Vinyl Tile

Homeowners who have not kept up with today's technology probably do not know that contemporary vinyl tiles are not even in the same ballpark as the vinyl of the 70's and 80's. Modern vinyl tile is resilient and at the lower end of the pricing spectrum. It lasts for years and is easy to maintain. If, by chance, one tile gets ruined, you can replace one tile without having to replace the entire floor.

According to HGTV "Vinyl floor has more depth and texture today than it did a generation ago, so it can look like hardwood, tile, and stone, and it comes in a variety of colors. Vinyl is soft underfoot, so it's comfortable to stand on for long periods. It's also warmer to the touch than hard surfaces like tile. Vinyl comes in various levels of gloss so you can get a range of looks."
