People can be surprisingly opinionated about which type of flooring they prefer. Some crave the comfort of a plush carpet, while others prefer the look of a shiny hardwood floor. As with many other things, folks seem to be sure of what they like to walk on.
When you’re shopping for new flooring, however, it’s important to consider every factor of your decision. Take vinyl flooring for instance. While many people think of it as a cheaper alternative to other types, some of our customers decide on vinyl for completely different reasons.
Sure, it’s true that vinyl tends to be more affordable than other types of flooring, and that’s always a good starting point for shoppers. It can take a lot of tiles to fill a large room.
But with vinyl, you’ll also enjoy the benefit of a vast number of options to choose from. If you can think of a design, it probably exists in vinyl tiles. In fact, modern vinyl can replicate the look of wood or ceramic to a point where it’s difficult to tell the difference, so you don’t always need to sacrifice style to save a few bucks.
Some people even prefer the feel of vinyl under their feet as opposed to other types of flooring. When installed properly, it can feel surprisingly soft and gentle. Think about ceramic tiles on a cold winter morning. It can feel like you’re house is built on a sheet of ice.
Perhaps most importantly, many people forget about durability and maintenance when shopping for flooring. After all, those floors aren’t going to clean themselves. Unlike other materials that sometimes require special cleaning processes, all you’ll most likely need for vinyl is a damp mop. Clean vinyl floors regularly and chances are you’ll be enjoying them for a long, long time.
