FAQ’s
What is the downside of vinyl flooring?
While vinyl flooring offers many advantages, it’s important to understand its limitations. Vinyl can dent under heavy furniture, especially with cheaper products. Direct sunlight may cause fading over time, which is important to consider for North Bay homes with large windows. While today’s vinyl is more durable than ever, it can’t be refinished like hardwood if damaged. Environmental concerns exist since vinyl isn’t biodegradable. However, most drawbacks relate to lower-quality products – premium vinyl installed by professionals offers excellent long-term performance.
Is it better to do vinyl or laminate flooring?
Both options have their strengths for North Bay homes. Vinyl excels in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and basements because it’s 100% waterproof. Laminate typically offers a more realistic wood look and feels firmer underfoot. While both are budget-friendly, vinyl generally handles water better, while laminate often looks more upscale. Your best choice depends on the room’s purpose, moisture exposure, and your lifestyle. For expert advice on your specific situation, call us at 705-497-4884.
How much does it cost to install 1000 square feet of vinyl floors?
Installation costs vary significantly based on several factors: subfloor preparation needs, type of vinyl chosen (sheet, plank, or tile), room complexity, and current flooring removal requirements. While we don’t sell materials, our installation services are competitively priced. For accurate pricing, we provide free on-site estimates – each project is unique, especially in older North Bay homes that might need additional floor prep. Contact us for a detailed quote specific to your project.
What are the three types of vinyl flooring?
The three main types of vinyl flooring are Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP), Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), and Sheet Vinyl. LVP mimics hardwood with realistic planks and offers excellent durability. LVT replicates stone or ceramic tile, perfect for achieving high-end looks with better comfort underfoot. Sheet vinyl comes in large, seamless pieces ideal for bathrooms and laundry rooms. Each type has its own installation requirements and benefits. Our installation expertise covers all three types, ensuring proper fitting and long-lasting results in your North Bay home.
