Vinyl

There are hundreds of styles and colors to choose from and a number of options that make vinyl workable for most any budget. Vinyl floors are known for their easy care and cleaning, and are generally wear-resistant. They “give” when you walk on them, which creates a soft, comfortable feel underfoot.
There are two basic types of vinyl materials. The majority of vinyl floors have a photographic image that is printed on the material and protected by a wear layer. The other type of vinyl is Inlaid Color. Built from the backing up, it involves the layering of millions of vinyl color granules. Through hand cut stencils, the layers are placed one on top of another. The result is a handcrafted look. Choose from sheet vinyl, vinyl tile, or vinyl plank.
