If you want to dive even deeper on this fantastic floor, we have everything you need to know about rigid core vinyl. In this guide we'll figure out what you need from your new floor and why rigid core vinyl could be the option you've been searching for.
I need a floor that's quick and easy to install
With its DIY-friendly click system, rigid core vinyl is a great choice for anybody looking for an Easy DIY floor they can fit themselves. This easy-to-install click system and clean joins require no prior DIY experience, adhesives, nor an extensive toolkit meaning installation could not be simpler. And the benefits do not stop there.
Rigid core vinyl, as with other vinyl floors, laminate, and real wood, needs to be acclimatised before installation to avoid warping and deforming once fitted. That process only takes up to 12 hours with rigid core vinyl, whereas other floors can need up to seven days, meaning you can start fitting it even sooner. Be sure to learn how to acclimatise your flooring properly before you try to fit it.

There's lots to love about the look of more common floors, such as carpets and the timeless herringbone pattern of real wood and wood-effect floors. Having a different look to your floor is really special though and with rigid core vinyl's unique printed décor layers you not only get the best of wood-effect flooring, you can enjoy wonderfully modern stone-effect and even elegant marble-effect floors.
