Vinyl flooring: why this trend may be for you
When introduced to the US market so long ago, vinyl flooring was highly praised for its durability, affordability, easy-care, ultra water-resistance, and uncomplicated installation. Over the years, vinyl flooring's style has evolved with images of wood and stone, vibrant colors, and brilliant patterns. This flooring is so stylish that it works just as well in the living room.
Just like it sounds, this is one big sheet, usually six or 12 -feet wide, with four thin layers bonded to create one entity. Sheet vinyl flooring is made of waterproof PVC, making it ideal for leak-prone areas like the kitchen, bath, laundry room, or basement, where it often exceeds expectations because the large sheets are without seams where water can seep. It is, however, stylish enough for any other room in the house.

It’s all about the realism
Modern technology like embossing and printing has enabled vinyl flooring manufacturers to develop authentic wood looks that echo texture trends, such as wire-brushed, hand scraped, weathered, and distressed. Micro beveling, a process that slightly angles the corners, adds definition for an even more true-to-life look. You can expect to see even more innovations in the future.
It's low maintenance, requiring only a regular sweeping and periodic mopping with a manufacturer-approved cleaner. Avoid wax, shine-promoting substances as they can damage the finish and dull the floor. It can either be glued down or installed with the loose lay method where the sheets hover over the subfloor without glue.
