Renowned for its moisture resistance, durability and versatility, vinyl flooring has been a popular option for homes around the world since the 1960s.
If you’re in the market for new, budget-friendly flooring, vinyl is one of the most sensible options, but how exactly can your home benefit from it?
In this article, our experts reveal the benefits of using vinyl flooring and why it should be at the top of your list of considerations.
1. It’s waterproof
If you’re looking to upgrade the floors in your kitchen or bathroom, but don’t want the headache that comes with traditional tile, vinyl is the next best thing.
From accidental spills to pet messes, you can be confident that your flooring is protected from moisture.
However, it’s important to note that the quality of installation can impact their level of water resistance, so it’s important to make sure that it’s fitted properly – ideally by a professional.
2. It’s easy to maintain
Like any other type of flooring, vinyl requires occasional cleaning to keep it in tip-top condition, especially in higher-traffic areas of your home. Luckily, they’re incredibly easy to clean.
Once or twice a week, use a broom, vacuum, or microfibre sweeper for a quick freshen-up, and for a deeper clean, use a damp mop and gentle cleaning solution to remove stains and tough spots of dirt.
Vinyl flooring can last anywhere from 25-30 years, and the better you maintain your flooring, the longer it’ll last, and the longer it’ll retain its stunning good looks.
3. It’s child and pet-friendly
If you’ve got young children wreaking havoc or a mucky pup roughing up the place, vinyl flooring.
This is because they’re incredibly resistant to scratches and stains – so you don’t have to worry about accidental spillages, muddy footprints, or sharp claws damaging your floors.
Vinyl flooring also offers excellent sound-proofing properties, so you can rest assured that your little ones bounding around won’t bug the neighbours.
4. It’s versatile
Vinyl flooring looks great in any area of the home and there are hundreds of colours, styles, and patterns to choose from that will fit in perfectly with the rest of your décor.
From wood and marble effect to stone, decorative tile, and more, your options are practically limitless and you should have no trouble finding something you love that also suits your style!
5. It’s affordable
Compared to other flooring options – such as tile, hardwood and, carpet – vinyl is one of the most suitable options for budget-conscious buyers.
At affordable prices, you can bring a touch of luxury to your home without breaking the bank, but the price you’ll pay depends on the quality of the vinyl, the size of the room where it’s being installed, and labour costs.
