About Vinyl Flooring: Why It's a Customer Favorite

Vinyl plank flooring and vinyl sheet flooring have become customer favorites for those who prefer simple yet seamless installation. But what makes vinyl flooring so sought after? At Georgia Carpet, we believe that vinyl is not just a flooring type - it is a real-world flooring solution ready for the realities of daily life. LVP and LVT flooring and waterproof LVT flooring are some of our most popular options for residential and commercial spaces because they handle everything from heavy traffic to moisture with ease. These durable flooring materials look great year after year and are remarkably easy to care for. Most designs are pet-proof and kid-proof, which make them great contenders for families and high-traffic areas, handling heavy use without showing any signs of wear. Both businesses and families agree vinyl flooring options from Georgia Carpet are the right fit.

Types of Vinyl Flooring: LVP, Sheet Vinyl and Waterproof LVT Flooring

As one of the reasons for its popularity, vinyl comes in all shapes, sizes and designs. As a tip, before you buy vinyl flooring online, 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.

• Sheet vinyl and linoleum flooring: Linoleum and sheet vinyl belong to the resilient category, yet differentiate each other through multiple features and aspects. For example, a key component of resilient flooring is the wearability of the product. Although the two are manufactured with different materials, linoleum and vinyl are water-resistant, durable flooring options, making them great for wet areas of the home that are often subjected to heavy foot traffic, like kitchens and baths. Linoleum is a cheap flooring option that is used primarily in spec homes. Sheet vinyl is very inexpensive to buy online, making it a go-to choice as a budget-friendly flooring option.
• Vinyl plank and vinyl tile: For a more durable option that's still pretty affordable, DIY-friendly and more aesthetic, consider vinyl plank and vinyl tile flooring. The launch of vinyl plank flooring and luxury vinyl tile has slowly diversified brands' products. As the industry revolutionized and improved flooring options came to the surface to meet the needs of vigorous lifestyles, luxury vinyl plank flooring (or luxury vinyl tile as it's also called) changed the face of the flooring industry. The breakthrough science is its ability to be waterproof and practically dent-proof while offering an array of thicknesses, colors, designs and patterns that meet every home décor and style preference. On top of all that, it's incredibly easy to install, making it an attractive option to the average DIYer or the homeowner looking to save on installation costs. Luxury vinyl plank flooring is often made to look like hardwood, with super-realistic, high-definition flooring options dominating the market and transforming homes.
• LVP: With LVP, your home's flooring can be completely transformed and, at the same time, be almost indestructible to foot traffic. Sheet vinyl and linoleum come in rolls, continuously repeating the same pattern. Yet, luxury vinyl flooring is designed in individual pieces, giving precedence to non-repetitive patterns and allowing for more individualized looks. This makes luxury vinyl tile a wonderful choice for flooring in every room of your home. Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, foyers and laundry rooms: Every room can benefit from this high-quality, durable flooring 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.

Sheet Vinyl vs. Linoleum Roll Flooring

Many use these terms interchangeably, as both vinyl and linoleum roll flooring share similar characteristics. To understand the differences as you think about the best product for your home, consider the following:

• Linoleum flooring: Linoleum arrived first: During the 19^th century, linseed oil, originally used as a paint thinner, was found to create a thin, flexible coating when spread over a surface. Today, linoleum flooring combines linseed oil with other materials to strengthen its composition. As far as appearance is concerned, linoleum roll flooring doesn't have a design printed on top; rather, the texture and color extend through the material.
• Vinyl flooring: Vinyl is a fully synthetic material, made of polyvinyl chloride. While invented in the 1920s, it gained popularity in the 1960s as an alternative to linoleum. Its composition allows a range of patterns, textures and colors to be printed on top and provides better water resistance than linoleum.
