Vinyl floors are made of synthetic material and are highly recommended for durability and functionality. They have become one of the most popular options due to the way they combat moisture and how versatile they can be to mimic many materials. You can replicate wood, marble, stone, and luxury flooring options.

This type of flooring has several layers, forming a protective barrier against moisture when joined together. It is a very durable and relatively inexpensive material.

But the question is, Is this kind of flooring suitable for you? Before buying vinyl flooring, there are some essential things to consider.

 

What Is Vinyl Flooring?

Constructed of synthetic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, this flooring has a photorealistic visual layer and a surface layer designed to mimic various types of flooring.

This floor is a highly durable, versatile material resistant to moisture and heavy foot traffic.

 

Ease Of Installation

Vinyl flooring is easier to install than other types of flooring. An example of this is floating vinyl. It does not require glue or staples. Vinyl flooring can be installed over concrete, plywood, or hardwood floors. It can still be installed over existing vinyl. However, it is not highly recommended when you have 2-3 existing layers.

 

Stain Resistant

Some tiles have a wear layer that helps keep spills and stains from sticking. This protection can be evidenced in mosaics and printed laminates. However, composite vinyl tiles do not provide this surface protection. The latter type of vinyl is more sensitive to stains. Therefore, it needs occasional stripping or polishing to keep it looking new.

 

Thickness

Some tiles and sheets have a cushioning layer. That’s why when you walk on the vinyl, it feels comfortable and soft under your feet. These floors are very resistant, so they also have a layer of elasticity when you walk on them. Recommended

This type is excellent for kitchens, family rooms, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms.

 

Maintenance

In this regard, this kind of flooring shines. Maintenance is straightforward. It would help if you swept your floor to remove dirt and dust, then damp mop it. Next, use a suitable vinyl floor cleaner to keep your foot looking great. Some floors have a no-wax finish that will look so shiny after cleaning they’ll look like new.
