Black

Black Rigid Vinyl provides a bold, high-end design accent. Its deep tone creates dramatic contrast, adds luxury and sophistication, and turns the floor into an architectural feature in both residential and commercial environments.

Black · The look

Black in the BML rigid vinyl range is one floor: the Black Slate SPC click tile. 6.5 mm thick at 305 mm by 610 mm with a 0.55 mm wear layer, a slate look for a bathroom, hallway or kitchen without the cold, the weight or the grout of stone.

Tile, not plank
The 305 mm by 610 mm format clicks together like the planks but reads as a tiled floor, laid brick bond or stack bond. It is the format for a room where a wood look would be wrong and real stone would be too much for the subfloor.
The heavier wear layer
A 0.55 mm wear layer, the thicker of the two in the range, over a solid polymer core. Hallways and kitchens are the rooms this specification is meant for.
Dark floors and light
A black floor shows dust and pale scratches the way a dark oak does, and asks for a room with good light. Under a white bathroom suite it gives the room a base; in a small windowless cloakroom it can close the space down.
Is the Black Slate tile suitable for a bathroom?
Yes, the Black Slate tile is suitable for a bathroom: it is listed as waterproof, with a solid polymer core that takes on no water, and it is listed as compatible with underfloor heating. The joints are tight but not sealed, so standing water should still be wiped up rather than left.
Does it need grout?
No. The tiles click together with a micro-bevelled edge, so the floor reads as a tiled surface with fine, dark joints rather than grout lines. There is nothing to seal and nothing to discolour.
Does a black vinyl floor show marks?
Dust and pale scratches show on any dark floor, vinyl or wood. The 0.55 mm wear layer resists the scratches; a damp mop deals with the dust. Felt pads under furniture and a doormat at the door do more than any cleaning product.
LVT or laminate, what is the difference?
LVT shrugs off water where laminate swells at the joints, and it is quieter and slightly softer underfoot; laminate is harder-wearing against scratches and cheaper. For wet rooms choose LVT every time.
Do you deliver UK-wide and can I get a sample first?
Yes, UK-wide delivery options, and samples from £1.99 so you can check the design at home first.

Choosing black rigid vinyl

There is one black floor in the rigid vinyl range, and it is a tile rather than a plank: the BML Black Slate SPC click tile, 6.5 mm thick, 305 mm by 610 mm, with a 0.55 mm wear layer over a solid polymer core. Like every floor in the range it is listed as waterproof and compatible with underfloor heating, arrives with the underlay attached, is commercial grade, and carries a 25 year manufacturer's warranty.

The slate look is the reason to choose it. Real slate is heavy, cold underfoot without heating, needs a subfloor that can carry it and a tiler to lay it, and its grout needs sealing and cleaning. The click tile gives the look at 6.5 mm, floats over a flat subfloor, clicks together with fine dark joints instead of grout, and can be laid in a day. It suits a bathroom under a white suite, a hallway that takes wet shoes, and a kitchen that wants a dark base under pale units.

A black floor is a decision about light as well as colour. It absorbs daylight and shows dust and pale scratches more than a mid-tone floor does. In a well-lit room that reads as depth; in a small windowless cloakroom it can make the space feel smaller. The wear layer is the thicker of the two in the range, which is the right specification for the rooms a slate look is usually wanted in.

For the same format in a lighter tone, the Concrete Dark Grey, Concrete Grey and Cement Light tiles in the grey subcategory share the size, the core and the wear layer. For a black floor in a plank format, the range has none; the dark browns are the nearest.
