Vinyl Flooring

There are a few different types of vinyl flooring available on the market. Each has its pros and cons.

The most common type is sheet vinyl, which comes in large rolls that we can cut to fit any room. Sheet vinyl flooring is durable and can last many years with proper care. It is easy to clean and maintain. It is also relatively inexpensive. However, it can be challenging to install and repair if it becomes damaged. It is also not as environmentally friendly as some other types of flooring.

There is also tile vinyl, which comes in smaller tiles that we can lay in various patterns. Some pros include its durability, water resistance, and easy maintenance. However, some of the cons include its coldness and hardness underfoot, as well as the fact that it can be slippery when wet. Overall, tile vinyl flooring is a good option for those looking for a durable and low-maintenance option.

Lastly, there is this plank vinyl. It comes in long, thin strips that we can lay down in a wood-like pattern. One of the pros is that it is a very durable type of flooring, which means it can withstand a lot of wear and tear. It is also easy to clean and maintain. The cons of plank vinyl flooring include that it can be slippery and not as durable as other types of flooring, which can be damaged by water.

Vinyl flooring is available in various designs, colours, and patterns, making it challenging to decide which one to choose. The vinyl flooring designs can affect the overall look and feel of the space, as well as the durability of the flooring.

For example, if you want a more natural look, you may choose vinyl flooring with a wood grain design. If you want something more modern, you may pick vinyl flooring with a geometric design. Selecting vinyl flooring with a bold or busy pattern may not be the best choice for high-traffic areas, as the pattern can become worn or fade over time.

You also need to consider what kind of look you are going for and whether you want the flooring to be a focal point or blend in with the rest of the room.

You need to consider the size and shape of the room. If the room is small, you might want to select a lighter colour of vinyl flooring to make the space appear larger. You can choose a darker vinyl flooring colour to create a cosier feel if the room is large. The room size will affect how much vinyl flooring you need to purchase.

An area’s traffic is a significant factor to consider when selecting vinyl flooring. High-traffic areas will see more wear and tear on the flooring, so a more durable option is necessary. Conversely, low-traffic areas won’t see as much wear and tear, so a less durable option may be sufficient.

The type of material the subfloor is made of (e.g. plywood, concrete, etc.) will affect what kind of vinyl flooring we can use. The condition of the subfloor is also essential – if it’s uneven or has holes, that will need to be addressed before installation.

If you are installing vinyl flooring over an existing floor, you must ensure that the surface is level and free of debris.

The amount of light a room gets can affect how you select vinyl flooring.

For example, if a room gets a lot of natural light, you might want to consider lighter-coloured vinyl flooring to help brighten the space. Conversely, if a room doesn’t get much natural light, you might want to select a darker-coloured vinyl flooring to help create a cosier feel.

The climate in Singapore is tropical, which means it is hot and humid all year round. This climate can cause problems with traditional vinyl flooring, as it can warp and buckle due to heat and humidity. However, vinyl flooring products are now explicitly designed for use in tropical climates like Singapore.
