Today in “What’s New at USA Flooring”, we are exploring the vast number of options for the consumer today in affordable vinyl flooring. Vinyl flooring in the past was very limited in styles and durability. Most of the vinyl flooring in the past was felt-backed as well, which had a tendency to peel. Which many people remember in their kitchens and bathrooms. Today that is not the case. Customers can now choose vinyl flooring with fiberglass backing that is much more durable and does not curl up.
Many people confuse the linoleum flooring of the past with vinyl flooring today. Linoleum is more of a natural product made of linseed oil and cork. Vinyl is a man-made product that was discovered in the 1920’s by a scientist attempting to create an adhesive. It is much more durable than the old linoleum floors.
When selecting the right vinyl flooring product for your project, always consider how high is your traffic area. Vinyl flooring comes in many different wear levels, so you’ll want to select a high wear level to suit your needs.
