Sheet Vinyl Flooring
Flooring in high-traffic areas such as schools, hospitals, commercial offices, or residential home entrances can take a beating on a day-to-day basis.
Only the most durable floor covering can stand up to all that use, which makes sheet vinyl flooring an optimal choice.
The Advantages of Vinyl
Sheet vinyl flooring is the right choice when you are looking for the following traits:
Low cost
Compared to other options, vinyl can help you maximize your construction or remodeling budget.
Cleaning
With no or few seams to catch and hold dirt, sheet vinyl is ideal for places where sanitation is key.
Resistance
This type of flooring is both stain and water resistant, prolonging the life of your flooring.
Durability
These floors handle heavy traffic with ease.
Comfort
Vinyl feels good under the foot and helps control noise as well.
Design Options
Gone are the days when vinyl flooring had to be monochromatic and sterile. Though there certainly are plenty of subdued design options for commercial applications, there are many creative designs to choose from.
Sheet vinyl is offered in hundreds of styles and colors which will help to enhance the look of your project. Sheet vinyl flooring can feature ceramic tile, hardwood floors, (popular for residential applications), geometric designs, and more.
Things to Consider About Vinyl
Buyers also should be aware of a few drawbacks to this type of flooring:
Fading
In areas that get a lot of direct sunlight, vinyl flooring can fade over time.
Heavy Loads
Significant compression can damage the floors.
Sharp Objects
Vinyl can be gouged by falling sharp objects, such as knives.
