Vinyl Flooring
Home SitemapFlooring Tips

Vinyl tile & plank flooring offers the look of ceramic tile, stone, hardwood or other contemporary designs at a fraction of the cost.

Vinyl tile floors offer easy installation, especially with "peel-and-stick" options that have a self-adhesive covered with a peel-off backing - perfect for the Do-It-Yourselfer! Vinyl tiles without the backing require an adhesive that is spread over the floor with a notched trowel, yet this job can be performed by a non-professional relatively easily.

Three Types of Vinyl Finishes....

  • No wax wear surface (Vinyl No-Wax) which requires frequent washing and polishing to keep it shiny.
  • Urethane – more resilient to scratching keeping its new appearance for a longer period.
  • Enhanced Urethane which is the most resistant and only needs the odd sweep and occasional wipe.

Advantages of Vinyl Flooring:

  • Match any decor with unlimited style and design options.
  • Easy to maintain, just mop.
  • Vinyl flooring is very durable even in high traffic areas.
  • Fits all budgets with wide range of prices. Least expensive of all flooring options
  • Moisture resistant - great for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Comfortable underfoot. Easy to stand on for long periods.
  • More than 80% of VCT raw material is Limestone, a clean, non-polluting and benign fiber.
  • Easily installed

Maintaining Your Vinyl Floors....

Vinyl flooring needs to be maintained to keep it in its mint good-looking condition. This involves it being swept/vacuumed on a regular basis with regular washing with a floor cleaner that does not require rinsing. Avoid abrasive cleaners and use a little liquid polish to give it its shine back. If you are going to use mats, use ones that are made of natural fibers. Mats that have rubber underside can sometimes stain the vinyl floor tiles.
