Tiles deliver diversity in design

Rita Bancroft • February 19, 2024

Providing unrivalled design choice and installation versatility, we discover the unmatched durability and design diversity in our latest review of Tile Styles. 


Furlong Flooring offers a comprehensive selection of Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) flooring options, including the Endura, Sirona, Carina, and Aurora ranges. These ranges exemplify cutting-edge technology and design, providing unparalleled benefits for both residential and commercial spaces.


One of the key advantages of Furlong Flooring's LVT/SPC tiling is durability. The Endura range, for instance, is engineered to withstand high-traffic areas, ensuring longevity without compromising on aesthetics. SPC construction enhances resilience against scratches and dents, making it ideal for busy environments.


Moreover, Furlong Flooring's LVT/SPC offers versatility in design.
The range boasts a wide array of colours and patterns,
allowing customers to achieve their desired aesthetic effortlessly. Whether replicating the look of natural wood or contemporary
stone finishes, the Endura, Sirona, Carina and Aurora ranges offer limitless design possibilities to suit various interior themes.

Another notable benefit is easy maintenance. Furlong Flooring's LVT/SPC requires minimal upkeep, thanks to its water-resistant properties and resistance to stains. This makes it a practical choice for spaces prone to spills and moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms.



Furlong Flooring's LVT/SPC combines durability, versatility, and low maintenance, making it a standout choice for modern living and commercial spaces. With the Endura, Sirona, Carina, and Aurora ranges, customers can enjoy both style and substance in their flooring solutions. 

We caught up with Gavin Smith, marketing director at Karndean Designflooring, to hear about their latest Tile Styles, he said: “Don’t expect herringbone to be going anywhere…


One of the many benefits of luxury vinyl flooring is its outstanding versatility, meaning that any pattern can be achieved in almost any material. So, a herringbone floor doesn’t have to be wood. In a stone design, from luxe Palazzo Marble and Midnight Marble to smooth grey limestones Fumo and Argento, a stone herringbone floor will bring a
cool sophistication to any room. Not just restricted to kitchens and bathrooms, this is a floor that will bring visual impact to living rooms
and bedrooms too.


“We’ve seen a huge shift towards warmer beige tones,
light greys and off-whites. Texture and bringing touches of natural materials indoors are still just as important in 2024.”

It could be to do with the time of year, and people trying to create a cosier feel, or maybe it’s because many of us seem to be spending a little more time in our homes, but it seems we are keen to create a warmer, more welcoming feel now than ever before. We’ve seen a huge shift towards warmer beige tones, light greys and off-whites. Texture and bringing touches of natural materials indoors are still just as important in 2024”. 


Introducing stone designs to its recently revitalised Van Gogh collection for the first time, Karndean has created a collection of iconic marble, slate and terracotta designs in cool tones, from the fresh white colouring and distinctive veining of Palazzo Marble to the clean charcoal hues of Milanese Slate. Four Breccia marbles (Bianco Breccia Marble shown) feature the natural stone’s characteristic embedded fragments in a new large 18" x 36" tile which amply highlights the natural variation of the product. 


Classic tiles, poured and polished concrete, slate, limestone and sandstone, and even marble; LeoLine cushion vinyl flooring has it all. What’s more, LeoLine makes these hard to fit floors anything but and makes them more affordable and more comfortable too. 

Stuart Reeves, LeoLine, says:
“Concrete and marble are trending looks, but they’re also expensive finishes and need specialist installation. It’s the same for classic tiles and stones too. These floors cost a lot to install and need careful attention to maintain. With LeoLine, homes can get the look without any of those drawbacks, plus they also feel great to walk on. For homes that want the look of stone and tile, but that don’t want the fuss or just can’t quite afford them, LeoLine is a great alternative.”


The LeoLine collection offers a wide choice of tile designs that can give homes an instant lift. Classic ceramic tile designs like Evora make a great flooring feature in hallways or bathrooms, while the marble of Portoro brings a high luxury look to kitchens. Add in concrete with Crosby, sleek stone in Toledo and Barcelona or the natural limestone of Vesuvio, and LeoLine has a style of tile that can make hallways heavenly, kitchens cool and living spaces luxurious. 


When it comes to style in tiles, there’s one luxury vinyl brand that’s right up there – Moduleo


With its Roots collection, the Belgian brand offers an impressive range
of tile designs, as well as a giant XL format that brings an impressive
look to rooms. 


Elise Bylo, design manager, says:
“The tile looks in Roots are there to inspire homeowners and trigger their imagination. We want to help them create a beautiful home with thoughtfully designed and unique living spaces.”

brand’s stunning Fiastra terrazzo is a real head turner, but it is perhaps the less daring looks that homeowners will often choose. Though as the collection shows, this doesn’t have to be conventional. 


“Our Mattina stone design is a great example of how you can take a subtle poured concrete look and give it a Moduleo edge,”
continues Elise.
“Of course, we made the floor in typically popular shades like grey, but by adding tones of teal, green and blue we’ve also elevated it beyond the expected. In an XL tile it’s a statement look, but one that’s really liveable and which many homes can enjoy.”


Moduleo offers an exciting alternative for retailers and consumers alike. With a diverse range of durable, stylish products as well as excellent customer service and unparalleled ‘green’ credentials, Moduleo has made a significant impact on the UK flooring market. Moduleo comes in both a traditional LVT construction and a simple-to-install Click system, which holds a strong cross-consumer appeal, making it ideal for any modern space. Be it home, office, or commercial, Moduleo offers luxury solutions for the ultimate in natural-looking and durable flooring.
