SHEET VINYL:
SEAMLESS & CLASSIC
Modern sheet vinyl flooring combines aesthetics with affordability. Thanks to recent advancements in the product’s construction, it’s now more resistant to stains, scratches, moisture, and fading. Its flexibility ensures a comfortable and quiet experience underfoot. Available in 12’ widths, sheet vinyl offers a virtually seamless installation, making it an ideal choice for expansive spaces.
VINYL TILE & PLANK:
AFFORDABLE VERSATILITY
Often referred to as LVT (luxury vinyl tile) and LVP (luxury vinyl plank), these options are available in click-lock floating and glue-down variants; they offer a array of colors and styles. The individual tile and plank design allows for imaginative layouts, such as the diagonal checkerboard pattern. The click-lock floating vinyl can be conveniently installed over certain existing flooring and subfloors, making room transformations swift and hassle-free.
LAMINATES: THE REVOLUTIONIZED CLASSIC
Laminates have made a triumphant return, now better equipped to handle the challenges of modern living spaces. Renowned for their scratch resistance, durability, and stability, laminates have evolved to combat moisture effectively. The introduction of a moisture-proof seal between seams ensures zero liquid penetration from the top.
While they predominantly offer wood aesthetics, tile designs are on the horizon. Advanced HD photography and specialized embossing techniques are employed to mimic the appearance and texture of natural materials. However, laminates stand out with their easy-to-clean nature and heightened resistance to everyday wear and tear.
Unlike wood, they resist scratches, stains, and moisture, ensuring longevity. Plus, with the click-lock floating floor design, laminates can be installed over most existing floors (excluding carpet) without needing nails or glue.
Discover the Difference: Laminates vs. Vinyl
While both laminate and vinyl offer stunning designs and durability, they cater to different needs, and understanding their unique strengths can help you make an informed decision! Vinyl, known for its moisture resistance, is perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. Laminates, with their superior scratch resistance, are ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms.
Caring For Your Vinyl & Laminate Floors
Your vinyl and laminate floors are a breeze to take care of, and with a little love they’ll look great for years to come. Here’s some helpful tips…
Sweep It Up
Grab a soft-bristle broom or set your vacuum to hard surface mode to catch that dust.
Spill? No Panic
Wipe up spills with a damp cloth right away to avoid any sticky situations.
Gentle Cleaning
For a deeper clean, use a mild cleaner. No harsh chemicals as they can dull your floor’s surface.
Shoe-Free Zone
Treat your floors to a break by leaving high heels and sports cleats at the door.
Furniture Fashion
Slip some protective pads under furniture legs to keep your floors scratch-free and fabulous.
Stick to these tips, and your floors will stay as lively and lovely as the day they came into your home!
