5 Benefits of Installing Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring has come a long way from its 70s reputation. It’s ideal for high-traffic areas like the kitchen and a way to play with textures, finishes, and colour in the bathroom. A way to reproduce more costly finishes, it’s affordable and easy to install. Here are more reasons to love vinyl flooring and how to make it your own:

Easy Installation Options

Glue down, peel and stick, or click and lock for fast and easy installation you can do yourself.

Durability

If installed and maintained well, vinyl flooring can last from 10 to 20 years, getting you a great return on your investment. Vinyl flooring has a comfortable feel underfoot, which is important in high traffic areas like your kitchen. The comfort of vinyl is also key in spaces where the floor gets colder during the winter months. Compared to porcelain or harder wood, vinyl has a wear layer and as a result, will resist scratches and stains. The low-maintenance factor of this flooring option is ideal for big households.

Moisture Resistance

Vinyl is water resistant and protects your floors from spills and surface water damage, adding to its durability and ability to withstand potential damage caused in busy kitchens and bathrooms.

Versatility

You can replicate the look whether it’s hardwood, stone, or porcelain tile without the cost and without sacrificing the damage of the real thing. Further, vinyl enables you to play more with patterns and finishes.
