What is Vinyl Flooring?
Vinyl flooring is sheet flooring that comes in single rolls that are 6-12 feet wide. The width limits the number of seams on the final installation.
Vinyl is completely water resistant and is very similar to linoleum.
Further, vinyl sheets can be made to look like wood, stone, slate, or other unique patterns.
The Benefits of Vinyl Flooring
Here are a few of the biggest benefits of installing vinyl flooring in your home.
Budget Friendly
Vinyl can mimic other floor types but it comes with a much lesser price tag.
Not Permanent
If you want the vinyl gone, it can be removed easily without completely redoing the floors.
Water Resistant
Vinyl is impermeable to water, meaning a puddle will not damage your floors.
Top Durability
When it comes to standing up to stress, strain, and wear, there is little better than vinyl.
Easily Cleaned
Since vinyl is water resistant, it is easily cleaned. Regular cleanings will keep vinyl healthy for years to come.
Many Varieties
Vinyl is available in a wide variety of different styles and mimics many flooring types.
Misconceptions About Vinyl Floor
Even though vinyl floor offers so many options, there are still numerous misconceptions floating around.
Let’s get the facts straight about vinyl flooring.
- Myth: vinyl is dated
This is one of the most common misconceptions. While it is true that vinyl flooring was popular in the 70s, it has come a long way since!
Today vinyl is made from high-quality materials and can mimic the look of some of the most luxurious materials.
- Myth: vinyl is cheap or flimsy
Not all vinyl is created equal, however, there are dozens of reliable, sturdy, and durable vinyl options available to consumers today.
- Myth: the designs will fade away
Many homeowners think that the patterns on vinyl flooring will eventually be walked off and that the vivid designs will fade with time.
This is not true. Today, vinyl flooring is made with a protective top coat, to help keep printed images or designs intact.
