Joy of Vinyl

September 2019

New technologies, materials and designs have made vinyl popular for condo flooring both in-suite and for common areas.  It is more durable, practical and visually attractive.

Newer vinyl patterns include impressions of natural material.  A vinyl floor can now feel similar to a wood floor.  Vinyl can also be made to feel like concrete or slate.

Today’s vinyl offers advantages over other products.  It is easier to maintain than natural materials and is water resistant.  Vinyl stands up better to scratches, stains and scuffs thus making it a practical option for high traffic areas.  Cleaning is limited to sweeping and mopping.  Installation is faster and easier.

Vinyl offers a practical alternative to carpeting which is harder to clean and retains smells.

Vinyl flooring offers the look and feel of natural materials without the higher cost of installation and maintenance.
