If you are planning renovations to your house but are conscious of the money coming out of your pocket, you’ll be interested in learning more about vinyl click flooring. Not only is it one of the cheapest floors on the market at the moment, but it is also very practical and looks gorgeous. Here are the three reasons to choose vinyl click flooring.

1. Durability

As with any vinyl flooring, click vinyl is extremely durable. The floor is made in part of polyvinyl chloride, or as most people call it, PVC. Because these floors are basically made of plastic, they are incredibly hardwearing and water-resistant. These are key properties that make these floors suitable for use in rooms like bathrooms and kitchens, which contributes to the versatility of the floor.

These floors are highly recommended for rooms that experience heavy footfall since they are very hardwearing. That means if you have a busy family home for example, then vinyl floors might be just what you’re looking for. Vinyl is practical not only because of its endurance but also for its low maintenance requirement. All that is needed is a regular mop, sweep or hoover to keep this floor in good shape.

2. Appearance

Don’t be fooled, vinyl has come in leaps and bounds since its early days and is now available in hundreds of different styles. From wood to stone effect, vinyl click floors have a design for every home. This versatility in aesthetics makes it easy to carry vinyl floors throughout your whole home. Whether you’re wanting a dark wood look in your kitchen and a tiled hallway, vinyl flooring has it all. The practicality we’ve mentioned previously is enough to convince anyone that vinyl is a fantastic choice for the modern house.

3. Quick and easy to install

What makes vinyl click flooring truly special is its “click” system of installation. This is a locking mechanism that enables the boards to simply “click” together when you lay them down. This is obviously the dream for any DIY lover but is just as easy to use if you’re not so skilled. This quicker installation time cuts down renovation time so might help you to save money with lengthy joining processes. It’s important to be realistic about your skill level. If you’re not sure, always consult a professional joiner to do the job correctly and safely. The click system is just as easy to uninstall as it is to install in the first place. This is very important because in the rare case a tile gets damaged, you will only need to replace the broken piece instead of the whole floor.

Don’t be afraid to use a vinyl floor. In past years it sometimes earned itself a bad reputation as a cheap alternative to the real thing. Which it is. But modern and continuing advancements in manufacturing now means that vinyl floors can stand their own against the likes of a laminate while offering an abundance of other benefits.
