If you are planning to put new flooring in your home, you should consider vinyl flooring. Below is information on the different types of vinyl you can choose. There are also many benefits of choosing vinyl. This should help you make the decision so you can get your new flooring installed by a professional.
Sheet Vinyl
If you are on a budget, sheet vinyl is a good option for you. This type of vinyl is waterproof, so it will work well in a kitchen, bathroom, and more. Sheet vinyl is also easy to install as it comes in large sheets that are cut to fit the room. You do need to have a professional install vinyl sheet flooring to ensure there are no seams when finished.
Sheet vinyl comes in a variety of colors, textures, and designs. You can choose vinyl that mimics other materials, such as stone or wood, without having to pay the high price of these flooring options. Sheet vinyl is softer than other types, so it is more scratch-resistant. This is beneficial if you have pets in your home that can easily scratch flooring with their nails. Sheet vinyl is easy to clean and only requires a mop and some soap, or you can clean the flooring by hand. Sweep it daily to remove dust and dirt to help keep the vinyl looking great.
Luxury Vinyl Tile
Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is another option but is more expensive when compared to sheet vinyl. As with sheet vinyl, you can choose LVT that mimics ceramic, porcelain, stone, or wood. LVT vinyl is much thicker than other types, which makes this type more durable. You can choose to glue the flooring down or have a floating installation. A flooring specialist will know the best option for you.
LVT can be installed on existing flooring, so you won't have to worry about ripping out old flooring before installing it. This will save time and money. There is no grout in LVT vinyl, so you will not have to worry about cleaning and maintaining grout. As with sheet vinyl, you only need to mop the flooring and sweep it regularly. You can clean it with warm water or use a floor cleaner if the flooring is very dirty.
