Could this get further off topic?
If you're in a wheelchair, coming in with wet wheels, a wood floor requires an awful lot of maintenance.
Hope you get over The Tony's and are back to your old self soon.

It does if you've got a great muddy dog with scratchy paws, too. Irrelevant, though. There's nothing more disappointing then entering a country house hotel or an old cottage and seeing a pretend wooden floor, or worse, canvas "slates". Or one of those hideous electric "wood burners". My God. Just do the thing properly or don't do it at all.

If you want to put lino down, don't buy some that tries to look like something else.

Honesty is [ialways[/i the best policy.

I'm off to get in the bath now.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

Lino....I love that picture, very stylish I love the retro look.

I like carpets. Hard surface floors are great in hot climates, but this is the UK.

Just got out of the bath.

Linoleum. Being linoleum. Not pretending to be a Swear filter-AS stone floor.

Christ, I've got all three of them on.
Lino's no good for this application, it would rip with a twenty stone wheelchair user toing and froing.
I also like carpet. You can still get Yorkshire carpet, mines called "Donkey" and was made in Liversedge.
With a stone floor, under floor heating is the way to go.

Anakin MarySkyWhiteWalkerHouse will go chicken oriental when he sees you've said You are starting to wind me up now-AS.

Off to Leicester tomorrow, gonna keep an eye out for Denzil, I'll give him a Chineese burn if I catch him.

Leicester you say, done alot of work in Leicester just recently - full of raving mad loony scientist types at the site I was on.

I'm not questioning the practicality or durability of this Amtico stuff, just it's propensity to replicate natural materials. That's the bit that's a bit nasty. Essentially it is merely a tougher, better form of lilo or tiles, so should admit it and stick to patterns that aren't imitations of natural floor types. With those sorts of designs it'll make a nice, honest floor cover.

You really are ace.

Dishonest flooring, brilliant!

I understand your point, but then, how about Chippendale furniture finished with veneers?
