Vinyl is an inexpensive, long lasting, easy to maintain flooring option, and it's the preferred flooring whenever moisture is present (such as in bathrooms and kitchens).

There are literally hundreds of styles and color options to choose from and some varieties have realistic textures which replicate natural materials such as stone, ceramic and wood.

Vinyl is very easy to maintain - it generally only requires sweeping and an occasional damp mop cleaning.

Because of its durability, vinyl is a sensible choice for bathrooms and for kitchen floors. However, keep in mind that a deeply textured pattern may be harder to clean.

Vinyl is comfortable to stand on, it's not as hard as other products such as tile. In addition, vinyl has properties similar to insulation which makes the floors quieter and keeps you warmer in winter and cooler in the summer.
