Today’s vinyl flooring comes in numerous forms, with textures and color variations that mimic real wood. Choose from tile, plank, sheet vinyl, and even peel-and-stick vinyl flooring. Here are just a few benefits of vinyl flooring:

  • Vinyl flooring that’s moisture-resistant can handle muddy boots, dirty paws and spills.
  • It stands up well to daily wear and tear.
  • Vinyl makes flooring affordable.
  • It’s easy to install yourself.
  • It’s easy to clean.
  • It’s great in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, mudrooms and even basements.

An Easy DIY Project

Wood-look vinyl flooring is a relatively easy do-it-yourself (DIY) project that you can tackle in a weekend. Install vinyl tile, plank, sheet vinyl, and even peel-and-stick tile right over an old floor that’s in good condition. Some vinyl options, such as luxury vinyl plank, feature a padded layer for a soft feel underfoot. You can also add underlayment for increased walking comfort.
