5 things to consider before buying a vinyl floor
Before purchasing a vinyl floor, you will need to consider whether the floor suits your needs. Some topics to think about are:
- Budget: do you have your mind set on that authentic wooden floor feel, but lack the budget for a real wood floor? Modern vinyl flooring combines natural looks with comfort, making it a perfect alternative.
- Installation method: Quick-Step vinyl is very easy to install yourself, thanks to the Uniclic system. Rigid vinyl can even be installed over an existing floor, making it ideal for renovations.
- Maintenance: vinyl requires far less maintenance than a real wood floor. Simply vacuum and mop regularly and you’re good to go!
- Durability: Quick-Step vinyl floors are scratch, stain and water resistant. That makes our vinyl flooring the perfect choice for places that are frequently exposed to water or other liquids, like the kitchen or bathroom.
- Environment: not only are our floors inspired by nature, we’re also taking action to minimise our ecological footprint. This includes optimising the sourcing of our materials, minimising waste wherever we can, and investing heavily in recycling.
