Pros and Cons of Getting a Vinyl Floor

When remodeling a room, one decision you have to make is what material you want the floors to be. While vinyl isn't as popular a choice as hardwood or tile, that doesn't mean it might not be a good option for you. Here we discuss some of the pros and cons of having a vinyl floor.

Pros:

• Relative to other materials, vinyl is inexpensive to have installed. Prices usually vary from $1 to $5 per square foot.   
• Vinyl doesn't transfer sound. Installing vinyl in your laundry room can held reduce sound from your laundry machines.

Cons:

• While vinyl can be made to look like wood or tile, most people believe it doesn't look as good. 
• Vinyl dents easily and can be a challenge to clean.
