An interesting article on why people should choose vinyl flooring on Rubber Flooring inc blog.
“When we think about vinyl flooring, we often have a mental picture of outdated and out of style bathroom flooring in older homes. The go-to low cost option for many decades, vinyl flooring was perceived as cheap and lacking beauty and range of options. Vinyl flooring developed a bad reputation, causing a wide array of deluxe flooring materials to hit the market. With more options available these past few decades, we have seen friends and family replace their old vinyl flooring with more “modern” and “trendy” flooring options. Recently reborn, vinyl flooring is making a comeback and is now one of those “modern” and “trendy” flooring options of the future. Technologically advanced, vinyl flooring should be known for the amazing and versatile flooring that it truly is, the flooring of the future.”
An inexpensive way to improve the look of your home or commercial property is to install a vinyl floor also known as sheet vinyl. Vinyl is often glued down but there are non glued types of sheet vinyl. The benefits of vinyl is the durability and its ability to repel water. The ideal locations for installing vinyl is in bath rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, mud rooms and foyers. When you install in the bathroom make sure to use a silicone based caulk around tubs and toilets to keep the water from getting under the vinyl and lifting the vinyl up.
