What Types of Vinyl Flooring Are Best?

Shoppers can choose between a couple diverse types of vinyl flooring these days.

• Vinyl plank is a smart, stunning alternative to traditional hardwood flooring. Vinyl plank flooring can be installed anywhere in the home It’s water-resistant, scratch-resistant, and an ideal option for wood looks minus the maintenance. Offering the industry’s most realistic technologies, vinyl plank contributes top performance capabilities and enduring value. Those rambling kids, lively pets, and skipping feet are no match for this sturdy floor. While traditional hardwood has an uncertain future, at best, in more humid climates, vinyl planks won’t warp when they get wet, nor will they expand or contract.

 

• Vinyl tile is sturdy and resists wear and tear, just like traditional tile. It’s less likely to chip or crack over the years, thanks to its synthetic construction. Vinyl tile floors have a urethane-based wear layer that won’t scratch, scuff, or stain. They come with a cushioned underlayment that adds warmth, comfort, and noise absorption underfoot. This makes the floor easier to stand on for extended periods, particularly in kitchens, and better at dulling the noise of pet claws, footsteps, and more. You can also skip the messy, expensive installation with vinyl tile floors because they have a simple, click-lock or glue-down system. Grout can be added for a realistic touch but isn’t mandatory.

 

 

Is Vinyl Flooring Really Waterproof?

All vinyl flooring is water-resistant but select vinyl flooring options are completely waterproof. These products boast a different core material to ensure that no liquid seeps below the surface, or between seams. While waterproof floors are an excellent way to protect your home from damages, you should always pick up spills when they happen just to be safe.

Planning Your Vinyl Flooring Installation

It’s critical to make sure your vinyl floor is installed properly to ensure maximum performance. Depending on the type of vinyl you select, the installation process can be extremely simple- or more complicated.

 

Conducting a self-installation takes time and patience. Certain vinyl planks and tiles are made to easily click together, with no glue required, but other varieties can be more complicated if they require a bonding agent to stay firmly in place. Sheet vinyl flooring needs a level subfloor, additionally, because of its permanent adhesive process.

 

Sometimes it makes the most sense to call in the professionals. If installed incorrectly, your vinyl floor might age before its time, and damages won’t fall under your warranty. Unexpected repairs and replacements can cost you thousands of dollars. With decades of collective experience, our installation team has the knowledge and skills to make sure each project results in perfection- and you can enjoy your vinyl floor for years to come.
