Professional Floor Installation matters – the performance of a new floor depends on it.

/in , /by

You have a host of choices when it comes to new flooring – material, style, color, and more – really, the only limit is your imagination. Whatever flooring you choose for your home, who installs it makes all the difference.
Doing it yourself may seem like a great way to save money (and they do make it seem so easy on the home improvement shows), but the time spent and risk of mistake can be costly. This also goes for warehouse or discount dealers; they often take shortcuts or use inexperienced installers, so achieving the look you want or long-term value can be a costly proposition.
A professional accredited flooring technician has years of experience. YouTube videos may be helpful, but they aren’t going to provide you with the details necessary for completing such a difficult project. Only a professional has the knowledge and experience to guarantee a job well done.
Even the most elegant Laminate ,vinyl Mkeka wa Mbao or Linoleum flooring can appear cheap if the installation isn’t completed properly. Rather than settling for a mediocre installation, rely on professionals to make sure that your home looks its best.
There are many steps during a flooring installation that need to be completed correctly and skillfully for a successful outcome. We are committed in providing the installers with the best training so they in turn, will provide customers with the highest standards of workmanship.
A professional team can ensure that your flooring is installed correctly the first time. You won’t have to spend money on fixing loose ends or replacing mismanaged flooring. Rather, you can enjoy your perfect flooring for years to come.
How important is proper installation? So important that your warranty depends on it! Manufacturers know that Vinyl, or laminates can only perform as well as it is installed.
Safeguard your investment
Flooring investment is a major investment when installed properly, it can increase the overall value of your property. This is no small consideration.
As you can imagine, we’ve seen some pretty shoddy work over the years, which is why we feel so strongly about recommending an accredited professional installer.

Skirting boards are a common fixture in most homes and choosing a suitable design can complement an interior space beautifully. A popular and affordable option for skirting boards in your home is MDF Moulding. This versatile material has many benefits both functionally and aesthetically, and it pairs perfectly with a range of floor finishes.
Filling Gaps
Without skirting, the transition from floor to wall looks unfinished and bare and allows walls to be easily damaged. Even in modern houses, there can be a few millimeters difference between walls and flooring, the Expansion gaps between the floor and walls are ideal for natural expansion and contraction. To overcome this, MDF skirting boards provide a simple solution for covering these gaps, whilst creating an aesthetically pleasing look.
Long lasting MDF Moulding Material
Our Skirtings are made for longevity and offers a hardwearing yet decorative element to your home.

Preventing Damage
One of the key advantages of having skirting boards in your living spaces is to keep your rooms looking good. MDF skirting boards provide a tough barrier between the walls and furniture, and also prevent knocks – for example when you are vacuuming a room or if you have small children running around!
Covering Blemishes or Wiring
In properties new and old, there are elements of untidy paintwork or unsightly wiring especially along the bottom edge or corners of a room. Skirting board is an ideal option for covering these common problems and provides an affordable way to give a smoother finish to your décor.
Our skirting boards have spacious tunnels that separate from each other and allow you to put power cables and wires for TV, internet, computer and more.

Why Flooring is Important

/in /by


Flooring is a significant part of any interior design and can easily make or break your space. It serves as a foundation to your design and can ultimately determine its overall success. Flooring brings the whole room together: Without the right flooring, your room can have design elements in all the right places and still not look right! The floors of a house take the brunt of our everyday activities and are usually the first surfaces to reflect wear and tear.
While our first interaction with a space is visual, the first physical contact a person will have with your space is the flooring. As such it’s important to invest in floors which will keep pace with your daily life and add value while simultaneously infusing your home with a touch of class.
Regardless of which design style you have chosen, selecting a complimentary flooring option is a must. As one of the most used surfaces in our home, flooring is expected to withstand constant use while enduring its transcendent quality. With the vast variety of flooring choices available, it is easy to get carried away and forget about the practical aspects that should be taken into consideration.
Pricing, quality and style are amongst the top researched variances when purchasing flooring. While it is possible to save money upfront by purchasing cheap flooring, it will not last. Nowadays, flooring is viewed as an investment and there are a number of options available for every budget. From hardwood, to laminate, marmoleum and Mkeka wa Mbao™ – Floor Décor Kenya carries them all our underlying goal is durability first price comes second .
Floors are an essential element in interior design and improving the aesthetic appeal of any property. But when it comes to decorating a space, some home and business premises owners make the mistake of focusing only on the ceilings and walls and completely overlooking the flooring.  You do not want to do that. A room’s flooring is its base, too. A high quality floor improves the interior design of a space and brings together all the other elements, including the furniture and wall and ceiling decors.
Looking for superior quality and affordable flooring materials at the right flooring center is therefore important. Home and business owners in East Africa are very privileged to have a reliably flooring store such as Floor Décor Kenya that offers all its clients a wide variety of top quality flooring options for both residential and commercial buildings, offices, Hospitals, Churches, Warehouses, Schools, Hotels and Industries.
Whether you choose to go with durable laminates, or easy to maintain vinyl and marmoleum or the lush turf grass, you’ll find the best of these products at Floor Décor Kenya Showrooms countrywide.

Floor Décor Kenya Cares about Your Health and Well being with our Original floors with zero cancer causing chemicals

Floor Décor Kenya Cares about Your Health and Well being

Majority of Home Builders and Owners fall prey to unsuspecting developers and businessmen who source substandard flooring materials from some factories in China and Eastern Europe. Some low quality laminates and Vinyl from these regions contain high levels of cancer causing Phthalates and Formaldehyde. Phthalates are mainly used as plasticizers; substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, durability, transparency and longevity.

It is therefore important for buyers to check the kind of flooring brands used by developers; majority of the developers only care about the selling value and ease of making quick returns on building developments and ignore the consumer and the health risk associated with installing substandard flooring materials.

The debate on the dangers and toxicity of phthalates and formaldehydes has been going on for years. Research has proven to the fact that exposure to phthalates may lead to health problem such as cancer, asthma and allergies, autism, low IQ, fertility problems and neurodevelopment issues, birth defects, learning and memory disorders.

Dangerous volatile organic compounds, a.k.a. VOCs, are the last thing you would want in your home. Because these chemical compounds have a very low boiling point, large numbers of their molecules will evaporate at normal room temperature. The resulting vapor mixes with clean air inside your rooms exposing you and your family to cancer causing chemicals.

Original PERGO® Laminated Floors No Scratch Test

/1 Comment/in , /by

You are moving stuff around at home, dragging chairs and tables trying to get a new style and design going on for you, then after you are just about done, you step back and take a look at your space….. it is at that very dramatic point you notice all the scratches on your floor. They are all over!!! It’s a total disaster. Well, how about you get to move your stuff around with no restrictions and most importantly no scratches. Thanks to the Original PERGO® laminate floors Made in Belgium and distributed locally by  Floor Decor Kenya, you can have your beautiful wooden floors stay just the same, as good as new.

I have a tiny very creative niece who is at that age where she loves to draw on things! On the walls, on my clothes and yes she does have a go at my tiling too (I’m sure most of you can relate) So she’ll pick up a pen, crayon or a marker (depending on her mood) and draw her ABC’s and 123’s at a corner of the house. This then pushed me  to find a solution because clearly the “stop it” and “don’t do that sweetie” weren’t really working out for me or my tiles.

I made my way to the Floor Decor Kenya website and started having a look at the options they had for me. The beautiful wooden floor laminate available in 84 different design  looked perfect but the major selling point was that they were easy to clean and they acquired no scratches as compared to other products such as Bamboo and the likes in terms of durability.

My first thought was take my money!

Me being a firm believer of seeing is believing, most times reading or hearing about something doesn’t really cut it. So here is a link to a demonstrative YouTube video showing the very profound difference in terms of scratch resistance between Floor Decor Kenya’s PERGO® Original Laminate With Titan X  Surface Protection and other Laminate  flooring  products in the market .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sReG5EwDRGk

 

If you are aiming for durability then the Original PERGO® Laminate flooring is the thing for you. You don’t have to worry about scratch marks that put off your whole home design and style, how about you save some money and time and go straight for some beautiful wooden PERGO® floors.
