Abingdon Flooring’s British-made carpets adorn homes across the country with the company producing 15m sqm a year. This has now been joined by Simply Smooth, a collection of LVT, laminate and cushion vinyl.
The easy, practical nature and wood effects of LVT make it high on the shopping list for open plan living spaces, bathrooms, kitchens and hallways. Abingdon Flooring has introduced Artisan and Eminence, catering for these rooms with a floor in six warm wood colours. Eminence is the plank design and Artisan the herringbone. Both come in dryback and click specifications with a 0.55mm wear layer with an authentic embossed finish for a natural look and feel. Both floors are backed by a 15-year residential warranty.
Laminate is often chosen for its hardwearing qualities that make it particularly suitable for homes with busy families needing a tough, wood-look floor. To cater for this market, Abingdon Flooring has two UK-made ranges: the 8mm Prestige and 12mm Exquisite.
Prestige is available in 12 wood effects, including natural and grey toned oaks as well as rich dark roast walnut. Featuring an AC4 abrasion rating, Prestige is suitable for use in living spaces and hallways, with a four-sided bevel that adds definition to its 1288mm x 195mm planks. The floor comes with a 15-year residential guarantee.
The AC5 rated Exquisite range is feature laden. With 48-hour water protection, it can be confidently used in bathrooms and kitchens and features Pro-Tec floor protection for improved scratch and stain resistance. In 10 authentic wood designs with a synchronised emboss in register texture, including neutral colours such as silver ice oak, Exquisite comes in the same plank size as Prestige. It has a 30-year residential guarantee.
The third element of Simply Smooth is two highly affordable cushion vinyl collections, which are ideal for use in bathrooms and kitchens needing an affordable and seamless flooring option. Urban comes in eight designs, including herringbone and a stone tile, while Endurance delivers an improved specification and comfort thanks to its 4mm thickness and premium cushion backing. Endurance comes in eight wood and tile designs, including a choice of three herringbone colours.
The collection is presented on a compact display stand for the Artisan and Eminence and dedicated stands for Prestige and Exquisite.
