Vinyl flooring has been around for over seven decades, and there are many good reasons for this. It’s affordable and easy to maintain. But while it has been around for a long time that does not mean it isn’t keeping up with the modern market. There have been considerable advances in vinyl technology in recent years, making it an excellent and stylish choice for any home flooring. If you are looking for new flooring that is durable as well as being water and stain resistant, then vinyl flooring is an excellent option to consider.
The print quality of vinyl is now of an incredibly high standard. Such quality means that you can obtain a stylish oak wood finish that is almost indiscernible in appearance from a real wood floor. Similar finishes can also be achieved for stone, tile and any other type of wood grain finish that you may desire.

While scratches can happen, they can also easily be repaired.
For bathrooms, another factor to consider is the warmth underfoot. Vinyl floors can provide a layer of insulation, making your home more energy-efficient and also less cold on those bare feet when stepping out of a bath or shower. Some brands are even compatible with underfloor heating.
