Vinyl floors are available in either tile or sheet form for both residential and commercial use. It has also been called “resilient” flooring because it characteristically “bounces back” from the weight of objects that compress its surface. Because resilient floors are durable, easier to maintain and more moisture-resistant than many alternative materials, vinyl is preferred for use in residential kitchens and bathrooms, as well as in commercial and retail establishments.

Because of the design flexibility, it has become a valued design tool for many interior designers and architects. In residences, vinyl can be custom cut and used to create patterns. In commercial areas, it can be cut to depict a corporate logo, or even to guide traffic in a hospital or retail setting. It reduces noise and maintains its beauty under heavy foot traffic. With routine maintenance, the color and original appearance will last for many years to come.
