Sorry for the dull question but just wondered if anyone has a rubber floor in their kitchen and would they recommend it with kids? We're getting a new kitchen and am struggling over what to do with the floor. I'm fed up of constantly sweeping/hoovering slate tiles and lighter coloured tiles would be even worse I'm assuming. I like the idea of rubber as in it's a soft landing and warm to walk on but I'm worried it will make it look like a Fitness First.

We have rubber on the bathroom floor, I love it, but it has got a few stains & dents now...that said it's been down 10 years!


It's pale yellow with circles on - Dalsouple?? We got tiles as it's quite a small area but would def. Go for one sheet next time as the joins annoy me!! Smallest sheet was twice the size we needed, which was why we didn't do it that way.

I have been designing kitchens for 5 years! Rubber floor is great! Go for it! Choose colour carefully. Go for one sheet if you can so it could be removed easily in few years time if you decide to change it!


Good luck with your project.

If you need any advice just shout!

Have you considered wood? We got oiled oak (extra wide planks) for our kitchen and I love them. Soft and don't show the dirt at all. You re-oil them about once a year or so and they look brand new again (this is very easy...just wash floors once and then go over with oil on a cloth). There is a wood floor place behind Forest Hill that has beautiful wood flooring and good prices. Think it is called Wood 4 Floors.
I'm finding it really hard to visualise what a rubber floor would look like? I've never heard of it. It is like lino? I hate our kitchen floor (old victorian floorboards which we had sanded and stained, but with lots of nails and cracks etc) We were thinking of replacing with stone but so cold!!!

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
