Any suggestions for a hard-wearing surface which is not too cold? Not
keen on laminate or carpet, but wondering if there are good vinyl
floors which might do the trick....

any advice much appreciated

I was in a carpet shop last week and noticed some wood effect sheet vinyl in
the £20 - £25 per square meter range. It looked indestructible to me, but
then it should be for the price.
