Vinyl flooring – its not what you remember from years ago. Vinyl flooring today comes in sophisticated colors, patterns and styles, and may be the perfect choice for your current flooring remodel project.

Vinyl typically comes in tiles or in sheet format.

Sheet vinyl is a great choice for budget friendly shoppers. It comes in many designs and patterns, and with a variety of feels to the touch. Sheet vinyl is one of the easiest to install, and you can have your flooring installed and ready to use quickly.

Vinyl composition tile (VCT) is also a great choice for budget minded shoppers. It’s a durable flooring choice that’s inexpensive to install. It comes in a variety of colors, though patterns are somewhat limited.

Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) has many design options to choose from. Start by choosing a design – luxury vinyl can look like hardwood, ceramic, marble, stone, slate, and many other patterns. Then choose your details – borders, grout line, alternating colors – anything is possible to achieve with this option. Many luxury vinyl tiles have a heavy commercial warranty and are suitable for heavy traffic areas.

By working with a flooring contractor, you will quickly be able to determine the right choice for you, and have help making your final selection. Then preparation begins.

Vinyl flooring needs a good subfloor to create a product you’ll love and will wear well in the coming years. If your subfloor is in poor condition, the installer will typically lay a new subfloor over the existing one, skim coat over the existing subfloor to even it out, or remove the existing subfloor and replace with a new one. In any case, patchwork or other small preparation work is usually done prior to laying vinyl, including cleaning all debris, dirt and dust from the floor.

If sheet vinyl is installed, it will be cut into pieces for the best layout for your room. If you are having vinyl tiles or planks installed, the installer will decide where its best to begin for a natural look and flow. Depending on the type of flooring, the vinyl will either be glued, stapled or loose laid.

With many luxury vinyl tiles, special manufacturers epoxy adhesive is used to guarantee warranty and to provide you with the extra moisture protection. Make sure you understand the type of glue used and the conditions necessary to abide by the guidelines, and to keep your family safe in the process.
