Both vinyl and hardwood flooring have their own unique advantages and disadvantages. Here’s a comparison to help you decide which might be best for your needs:
Vinyl Flooring
Pros:
Cost-Effective: Generally cheaper to purchase and install, with prices ranging from $2 to $8 per square foot.
Waterproof: Ideal for areas prone to moisture like kitchens and bathrooms.
Low Maintenance: Easy to clean and maintain, requiring no special products.
Durability: Resistant to scratches and dents, making it a good option for homes with pets and kids.
Ease of Installation: Can be installed by DIY enthusiasts.
Cons:
Resale Value: Does not add as much value to your home compared to hardwood.
Lifespan: Shorter lifespan compared to hardwood, and cannot be refinished.
Synthetic Look: While it can mimic the look of wood, it doesn’t have the same natural appearance in most cases. However with advances in technology and the supply of top quality Vinyl, The Hardwood Flooring Store's showroom will certainly impress you with the hundreds of samples to choose from.
