How to Choose the Right Vinyl Flooring

26 Feb.,2024

 

Vinyl sheet flooring comes in large rolls, usually measuring six or 12 feet wide. This type of vinyl is the most cost-efficient when it comes to covering larger spaces. Like vinyl plank flooring, it requires the installer to apply adhesive or glue directly to the subfloor before rolling out the flooring.

Styles & Colors of Vinyl Flooring

In addition to a variety of types, vinyl flooring is also available in many styles and colors. If you want the appearance of natural hardwood without the high maintenance and installation costs, vinyl planks offer the most cost-effective solution. You can also install luxury vinyl planks for a higher-quality solution. This option features thicker planks, more layers, edge treatments, and other customizations.

Vinyl sheets offer a seamless floor covering for high-moisture areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. They also come in a variety of designs that work well in any home or business. With so many style and color options, you should have no trouble finding a color and style to compliment your home or business decor. Vinyl flooring is also easier and less expensive to repair than wood or tile because it usually only requires replacing one or two pieces instead of an entire area of the floor. Replacing vinyl is also much easier than removing and/or replacing a broken or damaged tile. 

The Cost of Vinyl Flooring

Now that you know what vinyl flooring is, let’s review one of its biggest advantages: the cost. True wood, natural stone, or ceramic tile flooring is expensive, but vinyl flooring can give you similar results for a much lower price.

Depending on the size of the area and whether you install the flooring yourself or hire a repair professional, vinyl flooring costs can range as low as a few hundred dollars up to several thousand. Most types of vinyl flooring tend to range between $2 and $5 per square foot for materials and between $3 and $10 for the installation.

When calculating your project costs, don’t forget to include the cost to remove and dispose of your old flooring, the need for a new underlayment, and the layout of your room (more cuts can increase installation/labor costs). Square rooms typically cost less for flooring installation than rooms with hard-to-reach areas, stairs, or other necessary cutouts.

Vinyl Flooring Repair

Another advantage of installing vinyl flooring is that it’s much easier to repair. If you have a vinyl floor that is damaged, contact your local handyman for help. A pro will analyze your flooring and provide a clean repair strategy, including the following:

  • Repairing uneven vinyl floors.
  • Repairing vinyl floors that are peeling up.
  • Replacing stained or damaged vinyl tiles, planks, or sheets.

Depending on the amount of damage and flooring type, a replacement may be a better option. If this is the case, request an estimate and discuss your options.
