A typical household with a family of four or more is
always bustling with activity. We constantly have our feet or shoes on the
floor and running from one room to another. From morning to evening someone or
the other keeps walking on the floor. For a household like this it is essential
to have flooring that is versatile and long lasting. Vinyl flooring proves to
be an extremely versatile option which takes low maintenance and also looks
very attractive. The modern designs in this option are plenty and you even get
vinyl flooring tiles that resemble marble and granite.
Using
vinyl planks for flooring
Vinyl planks are rich in color and resemble exactly
like wood. Most people who look at these planks mistake it for wood. It is low
maintenance because it is water proofed. It fits well into moisture prone areas
like under the kitchen sink and near the garden hose and so on. Wooden flooring
cannot be laid in places that are close to the bathroom and basements. Vinyl
flooring has no such restrictions. It is also warm and can be installed through
a do it yourself project as well. It does not require traditional flooring
products such as adhesives to be installed.
Vinyl
tiles and vinyl sheets
People get confused when they are presented with the
options of vinyl tiles and vinyl sheets together. These are nothing but two
basic types of flooring available in vinyl material. Choosing the type of
flooring depends on what you want. If you want heavy patterns on your flooring
then vinyl sheet is a much better option. If you like the traditional
checkerboard pattern then the tiles is a good option. Vinyl sheets typically
come in huge rolls. They have a felt back and needs to be installed by a
professional for durability. Each type of vinyl is designed in such a way that
the installment requirements are different.
Choosing
vinyl patterns
Other than offering comfort and quality vinyl
floorings also come in beautiful and attractive designs. You will be presented
with so many choices that choosing a design becomes very difficult. However
there are two basic patterns in which vinyl flooring is designed. One if the
inlaid pattern and the other is the printed pattern
Printed patterns have intricate designs of many
varieties. The patterns are printed on to the vinyl sheet directly to the
surface once it is laid. The pattern is further covered with a protective
sheet. The protective sheet ensures that the pattern stays for a long time
without being damaged by water and floor spills. It is not only the patterns
that differ but they come in several colors as well. However the only
limitation is that printed vinyl is not as durable as the other type of vinyl.
Inlaid vinyl is also a type of pattern laying. The
patterns are injected into the vinyl flooring after laying it out. The patterns
and vinyl sheets are fused together and the pattern finally merges becoming a
part of the vinyl sheet.
