Choosing a new flooring for your home is in one way similar to choosing wall design. You have many different options. You could paint the walls, fit wallpaper in any one of an almost endless range of designs, tile it (ditto), and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equally, when it comes to flooring, you could choose carpet, tile, stone (marble, granite, quartz, etc.,) vinyl, wood, laminate, engineered wood \u2013 the list goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the popular choices at Floor Direct<\/a> is vinyl flooring because of the many benefits that it has. Just to begin with, it can cost quite a bit less than other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, one of the best things about vinyl flooring is that it can be made to look like virtually anything else that you wish. Vinyl is made up of a core layer, which can have a backing or underlay, and on top of this is an image layer which can represent almost anything. On top of that is a wear layer which protects the image layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, you can have vinyl flooring that looks exactly like hardwood, or tile, or marble, or has one of many colours or patterns. If you choose something like hardwood, nobody (except you) is going to know that it isn\u2019t wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click Flooring<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But it is not just the designs that make vinyl such a good option. Vinyl flooring is often known as vinyl click flooring because it is produced in sections \/ tiles that have a locking mechanism along the edges. So, the tiles can be laid and just \u201cclicked\u201d together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons that vinyl flooring for kitchens<\/a><\/strong> is such a good choice is that because the tiles click together no water or spills can penetrate to the subfloor beneath. For that reason, it is also a good choice for bathrooms where you are going to walk about with wet feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet another advantage of vinyl flooring for kitchens<\/strong> is that when spills occur, as they sometimes do, the wear layer on top will protect the floor so there will not be any staining as a result. All you need to do is to wipe up the spill. End of problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are installing underfloor heating, which many homeowners are doing today, vinyl flooring is perfect because it will expand and contract with the heat as it warms up and cools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there is any downside, it is that vinyl flooring will not last as long as other surfaces. Typically, it can be anywhere between 10 and 25 years. But then again, as we said, it costs a lot less than many other materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
