Vinyl flooring: Most Popular and Stylish Option for Any Home in Auckland

Posted by Karen Dennis on January 5th, 2016

First used in the 1930’s, vinyl flooring has always been a popular low cost and water resistant flooring option. It possesses a number of desirable characteristics that make it a good choice for homeowners in Auckland and elsewhere who are looking for a durable and affordable flooring option. Technology has also dramatically improved the quality of vinyl floors. It has been made resistant to scratches, stains, and dents (provided that it is installed correctly over proper subflooring). Now more than ever, builders, decorators, and homeowners in Australia have easy access to hard-wearing and good-looking vinyl flooring from reliable retailers and suppliers.

Wide Range of Stylish Design Options

These days, you will find vinyl flooring in many colours, textures, and patterns. Luxury vinyl tiles mimic the beauty of higher-end flooring options such as marble, travertine, slate, and wood. You can also go for vinyl sheets and vinyl tiles. Be sure to buy from a reputable Auckland based supplier of vinyl flooring if you want access to hundreds of choices at the best prices.

Easy to Clean and Maintain

Nothing beats vinyl in terms of easy cleaning. Just sweep your vinyl floor regularly to keep it clean and sparkling. You can also damp mop it occasionally with appropriate floor care products. Today’s advanced vinyl coatings create strong barriers against fading, stains, moisture, and scratches. Spills bead up and can we wiped away.

Water Resistant

A properly installed vinyl floor is virtually impervious to water. In fact, today’s vinyl floors can be used in kitchens, laundry rooms, and other spaces in the home that tend to have high moisture.

Affordable Style

Vinyl sheets and tiles are among the most budget-friendly flooring types. At the lowest range, vinyl can cost less than a dollar per square foot. Even luxury vinyl is a reasonably affordable upgrade, costing an average of 10 dollars per square foot. The price differences are determined by the tile quality and the design options. If you want the look of the certain type of high-end flooring—such as hardwood, for example—you don’t have to spend a lot of money. Ask your contractor if the same design is available in vinyl and save thousands of dollars right away.

Comfort for Less

Did you know that vinyl feels warm and comfortable under the feet? It does not get cold even during the winter months. Vinyl is also generally soft, with some vinyl tiles and sheets having padded layers.
