Reasons to choose sheet vinyl
Sheet vinyl is a multi-layered product that's
durable, highly affordable, and, thanks to modern technology, stylish enough
for any room in the house. When it was
first introduced to the market decades ago, it was highly praised for high
water resistance, low maintenance, and easy installation. Over the years, it's evolved into a higher
quality product with numerous colors and patterns.
Design options
Sheet vinyl flooring has come a long way from
what you may remember from years past.
Today, it can brighten any room with colorful geometric patterns,
checkerboards, floral motifs of filigree patterns, a texturing that makes the
image look weathered and hand-painted.
It is often used with elaborate metallic designs.
One of the most effective design options is that it can be made to look like wood, stone, or tile. You can get looks such as concrete, travertine, marble, gray, whitewashed or traditional wood, hexagons and classic squares, and more. It follows all current industry trends.

Other benefits include:
Durability: Vinyl is strong enough to withstand high foot
traffic, and, as a result, it is considered one of the most
kid-and-pet-friendly floors around.
There's also a transparent aluminum oxide wear layer at the top that
protects the floor from scratches and scuffs and keeps spills and stains from
absorbing. When installed and maintained correctly, vinyl
flooring can last over 20 years.
Comfort: Vinyl is considered a resilient product. It's warmer and softer than a truly hard
surface, making it easier to walk and stand. If you want even more cushioning,
ask your flooring expert about vinyl's additional options that can help.
Vinyl sheets come in widths that range from 6' to 12' (sometimes you might see 13'.) and require only daily sweeping and periodic mopping. Vinyl comes with different backings; fiberglass is particularly popular since it keeps the material from curling. Felt offers more cushioning and is easier on the joints, while a vinyl backing ensures the highest durability level.
Installation methods can be glue-down or loose-lay. Loose lay refers to the sheets just where the sheet hovers over the subfloor with no glue. Subfloors need to be clean, dry, and level.
