If you’re thinking about remodeling your home, or a part of your home, don’t forget to consider the flooring. Vinyl is a popular choice for new floors for a variety of reasons, including its ability to mimic many different styles and textures. Learn more about how vinyl flooring could make a difference in your next home improvement project.

Why Install Vinyl Flooring?

1. It’s Durable

Not only is vinyl one of the most affordable flooring options, but it is also extremely durable. If installed correctly by professional remodeling experts, a vinyl floor can last up to 20 years. Vinyl is water, stain, and scratch-resistant and is known for its ability to withstand heavy foot traffic. That’s why many people opt for vinyl floors in areas of the home that have the most activity, including kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms. 

2. It’s Easy to Install​​​​​​​

If you have scratches, cracks, unsightly marks, or other floor damage, vinyl is an excellent remedy. That’s because your old floor doesn’t have to be removed in order to install it. Vinyl can be installed right on top of the existing flooring—which also makes it easy to replace a section if necessary.

3. It’s Low-Maintenance

Since it’s water, stain, and scratch-resistant, vinyl requires minimal maintenance. All you need to do to keep the floors clean—even if you have pets and young children—is regularly sweep and mop. Unlike other more expensive flooring options, you don’t have to preserve vinyl with any waxes or sealants, saving you time and money.

4. It’s Available in Many Styles

You can choose a style, color, or pattern that matches your existing home design. Vinyl can also be manufactured to resemble wood, making it ideal for high-traffic rooms that abut wood flooring. For a more defined list of those options and advice on which would be best for you, speak to a local contractor.
