28 Jan Budget Flooring Doesn’t have to Look Cheap

In the 1950’s, the term linoleum was used to denote an inexpensive floor covering. Advances in technology have made significant improvements in the material and it’s now a flooring choice that’s waterproof, highly decorative, and can provide the appearance of stone, marble, and ceramic tile at affordable prices.

Vinyl flooring is offered in an extensive array of patterns, designs and colors. It’s available in the form of tiles or vinyl planks that provide the luxury look of hardwood floors. Individuals can choose styles with the look of embossing and scraping, making it an ideal solution for environments ranging from casual living areas to formal dining rooms. In addition to its opulent appearance, vinyl flooring also has a wealth of additional benefits that include:

• Waterproof
• Low maintenance
• Withstands high traffic areas
• Doesn’t hold allergens
• Helps reduce noise
• Comfortable to walk on
• Resistant to scratches and marring
• Stain resistant
• Appropriate for home and businesses

The coloring and patterns are replicated from top to bottom of vinyl linoleum, allowing it to retain its beauty even in high traffic areas. If a tile or plank is damaged beyond repair, it’s easily replaced without the need to completely recover the entire floor.

Vinyl linoleum is a favorite of homeowners and it’s appropriate for a variety of other applications. It’s used in child care centers, entryways and foyers, breakrooms, and even in the laundry rooms of apartment complexes where moisture and the danger of spills are always present.

The versatility and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the flooring means home and business owners can have an impressive looking floor that doesn’t look cheap – without breaking the budget. The vinyl linoleum of today is far different than its predecessors. The look of high-end marble and ceramic tile is available to everyone with luxury vinyl linoleum.
