Tarkett Contemporary Timber Vinyl

Invented in the 1930’s, vinyl flooring first made an impact on the architectural world in the years following World War II.

By the 1950’s, it was a major competitor against other resilient options. Therefore it had all but surpassed linoleum’s position as the best low-cost water-resistant flooring option for locations such as bathrooms and kitchens.

There are a variety of advantages that come with installing vinyl flooring in your home.

These are the same tried and true characteristics that have been touted since the 1950’s by vinyl flooring retailers and suppliers.

Low maintenance.

Vinyl flooring is relatively easy to care for.

Above all make sure that grit and dirt are kept swept free to maintain the surface of the floor. Then, you can use a damp mop and an approved vinyl floor cleaner to remove stains. But few flooring options are as easy to care for as vinyl.

Water resistance: 

A well-installed vinyl floor is almost impervious to water penetration, making this the perfect material for use in a bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, or other high moisture space in the home.

Comfort underfoot.

Vinyl does not get cold in the winter and is generally softer beneath your feet than wood or ceramic tile floors. Some vinyl sheets and tiles, also have a padded under layer that can make walking on these floors even more comfortable.

Durability. 

Vinyl is generally considered to be a highly durable material that, if properly installed and maintained, can last upwards of ten to twenty years.

However, the quality of the material that you purchase and the way it was manufactured will determine how well your floor lasts over time.
