Resilient, beautiful, and always practical, vinyl flooring has advantages over other hard-surface floors. Alpine Carpet One Floor & Home is your one-stop source for all the latest vinyl flooring looks and can help you narrow down your selections and find the best fit for both your budget and your lifestyle.

Whether you prefer the look of glossy hardwood planks or gleaming marble slabs, vinyl flooring offers up striking visuals and sheer endurance. It can resist stains, spills, and dents like no other, and its incredible density means you won’t ever have to worry about your floor, whatever the day brings.

Types of Vinyl Flooring

Offering up appealing options for every homeowner, vinyl flooring gives us plentiful options. Realistic tiles and planks let us create convincing compositions that look and feel exactly like traditional hardwood and tile selections, from sleek “pine” planks to gleaming “artisan porcelain” tile. For those on the tightest budgets, there are even vinyl sheets sold by the roll that can be installed with minimal seams. Each type of vinyl flooring offers up its own unique set of benefits.

There are very few of us that are immune to the charms of glossy, luxe hardwood floors, but the truth is that hardwood planks aren’t always the right fit for your lifestyle or interior space. Providing an alternative that’s not only palatable, but practical, vinyl plank works well in all types of interior environments.

Although we don’t feel it’s fair to directly compare natural hardwood to vinyl plank, there are certainly is compelling reasons to opt for the latter. The main reason for this is the presence of moisture- especially in areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Real hardwood cannot compete with major moisture: in fact, over time your hardwood can shrink or expand. With vinyl plank, you can make a major splash without worrying. These pretty planks are easy to install and even easier to maintain. They can be used for any interior space, and are made to manage daily life with kids, pets, and frequent footsteps.

Although ceramic and porcelain tile have been a traditional flooring favorite for bathrooms and kitchens, the advent of vinyl tile is a momentous change. As our lives continue to move at a faster pace, we have limited time to devote to cleaning our floors. Vinyl tile is made to manage our tighter schedules, combining realistic good looks with indestructible layers. With its protective topcoat and resilient vinyl backing, vinyl tile can take on heavy foot traffic, daily splashes, and even the constant presence of pet paws.

Offering up formidable moisture resistance, vinyl tile is even available in waterproof options. You won’t ever need to grout it, and any accidental spills are captured at the surface where they can readily be wiped clean, without a trace.

Is Vinyl Flooring Waterproof?

Although all types of vinyl flooring are armed with the ability to resist a fair degree of moisture, a select few are considered 100% waterproof. Those with pets and small children would be wise to consider this subfamily of products. Waterproof vinyl flooring is armed with both a watertight core and a protective topcoat, causing any stray spills or accidents to stay above surface, where it can be conveniently wiped away- no stains remaining.

Vinyl Flooring Installation

Vinyl flooring can be enjoyed anywhere under your roof. It’s durable enough for areas like stairs and hallways, and moisture-resistant enough for the kitchen, bathroom, finished basement, or a laundry room. Of course, higher-end styles are rich and enticing enough to enhance all your favorite living room, bedroom, and dining room décor schemes, as well.
