SELECT FROM GEMCORE VINYL PLANK AND LAMINATE PLANK OPTIONS

There are two main options available to you when you choose a wood-look floor for your home, and the option you choose will determine how your space will feel and perform. When you choose vinyl plank, you can be confident that you’re installing a durable flooring solution in your home, and you aren’t going to be worrying everytime there’s a spill or stain on the floor as you’ll know it’s easy to wipe up. 

This kind of vinyl plank is perfect for households with young kids, pets or is generally busy, as the superior wear layers on vinyl plank can withstand almost anything including scratches and messy spills. It’s ideal for rooms where high traffic is part of normal life, including kitchens, hallways, entranceways, and utility rooms. The smooth surface has the look and texture of wood with none of the upkeep of engineered hardwood flooring, benefitting your space and your wallet too. 

What’s more, in the GemCore range you have a huge selection of styles to choose from such as characterful hickory with defined grain patterns and rustic oak with enhanced UV coating. Perfect if you need to add style across a large area.

On the other hand, if you want something a little sturdier with more layers and a better wood look and definition, then consider laminate wood planks from Gemcore. With 20 to choose from you are bound to find what you’re looking for. They offer a different design to the vinyl and are styled around real wood, and are the middle option between hardwood and vinyl in both quality and budget. 

Many people choose laminate planks because they are a straightforward way to get the look you want without compromise, and offer easier maintenance. If you love the grain definition of real timber as well as the tonal variations that add depth and dimension to the flooring instead of them being flat, then laminate plank is the way to go. In many of the design choices you will benefit from the texture of the printed grain, which not only looks amazing but you can really feel the difference underfoot too. Laminate planks are more solid and durable, and come with an extensive warranty. 

GEMCORE FINISH OPTIONS: UV COATINGS AND EMBOSSED TEXTURE

One of the main areas of flooring that customers focus on is the surface of their laminate wood planks and vinyl. The top layer serves multiple purposes as it not only allows the flooring to look like authentic wood, but it boosts its appearance and durability too on a daily basis. 

When toughness is required in areas that are likely to be hard-worn, then choose a ceramic bead UV coating for commercial purposes, but it can also be used in high-traffic areas of the home to add toughness. This top layer is highly resistant to wear and tear, and it can endure for years without showing any signs of deterioration. For a clean and contemporary look, a mineral-enhanced UV coating is another choice and it has been engineered on the surface of each plank to protect it from the harsh sunlight which can often change the color or tone of the plank.

Quartz-enhanced UV coating is suitable for multiple types of vinyl plank and provides the best resistance to shoe scuffs and scratches from moving furniture, so it makes an excellent option for children’s bedrooms as well as busy utility spaces. An embossed finish is a must if you want to feel the texture of the plank underneath your feet as you walk, as it differs greatly to the smoothness of vinyl. In brighter rooms, this also helps to reflect the light and pick out the detail in your new wood plank installation.
