Vinyl plank flooring comes with many advantages. Here are some benefits of vinyl flooring:

  • Waterproof – Vinyl planks are 100% waterproof which means that you won’t ever have to worry about excess moisture or spills. 
  • Clean & Maintenance – Vinyl flooring is designed to be very easy to clean with anti-stain properties. Furthermore, they are simple to clean since they are waterproof.
  • Safety – Vinyl planks often provide anti-slip properties and are softer than hard flooring alternatives. This makes them much safer and suitable for commercial areas.

Whilst we all love hearing the benefits, there are drawbacks to be aware of:

  • Artificial – As vinyl floors are made of PVC plastic, they can look and feel fake compared to other flooring types. Lower quality vinyl ranges may even suffer from pattern repetition.
  • Surface Abrasions – Another drawback of the softer plastic material is that they scratch easier from sharp objects and heavy furniture dragging without felt padding on the legs.
  • VOC Emissions – Lower quality vinyl flooring may emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are a form of respiratory irritant. Whilst they don’t pose any real health risk, they can be irritating for asthmatic or sensitive people.

Whilst most decent quality vinyl planks look like real timber and even have textures embossed into the surface, there are some which can look cheap. The cheap and fake looking vinyl floors are found in lower quality ranges and can definitely detract from your designs.
