Perhaps you have a picture in your head of linoleum or vinyl flooring that’s of a long ago kitchen floor in grandma’s kitchen? It could have been grey or green or even yellow. You don’t have to replace your floor with something like that. Vinyl flooring and linoleum (and linoleum is now “greener” than ever) comes in a huge variety of gorgeous colors and thicknesses and designs. They even have retro designed linoleum and vinyl if you really do like grandma’s style. Vinyl flooring is enduring and very easy to install. It usually comes in uniform tiles and they are easy to glue down, or even just rip of the backing and voila, they are down. Taking a look online is useful for this type of flooring, because it does come in this huge variety. Imagine trying to compare this flooring in a home store? It would take hours. Check out floormall.com and you’ll see how easy it is.
Vinyl flooring can be inexpensive. There are even patterns that make these tiles look exactly like stone. The normal size is 12″ x 12″ and the boxes are easy to handle. If you get them sent to you after purchasing on the Internet, you can just stack them in a corner until you are ready to use them. Because vinyl flooring can be placed on several surfaces or in several different climates, check out what glue is available. If you are chemically sensitive then some glues offer low or no VOC varieties. Prices vary as do amounts in the container. Don’t buy more than you need as it can deteriorate, but just a little more than you estimate you’ll need. Make sure that your subfloor is smooth and level before you lay the tiles or you could get buckling later. Manufacturers’ recommendations for drying time are on the glue container, and adhesive suggestions always come with the tiles themselves.
Vinyl flooring can even be placed in your garage. It just depends on what will be parked there, or what will be placed on it. Usually, in a garage, homeowners install vinyl flooring in the workshop area. Black and white tiles give an area a retro look, as they would in kitchens. The 1950s is a popular era right know and people who have installed black and white checkerboard vinyl flooring could have colored appliances to go along with it. Stainless steel is also good and that gives a retro, yet modern look, without being too kitschy.
All in all, vinyl flooring is a great product because it’s durable, easy to install, and reasonably priced. If you simply don’t have the time and inclination to do the vinyl flooring installation yourself, then there are a few excellent professionals out there. Take a look at floormall.com. Choosing your patterns and colors is fun, but get help if you need it.
