Carrara Marble Sheet Vinyl Flooring

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Carrara sheet vinyl flooring?

Carrara sheet vinyl flooring is a luxurious range of floors designed to mimic the appearance of elegant marble. Perfect for those seeking a high-end aesthetic without the high cost of real marble, these floors come in various shades and designs. 

The collection includes foam-backed options with hexagon and chevron patterns, as well as a felt-backed option featuring a chic chequerboard design. The foam backing provides cushioning and warmth underfoot, while the felt backing is more forgiving of subfloor irregularities.

Where can I install Carrara vinyl flooring?

Carrara vinyl flooring is versatile and can be installed in various rooms in a home. It's ideal for bathrooms and kitchens due to its water resistance. The marble designs also bring an air of luxury to living rooms and dining areas. Their elegant aesthetic can also enhance bedrooms and hallways, adding a touch of sophistication.

If you want to create a classic look in the kitchen or add a little pazazz to the hallway, the Carrara Chess design is perfect. For a more opulent and dramatic makeover, consider the Carrara Nera Esagono. 

How do you care for Carrara sheet vinyl?

Caring for Carrara sheet vinyl flooring is simple. Regular sweeping or vacuuming is recommended to remove daily dirt and debris. If you need to give the floors a more thorough clean, you can give them a mop to remove any stubborn residue. To avoid damaging the floor, avoid using abrasive cleaners and keep water exposure to a minimum. Spills should be wiped up quickly to prevent staining or water damage.

How do I install Carrara vinyl flooring?

Carrara vinyl flooring can be installed using either the loose-lay or glue-down method. To glue them down, apply adhesive to the subfloor, and press the vinyl firmly down. The loose-lay method is simpler, letting you lay the vinyl sheet on the subfloor without adhesive. 

Whichever method you choose, it’s essential to ensure that the subfloor is clean, dry, level, and damage-free before installation. Following the manufacturer's instructions and hiring a professional, if needed, are advisable for best results.

How thick is Carrara sheet vinyl flooring?

Carrara sheet vinyl flooring comes in varying thicknesses ranging from 2.4mm to 3.8mm. This range in thickness provides different levels of cushioning and insulation.

Both options provide a comfortable, hard-wearing floor with a built-in wear layer. 

How long will Carrara vinyl flooring last?

Carrara vinyl flooring is designed to be durable and hard-wearing. It comes with a 10-year residential warranty, reassuring you about its longevity. The actual lifespan of the floor can be longer if properly maintained and cared for. Factors like how well it is installed, how much foot traffic it receives, and how effectively it is cleaned and maintained will also influence how long it lasts.
