Hi, We're planning to put some sort of vinyl down in our kitchen but I
don't have any idea what to look for when choosing a decent quality,
reasonably priced vinyl.
The floor space is 10 sq metres (4 * 2.5) and I am laying it on 12mm
ply. I probably don't want to spend more than £200 - £250 so I'm
looking at around £20 psm.
This rules out Amtico and Karndean which I've heard are good but very
pricey. We plan to stay in the house for at least a couple of years but
may stay longer so want something fairly durable.

I went for a 4mm vinyl from Allied Carpets at £19.99 /m2, which should
hopefully be very durable! Ask me again in 20 years ;o)

Vinyl tiles? On a good surface these can look fine and easily to replace
individual ones through damage etc. Easy to fit, too.

We went for Rhinofloor in the last kitchen and it is good after 10 years
of heavy traffic. I expect that anything in that price bracket is much
the same
