Reasons Why Vinyl Flooring Will Floor You

Flooring made of vinyl has made a comeback and for a good reason. It is no longer the dull and boring flooring of the yesteryears. They no longer bear the brownish square patterns from your grandmother’s kitchen or of the lifeless golden colour. Technology has improved and vinyl flooring has become much better. In fact, they do not conjure the images of the drab old floors any longer. They are now far from lifeless.

Wide range of colours and styles

New floors made of vinyl are extremely versatile and beautiful. In order to imprint the various designs on these floors, a process called rotogravure is used. Rotary presses with photoengraved plates are used in order to imprint just about any design on the vinyl. You can now emulate any design that is on the other types of flooring and imprint the same on vinyl. Also, there are multitudes of patterns, colours, and textures that you can choose from irrespective of your preferences and budget.

Easy to clean

Vinyl floors are easy to clean since they come in the “no wax” variety. In other words, you would not need to wax your floors in order to make them squeaky clean. All you would need to clean them is a damp mop. What’s more, the top layer will be resistant to scratching and staining, giving you value for your money. However, it is important to note that these floors will lose their sheen over a period of time. The good news is that you can recoat it after that with no wax material wherever the sheen has diminished. Make sure you use the coating recommended by the manufacturer though since there are many different formulations available in the market.

Wear resistant and long lasting

Most of the floors made of vinyl are durable and highly wear resistant. The special wear layer in this type of flooring would protect the floor from wear and tear. The thicker the wear layer, the longer the flooring will last. Enquire about the thickness of the wear layer with the manufacturer of the different floorings. Make sure you buy the more expensive type if you would like the wear layer to be a little thicker. Also, ensure that the underfoot is extremely comfortable to step on. In other words, it should have a comfortable cushion on top of it. Such floors can save you lots of money in the long run.
