Vinyl
Vinyl has a very wide variety of qualities and
prices, as well as styles, patterns, and colors. It
is clearly one of the most versatile flooring
options. There are literally hundreds of styles
and colors to choose from, and pricing options
that make vinyl workable for most any budget.
They're also resilient. They "give" when you
walk on them, which creates a soft, comfortable
feel underfoot, and also reduces the chances of
plates and glasses breaking when dropped.
Vinyl floors are known for their easy care and
cleaning, and are generally wear-resistant,
which makes them a sensible choice for the
kitchen, bath, or any other room in your home.
They are also known to be extremely
affordable and giving when it comes to color
matching or color selection. Due to the fact
that there are no or very few seams vinyl is
water resistant.
You can choose from sheet vinyl, which comes
in 6 and 12 foot roll widths and in almost any
length, or from vinyl tiles, which depending
upon the manufacturer, may be available in 9,
12, 14, 16 or 18 inch squares.
