Sometimes when we think of vinyl flooring we get an image of our grandma’s kitchen where a huge sheet of discolored vinyl was slowly coming loose at the edges. Vinyl flooring has come a long way since the linoleum days. Today, vinyl flooring is both trendy, beautiful, versatile, and waterproof.
Waterproof vinyl flooring
Although nothing beats the beauty of real hardwood floors, there are some rooms that are better served with waterproof vinyl flooring. The flooring industry has made huge innovations to vinyl flooring. Waterproof vinyl flooring isn’t just practical, it’s also beautiful and cost-effective.
When to use vinyl flooring
Any room that has a high exposure to moisture is a perfect candidate for waterproof vinyl flooring. The rooms where we most often install vinyl flooring are kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. Although hardwood flooring can work in any room, there is a higher chance of moisture damage in these rooms. Vinyl is a super chic waterproof alternative to real wood.
Vinyl flooring is versatile
You can get vinyl flooring that will perfectly complement any style and any home. With an incredible range of colors, textures, and “real wood” appearance you can match your hardwood floors in style, color, texture, width, and length. Vinyl planks are made to look just like hardwood flooring, but with the strength and moisture resistance that you expect from vinyl.
Vinyl is cost-effective
Real wood is expensive. It’s also durable and can be refinished. However, in rooms where there is a high chance of moisture damage, vinyl is a cost-effective alternative to real wood. You also won’t have to spend money on getting your wood floors refinished to repair water damage. Did we mention that vinyl floors are waterproof?
