Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring is a synthetic resilient flooring made primarily from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), offering waterproof durability and versatile design options at affordable prices. Modern vinyl technology produces realistic stone and wood visuals while providing comfort, warmth, and easy maintenance.
Available in sheets, tiles, and planks, vinyl suits nearly any application from residential bathrooms to commercial installations. Water resistance makes vinyl ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where other flooring materials might fail.

Placement & Usage Tips
Sheet vinyl provides the most waterproof installation with fewest seams. Prepare subfloors carefully—vinyl shows every imperfection. Consider cushioned backing for areas where standing is common.
💡 Pro Tip
Quality differs dramatically in vinyl flooring. Premium products with thick wear layers and fiberglass reinforcement outlast budget options by decades. Consider cost-per-year rather than initial price.
