Vinyl, also called resilient, is a versatile
flooring option.
There are literally hundreds of styles and
colors to choose from, and pricing options that make
vinyl workable for most any budget. Vinyl floors are
known for their easy care and cleaning, and are
generally wear-resistant. They're also resilient.
They
"give" when you walk on them, which creates a soft,
comfortable feel underfoot, and also reduces the
chances of plates and glasses breaking when dropped.
The unique manufacturing processes used today can
replicate the look and textures of real ceramic
tile,
stone and wood grains. Plus, resilient manufacturers
have created new manufacturing processes to
make vinyl floors more tear and stain resistant.
There are three basic types of vinyl floors
currently used in homes and commercial settings:
Vinyl :
The standard wear layer for base grade vinyl floors.
Although this is considered a no wax floor, it
should be given an occasional polish to give the
floor a shine.
Urethane :
The upgrade wear layer for vinyl floors. This is
easier to clean and is more resistant to
scratching than ordinary vinyl no-wax. Weekly
cleaning with a no-rinse floor cleaner is all that
is required
on most urethane floors.
PVC
:
PVC (Polyvinyl chloride), the latest technology in
resilient flooring offers a fiberglass interlayer
and
comfort backing. With the option of endless design
and color options, this floor offers dimensional
stability so the flooring will not expand, contract,
crack or curl.
