Look for the Best Vinyl Flooring in Auckland North Shore

Posted by Karen Dennis on October 30th, 2015

Vinyl is a resilient, affordable, and versatile flooring option you can consider for your home in Auckland North Shore. Depending on which kind of vinyl surface you choose, the total costs can be 70% lower than other materials. What’s more, vinyl comes in a myriad of styles these days. You will surely find that perfect vinyl flooring for your kitchen, your bathroom, your entryway, or even your laundry room.

When looking for the best vinyl floor for your project in Auckland North Shore, you must determine which of the three installations you need. Vinyl flooring may be installed as (1) sheets, (2) tiles, or (3) planks. The type of adhesive and method of installation will vary depending on floor style. Here are some important facts to keep in mind when making a decision:

•    Vinyl sheets typically come in 6- or 12-foot widths. They are ideal for bathrooms and other such high-moisture areas as they can be installed seamlessly.

•    Vinyl tiles are manufactured to exact dimensions and thicknesses to give your finished floor a more uniform appearance. These tiles also come in different patterns. Self-adhesive vinyl tiles are the quickest to install. Should some of your vinyl tiles get damaged, you may be able to order precision cut replacements.

•    Vinyl planks are manufactured in widths of 4 or 6 inches and lengths of 3 or four feet. The great thing about these planks is that they look like hardwood but are much cheaper and easier to maintain and install.

Vinyl flooring can be installed on any type of standard underlayment, old ceramic tiles, concrete, non-cushioned vinyl flooring, and wood provided that surface preparation is done correctly. Its water resistance and stability make vinyl a great choice for any room that is above, below, or at grade level.

More and more homeowners and builders in Auckland North Shore are choosing vinyl flooring because it is very easy to maintain. All you need to do is regularly sweep your vinyl floor and occasionally use a damp mop to keep it looking new. It’s easy to deal with spills—just wipe them off using damp cloths.

Be sure to choose vinyl sheets, planks, or tiles with protective backing to get the best value. This backing can provide additional mildew and moisture resistance, as well as additional resiliency. In general, thicker vinyl makes better flooring.

You also have to choose the right surface coating. No-wax coating is perfect for low-traffic areas. Urethane might be a better option for rooms with heavy traffic as it resists scuff marks and scratches. Enhanced Urethane is the highest quality coating for vinyl floors. It can survive the heaviest traffic, offers superior scratch and stain resistance, and tends to maintain its lustre longer.
