What Factors Should I Consider Before Installing Vinyl Flooring?

What Factors Should I Consider Before Installing Vinyl Flooring?

No comments

Disclosure - This is a collaboration 

If you've decided on luxury vinyl flooring, such as Luvanto, for your home, you may be drawn to its stylish appeal. However, have you thought about how its benefits relate to your home and what you can do to maintain its appearance over time?

Undoubtedly, you're thrilled with your choice and the potential cost savings if you're installing it yourself. Let's delve deeper into how it can work out for the better.

Which Room Are You Targeting?

Different rooms have varying requirements, with some needing more care and consideration than others.

For instance, when installing vinyl flooring in a bathroom or kitchen, moisture becomes a major factor. In these cases, 100% waterproof properties are necessary, but it's important to note that leaving large amounts of water unattended can damage any flooring, including vinyl.

Hallways, which experience heavy foot traffic, require highly durable and long-lasting flooring. Examining the specific needs and usage of each room is crucial when selecting the right vinyl.

How Will Children and Pets Affect the Flooring?

Children and pets can contribute significantly to wear and tear on the floor. Ideally, you should choose vinyl with the most resilient wear layers and anti-slip design.

Luvanto luxury vinyl flooring offers durability and resistance to constant use. It could be the perfect choice for reducing accidents and providing overall comfort when kids and pets are roaming around.

Luvanto flooring is designed to be practical, soft, and long-lasting, ensuring maximum satisfaction and easy maintenance.

Will the Flooring Disrupt the Room's Cohesiveness?

Unless you're planning a bold, outlandish colour scheme throughout your home, vinyl flooring comes in numerous designs that complement your interior choices. The flooring can seamlessly transition between rooms, providing a cohesive look even if you desire a different vibe without separate floors.

By carefully selecting designs that can integrate perfectly with your existing rooms, you can achieve a harmonious balance in your home without sacrificing personal style.

Factors to Consider While Buying Eyeglasses

Factors to Consider While Buying Eyeglasses

No comments

Disclosure - This is a guest post

E-commerce is taking the world by storm- after all, the convenience offered by it is unbeatable. When we can buy glasses while taking a chill pill in our comfort zone, why hop from one brick-and-mortar store to another? The internet is up to the brim with a wide range of lenses, frames and customisation options- everything is just a few clicks away. But, we also understand that choosing the best eyeglasses with perfect fit and prescription accuracy looks like a daunting task. What if the glasses you receive are not properly crafted? In order to shop online successfully, there are certain tips that you need to keep in mind. Let’s explore the insights and key strategies so that you can make an informed decision and buy glasses.

Get an Eye Test and Gather Your Prescription Details 

Buying prescription glasses for men and women online is easier than ever before- however, you need to update your prescription before uploading it on the website. We, at Specscart, offer free eye tests to everyone. You can book a slot with us online and show up on the given date and time. Our trained opticians will examine your eyes and suggest glasses accordingly. 

In a prescription, you will find the following details: 

Left and Right Sphere: The prescription’s first number helps to understand how farsighted or nearsighted you are. It is abbreviated as SPH. Here, you will come across a negative or positive sign near the sphere value. 

Left and Right Cylinder: People with astigmatism will find a negative or positive cylinder value (CYL) in their prescription’s second number. If you don’t have this particular eye concern, your prescription will include letters SPH or DS.

Left and Right Axis: Once you are spotted with astigmatism, you will observe an axis value in your prescription’s last number. 

Prism Correction: Prism numbers are responsible for treating various eye conditions- one of them is muscular imbalance. While prism numbers don’t play a great role, it’s better to infuse the numbers while placing an order. 

ADD Value: Prescriptions for progressive, bifocal and reading glasses have an ADD power. This value is represented by a (+) sign. 

Learn About Your Pupillary Distance 

Apart from all the prescription details, it’s important to learn about your pupillary distance as well. Now, what do you mean by pupillary distance or PD? It is a number that measures the overall distance between one pupil’s centre to another pupil’s centre. Like this, you will get glasses that fit you properly and are perfectly centred over the eyes. 

You can easily measure your PD at home. Follow these steps: 

Stand 8 inches away from a mirror- it will help you to get accurate measurements. 

Take a ruler having millimetre markings and place it across your eyebrows. Keep your left eye closed. 

Line up the ruler’s end with your right pupil’s centre. Close your right eye.  

After that, you need to open your left eye and align your ruler to your left pupil’s mid portion. Check out where exactly the measurement ends. 

Consider remeasuring more than once and observe whether the figures are the same every time

If you are buying progressive or bifocal lenses, paying attention to accurate PD measurement is extremely important. 

Decide the Lense You Need 

The various types of lenses we promise to deliver include:

Progressive Lens: Progressive lenses are well-equipped with multifocal lenses- there are no visible lines at all. Glasses with progressive lenses enable you to look at near, intermediate and far distances. 

Single Vision: Single vision lenses generally have one corrective power. Whether you need reading glasses or you are farsighted or nearsighted, these lenses are here to offer clarity and crystal-clear vision. 

Bifocal Lens: In bifocal lenses, you will find multiple focus points along with a visible line to separate them. With these types of lenses, you can now combine the functionality of reading glasses and single vision into one. 

Blue Light Lens: Eyeglasses with blue light lenses are indeed one of the best picks in this digital era. Do these pairs and keep the harmful effect of blue light released from the digital devices at bay.

Polarised Lens: Polarised lenses are responsible for reducing glare and combating eye strain. Perfectly suitable for outdoor activities, these glasses are definitely a catch. 

Decide the Frame Size

Deciding the frame size gets easier if you have an old pair of eyeglasses. All you need to do is check out these three figures:

Eye Size: Eye size is mainly the horizontal width of your lens.

Bridge Size: Bridge size can be measured by the horizontal distance between two of your lenses.

Temple Size: Temple size is the arm piece’s length.

Pave your way toward our Find Fit page and we will recommend glasses that are meant for you. 

Choose Glasses According to Your Face Shape 

There is always a frame for every face. Check out the pointers stated below: 

Square-shaped Face: Individuals with a square-shaped face can try out round glasses and oval glasses.

Ladies can opt for cat-eye glasses that are way too pretty and definitely catchy. 

Round-shaped Face: Since people with a round face shape have soft features, it is best to don square glasses and rectangular glasses. Grabbing a balanced look has never been easier before. 

Oval-shaped Face: If you have an oval-shaped face, congratulations, you are lucky since every glass makes you look stunning. However, you can handpick aviator glasses and cat eyeglasses, thus turning heads. 

Rectangle-shaped Face: Explore our oversized glasses, cat-eye glasses and aviators without having any second thoughts. The collection will make you drool.  

Diamond-shaped Face: You can add round glasses and square frames to the cart- these beauties are crafted to make you stand out. 

Heart-shaped Face: Don square glasses, aviator glasses and round glasses- other’s hearts are bound to skip a beat.

 

If you are wondering how to measure your face shape, we have a comprehensive face shape guide for you. 

To make the best choice, it is always recommended to order our glasses home trial. We send 4 frames, 3 lenses and 1 blue UV light right at your doorstep. You can experiment with the frames for 7 days at a stretch and invest in the one that blows your mind. Shipping is free both ways. 

Determine the Right Tint

Last but not least, you need to determine the tint that you are looking for (they are optional, of course): 

Pink: Grab your glasses with pink tints and say ‘nay’ to unwanted glare. If you deal with light sensitivity, this tint option will act as a pure boon. 

Red: Red tints boost your skiing and racing experience. Delay no more, take a step toward fearless fashion. 

Green: Glasses with green tints are best for sports like baseball, tennis and golf. Pump up the sportsperson in you and gear up already. 

Yellow: With yellow tints, you can now drive your car in fog and make the most out of it during nighttime adventures. 

Purple: Purple tints are solely responsible for improving your outdoor events. We have the ever-stylish pieces in store, just for you. 

Blue: Blue tints and water sports go hand-in-hand. Incorporate these pairs in your existing glasses collection now. 

Grey: Have a keen interest in running, driving, cycling and golf? Fret not- get your hands on glasses with grey tint and seize the day with ease. 

Orange: Orange tints enhance depth perception and contrast seamlessly. Make sure to carry them in hazy, overcast and foggy conditions. 

Brown: Brown tints are suitable for a lot of activities such as fishing, baseball, golf, hunting, cycling and water sports. 

For more details on the tints, you can read our blog ‘Best Lens Colour for Sunglasses.’

These handful of factors are enough to guide you through the buying process. The autumn months are almost here- when are you planning to shop with us?

What To Expect At Flip Out Liverpool

No comments

As we can't always rely on the weather we always try to head to an indoor play area when it's raining as little J always has energy to burn. We find a few hours is just enough to let him run, bounce, play and explore. He definitely has his favourite indoor play areas however he is always keen to try new play areas that pop up. We are already a fan of Flip Out Aintree so was looking forward to visiting its new indoor play area Flip Out Liverpool.

Walk Amongst The Monkeys At Monkey Forest, Trentham

Walk Amongst The Monkeys At Monkey Forest, Trentham

No comments

Even though we live in the North West we seem to spend a lot of time round the Midlands and the South. We love traveling and exploring new cities and attractions. This Summer we spent a lot of time in Stoke and Stafford area visiting Alton Towers, Trentham Gardens and the Monkey Forest. We had heard great reviews and it's somewhere we have planned to visit over the years but never got round to it. I'm so glad we managed to fit it in this Summer as it's a great family day out. 

What To Expect at Monkey Forest, Trentham Estate, Stone Rd, Tittensor, Stoke-on-Trent ST12 9HR

The forest boasts that it is the only place in the whole of the UK where you can walk amongst 140 Barbary Macaque monkeys. The monkeys live in large groups and we saw this on our visit. They have their own tress and areas and don't seem to cross over to other areas. Within some of the areas there is up to 6 generations co-existing and we were able to see some baby monkeys on our visit.

Can You Really Walk Amongst The Monkeys?

Yes! I was a little sceptical thinking that you really wouldn't be amongst the monkeys but yes you are. Visitors are free to walk amongst the monkeys on the 3/4 of a mile path through the woodlands whilst the monkeys roam free. You are not allowed to touch or feed the monkeys and we found the monkeys did not come that close to us anyway to be within reach. 

How Long Does It Take To Walk Around?

The walk took us just under 1 hour and that included watching the monkey feed talk (which I would highly recommend)  and stopping along the way to see the monkeys up close and taking pictures. However you are free to spend as much time as you like within the monkey area and also re-enter as many times as you like during your visit. There are interactive knowledge boards along the woodland path with lots of information and questions about monkeys and staff on hand to answer any questions.

What Else Can We Do?

The Monkey area is just one section of the Monkey Forest. We enjoyed spending time outside of the monkey area too.

Play Areas

There are different play areas. Each play area had its own unique equipment including monkey bars, basket swings, climbing frames and slides. 

We spent a lot of time in the play area. There was a woodland area which was great for climbing and swinging. It also had picnic benches to sit at whilst the boys played. 

The Banana Cafe

The Banana Cafe serves a selection of both warm and cold meals and snacks for when you’re feeling a bit peckish. Relax on the terrace with an ice cream or cup of coffee. There is plenty of seating available in and around the Banana Cafe with tables and chairs and there is also lots of grass space. There is a menu online and prices where what you would expect from this type of attraction. 

We picked some cakes and a hot drink which were delicious. 

The Jungle Shop

The Jungle Shop is packed full with monkey memorabilia. We headed straight to monkey themed stationary where we picked up a pencil, rubber and pencil sharpener. 

Willow Maze

Designed in the shape of a Barbary Monkey the Willow Maze will keep you and your family entertained as you enter through the mouth and leave through the bum! 

This was lots of fun and you can easily see the end from the beginning however we enjoyed it. You can also see through so no chance of getting stuck. 

Can You Take Your Own Food?

Yes you can take your own food however you cannot take it in the monkey enclosure. There are plenty of spots to enjoy a picnic and it is recommended to either leave your picnic in the car until after you have seen the monkeys or eat it beforehand. 

We didn't have to pop back the car but if you do you just let the staff know at the entrance and they will stamp your hand which let's them know you are just popping the car. 

How Much Is Car Parking?

Car parking is free and there are plenty of spaces with an overflow car park too. There are disabled bays available too closer to the entrance.

How Accessible Is The Monkey Enclosure?

The 3/4 mile path is suitable for wheelchairs and mobilty scooters however there was a small section that had a very steep slope. We saw a wheelchair struggle on this part of the walk, however there was not much to see here anyway. 

The path isn't one way however people did tend to walk the same way but it wouldn't be a problem if you have a wheelchair or mobility scooter if you needed to turn around. There are wide paths, 

What Are The Opening Times and Prices?

Opening times vary depending on the time of year however it is usually closed from around the beginning of November until February half term.

Ticket prices are cheaper if you buy in advance with adults priced at £10 and children priced at £8. Concessions and over 65's can enter at a reduced rate of £9.50. Carers and under 2's go free. 

You can check out the full opening times calendar and price guide visiting Monkey Forest.

What Else Is Local?

There are quite a few local attractions that you could visit on the same day.

Trentham Gardens

Adjacent to the Monkey Forest, Trentham Gardens offers a stunning landscape with beautiful flower displays, lakes, and gardens. Take a leisurely stroll and soak in the tranquility of this picturesque setting.

Trentham Estate

The Trentham Estate boasts a variety of attractions, including a shopping village, outdoor adventure playground, and a lakeside walk. It's the perfect destination for a day of exploration and relaxation.

We loved our day and I can see us heading back there next year as it was a nice relaxed day out. We loved seeing the Monkeys and little J enjoyed the play area too.
