Building Materials (295 Results)

Let’s nail this with building materials

Think of your next construction project as an adventure in style and functionality. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or a seasoned builder, the right materials can transform any space from blah to brilliant. So, let's hammer down the details and build a space that’s as fun as it is functional.

From the ground up: a flooring that floors you

Start where every good home project begins: the flooring. If your floors could talk, they’d probably ask for a little more attention. Give them what they deserve with our selection of hardwood, tile and carpet options. Whether you're into the timeless charm of hardwood or the comfort of a plush carpet, our flooring solutions have you covered. For the adventurers, mix and match tiles to create a custom mosaic that’s sure to impress.

Not just a pretty surface, our floors are built to withstand the hustle and bustle of daily life. Spill something? No sweat — most materials are as easy to clean as they are on the eyes. Plus, with DIY-friendly options, you can have that new floor laid down before you even know it.

Open doors to style: doors and whistles

Doors are both a first impression and a part of the daily backdrop. Why settle for boring when you can have doors that truly reflect your home’s character? From sturdy, weather-resistant front doors to elegant interior panels, our selection is here to open up possibilities.

And let’s talk door hardware. It’s the little details that count, like chic handles and knobs, that add the ideal finishing touch to your doors. They're not just functional; they're mini statements of style. Choose from vintage designs, modern twists or something unique to spice up your portals.

Raise the roof (and walls): panels and shingles that shine

Your home’s exterior is its armour against the elements, so why not armour up in style? Our roofing materials are designed to protect and dazzle, with options that range from classic to modern.

Inside, turn any wall into a feature with our range of wall panelling. Go rustic with wood planks and modern with sleek fabric finishes. And for that secret touch? Install a hatch that hides storage or a sneaky getaway spot; because who doesn’t love a bit of mystery in their home?

Step up your game: staircases

No, we haven’t forgotten about the staircases. They’re more than just a way to get from floor A to floor B; they’re potential masterpieces in your home’s design. Whether you're looking for the grandeur of sweeping wooden stairs or the industrial chic of metal and floating steps, our range supports every step you take. Add some decorative moulding along the sides for a polished look, or mix materials for a unique staircase.

Considerations for choosing and using building materials

When working with building materials, there’s some factors to keep in mind to ensure the success of your exciting projects.

Compatibility

Ensuring that new materials work well with existing components of a building is essential. This includes physical as well as aesthetic compatibility, ensuring that additions or repairs seamlessly match the existing structure.

Local building codes and regulations

Compliance with local laws ensures that your construction is legal, safe and insurable. Building codes cover everything from structural integrity to fire safety and accessibility, so make sure to look into it.

Don’t forget the tools

Every great building project starts with the right set of tools. At vidaXL, we’ve got you covered, from the basics to specialised equipment. Whether you're a professional contractor or a DIY enthusiast, having the right tools at hand can make all the difference in executing your project efficiently and effectively. 

Safety gear

Proper safety gear is essential to prevent injuries during construction. This includes hard hats, safety goggles, gloves and protective footwear. Each type of work might require specific safety measures; for example, working with fibreglass insulation requires protective clothing and respirators to prevent skin irritation and inhalation of fibres.
