What is Vinyl Flooring?
Vinyl flooring is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), with various compounds added to modify the vinyl’s characteristics such as color, flexibility, hardness and sheen. Vinyl is an extremely popular choice for families with busy lives, pets, kids and want low maintenance.
Vinyl has become so popular that manufacturer’s have created styles and colors to mimic real hardwood, making it tough to distinguish between the two.
There are two main types of vinyl flooring, a vinyl roll flooring, also known as vinyl sheet flooring, and luxury vinyl tiles which consist of separate squares that come in different sizes. Great option for areas with high foot traffic, scratch resistant, and easy to clean.

Tones
Dark Tone

Frequently Asked Questions
Vinyl flooring is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), with various compounds added to modify the vinyl’s characteristics such as color, flexibility, hardness and sheen.
Laminate floors come in fiberboards (which is a wood product) and vinyl comes in sheets (rolls) and tiles (PVC material). This makes vinyl floors waterproof whereas laminate floors typically are not recommended for rooms where water is used.
Vinyl sheets and luxury vinyl tiles are waterproof. While vinyl sheets have fewer seams it is better suited for wet rooms whereas luxury vinyl tiles come as boards or tiles that are placed side by side, which results in many seams.
So, although the boards and tiles are waterproof, if not installed correctly, there is a risk of water seeping through the seams. It is therefore recommended to use a professional vinyl floor installer to ensure your vinyl floor is waterproof.
Vinyl tiles or luxury vinyl tiles consist of separate squares that come in different sizes, where normal vinyl floors come in big rolls. Vinyl luxury tiles makes the floor easier to handle and install in homes.
Most vinyl flooring or luxury vinyl tiles do not need an underlay. The vinyl floor rolls or luxury vinyl tiles are designed with a base layer, which makes the addition of underlay unnecessary. Your vinyl floor will only require an underlay if the surface underneath is uneven or has issues with moisture.
