Tough choice

Bolon
Stuck for what to put down on your tired floorboards? If you want the effect of vinyl but do not like what is available on the market, take a look at Bolon’s latest collections of industrial-quality vinyl flooring, which looks like woven cloth but is as tough as linoleum. Expect to pay from £46 a square metre.
