ABOUT VINYL FLOORING

Vinyl Flooring is available as sheet, plank, or tile. It may have a firm or resilient character. Vinyl Flooring is ideally suited to use in bathrooms, kitchens and mudrooms, where it provides a completely waterproof surface which is durable and easy to clean. Vinyl flooring is available in a very wide range of colors and patterns. It is frequently designed to imitate natural material, such as Sandstone, Limestone, Slate, Marble, Granite, or Mosaic. It can also imitate wooden planked flooring.

Furniture on vinyl flooring should be provided with large surface non-staining floor protectors. Heavy furniture and appliances must be moved with care on vinyl flooring, to avoid the risk of gouging or tearing the floor. The best method is to lay strips of plywood or hardboard panels on the floor, then walk or slide these items on the strips.
