Thanks to its low cost, moisture resistance, and simple installation process, vinyl flooring is a popular choice for business owners. However, there are many types of vinyl, and not all of them are created equal. To help you determine which is right for you, here’s an overview of a few of the most common varieties and each of their distinct advantages.

Which Vinyl Flooring Style Works for a Business?

1. Sheet Vinyl

This is helpful when you need flooring for a large area. These rolls of material are available in six- to 12-foot widths. Its fiberglass core prevents it from cracking and curling.

Though this is typically the most cost-effective of all vinyl options, it may have fewer design choices than other varieties. Price may also fluctuate depending on the traffic load the sheet can handle.

2. Plank Vinyl

This is typically used to closely mimic the look of hardwood at more affordable rates. Clicking together and locking in place, it’s easy to install, which reduces downtime and labor costs. It has a shock-absorbing underlayment, which allows it to be installed over preexisting concrete or tile surfaces.

3. Vinyl Composition Tile

Thanks to 3D imaging and embossment, this option can recreate the look and texture of many other materials, including hardwood and natural stone. The tiles can be placed in a wide variety of configurations to create a custom pattern.

Considered high-end, these are typically priced above other vinyl varieties. However, since damaged sections can be replaced individually, replacement and repairs are the most cost-effective, which is helpful for businesses that receive a lot of foot traffic.
