Here are some guidelines to consider if you’re thinking of adding this versatile flooring to your home.

 

What Are The Different Types of Vinyl Flooring?

 

Vinyl flooring is available in planks, tiles, and sheets. Vinyl plank and tile offer similar construction and abilities: the difference is primarily aesthetic. For the most realistic hardwood designs, consider vinyl plank. If it's authentic tile or stone designs you love, vinyl tile is your best bet. Here’s a closer look at the different styles of vinyl flooring and their benefits.

 

 

Is Luxury Vinyl Flooring Waterproof?

 

All vinyl floors feature moisture resistance on the surface with a water-resistant wear layer.  Only select options, however, are 100% waterproof. Waterproof vinyl looks like other vinyl products but has a couple of added features to manage extreme splashes. These incredible tiles and planks are equipped with a reinforced cork backing and absorbent core. Spills are subsequently trapped on the floor's surface, stopping stains and damage in their tracks.

 

How Does Vinyl Flooring Stay Waterproof?

 

Waterproof flooring stops moisture right at the surface with a watertight seal. If moisture makes it past the surface, the core of the planks or tiles will allow the moisture to evaporate and stop it from reaching your subfloors. Unlike hardwood flooring or any other type, waterproof vinyl floors won’t buckle, crack, or warp due to moisture exposure.

 

Which Vinyl Material Is 100% Waterproof?

 

WPC, or wood plastic composite flooring, is 100% waterproof. Because of this, WPC is perfect for harder-to-floor spots – like your finished basement, laundry room, or bathroom. It’s resilient enough for commercial use, too. With its realistic, hardwood-inspired planks and tiles, WPC can be used to compose very realistic styles.

Are You Prepared for Your Vinyl Floor Installation?

 

You’ve settled on the perfect vinyl product and are excited to see it in your living room. We can fully relate to this- but we also urge you to take a deep breath and look at the bigger picture. Before deciding on an installation date, make sure you have the proper foundation.
Remove all traces of the old flooring, then give your subfloor a very thorough scrub-down.
Whether your subfloor is wooden or concrete, make sure it has fully dried before moving forward. Even tiny, uneven spots or cracks can be inhospitable to your new flooring, so evening out your subfloor is always time well spent. Have questions concerning vinyl and our installation process?
