VINYL
-
Vinyl is a decorator’s dream and also durable and affordable
-
Vinyl is the great imposter. It can look like wood, tile, even marble.
-
Vinyl is constructed in layers: the wear layer, the printed or decorative layer, an inner core consisting of a foam and vinyl layer, and a backing.
Thickness
Thick flooring is not necessarily what you’re looking for. You want a thick wear layer. That’s the top layer and the one that really counts. It’s the one that determines how well your flooring will stand up to traffic, as well as rips, tears and gouges. Talk to your retailer about what’s right for you.
Quality
Pick the right vinyl flooring for the space. Ask your retailer to review with you the manufacturer’s warranty and performance characteristics of the flooring you are interested in. You need to understand that premium products tend to have premium warranties. A good warranty is a great stress reliever.
Seams
Vinyl sheets are manufactured in 6’ and 12’ widths. Depending on the configuration of your room, seaming may be necessary. Make sure your retailer can explain to you where the seams are likely to be when your new floor is laid down. Certain floor patterns hide seams better. For example, tile patterns with grout lines mask seams beautifully.
In rooms with heavy water use, such as bathrooms and laundry rooms, you may need to occasionally replace the heavy caulking where the flooring meets the walls or toilet. You don’t want water seeping under your flooring.
