Vinyl Flooring.

Vinyl flooring is seeing a resurgence in popularity. Technological advances over the last couple of decades has meant that vinyl flooring is not only increasing in quality, it's also expanding its range of style and designs.

​

If you're looking for a high-end look, without the price tag, then vinyl flooring is a great choice. Here's some of our top reasons for choosing vinyl floor. 

​

1. Durable & Low Maintenance

​

Vinyl is considered to be one of the most durable and hardwearing flooring options on the market. When properly fitted and looked after, it can last up to 20 years and still look great! Vinyl floors have the ability to expand and contract, so they're great for spaces with high traffic. Unlike real wood flooring, you won't need to sand or oil a vinyl floor, simple steps like sweeping and mopping are all it takes to keep your floor looking in top condition. 

​

2. Affordable.

​

Like all flooring, prices can vary when purchasing a vinyl floor, but when comparing to other flooring options it's important to remember that vinyl will offer good value for money over it's lifetime. Sheet vinyl is generally the most affordable choice, however you'll get a wider range of options when looking at plank vinyl tiles. 

​

3. Moisture Resistant.

​

In recent years, there has been an increase in popularity for wood flooring in spaces that are prone to water damage - such as kitchens and bathrooms. Nothing will ruin the look of a hardwood floor quicker than water however, so vinyl flooring offers a great alternative as it's 100% waterproof. The PVC backing of vinyl floor makes the surface impervious to spills and moisture so it's great for kitchens and bathrooms. 

​

4. Style & choice.

​

There's a wide variety of options available when it comes to choosing vinyl floor. You can select from a vast array of colours, materials and patterns so you can get the look of tiles, stone or wood, whilst enjoying al the benefits of vinyl. Recent technological advances ensure natural looking textures that offer plenty of visual depth, making them appear as good as the real thing. 

​

5. Comfort.

​

Vinyl tends not to get cold in the same way natural materials do, so if your home has any areas that may get cold, then it's a good choice of flooring to go for. Underfloor heating can also be installed under most vinyl flooring too - keeping it nice and warm all year round. There's also some give in vinyl due to the way it's manufactured, therefore it's more comfortable when you're standing for a long period of time, and potentially more forgiving if you drop anything on it.
