Why Choose Vinyl Flooring for your Home
- This style of flooring is highly durable and will stand up very well to daily wear. Several manufacturers offer warranties for their products for at least 15 years and it’s not uncommon for a vinyl floor to last for 20 years if it is well maintained.
- Vinyl flooring designs are available in a number of looks, including ones that resemble wooden plank flooring or stone tiles. From a distance, it is very difficult to tell that the floor is a vinyl product.
- Unlike a wood or tile floor, vinyl has a softer surface. It has a later of foam or felt on the back which gives it a bit more “give”and flexibility. If you are looking for a flooring option that will be easy to stand on for long periods of time, vinyl is the right choice.
- A new vinyl floor can be installed directly over a subfloor or an existing vinyl or linoleum floor.
- Vinyl floors are easy to keep clean. They are low maintenance, and only require being swept regularly and mopped with a mild detergent and water to be kept clean. You can use a disinfecting cleaner on the floor without causing damage to it, which makes it a hygienic choice if you have small children who will be crawling or playing on it.
- If you are looking for an economical home flooring choice, vinyl is less expensive to purchase and install than a number of other options. For these reasons, vinyl has come back into style with homeowners.
