There is a vast amount of contract flooring on the market today and it is always best
to look at all the viable options to achieve the best result for your flooring.
Here at Ideal Floors 4 U we supply various ranges of carpets for heavy-duty use in a variety of colours. Some contract carpets are made as tiles, others are broadloom carpets
in various widths. Carpet tiles tend to be more popular for larger areas as they can cut down on the amount of wastage.
Other heavy duty flooring available in both vinyl and carpet tiles is produced by manufacturers such as Amtico, Camaro, Karndean, Expona and Colonia and come in various effects such as wood, stone, slate and marble; grout and borders can then be added to give a unique look. This type of flooring comes in a variety of tile sizes and has a very hard surface for heavy contract wearability in areas with high usage.
An example of a job taken on by us was for a nightclub in High Wycombe where ultra violet yarn was woven into the carpet to give a glowing effect at night (see image). For this type of flooring we used a double-stick down method of fitting to fix the carpet securely to the floor, allowing minimal movement.
All flooring can be professionally fitted if required and we will be pleased to quote you for fitting and any accessories you may require (underlay, gripper etc) when you purchase your flooring. And if you have purchased your flooring elsewhere, we do also offer a 'fitting-only' service. Contact us for details. We offer a free estimating and planning service and can bring samples to your workplace at your convenience. If you wish to contact us to arrange an estimate or if you have a particular query then please email us. Also if you have seen a product at another retailer and would like a price from us, then please contact us with the details and we will be pleased to give you a competitive quote. Due to the nature of our business we will endeavour to reply to all emails within 24 hours. Please remember to give full contact details so that we can reply to you as quickly as possible.

An alternative to carpet is contract vinyl. This is compulsory flooring by law in some public places because of its non-slip properties. Manufacturers of these vinyls include Marley, Armstrong, Forbo Nairn and Polyfloor etc.
Some areas suited to contract vinyl such as bathrooms and toilets require a cove and capping method of fitting (see illustration), where the
vinyl is fitted several inches up the wall and all joins are welded to ensure they are totally waterproof.
Another alternative, popular for pubs and clubs particularly, is heavy duty 100% wool carpets by Axminster. Both traditional and modern designs are available to match existing decor.
