Vinyl flooring is made of vinyl, or poly vinyl chloride (PVC), the same material that is used to make everything from medical tubing to cable insulation. It is resistant to breakdown and wear, but is flexible. This makes vinyl a durable flooring material that is easy to install.
There are many benefits to this economical and versatile flooring:
Adding new vinyl to a room is a fast and economical way to improve the look of a room. It can also be a central element in redecorating a room. Vinyl flooring does not have the elegance of hardwood, tile, or a high quality carpet, so you don't usually see vinyl in living rooms. It does not have the comfort of carpet or hardwood combined with area rugs, so you also don't tend to see vinyl flooring in bedrooms. However, vinyl is a real performer in the rooms where it often appears: kitchens, bathrooms, rec rooms, and entry ways.
Improvements continue to be made in the design and manufacture of vinyl. The range of available styles and colors continue to expand. Recently, more vinyl has been made to look like wood, tile, bamboo, and stone. New texturing methods in the manufacturing process add to the realistic look. Improvements in the manufacture of the wearlayer have made vinyl flooring more durable and resistant to scratching. Go vinyl!
