What Type of Vinyl Flooring is Best?

Vinyl flooring comes in sheet, plank, or tile form.

• Vinyl planks come in a variety of widths and differing lengths to promote realism, and a large assortment of gorgeous designs and shades. Tough, high-performance wear layers prevent scuffs and dents. Vinyl plank flooring is also easy to clean, hypoallergenic, and comes in water-resistant and waterproof choices. Its core layer provides additional warmth and cushioning underfoot, making it more comfortable to stand on than other flooring types. Vinyl planks are easy to install as a floating floor that’s available to walk on the same day.

• Vinyl sheet flooring is durable and easily installed, making it a practical and economical alternative to hardwood. Often identical in appearance–and sometimes even texture-to wood and other natural materials, today’s sheet vinyl has come a long way since your grandparents’ days. It’s an excellent choice for all those high-traffic areas in your home or business. Rambunctious children, energetic pets, and dancing feet are no match for this sturdy floor, made to withstand water, moisture, and humidity.

• Vinyl tile offers key advantages over natural tile and stone. Each vinyl tile has a durable wear layer and robust construction that’s scratch, stain, and abrasion resistant. Vinyl tile is softer underfoot and less likely to crack or chip. We offer both moisture-resistant and completely waterproof vinyl floor tiles, which fares fine with humidity, moisture, spills, and more. Like any product with a wide variety of designs and styles, vinyl tile flooring prices vary. You can expect to pay less than you would for ceramic tile.

Is Vinyl Flooring Really Waterproof?

All vinyl flooring will withstand regular moisture and humidity. Certain products take these efforts even further. Our 100% waterproof vinyl flooring calls on hidden features to put your worries to rest. With its watertight core and a resilient cork backing, waterproof vinyl effectively traps spills on its surface, where you can wipe them up entirely with a clean towel.

Where Can I Install a Vinyl Floor?

Vinyl flooring goes in a wide range of interior settings. There are commercial-grade products to tackle more hectic spaces, as well as waterproof options to beautify your bathroom. Our onsite flooring experts can help you find the best vinyl flooring to accentuate your style and fulfill functional necessities. Popular sites for vinyl floors include:

How Is Vinyl Flooring Installed?

There are several ways to install vinyl flooring. Traditional vinyl options, including sheet vinyl flooring, can be glued to the subfloor with a permanent adhesive. We recommend choosing glue-down installation in high traffic areas like offices.

Certain vinyl floors can be installed without adhesives. The vinyl planks and tiles can be clicked and locked together, so they seem to float over the subfloor. Typically, floating, click, and lock vinyl floors can be installed in home settings where there isn't significant foot traffic.
