Learn More About Waterproof Vinyl Flooring
Waterproof Vinyl flooring comes in several forms: sheet vinyl, vinyl plank, vinyl tile, and a rigid core. Vinyl remains one of the most popular flooring choices because it's waterproof, it's available in a variety of styles, and it's extremely easy to maintain. Because it's waterproof, it can be mopped, unlike hardwood and some laminates, and it can be installed anywhere in the house. Get in touch with us today.
Types of Waterproof Vinyl Flooring
-
Sheet Vinyl- If you're looking for options, this is your go-to. Sheet vinyl comes in just about any style you can think of wood, stone, tile, etc. It comes in 6 or 12 ft rolls, making it quick to install (for pros). It's not recommended to install yourself because if not done properly, there will be visible wrinkles and bubbles.
-
Vinyl Plank (LVP)- Commonly known as LVT or LVP (luxury vinyl tile or plank), these floors are generally designed to look like hardwood floors. Vinyl plank is generally glued down, but you can find some that are floating (see "rigid core"). Because it's 100% waterproof, it makes a great kitchen or bathroom floor.
-
Vinyl Tile (LVT)- This is vinyl that comes in square or rectangle "tiles." Common sizes are 12x12, 24x24, and 12x24. Vinyl tile is designed to look like stone or tile and is sometimes even installed to be grouted like an actual tile. Because of its shape, it's often installed in patterns: diamond, monolithic, checkered.
-
Rigid Core- These are "engineered" vinyl planks that have either WPC (Wood Plastic Core) or SPC (stone plastic core). This particular type of vinyl flooring was developed to be the best of both laminate and vinyl. These floors are usually installed just like laminate and can be a good option for DIYers.
