than carpet. However, the thickness of the wear layer is more important than the total thickness. A thicker vinyl will be more cushioned underfoot as there's more air inside but if it's in a high traffic area, it will compress over time, so a thinner vinyl with a thicker wear layer would be the more hardwearing option.
Thankfully, our vinyl products have a wear layer that protects the flooring from scratches. If you have a particularly rambunctious dog (think large and easily excited) then you’ll want to get the thickest wear layer option.
While vinyl products do have a wear layer, no vinyl product is 100% scratch proof and over time, scratches may occur. If you’re confused about the right choice for your home, please get in touch.
Yes, we do! Fitting vinyl or any other type of flooring purchased from Tapi is an additional service that we can arrange if you need us to. Our vinyl flooring fitting service costs £5.70 per m2 - just let us know if you want fitting included in your quote. We can also arrange to uplift and remove your old flooring at the same time for an additional fee. Ordering flooring from Tapi gives you complete flexibility, so if you decide you just want to order vinyl from us and use your own fitter or install it yourself, that's absolutely fine!
Vinyl flooring is a water-resistant, flexible floor covering made from different layers of synthetic materials, backed with either felt or foam. Available in a range of thicknesses and designs, it offers comfort underfoot as well as a bit of personality for your floor! Using the latest printing technology and embossing techniques, vinyl can provide the authentic look and feel of a tiled or wooden floor at a fraction of the price and with far less maintenance. If you're looking for art deco tiles, black and white Victorian tiles, colourful Moroccan mosaic tiles, or a much simpler stone or wooden floor effect, vinyl is the more versatile and affordable option.
Aside from the cost factor, there are many other benefits to choosing vinyl flooring: it's quick to install, hard wearing, water-resistant, and easy to clean. Vinyl flooring features a wear and tear layer - a clear protective coating that goes on top of the design, which is stain-resistant, water-resistant, and slip-resistant, making it the perfect flooring choice for kitchens and bathrooms.

Vinyl flooring can be fitted in two ways: loose lay or fully stuck. The type of vinyl and the type and size of the room will dictate which fitting method you use. Foam-backed vinyl can be loose laid up to 12sqm and felt-backed vinyl over 12sqm, depending on the quality. The best thing about fitting vinyl flooring is that it doesn't need underlay; instead, you spray adhesive around the edges of the vinyl (loose lay) or use spread adhesive on the subfloor itself (fully stuck) to fix it into place. One can of spray adhesive covers approximately 10sqm.
Prior to fitting, it's best to leave your roll of vinyl indoors where it can adapt to the room temperature before being unrolled. We can arrange fitting if you need us to - just request this service when you place your order.
We stock a huge range of vinyl designs, from simple grey and white vinyl, to incredibly detailed patterns like marble, art deco, and vintage ceramic tiles. Our vinyl flooring prices start from £18.99m², while our top of the range, luxury embossed vinyl with a thick felt backing for extra comfort is £27.99m². So, based on a 3x3m room and a £18.99 vinyl plus £60.75 for fitting, the total cost of a new vinyl floor would be less than £235, which also includes spray adhesive for a perimeter fix and a door bar.
Our flooring experts will be able to talk you through all the costs involved in buying and installing vinyl flooring when you visit us in store or book a home visit, but there's also a handy vinyl flooring cost calculator on all of our vinyl product pages to give you an estimate of how much your floor will cost (excluding fitting).
Vinyl is a water-resistant, flexible floor covering made from durable materials and usually backed with foam or felt – this is great because it means you usually don’t need to buy additional underlay to go underneath it! It can come in a variety of different designs, from tile-effect to wood-effect, and with plenty of patterns too, which means it can give you the effect of solid wood or tiles at a fraction of the cost. There’s plenty more information on vinyl in our ‘what is vinyl’ flooring guide.
Fitting your own vinyl flooring is a time-consuming process with multiple steps, all of which must be completed to a pristine level to achieve the best look for your vinyl. This includes clearing, cleaning and levelling your subfloor, prepping your vinyl rolls, measuring your room and cutting your vinyl sheets to fit, as well as accommodating for any difficult areas. You can find more information in our step-by-step guide to fitting sheet vinyl flooring, or you can call on our professional fitting service to help you out.
