Do You Have A Flooring Project We Can Help With?
Vinyl
Vinyl is still a mainstay of floor covering material. Its easy-to-clean surface and wide range of available colors and patterns make it a versatile, economical and low-maintenance choice. There are lots of vinyl choices that incorporate new technologies in texturing and durability for a more modern and realistic look.
Pros
- Affordable
- Resilient – provides “give” and cushion underfoot
- Easy to maintain
- Wide range of colors/patterns available including new textures
- Good sound absorbing qualities
- Can be laid without seams depending on the size and shape of the room
Cons
- Not as eco-friendly or made with sustainable materials as other choices
- Susceptible to cuts and tears (i.e. such as when moving/dragging heavy objects over it such as refrigerators)
- Not a renewable surface like wood
- Not heat tolerant and can scorch or burn
- Seamed/tiled vinyl offers paths for spilled liquids to get to the backing and subfloor
- Susceptible to permanent dents from table and furniture legs and even pointed-heeled shoes
- Edges and seams may be visible and interrupt the decorative pattern depending on the quality of installation
