Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Do you need a floor with the appearance of natural hardwood and the durability of a synthetic product? Oh - and should this flooring also be water resistant, yet visually stunning? While this may sound too good to be true, modern technology has gifted us with vinyl flooring, which shows us how far vinyl has come since its early days. Yes, it may have the texture and appearance of actual stone or wood, but the similarities end there: this floor is easier to maintain, more economical, and virtually indestructible.

At Carpet One Floor & Home in Woodstock, we’re constantly adding to our vinyl flooring inventory as part of our efforts to meet our customers’ evolving needs. We also provide expert services, including vinyl flooring installation.

Types of Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring was originally offered as a single sheet option, but due to advances in technology you can now find luxury vinyl options in plank and tile forms. Vinyl tile flooring is a durable alternative to ceramic and porcelain tile. Vinyl tiles are ideal for their strength, reliability, water-resistance, and easy maintenance. While vinyl tiles often look like traditional, tile, they are warmer and more forgiving underfoot which makes them more ideal than traditional tile. Just like traditional tile, vinyl tiles come in a variety of styles and designs. The selection in our showroom features different patterns, colours, textures and more from which you can choose. They can be installed in challenging areas like kitchens, mudrooms, laundry rooms, and bathrooms.

Vinyl plank flooring is a durable alternative to hardwood and laminate. Vinyl planks were created to mimic the look of genuine hardwood. Most types of vinyl planks feature longer lengths and mixed widths to give off a more realistic illusion. They feature a printed layer that makes them look like hardwood. Usually, you cannot tell the difference between solid hardwood and vinyl planks. They are resistant to moisture, so you won’t have to worry about expansion and contraction with vinyl planks. Unlike hardwood flooring, vinyl planks can take a beating and are designed to withstand daily wear.

Sheet vinyl flooring limits the seams on the surface of the floor. Sheet vinyl happens to be one of the most waterproof options available because there are fewer gaps between sheets which prevents moisture from reaching your subfloor.

Is Vinyl Flooring Waterproof?

You’re remodeling your bathroom and are hoping to coordinate the décor with your living room’s solid pine floors. Great news - vinyl flooring can offer up a near perfect match: but this one won’t wilt when it gets wet. Most vinyl flooring options today feature a degree of resistance to moisture, but we have options that are completely waterproof. Why would you need waterproof flooring? If you have children or pets in your home, you know accidents are inevitable. Things like spills and pet accidents don’t stand a chance again your waterproof flooring. They also cut back time you spend on cleaning them, and you can choose from wood or tile look options.

Vinyl Flooring Installation

A benefit of vinyl flooring is that you can install it anywhere in your home. They are made to look just like a real hardwood or stone floor but are built with resilient qualities. Their durable and resilient qualities also mean they can stand up to most everyday challenges like dirt, scuffs, and spills. Vinyl floors are great for high traffic areas and entryways to your home.

There are different installation options. The traditional glue down option is more permanent, but there are also newer and more time efficient methods as well. There are now floating floor systems that you can walk on the same day and can be installed over most existing floors. What is even better is you can move these floors from room to room as well. Click-lock methods are also simple and quick, and you can walk on your new floors the same day.
