Today’s social housing providers are focused on the need to deliver tenants a good standard of housing and with floorcoverings proven to be beneficial to the well-being of tenants, ensuring adequate coverings in all rooms can contribute to that focus. However many tenants still endure moving into properties without floorcoverings in rooms where they are not required by relevant standards, facing living in poor conditions or taking on debt to improve their home.
The impact on well-being is significant, as one social housing tenant reveals: “I am forever grateful for our home, but I was shocked at the lack of basic necessity and safety when it came to the floors. I am too embarrassed to let visitors in or let the children have playmates to socialise. The stress affects us all.”
There is an answer for providers looking to improve the quality of homes: affordable sheet vinyl flooring from Beauflor. Sheet vinyl flooring provides excellent value and is also easy and cost-efficient to install. It can often be fitted over existing substrates with minimal preparation time, while glue-free options further lower initial financial outlay. With a long service life, it also can often last between tenancies, while its and resilience against wear and water ingress means fewer repairs and less frequent replacement.
As it’s easy to look after with regular vacuuming and mopping, it also assists tenants in keeping it in good condition. Because it covers bare floors and is certified for low VOC emissions, it also contributes to better indoor air quality for a happier and healthier home.
Chris Roberts, Sales Director UK, says, “Our sheet vinyl floors help social housing providers to deliver good quality flooring within budget constraints. They are a great way to raise the standard of provision and ensure that homes support the well-being of tenants through homelike design, durability, comfort and ease of maintenance.”
