Types of Resilient Vinyl Flooring
There are several categories of vinyl, and while all are grouped as “resilient,” they have very different methods of installation and merits.
Sheet vinyl:
This is the most common form, consisting of a thin flexible sheets of vinyl bonded with a printed design and transparent wear layer.
Sheet vinyl flooring comes in 6 -12 foot wide rolls, which means that it can be laid with few seams.
This makes it the best (and cheapest) form of vinyl for wet locations, such as bathrooms.
Sheet vinyl is installed with a glue-down bond, but there are forms that are installed with just a perimeter bond.
This product is largely the same as sheet vinyl, except it is sold in boxes of square pieces, which are either glued down with troweled-on adhesive or by a pre-applied adhesive exposed when a peel-off backing is removed.
Resilient vinyl tiles:

Vinyl Lvt Floor does not get cold in the winter and it is generally softer beneath your feet than wood or ceramic tile floors.
Some products also have a padded underlayer that can make walking on these floors even more comfortable.
Vinyl flooring is an excellent choice in rooms where moisture-resistance and easy cleanup is needed, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Vinyl is an economical flooring choice—and it is recognized as such by real estate professionals.
In most cases, this is not a flooring that will add real estate value to your home.
An exception is luxury vinyl, which has more prestige than standard vinyl and is a better choice if high-end look.
But be aware that this is not a “green” choice if you are concerned about the environment.
Thing to Know about its Components
The chemicals used in the manufacture of vinyl flooring could cause a toxic out-gassing.
This can release volatile chemicals into a household, which may lead to respiratory problems, eye irritation, or asthma reactions.
The level of outgassing in a vinyl floor will be related to its chemical makeup and its age.
For this reason, it’s important to check if the Flooring is chemical-free, pet, and child friendly.
