Vinyl flooring is available in planks, tiles, and sheets. Vinyl plank and tile offer up 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.
We think you’ll agree there’s a whole lot to love about wood-look vinyl plank.
Vinyl tiles are a great alternative to natural stone and tile flooring. The bulk of our vinyl tiles are made to withstand commercial conditions like heavy foot traffic and rolling traffic, so you know you are purchasing a floor made to last.
Sheet vinyl is manufactured using one of three methods including Inlaid which involves melting colored vinyl granules into a patterned design that maintains its color entirely through to the backing. Inlaid tile provides a thick, durable floor suitable for high-traffic areas.
All vinyl floors feature moisture resistance on the surface with a water-resistant wear layer. Only select options, however, are 100% 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 stops 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.
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.
One of the reasons why vinyl flooring is so popular is its incredibly eclectic nature. There are thousands of styles to choose from: including those available in waterproof form. Vinyl plank and tile can go on your walls as well as in the kitchen and bathroom. The only limits of vinyl flooring are within your imagination!
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.
