Are you looking for better flooring material? If so, you can choose vinyl flooring. They are growing increasingly popular among people and thus, experiencing record-high sales. This flooring type is made using a synthetic material called polyvinyl chloride plastic.

You get an option to choose from two types of vinyl flooring, i.e., tile flooring and sheet flooring. In addition, vinyl flooring can be achieved in three types of finishes. These are vinyl no-wax finish, urethane finish, and enhanced urethane finish.

Vinyl floors look beautiful and mimic a vast array of other luxury flooring materials. But if you are thinking about installing it, you need to know more about this flooring type. Hopefully, this post has got you covered on installing Vinyl Flooring. 

Important Things To Consider Before Installing Vinyl Flooring 

#1 Cost

Per square foot vinyl flooring is an economical option because it offers a significant cost saving than ceramic, wood, and stone flooring. Vinyl floor costs between Rs. 60 to 400 per sq feet, depending on the brand, thickness and quality.

#2 Durability 

Talking about durability, vinyl floors can last from 10-20 years. That’s because vinyl floorings have a wear layer on the surface. This layer can perfectly resist scratches and stains. In addition, certain vinyl floors even come with a 15 years warranty on the wear layer.

#3 Stain Resistance 

Since vinyl floors have a wear layer, they do not get stained quickly. But solid and composite vinyl tiles do not come with this kind of surface protection. That means they can get stained. However,  you can keep them looking like new with regular polishing.

#4 Ease of Installation 

Compared with other flooring materials, installation of vinyl flooring is very easy. Adhesive is spread over the floor and the vinyl is pasted directly onto the floor. Vinyl flooring seems to work well over concrete, plywood, and hardwood. Also, you can stick it over pre-existing vinyl floors but not when there are two or more layers.

#5 Design 

Vinyl flooring’s versatility makes it so popular. It comes in different patterns and colors, which are visually appealing.  Designs can be created by mixing different colors of vinyl in patterns and shapes.

#6 Thickness 

Most vinyl floorings have a padded layer, making them feel soft beneath the feet. It makes walking on them comfortable. Also, certain luxury vinyl floors come with sound-absorbing properties. Thickness can vary between 2 and 8 mm.

#7 Maintenance 

Vinyl floors don’t really require much maintenance. You can keep them clean with regular sweeping. If your vinyl flooring has a “no-wax” finish, it will always look stunning and new with quick mopping.

#8 Sunlight 

If you are thinking about getting vinyl flooring, don’t let the sunlight reach directly to them. That’s because sunlight can fade vinyl floors.

Self Leveling for Vinyl Floors

As far as self-leveling is concerned, it is necessary for floor surfaces that are uneven or have undulations. Vinyl flooring looks neatly installed on a floor that has been self-leveled with a leveling compound. The joints are also perfect if the base floor is self-leveled.
