Installation of Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring is installed by tile, plank or sheet. It can be installed over wood, concrete, old ceramic tiles and just about any traditional underlayment, even non-cushioned vinyl flooring.
* Tile
Tiles are cut to specific dimensions and thickness, to achieve a uniform look. The tiles come in many different designs and patterns. The self-adhesive tiles are the simplest to install by yourself. When tiles break, they are easy to replace.
* Plank
This resembles hard wood flooring. Plank flooring is generally easy for a person to maintain and install. The cost is significantly cheaper than wood flooring.
* Sheet
This type of vinyl comes in self-adhesive. These self-adhesive sheets are cut to your specifications. Sheets also come on a roll. The application of the sheets will vary based on the style of the floor. Sheets are great for areas where there is a lot of moisture.
Wear layering on Vinyl Floors
Wear layering is how vinyl flooring is coated. Vinyl tiles are covered with either urethane, no-wax or enhanced urethane.
* Urethane
Tiles coated with urethane go in areas where there is a normal amount of traffic. It is resistant to scratches and scuffs. It is also easy to clean.
* No-Wax Vinyl
Install this type of coated tile in areas where there is very little traffic with little exposure to the possibility of dirt.
* Enhanced Urethane
The busiest areas, where there is the largest amount of foot traffic, is where to install this type of tile. Despite the amount of traffic, it still maintains its sheen longer than no-wax and regular urethane coated tiles. It is the most resistant to scratches.
