When it comes to stylish and durable flooring, vinyl plank and laminate are often the top choices for homeowners and businesses alike. Here’s a closer look at what makes each type of flooring unique.
Vinyl plank flooring is a smart investment due to its balance of style, practicality, and affordability.
While it may not increase property values to the extent that hardwood does, it offers a modern, attractive option that appeals to both buyers and renters. Its low maintenance and durability make it a valuable addition to any property, especially for high-traffic areas or rental properties.
Key Benefits of Vinyl Plank :
- Waterproof – Vinyl’s water resistance makes it ideal for moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways, reducing the risk of water damage and moud.
- Durable – Vinyl plank is built to withstand heavy foot traffic, pets, and spills, making it perfect for busy households. Some vinyl flooring is even commercially rated for high-use areas.
- Low Maintenance – Unlike natural materials like wood, vinyl doesn’t need regular polishing or refinishing. A quick clean is usually enough to keep it looking great.
- Acoustic Properties – Products like Native Vinyl provide excellent sound reduction with a Delta IIC rating of 16 dB, making them ideal for multi-storey homes, apartments, or offices where noise control is important.
