Vinyl flooring has taken on a whole new level of realism. With the
look of real slate, limestone, wood, cork, sisal and linen, a dramatic
depth of texture with realistic finishes. You just won't believe it's
vinyl sheet flooring.
When selecting your sheet vinyl there are 10 points to consider upon
purchase.
1 - Flooring selection
Your floor should compliment rather than dominate other design elements in
the room. The floor should serve as a backdrop to the overall design
scheme.
2 - Color
Sheet vinyl comes in a wide range of colors, in the latest trends. Color
can create a particular mood or interest to a room. You may want to choose
a color that coordinates with your countertop, wallpaper, etc..
3 - Traffic pattern
What room will the floor go in? Do you have pets and/or kids? Are there
doors to the outside?
4 - Light
Always view your floor in the same lighting that will be used in your
home. We suggest taking a sample home for approval.
5 - Creating drama
If you want to add interest in your room, choose a floor with lots of
visual depth such as a rustic slate or stone, with a possible metallic
finish.
6 - Design and style
Choose your floor covering to coordinate with the style you like. Whether
your home is traditional, contemporary or country, your floor can make a
statement. Rustic looks are perfect with colonial or country decors, while
geometric look best with contemporary interiors. Polished marbles or
ancient stone designs look positively beautiful with traditional decors.
7 - Scale and pattern
When coordinating a floor with wallpaper, the rule of thumb to follow is
if the wallpaper is large scale, select a small scale on the floor and
vice versa. To combine several patterns, choose one small, one medium and
one large pattern for best results.
8 - Room size
If your room is small, select a lighter color to make the room appear
larger. However, dark, rich tones absorb light and create a more warmer,
intimate environment in a large room.
9 - Existing Furniture and cabinets
Be sure to choose a color to either contrast or coordinate with your
current furnishings and cabinetry.
10 - Relax
A good quality resilient floor is a secure choice, both as an investment
and a reflection of your decorating style.
Choosing Your Resilient Floor
Visual
Pattern, color, texture and gloss combine to determine your floors visual
appeal
Gloss
Lower gloss levels are a more forgiving floor in respect to daily wear of
foot traffic. For high-traffic rooms, it is best to choose a low to medium
gloss finish.
Wearlayer Thickness
The thickness of the wearlayer affects the performance as it protects the
actual pattern. A floor with a thick wearlayer is recommended for rooms
with high traffic patterns such as kitchens.
Overall Thickness
The thickness of the floor determines its performance. Thicker floors
provide more indentation resistance and comfort under foot.
Warranty
Most vinyl flooring now extend warranties that cover rips, tears and
gouges from normal everyday use, along with the warranty.
There's a lot more to selecting a floor that you like than
just finding a pattern and style that you like.
