Why Vinyl Flooring is Your Waterproof Solution

Vinyl flooring is becoming a popular choice for flooring due to its durability, water resistance, and versatility in design.

Its popularity can also be attributed to the growing range of design, pattern and texture options available and its ability to almost perfectly reproduce the look of natural materials such as hardwood and stone. 

Vinyl flooring is a waterproof flooring option constructed from Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) with an enhanced rigid core construction. This construction provides extra resistance and excellent dimensional stability. The floor will hold its shape and size against moisture or temperature variations. The floor comes with a pre-attached underlayment on the flooring planks. 

The most popular selling point for vinyl flooring is its water-resistance that makes it a suitable choice for areas prone to spills and moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms. However, it’s an indoor flooring solution and shouldn’t be installed outdoors or inside showers. The underlay provides an additional barrier against moisture penetration from below and prevents water vapor from seeping through the subfloor. 

Additionally, the underlayment attached to the floor planks provides a softer and more comfortable feel underfoot creating a more comfortable surface to walk on. It helps reduce impact noise by absorbing and dampening sound vibrations. The attached underlay also provides thermal insulation properties.

The vinyl flooring is easy to install. The planks are installed through click and lock therefore can be installed over any existing floor. This glue-less installation also makes it the perfect renter-friendly choice! 

Vinyl is a great flooring option for high traffic and commercial areas and for anyone looking for a high quality but low maintenance floor. It requires minimal maintenance, with regular sweeping and occasional mopping sufficient to keep it clean.
