What Type of Vinyl Flooring Should I Choose?

 

Vinyl is the fastest growing flooring category on the market, from traditional sheet vinyl to vinyl planks and tiles, there is a vinyl floor that is right for your project. Vinyl planks and tiles use advanced digital printing technology and registered embossing to render realistic depictions of hardwood, tile, and stone.

 

• Vinyl plank looks and feels like real wood but has a synthetic construction. It manages foot traffic and moisture better than wood or laminate. Vinyl plank floors have unique inner layers that provide exceptional dimensional stability to the individual planks. They won’t usually expand, contract, crack, or collapse in any way.

 

• Vinyl tiles look like the tile that you know and love. With low-maintenance, durability, and easy installation, vinyl tiles are a top choice for busy homes. As far as size, vinyl tiles are usually in dimensions that mimic the look of stone, which makes them look even more realistic.

 

Is Vinyl Flooring Water-Resistant or Waterproof?

 

Most types of vinyl flooring are water-resistant: select products are waterproof.

 

• Waterproof vinyl won’t expand or contract with changes in humidity and temperature levels and does an excellent job of keeping liquid or spills on the surface of the floor, rather than letting them seep into the subfloor thanks to its watertight barrier.

 

• Water-resistant vinyl repels water to a degree but sitting water will eventually soak into the floor. This causes issues like warping, bubbling, and mold. In more extreme cases, it can even damage the subfloor and lead to long-term damage that’s hard to fix.

 

Enjoy commercial-grade waterproof vinyl flooring in various settings, including:

 

• Downtown Shops

 

• Offices

 

• Restaurants

 

• Cafes

 

• Apartments

 

• Rental Properties

 

Where Can In Install a Vinyl Floor?

 

Vinyl flooring can install throughout the home. Its popular in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, living rooms, and even entryways. It's perfect for families with active lifestyles, or those who have children and pets. Vinyl flooring features superior durability, so pet claws won't damage the surface. It’s also resistant to stains and dents.

 

Installation options include floating floor or glue-down. Waterproof vinyl is even more versatile and ideal for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens. It’s also great for rooms where puddles might develop but go unnoticed, such as entryways, basements, and laundry rooms.
