Wood Look Vinyl Flooring

The Appeal Of  Wood Look Vinyl Flooring

The range of styles, applications and colors available have meant that wood look vinyl flooring is more popular with homeowners than ever. Over the last two decades or so, technological and production improvements have led to advancements in vinyl flooring that actually looks like wood, and arguably it has even overtaken wood in terms of its practicality, value and durability.

Plank and tile wood look vinyl flooring is now as widely available as sheet vinyl, meaning that vinyl doesn’t just look somewhat like wood, but it actually manages to replicate the feel and appearance of actual wood. It has become just about impossible to tell the difference between vinyl flooring and real wood.

One large photograph that is repeated is often used for the image on sheet vinyl, as it tends to be available in six feet wide rolls. This somewhat dated technology is perhaps more apparent in a larger area, rather than in the smaller rooms in your home, where it isn’t really noticeable.

However, tile and plank vinyl flooring doesn’t have this issue of the same pattern repeating over and over again as advances in production have meant that more photographs can be used over a larger number of smaller pieces. And any irregularities in the subflooring can be more effectively hidden, due to the increased thickness of tiles and planks – 3mm instead of 2mm.

The shape of planks and tiles allow a greater variety of photographs to be used, and they also more accurately replicate the shape of wooden flooring.

Wood look vinyl flooring also actually feels like real wood, thanks to these advances in technology and production, another big advantage for many homeowners. The clear layer of vinyl commonly now incorporates a realistic texture that actually feels like wood grain.

If you are looking for the right flooring for your home, but don’t want to spend money on real wood flooring, you will be pleasantly surprised at the look and feel of wood look vinyl flooring.

For many, it has now become the obvious choice for a floor covering, as it not only looks and feels authentic but it is also more affordable, durable and requires little in the way of maintenance.

And there are plenty of possibilities when it comes to customising the vinyl flooring or finding the perfect color. It may be time to consider wood look vinyl flooring if you are thinking of replacing your flooring.
