Budget and lifestyle are going to be the two main driving forces of
your flooring choice. If we had our choices, we would install beautiful
hardwood floors throughout our house and have someone else maintain
them, but since we live in the real world, we have to look at materials
that are more user-friendly. For spaces that get a lot of traffic, such
as kitchens and bathrooms, vinyl flooring is a great choice because of
the ease of maintenance, durability, resistance to water and longevity.
Vinyl flooring doesn't stain, fade or dent.
Vinyl or resilient flooring, as it is also called, is available in many patterns, textures and colors. You will be able to find a style and finish that appeal to you. The method used to imprint the pattern of the flooring in Northumberland can imitate many patterns such as wood grain, stone, marble and tile.
Vinyl flooring is available in many forms. Whether you are comfortable working with planks, tiles or even sheets, there is a vinyl flooring for you. By using the tiles or planks creatively, you can create patterns in the floor to show off your artistic side.
One of the big advantages of vinyl flooring over laminate is that vinyl flooring 'gives' and has a springiness to it. This means it can be installed over uneven floors and doesn't need a backing material to keep your feet from becoming tired.
Installing vinyl flooring is an easy do-it yourself project for most people. Now special tools or training is required and you can create a professional finish quickly and easily. The most difficult aspect of laying tiles or planks is keeping them straight. If you choose to use sheet vinyl, that isn't an issue.
· Sheet vinyl. Sheet vinyl comes in large rolls, usually 6 or 12 feet wide. This enables you to easily cover large rooms. There are two types of sheet vinyl, inlaid and rotogravure. Inlaid sheets have a pattern that goes completely through the material. Rotogravure sheets have a foam base that has the pattern printed on it and then covered with a wear layer. Rotogravure sheets are less expensive but will not stand up to the wear and tear like inlaid sheets will.
· Tile vinyl. Usually purchased in 12" squares with an adhesive backing, tile vinyl is easy to install and works well in smaller or odd-shaped rooms. When purchasing tile vinyl, make sure that you buy all of your material from a single dye lot to prevent dissimilar color patterns.
· Plank vinyl. Is similar to tiles, except that they are usually 4" x 24" planks instead of squares. They usually have a peel-and-stick backing which eases installation. Like tile, buy all of your planks from a single dye lot to keep the colors the same.
