Vinyl flooring comparison 2026
The best vinyl floors, compared.
Top pick: SHINEOFI peel-and-stick roll Best value: ATOPOSE dark grey planks – Best value as the next room-sized pack: about £39.89 for 5.02 m², about £7.95 per m², 4.4 from 511 reviews, stated 1.5 mm. Updated 16.10.2026.
A vinyl floor in a UK search can mean a peel-and-stick film, a glue-down luxury vinyl tile, or a rigid click plank, and those are not the same product. The twelve amazon.co.uk listings are all peel-and-stick: wood-effect planks, square tiles, or a narrow roll, with a stated total thickness from about 0.6 mm to 2.0 mm. People buy them to refresh a smooth, dry floor in a bathroom, hallway, kitchen, or rental without hiring a fitter. On the listings and the reviews, what changes the result is thickness, a flat subfloor, and whether the adhesive holds without extra glue. A specified glue-down under BS EN ISO 10582, or a locked click floor under BS EN 16511, is a different purchase: those products carry a wear layer and a use class these packs do not print. If you are still deciding whether a thin film is the right vinyl, use the [vinyl floor buying guide](/hub/flooring/vinyl-floor/sub/vinyl-floor-buying-guide).

SHINEOFI’s grey PVC roll is listed at £30.49 with 5.0 from 1 review. The specification says 3 × 0.6 m and 1.5 mm, which would be about 1.8 m² and about £16.94 per square metre, while a highlight says 118.11 × 23.62 × 0.06 inches. The pack weighs 780 g, which is light beside a dense 1.5 mm sheet of that area, and both figures stay as printed. The single UK review reports good adhesion, a cut with a Stanley knife, a look the reviewer compared with a more expensive vinyl, and foot traffic so far, with no criticism in the text. One review cannot show a repeated fault. The listing says commercial and claims wear resistance and slip resistance without a pendulum value. Bathrooms are asked on the page, and the bullets name kitchens and public areas rather than a tested wet room. A score of 5.0 from one review is not a survey.
Pros
- The only review reports good adhesion and an easy knife cut
- Grey peel-and-stick roll rather than a box of short planks
- Specification line gives 3 × 0.6 m if that is the roll that arrives
Cons
- 5.0 from 1 review
- Size and thickness lines conflict
- 780 g is hard to reconcile with a 1.5 mm sheet of about 1.8 m²
- Commercial is a word, with no class and no slip value
Best for: Only if you can measure the roll on arrival and you do not need a pattern of reviews.
Less suitable: Any room where the size, the thickness, or the bond has to be known before you order.

Common questions
What size is the roll?
The specification says 3 × 0.6 m and 1.5 mm thick. The highlight says 118.11 × 23.62 × 0.06 in. Weight is 780 g. Those lines are not reconciled in the saved listing.
What do the reviews say?
There is one UK review. It reports good adhesion, a Stanley-knife cut, and foot traffic so far. A score of 5.0 from one review is not a large sample.

FloorPops Daphne, model FP4663, is 10 floral squares, 12 × 12 inches, 10 square feet (about 0.93 m²), listed at £14.00 (about £15.07 per m²) with 4.6 from 595 reviews, the highest star score in this set. Thickness in millimetres is not stated. UK reviewers describe a cheap bathroom makeover over existing vinyl, a decent feel underfoot next to thinner films, and cuts with strong scissors. One rental entrance and laundry stayed for a few months and lifted without damage for that reviewer. Another bathroom review reported lifting and extra adhesive. The stick is movable while you are still positioning the tile and strong once it has set, so early placement matters. The main bullets say water resistant and washable, and a feature line also says waterproof. The page also lists scrapbook among recommended uses, and corners need spare tiles because one pack is only 10 square feet.
Pros
- Highest star score in the set, 4.6 from 595
- Floral squares, 12 × 12 inches, for a small refresh
- A rental review lifted them without damage after a few months
- Movable while you are still positioning them
Cons
- Thickness in millimetres is not stated
- About £15.07 per m², dearer by area than the room-sized plank packs
- One bathroom review reported lifting and extra adhesive
- Only 10 square feet a pack, and the page also lists scrapbook use
Best for: A small floral refresh, such as a cloakroom over existing vinyl, when you buy spare tiles for the cuts.
Less suitable: A wood-effect room, or a bathroom where the bond has to survive standing water.

Common questions
Are these wood-effect planks?
No. This pack is the Daphne floral design in green, pink and white, 10 squares of 12 × 12 inches, 10 square feet.
Can they go in a bathroom?
The listing asks about bathrooms and calls the tiles water resistant and washable. UK reviews include a bathroom makeover over existing vinyl and a rental entrance. One bathroom review reported lifting and extra adhesive.

Mysflosy model 9163 is 36 European oak planks stated at 1.5 mm and 5 m², listed at £52.99 (about £10.60 per m²), the highest pack price in this set, with 4.5 from 36 reviews. Item dimensions list 0.1 cm, which is 1 mm, so the thickness lines do not agree, and no wear-layer thickness is printed. UK reviews describe an easy lay over old kitchen tiles, cuts with scissors or a Stanley knife, and a hallway that looked like laminate to one reviewer. Two reviews still used extra glue, including spray contact adhesive on concrete, even though the listing says no extra adhesive is needed. One order took 21 days, and one reviewer had not used the pack yet. The listing claims a waterproof, scratch-resistant face for kitchens and bathrooms. Thirty-six reviews is a short file next to packs with several hundred. You pay the most in this set for a 5 m² oak effect whose thickness is not one number.
Pros
- 36 European oak planks, stated cover 5 m²
- 4.5 from 36 reviews
- Reviews describe an easy cut and a lay over old kitchen tiles
Cons
- £52.99 is the highest pack price here, about £10.60 per m²
- 1.5 mm in the bullets and 0.1 cm on item dimensions
- Extra glue was used on concrete and in a two-room job
- 36 reviews, and one order took 21 days
Best for: An oak-effect plank room of about 5 m² if you have checked a sample thickness and you are ready to add adhesive.
Less suitable: A tight budget, or a concrete floor where the listing’s no-extra-glue line has to be true.

Common questions
Do they stick on concrete without extra glue?
The listing says no extra adhesive is needed on a clean, dry surface. UK reviews of a kitchen over old tiles, and of concrete, say spray adhesive was still used so the planks would stay down.
Is 1.5 mm the wear layer?
The bullets state 1.5 mm total thickness. Item dimensions list 0.1 cm. No separate wear-layer thickness is printed.
Our view
The YAYODS light oak yellow roll, model YQUK-VinylFloor-1PCS-Yel-260403fa, is listed as 40 cm × 10 m, up to 4 m², stated at 1.6 mm, at £29.99 (about £7.50 per m² on 4 m²). The amazon.co.uk line is 4.5 from 2 reviews, and the listing was first available on 3 April 2026. Both notes in the saved listing are positive: easy to cut, a quick low-cost wood-effect cover, and soft to walk on in the second review. The second review largely repeats the product specification, and neither review records a fault. That sample is too small to show whether edges lift, whether the colour matches, or how the sheet wears. The bullets say to use a flat, clean, dry surface and to test a small area first. They do not state a removal result, a wear layer, or a wet-room specification. The pack weight is 1.55 kg. Treat the stars as two short notes.
Pros
- Stated thickness 1.6 mm on a 40 cm × 10 m roll
- Up to 4 m² at £29.99, about £7.50 per m²
- Both written reviews are positive about cutting and feel
Cons
- Only 2 reviews, and one mostly repeats the specification
- No removal result and no wear layer in the bullets
- First available 3 April 2026, so the file is new
Best for: A light-oak roll for a flat, dry room of up to 4 m², if you can accept that almost nobody has written up a fault yet.
Less suitable: A hallway or bathroom you need other buyers to have already tested.

Common questions
How many people have reviewed it?
The listing shows 4.5 out of 5 from 2 reviews. Both notes in the saved listing are positive. That is too small a sample to show a repeated fault.
Will it suit an uneven or wet-room floor?
The listing says to use a flat, clean, dry surface and to test a small area first. It asks about wet rooms and uneven surfaces and does not give a wet-room specification.
Our view
ATOPOSE DarkGreyB is 36 dark grey planks, stated at 1.5 mm, covering 5.02 m², listed at £39.89 (about £7.95 per m²) with 4.4 from 511 reviews. Reviewers often finish a simple room in an afternoon with a Stanley knife, and one high-traffic spot by the stairs stayed down on cleaned concrete. A UK review after 15 months, with two large dogs and extra glue, reported no lifting and one dent from a dropped furniture corner, and said the surface was slippy until it was mopped. The adhesive is very grabby, so a small bathroom full of cuts is harder than a square hall, and glue ended up on skirting and the side of a bath. The listing claims a rigid PVC core, a waterproof surface, no special tools, and a 5-year residential limited warranty. It is the best value in this set: the next room-sized pack after the 2.0 mm grey planks, with a thinner sheet and a smaller review file.
Pros
- 4.4 from 511 reviews
- 36 planks, 5.02 m², about £7.95 per m²
- Stated thickness 1.5 mm, and reviewers trim it with a Stanley knife
- A 15-month review with two large dogs reported no lifting, with extra glue used
Cons
- Adhesive grabs, so a small bathroom is hard to align
- Glue got onto skirting and a bath in one review
- Slippy until mopped, in that same long review
- 1.5 mm is thinner than the 2.0 mm plank pack
Best for: A simple dark-grey room of about 5 m², including cleaned concrete, if you can place each plank before the adhesive grabs.
Less suitable: A fitted bathroom full of cuts, or a floor you will step onto wet and expect to be tested for slip.

Common questions
Are special tools required?
The listing says no glue, tools or hired workers. UK reviews cut the planks with a Stanley knife. One small bathroom was hard because the adhesive grabbed while pieces were still being aligned.
How have they worn for people with dogs?
One UK review, after 15 months on concrete with two large dogs and extra glue, reported no lifting and one dent from dropped furniture. The same review said the surface was slippy until it was mopped.

Lareko model EW5071-K5 is a smoke grey peel-and-stick roll, title 30 cm × 5 m and 1.5 m², stated at 0.62 mm, listed at £17.99 (about £11.99 per m²) with 4.4 from 121 reviews. The specification width is 0.31 m. Reviewers, including one person working alone, say it looks like an upgrade and has been used in a rental hallway and a bathroom, and that it lies better if you unroll it, cut with spare, and weight it flat before peeling. They also say it is thin, that edges needed extra glue by day two even with spray adhesive, and that the colour is hard to match to the photo. The roll arrives curled. The bullets include the phrase 105% waterproof, which is listing copy rather than a test result, and the underlay question is unanswered. A utility knife is the tool named for cutting. You get one long strip with fewer seams than planks, on a sheet reviewers still describe as thin.
Pros
- One 5 m roll, so fewer seams than short planks
- 4.4 from 121 reviews
- Used in a rental hallway and a bathroom in UK reviews
Cons
- Stated thickness 0.62 mm, and reviewers wanted more
- Edges needed extra glue by day two in reviews
- 105% waterproof is a listing phrase, not a test
- Title width 30 cm; the specification says 0.31 m
Best for: A narrow run, such as a short hallway, if you flatten the roll and can live with a thin sheet.
Less suitable: A floor where edges must stay down on the factory glue alone.

Common questions
Does this roll need underlay?
The listing asks whether it needs underlay. The bullets describe peel-and-stick on a clean, dry, smooth floor and do not include an underlay.
What does 105% waterproof mean here?
It is a phrase in the listing bullets, not a test result in the saved listing. UK reviews include a bathroom and a rental hallway, and some edges needed extra glue.

YAYODS grey wood-effect squares are 40 tiles of 30 × 30 cm, stated at 1.3 mm and 3.6 m², listed at £27.00 (about £7.50 per m²) with 4.4 from 84 reviews. One reviewer laid an area alone in about an hour and a half and said the backing peeled more easily than some other stick tiles. The texture was better in person than expected, and one person bought the pack twice for a kitchen and bathroom refresh. The item-dimension line says 0.1 cm, which is 1 mm, so it disagrees with 1.3 mm. Some tiles were not sticky enough and needed spray adhesive, and adhesive got onto feet and was walked through the house. The pattern is hard to match, and one review called the mix-and-match look a waste of money. The listing claims a waterproof, stain-resistant layer and does not include an underlay. At this price you are buying a mid-thickness square with a short review file and an uneven stick.
Pros
- £27.00 for 3.6 m², about £7.50 per m²
- 30 × 30 cm squares, 40 in the pack
- One reviewer finished an area alone in about 1.5 hours
- 4.4 from 84 reviews
Cons
- Item dimensions say 0.1 cm against a stated 1.3 mm
- Some tiles needed spray adhesive
- Adhesive transferred onto feet
- Pattern is hard to match
Best for: A grey square lay of about 3.6 m² where you can check the stick on the first tile before you commit.
Less suitable: A matching wood-plank look, or a house where loose adhesive would be walked through.

Common questions
Do these squares need underlay?
The listing asks whether underlay is needed. The bullets say to peel the film onto a smooth, flat, dry surface and do not list an underlay.
Do reviewers add extra glue?
Some UK reviews say the tiles stick well. Others say they bought spray adhesive because pieces were not sticky enough, and that adhesive transferred onto feet.

FLOREXP model GY2023004T is 36 grey peel-and-stick planks, stated at 2.0 mm, covering 5.02 m², listed at £35.99 (about £7.17 per m²) with 4.3 from 1,138 amazon.co.uk reviews. Reviewers cut them with scissors or by scoring and snapping, and several laid them over old laminate, lino, or concrete. A non-DIY reviewer fitted a downstairs toilet, and one floor that had spray glue underneath was still down after about two years. The factory adhesive is the recurring complaint: it gets everywhere if you pull too much backing, fresh planks can move for about a day, and several people bought spray glue because the stick was uneven. The box weight is 17.2 kg while a bullet says 20 kg. The listing claims a 5-year residential warranty and full resistance to surface moisture, and it asks for a 2 mm gap to the wall on cold days. In this set it is the top pick for a stick-down plank pack when you want the 2.0 mm line, 5.02 m², and the largest review count. It is still a stick-down film.
Pros
- Stated thickness 2.0 mm, the thickest consistent plank here
- 4.3 from 1,138 reviews
- £35.99 for 5.02 m², about £7.17 per m², the lowest rate in the set
- Laid over old laminate, lino, and concrete in reviews
Cons
- Factory glue is messy and uneven, and several reviews added spray glue
- Fresh planks can move until the adhesive sets
- Weight is 17.2 kg against a 20 kg bullet
- Damaged or open cartons, with a few poor planks
Best for: A grey plank room of about 5 m² on a smooth, dry floor, if you peel the backing in sections and can add glue where a piece is slack.
Less suitable: A shower or wet room, or anyone who wants the factory adhesive to be tidy on the first pull.

Common questions
Can they go over an existing floor?
UK reviews describe laying them over old laminate, lino and concrete. The listing itself says the floor must be smooth, flat and dry. Pieces can move until the adhesive sets.
Why do people buy spray glue as well?
Several reviews say the factory adhesive is messy or uneven, and that spray glue on the floor first stopped lifting through washing and traffic, including a floor that had been down about two years.

EasyFloor rustic wood, part B2000070, is 35 peel-and-stick planks stated at 2 mm and 5 m², listed at £46.74 (about £9.35 per m²) with 4.2 from 87 reviews. The plank size is 914.4 × 152.4 mm and the pack weighs 13.9 kg, so it is a heavier box than the 0.6 mm films. Reviewers cut it with scissors or a Stanley knife, liked the warm colour against grey packs, and one hallway was laid as a herringbone with a border. Some planks lifted until they were weighted overnight, a straight-edge border was fiddly, and one pack in a multi-pack order arrived in a different colour. The pattern repeats if you do not mix planks. The listing says commercial and names standards including EN 13501-1 and DIN 51130 without a class or a pendulum value. A buyer still looked for a sealant on top, so the 2 mm face did not close the water question for them.
Pros
- Stated thickness 2 mm, with 5 m² in the box
- About £9.35 per m² at £46.74
- Cuts with scissors or a Stanley knife in reviews
- Warm rustic colour, including a hallway herringbone
Cons
- 87 reviews is a smaller file than the packs with hundreds
- Some planks lifted until weighted overnight
- A pack arrived in a different colour
- Named standards have no class and no pendulum value
Best for: A rustic plank lay of about 5 m² on a dry, flat floor, if you mix the pattern and weight any piece that lifts.
Less suitable: Anyone reading commercial as an ISO use class, or a herringbone if you want an easy border.

Common questions

The listing says nonslip and names DIN 51130 among other standards. It does not print a pendulum test value or an R class.

The auxua brown roll, model DW5036-3m, is listed at £15.49 for a title size of 30 cm × 3 m, 0.9 m², about £17.21 per square metre, with 4.1 from 842 reviews. The specification says 0.6 mm and a bullet says 0.10 mm, and one bullet says 34 cm wide while the title says 30 cm. Reviewers describe an easy, cheap cover, including a temporary bathroom refresh, and some people stuck the material onto wood furniture or cut it into strips. A UK review says it does not stick and peels straight up. Others call it cheaply made, thin, fiddly to line up, and small for the money, with bubbles mentioned in the review text. The listing claims the adhesive leaves no stubborn residue. The saved listing mixes United Kingdom and United States reviews, so 842 is not a UK-only count. At least one reviewer would not use it under ordinary foot traffic because of the thickness.
Pros
- Low pack price, £15.49, for a short roll
- Reviewers cut it with scissors, including into strips
- 4.1 from 842 reviews, a large count for a roll this size
Cons
- Thickness is printed as 0.10 mm and as 0.6 mm
- Title width 30 cm; one bullet says 34 cm
- A UK review says it peels straight up
- 0.9 m² is a small area at about £17.21 per m²
Best for: A tiny trial patch, such as a cupboard, if you measure the roll before you commit to a whole room.
Less suitable: A bathroom or hallway you want to stay down, or anyone who needs one agreed thickness.

Common questions
How thick is this roll?

Does the listing say it will come off cleanly?
The listing says the adhesive is built in and that removal does not leave stubborn residue. A UK review says it does not stick and peels straight up. Both lines are in the saved listing.

Lareko model UK-5073-12 is 12 natural oak peel-and-stick planks, 15 × 90 cm, stated at 0.6 mm, listed at £16.99. The size line says 1.67 m² and a bullet says 1.6 m², about £10.17 per square metre on 1.67 m², with 4.1 from 199 reviews. Many review texts in the saved listing are from the United States. UK reviewers say it is easy enough for the price once the roll is flattened under weight, and that the thin sheet cuts easily. One UK buyer saw edges lift within about a week, and a UK bathroom reviewer would not trust it in high traffic. The listing says it is for a hard, clean, flat, dry surface, claims it peels off without residue, and does not give an underfloor-heating temperature. Stick depends on a clean floor, and buyers who wanted a thicker floor planned to take it up. The date first available on the listing is 31 March 2026.
Pros
- Natural oak planks at £16.99 for about 1.6–1.67 m²
- Thin sheet cuts easily once it has been flattened
- Listing claims it peels off without residue
Cons
- Stated thickness 0.6 mm
- A UK review reports lifting within about a week
- Coverage is printed as both 1.6 m² and 1.67 m²
- Many review texts in the file are from the United States
Best for: A short-term oak-effect refresh on a hard, flat, dry floor, after you have weighted the curl out.
Less suitable: A busy bathroom, an uneven floor, or a job that needs a stated heating limit.

Common questions
Will it go on an uneven floor?
The listing says it is for a hard, clean, flat, dry surface and is not suitable for rough, uneven or textured floors. It also says to flatten the rolled planks under weight before you peel them.
Is underfloor heating stated?
The listing asks whether underfloor heating is compatible and does not give a temperature limit. There is no 27°C figure on this page.
Our view
NUFLR’s grey wood-effect pack is 10 peel-and-stick planks, 15 × 90 cm, stated at 0.6 mm and 1.35 m², listed at £15.99 (about £11.84 per m²) with 3.9 from 1,577 amazon.co.uk reviews. Reviewers who peel the backing slowly say it cuts with scissors and can look better than the price in a small, flat, low-traffic space, including a bathroom. The same file calls the sheet very thin, sometimes likened to tissue paper, and says it shows every ridge unless the floor is exceptionally flat. It arrives curled and is awkward to flatten. The adhesive is not always strong enough, yet once it has set reviewers say it will not lift off, and pulling the release paper in one go transfers glue and leaves gaps. Colour can differ from the listing photo. This is a large sample of a thin film, which is useful evidence and a weak choice for a floor you expect to keep.
Pros
- Largest review count in the set, 3.9 from 1,577
- Cuts with scissors when the backing is peeled slowly
- 10 planks, 1.35 m², at £15.99
Cons
- Stated thickness 0.6 mm, and reviewers say it shows every ridge
- Adhesive can be weak, and once set reviewers say it will not lift
- Arrives curled and the colour can differ from the photo
Best for: A small, very flat, low-traffic patch where you want a cheap grey film and can accept that it may not come up cleanly.
Less suitable: Any room you will live with, or a floor that is not already smooth and dry.

Common questions
Can these planks go in a bathroom?
The listing names bathrooms, kitchens, corridors, living rooms and bedrooms, on a smooth, flat, dry floor, and it calls the face waterproof and oil-proof. It does not give a slip test value. Reviewers say the 0.6 mm sheet shows every bump underneath.
How much floor does one pack cover?
The listing states 10 planks of 15 × 90 cm and 1.35 m². The shelf price in the saved listing is £15.99, about £11.84 per square metre on that coverage, before a cutting allowance.
How we compared
Scores compare the twelve amazon.co.uk peel-and-stick listings in this set. Prices, stars, review counts, thicknesses, and coverage are the figures taken from those listings on 15 October 2026. There is no laboratory test. Wear layer, slip, and how long a sheet lasts were not measured. The scores do not rank the wider UK market. The assessment uses four blocks of 40, 35, 20 and 10. The weights below are those shares rounded to 100: 38, 33, 19 and 10.
1
Review evidence
38%Star points run from 16 at 5.0 down to 2 at 3.9, plus volume points from 24 at 1,000 reviews or more down to 0 below 10. A file under 10 reviews also loses 4, because it cannot show a repeated fault.
2
Stated build
33%Thickness, coverage, and the grade word on the listing. A consistent 2.0 mm scores higher than a missing or contradictory thickness. Total thickness is not a wear layer, and commercial without an ISO 10874 class is not treated as a class.
3
Price per m2
19%Shelf price divided by the listing’s own stated coverage. Under £8 is the top of that block. If the size lines conflict so the rate is not reliable, the price block is the lowest band.

Listing clarity
10%Each listing starts full on this block. Points come off for a thickness or size contradiction, for reviews that describe weak adhesive or extra glue, and for a review count under 10.

Vinyl flooring buying guide
Peel-and-stick vinyl is a printed film with adhesive already on the back. The twelve packs here are that product: planks, squares, or a narrow roll. Glue-down LVT and a locked click floor are different purchases, with a wear layer and a use class these pages do not print. Read thickness, coverage, and the review file before the pack price. A face claim of waterproof does not seal joints or the subfloor, and one or two reviews are not a large sample.
What is peel-and-stick vinyl flooring?
Peel-and-stick plank, square, or narrow roll is printed PVC with adhesive already on the back. That is this entire set of twelve amazon.co.uk listings. Glue-down luxury vinyl tile is flexible heterogeneous PVC under BS EN ISO 10582, usually with an ISO 10874 class. Click or SPC floats and locks under BS EN 16511. The rolls here are 30–40 cm wide, not a full-width trade sheet. A thin film is not LVT.
Best for
- Renters and short-stay households refreshing a smooth, dry floor, who will not assume the film lifts cleanly
- Owners covering a small, already flat bathroom, hallway, or kitchen, who can cut planks and allow for waste
Not ideal for
- Anyone who needs a declared wear layer, a use class, a slip value, or years of heavy traffic
- A damp screed, a flat that must meet sound rules, or an old floor that may be asbestos and has to come up
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Buying the pack price
A low shelf price can be a small area. Divide by the listing’s own square metres. On this extract that rate runs from about £7.17 to about £17.21, then add about 10% for cuts.
- 2
Reading thickness as a wear layer
The millimetre line is total thickness, from about 0.6 mm to 2.0 mm in this set. None of these listings prints a separate wear layer or an ISO 10874 class.
- 3
Treating a waterproof line as a class
A 105% waterproof phrase, or the word commercial with no class, does not seal joints or the subfloor and is not a pendulum result. These pages publish no PTV.
What to weigh up
Stated thickness
HighStated total thickness is the build figure these listings print, and it is not a wear layer. In this set the line runs from about 0.6 mm to 2.0 mm. Around 0.6 mm is the group UK reviews call thin and likely to show every bump. That is the pattern on NUFLR, Lareko natural oak, the Lareko smoke-grey roll, and the auxua roll, where a bullet also says 0.10 mm. Around 1.5–2.0 mm is the stronger end: FLOREXP at 2.0 mm, EasyFloor at 2 mm, ATOPOSE at 1.5 mm, and the YAYODS light-oak roll at 1.6 mm.
Coverage, subfloor, and adhesive
HighDivide the shelf price by the listing’s own square metres, then add about 10% for cuts. A £15.99 pack of 1.35 m² is not the same purchase as a £35.99 pack of 5.02 m². On this extract the rate runs from about £7.17 per square metre on FLOREXP to about £17.21 on the auxua roll at 0.9 m². The subfloor has to be clean, dry, smooth, and hard. BS 8203 wants a permanently dry floor, and fitters cite SR1, under 3 mm on a 2 m straightedge. Listings say no extra glue.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Room pack at 1.5 mm
You want the next room-sized pack, dark grey planks at a stated 1.5 mm, 5.02 m², about £39.89, with 4.4 from 511 reviews. You can place each plank before the adhesive grabs.
Small floral refresh
You want a short cloakroom or rental patch in a floral square, about 0.93 m², and you will buy spare tiles for the cuts. Do not assume the film will lift cleanly in every review.
Common questions about vinyl floors
Which vinyl floor is the top pick in this set?
The top pick in this set is FLOREXP grey planks, model GY2023004T: 36 peel-and-stick pieces stated at 2.0 mm and 5.02 m², about £35.99 (about £7.17 per m²), with 4.3 from 1,138 amazon.co.uk reviews. It scores highest here because the thickness lines agree, the cover is a room-sized pack, and the review file is the largest. Factory glue is uneven, and several reviews added spray glue. It is still a stick-down film, not a specified luxury vinyl tile.
How much does peel-and-stick vinyl flooring cost?
On this extract, pack prices run from about £14.00 (FloorPops, about 0.93 m²) to about £52.99 (Mysflosy, 5 m²). Per square metre on each listing’s stated coverage, the range is about £7.17 to £17.21. Packs near 5 m² sit around £7 to £11 per square metre at a stated 1.5–2.0 mm. Divide the shelf price by the listing’s square metres, then add 10% for cuts. A shop range of about £5–£15 per square metre is their figure, not these listings.
What should you check before you buy vinyl flooring?
Confirm you want peel-and-stick, not glue-down LVT and not click SPC. Read stated total thickness: about 0.6 mm is the thin end reviews say shows every bump, and about 1.5–2.0 mm is the stronger end here. Total thickness is not a wear layer. Divide price by the listing’s square metres. The subfloor needs to be clean, dry, smooth, and hard. Listings say no extra glue; reviews often disagree. One or two reviews are not a thousand.
Is this the same as vinyl tiles or click LVT?
These twelve listings are peel-and-stick planks, squares, or a narrow roll. They are not glue-down luxury vinyl tile under BS EN ISO 10582, and they do not print an ISO 10874 class. Square packs here, such as YAYODS and FloorPops, are still stick-down film. For tile packs as their own category, see the vinyl tiles comparison. A locked click floor, under BS EN 16511, is not in this set.
Can these vinyl floors go in a bathroom?
Several listings name bathrooms, and some UK reviews describe a cloakroom or a bathroom refresh. None of these packs publishes a pendulum slip value, and a face that says waterproof does not seal the joints or the subfloor. Do not treat a 105% waterproof line, or the word commercial, as a wet-room class. Water, joints, and slip are set out in vinyl floor for bathrooms. Call a fitter if the screed may be damp.
Will peel-and-stick vinyl come off cleanly?
Some listings say the film peels off without residue. Others do not say. Reviews do not agree. NUFLR reviewers say that once the sheet has set it will not lift. Lareko smoke-grey edges needed extra glue by day two. FloorPops reviews include a rental lift and a bathroom that lifted. Do not assume a residue-free removal. A cut, stuck floor is harder to send back under the 30-day right in the Consumer Rights Act 2015, section 22.
Do these listings give a slip value, a wear layer, or a heating limit?
No listing here prints a pendulum test value, an ISO 10874 class, or a separate wear-layer thickness. HSE and the UK Slip Resistance Group treat 36 PTV or higher, wet, in use, as low slip potential. That number is not on these pages. Specified vinyl over underfloor heating is capped at 27°C by Nu-Heat and Furlong. These packs do not state that cap. This film is not a 4.5 mm soft covering under Approved Document E.
Our verdict
The top pick for a stick-down plank pack is FLOREXP grey planks when you want the 2.0 mm line, 5.02 m², and the largest review count in the set, 4.3 from 1,138. It is also the lowest price per square metre here, about £7.17, and it does not take both badges. The best value is ATOPOSE dark grey planks, the next room-sized pack, about £39.89 for 5.02 m² (about £7.95 per m²), at 4.4 from 511 reviews and a stated 1.5 mm. YAYODS grey squares are about £7.50 per m² and do not take that place: 84 reviews, adhesive transfer, and a 0.1 cm dimension line against 1.3 mm.
