In the realm of flooring, vinyl has always been considered to be one of the most resilient, flexible and and economical option in the market. Homeowners can save as much as 70% of material costs should they choose vinyl flooring. In addition to its affordability, vinyl comes in different styles and of different makes which makes it a suitable option even in areas where it tends to be slippery. Whether you are looking for cheap or luxury vinyl flooring, you have to have at least a bit of knowledge about vinyl type flooring. Here are some things you should know first before buying your vinyl: Types of Flooring There are three types of vinyl flooring – Tile, Sheet or Plank: Tile vinyl is made with exact dimensions, most common of which are of 12 or 18 square inches. This type of flooring, because of the advantages technology has brought, doesn’t look like cheap vinyl flooring. In fact they can mimic the design of the expensive flooring such as marble and ceramic tiles. They are also easy to install and are easy to replace. Sheet vinyl comes in rolls. This type of vinyl flooring is the best choice for high-moisture parts of your house such as in the kitchen and bathrooms. Just as with tile vinyl flooring, it doesn’t look like cheap vinyl flooring and it may be installed with much ease. Many would guise this luxury vinyl flooring as wood planks because it really looks like hardwood. It usually has 6x3 dimensions and are easy to install. Colors and Patterns The colors and patterns found on your vinyl type flooring are embedded in two ways: Inlaid – If you want flooring that is rich in color, this type of vinyl applies color granules on the sheet to give out a rich output. Printed – a printed vinyl has a little resemblance as with a magazine page where colored ink is used to imprint on the sheets. Vinyl type flooring Doesn’t Require High Maintenance Cost Cleaning your vinyl is really easy. Spills are easily removed by simply wiping it with a damp cloth. No need for harsh chemicals or cleaning agents. Installation is Easy and Doesn’t Require Much Preparation Aside from its self-adhesive character, vinyl may be installed over any underlayment regardless of its make just as long the surface has been smoothened out and kept from any granules or anything that could possibly ruin its texture.
