Vinyl

Understanding the Types of Vinyl Flooring Available

Vinyl is made of polyvinyl chloride, a synthetic material introduced as a more durable alternative to linoleum. A color or pattern is printed on top, and its composition better resists moisture.

The desire for a low-cost, low-maintenance product is why more and more manufacturers are guiding homeowners toward vinyl flooring. In addition to the overall lower cost, vinyl flooring is practical, durable and easy on the budget. Whether you buy planks, sheets or LVT from Georgia Carpet, you'll find tons of great options.

Georgia Carpet carries vinyl flooring in the following forms:

Vinyl Plank and Vinyl Sheet

Wall to wall or piece by piece, vinyl plank and sheet flooring are known for a seamless appearance - making them highly sought after by customers, as well as businesses wanting flooring that holds up to the rigors of foot traffic.

Offering both strength and water resistance, these durable flooring solutions look great year after year and are remarkably easy to care for. Most designs are additionally pet-proof and kid-proof, which make them great contenders for families and high-traffic areas.

As you aspire to a fully tiled or woodgrain surface, get to know the visual possibilities and properties of vinyl sheet and plank flooring.

LVP and Waterproof LVT Flooring

In today's world, homeowners want high-value, low-maintenance flooring and nothing fits the bill quite like luxury vinyl planks, also known as LVP.

The launch of vinyl plank flooring, or luxury vinyl tile (LVT) as it's also called, has diversified the solutions available to homeowners. As the industry revolutionized and developed products in response to the needs of vigorous lifestyles, luxury vinyl plank flooring is a waterproof and practically dent-proof material in an array of thicknesses, colors, designs and patterns that meet every home décor and style preference. On top of all that, luxury vinyl plank flooring is often made to look like hardwood, with super-realistic high-definition details dominating the market and transforming homes.

LVP goes beyond aesthetics, delivering a flooring product that's almost indestructible to foot traffic. As a contrast to sheet vinyl and linoleum, both of which come in rolls and continuously repeat the same pattern, luxury vinyl planks are separate, easily rearranged pieces, allowing for more individualized looks and reducing repetition. This aspect makes luxury vinyl tile a wonderful choice for every room of your home. From bedrooms and bathrooms to kitchens, foyers and laundry rooms, every space benefits from this high-quality, durable surface that can be tailored to fit your style. Like a natural wood look? A vintage-style LVP? Scratch-resistant COREtec LVP? We have it all here at Georgia Carpet at prices you'll love.

Selecting Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl comes in all shapes, sizes and designs, which is probably why it's so popular. Before just ordering any type online, think about the following factors:

1. Make sure you know the differences between sheet or roll vinyl, linoleum and luxury vinyl. That way, you can easily navigate to the flooring brand and type that you need - whether it is a cheap sheet vinyl option, wholesale vinyl plank flooring or a waterproof luxury vinyl flooring product.
2. Evaluate products based on durability and lifestyle. Linoleum and sheet vinylbelong to the resilient category, yet aren't uniform and therefore aren't built for the same areas of your home. A key component of resilient flooring is wearability. Made from linseed oil and PVC respectively, both are water-resistant, durable flooring options, making them great for wet areas that are often subjected to heavy foot traffic, like kitchens and baths. However, linoleum is a cheap flooring option that is used primarily in spec homes. The print or texture also passes all the way through the material. Sheet vinyl is very inexpensive to buy online, making it a go-to choice for budget-friendly flooring, and is intended to provide wall-to-wall coverage. LVT and LVP, meanwhile, provide the same performance characteristics but can be laid down in a broader number of configurations.
