What Types of Vinyl Flooring Are There?

Vinyl flooring comes in both plank, tile, and sheet forms. The significant distinctions are visual:

• Vinyl plank flooring is a durable hardwood alternative with a layered construction. The top layer resists scratches and scuffs, with support layers for strength and stability. Vinyl plank flooring is stronger, more stable, and more resilient than hardwood and even laminate. A design layer with a high-definition wood visual provides vinyl plank with its authentic looks.

• Vinyl tile is an innovative way to show off natural looks you love but remain practical. These vinyl flooring options look like ceramic tile or stone flooring. Vinyl tile is waterproof, low-maintenance and more affordable.

• Sheet vinyl, also called feltback, installs in one whole piece. This means there are no seams in the flooring and moisture and dust cannot penetrate through. Sheet vinyl is simple and easy. Glassback vinyl is a newer option that uses a fiberglass backing instead of traditional felt backing. Because of the backing, it’s more flexible and resists stains and scratches.

Is My Vinyl Floor Moisture Resistant or Waterproof?

All vinyl flooring products resist regular moisture and wear, but not all options are the same. Although water-resistant vinyl floors can withstand spills, splashes, humidity, and more, if puddles sit long enough, they can eventually soak into the vinyl. Waterproof vinyl boasts a unique set of hidden features to combat the most extreme accidents. These planks and tiles have a reinforced cork backing and absorbent core. Severe spills from pets and children are trapped on your floor’s surface, where they’re prevented from causing stains and other damages.

Waterproof vinyl floors are ideal for spaces like:

• Bathrooms

• Businesses

• Kitchens

• Entryways

• Living Rooms

• Bedrooms

• Downtown Shops

• Cafes

• Restaurants

• Rental Properties

Plan Your Vinyl Flooring Installation

Vinyl flooring can be creatively customized to adorn your floors, as well as your walls. Waterproof vinyl is your best bet for projects in the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room. Planks and tiles are installed piece-by-piece, just like traditional tile or hardwood. Vinyl tiles can install with grout for added realism, and vinyl planks come in varying widths and lengths for the same purpose
