When choosing new flooring, consider the newest materials that are available. For instance, if a person wants wood flooring all through a home but worries about water damage in kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms, there is vinyl plank flooring in Phoenix. This versatile flooring is waterproof and looks very like wood flooring or other natural materials. It can even be used in commercial settings. Since it comes in planks like solid wood flooring, it fits any size or shape room.
What Is Vinyl Plank Flooring?
Vinyl plank flooring is a newer offering in the flooring industry. It comes in six- or seven-inch-wide planks that are four foot long and installed using a glue down method or as a floating floor with a click-together installation. Installation technique depends on the quality and collection. This flooring looks like wood but is a wood visual protected by a strong polyurethane finish and supported by a resilient manufactured wear layer. The planks are embossed with realistic textures. This floor material is available in many popular wood patterns and colors.
Is It Like Laminate Flooring?
Vinyl Plank Flooring in Phoenix is similar to laminate flooring in many ways. It comes in planks that click together and has a photographic wood pattern covered with a protective finish. It is applied or laminated to a strong, manufactured base. But, this is like the next generation of resilient plank flooring. The polyurethane finish is a big difference. This is a much stronger finish, allowing the floor to be used in areas of the home or office that involve water such as bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens.
Vinyl plank flooring can come in collections that are meant to be floating floors or in collections meant to be glued down. When a floor like this is glued down, there will be no separating of planks or floor movement. This glued-down flooring will be more impervious to water damage. The wear warranties are longer for residential use, but still impressive for commercial use. These durable floors can be installed over other floors such as wood, ceramic, and tile.
This flooring can be used anywhere a person would use a resilient flooring such as sheet vinyl or vinyl tiles. Contact Precision Flooring for additional information.
