Vinyl Choices

There is a perfect vinyl for your personal style.

Your style is reflected throughout your home; in the table you bought for the dining room and in
the artwork displayed on throughout. Your style is expressed from room to room, indoors and out.

Needless to say, your style will also be communicated through your flooring.

Vinyl choices, patterns, colors, textures and even price points can intimidate even the most
experienced shopper, helping you understand the different types can provide you with a firm
foundation to make the best choice for your lifestyle.

Vinyl has changed for the better.

Today’s vinyl flooring has truly advanced from that of yesterday, with a broad selection of
realistic colors, patterns and textures. They offer exceptional durability with easy maintenance.

Gone are the shiny, plastic looking floors that easily dented and ripped.

Many emulate the look of natural stone, slate, ceramic tile and even exotic wood grains, which
can fit into any budget.

Vinyl beginnings.

Traditionally, vinyl flooring has been found in the kitchen, baths or laundry room areas.

This is because vinyl is especially functional for the “wet areas” of the household, with its ease
of cleaning and resistance to water.

Vinyl is also known to be comfortable and warm in comparison to a natural stone or ceramic tile.

Thanks to innovations in design and performance, vinyl flooring is now at home in any room of
your home.

Considering making a change?

If replacing any flooring is in your future, keep vinyl in mind.

Today’s vinyl flooring has in several options available, ranging from the many sheet vinyl
products to luxury vinyl tiles, vinyl plank and even a floating floor application.

Advancements in the adhesives used, allows for many vinyl products to be installed with
releasable glue. This is a huge advantage if there is a need to remove the flooring for repairs, as it can then be re-installed.

Price = Quality & Benefits

As the vinyl price scale increases, so do your benefits.

When looking for performance, the premium wear layers offer superior resistance to stains,
scuffs and scratches. That’s worth thinking about if you live in an active household with kids or
pets. Also the selection of patterns, colors and textures becomes more versatile.

Some premium wear layers are enhanced with aluminum oxide, which provides exceptional.
resistance to stains and scratching. These qualities make clean up a breeze and make your life
easier.

Premium vinyl’s have enhanced performance construction, designed to protect your floor from
rips, tears, gouges and permanent indentations. You’ll see spending a little more up front, pays
off in the end.

Room size can dictates the vinyl pattern.

When selecting a vinyl pattern, take into consideration the size and layout of the room.

The decorating rule of thumb still applies to vinyl flooring in relation to room size and color.

Light colors will make a smaller room appear larger, while dark colors will absorb the light and
create a more intimate setting. Neutral colors allow for more versatile options with décor and
accessories.

When choosing vinyl pattern sizes, a smaller pattern works well in small rooms, hallways or
entries and larger patterns can look great in large kitchens, playrooms or family rooms and will
actually visually expand a room.

When considering vinyl patterns, you’ll also want to consider the printed fabric on your furniture
or wallpaper in the room.

Keep fabric and wallpaper in mind.

When considering vinyl flooring styles you’ll also want to consider any printed fabric on your furniture or wallpaper in the room.

If the fabric or wallpaper is a large-scale print you’ll want to look at smaller patterns for the floor.

Conversely, if you have a small-scale pattern in the fabric or wallpaper you’ll want a larger pattern for the floor.

Gloss or no gloss…that is the question.

Vinyl flooring products come in a variety of gloss levels to suit your needs. Many of today’s
vinyl products have a matte finish to be more forgiving to daily foot traffic and scratches.

We hope this helps you find a style to match the pattern of life in your home. While there are
many styles of vinyl flooring, the right one can help make your home.
