Gustavian Sheet Vinyl Flooring

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is Gustavian sheet vinyl flooring?

Gustavian sheet vinyl flooring is influenced by Neoclassical design, infused with French and Swedish elements. These floors provide a unique charm that complements a 'shabby chic' aesthetic. Each pattern features a beautifully faded effect akin to an aged, antique piece of art. These floors come in various styles, such as bright and bold and patterned. The antique cushioned vinyl floor is an example of a bright and bold design, combining subtle grey tones with bright red pops of colour. 

Beyond their stunning aesthetics, they are known for their exceptional functionality and durability. The floors are also cushioned for added comfort underfoot and carry an R10 anti-slip rating, making them safe, even in moisture-prone areas.

What shades do Gustavian vinyl sheet floors come in?

Gustavian vinyl sheet floors come in a selection of light to medium shades. The lighter shades provide a serene and spacious feel to your rooms, making them ideal for smaller spaces or areas with limited natural light. They reflect the light beautifully, adding a touch of minimalistic elegance to the space. 

Medium shades, on the other hand, strike a perfect balance between boldness and subtlety. They offer a sense of warmth and cosiness, making the room comfortable and inviting. These shades, combined with the distinct styles available, allow for a diverse range of design possibilities to suit any interior design.

How thick is Gustavian vinyl flooring?

Gustavian sheet vinyl flooring is designed with a thickness of 2.4mm, with an option for a more substantial 4mm thickness also available. This depth not only ensures impressive durability and longevity, but it also contributes to the floor's cushioned feel. The thicker 4mm option offers an even more luxurious underfoot feel, enhancing the comfort of the room. It also helps to reduce more sound, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. 

Where can I install Gustavian vinyl sheet floors?

Gustavian vinyl sheet floors can be installed in virtually any room due to their water-resistant and slip-resistant properties. However, their unique designs and functional benefits make them particularly well-suited for bathrooms, conservatories, kitchens, and reception rooms. In bathrooms and kitchens, the floors' water and slip resistance offer enhanced safety, while in reception rooms and conservatories, the aesthetic appeal of a design like the Gustavian 08 cushioned vinyl adds a touch of charm and elegance.

How are Gustavian vinyl floors installed?

Gustavian vinyl floors can be installed using the glue down or looselay methods. The glue down method involves applying adhesive to the subfloor and laying the vinyl sheet on top, ensuring a secure and long-lasting fit. The looselay method does not require any adhesive, making it a quicker and cleaner installation process. Both methods provide a seamless finish, but looselay floors are easier to repair or replace. You will need to rip up the entire floor if you want to replace a glue-down vinyl floor.

How long will Gustavian vinyl floors last?

With a robust 15-year residential warranty, you can expect to receive excellent value for money when you purchase a Gustavian vinyl floor. This durability is a testament to the floors' premium construction, and the quality materials used in their design. Of course, the lifespan of your floor also depends on factors like the level of foot traffic it receives, how well you clean it, and whether it was installed correctly. With proper care and installation, Gustavian vinyl floors can maintain their charm and functionality for many years.
