3 Reasons To Pick High Quality Vinyl Flooring

17 April 2014

There’s plenty of reasons you should avoid cutting corners when it comes to furnishing and decorating your home. For starters, what might initially seem like a cheaper option will often be of a lower quality and therefore just won’t last long at all. Cheap equivalents can be subject to rips and tears even when you’re really careful, so it’s often worth rethinking your budget and saving yourself money in the long run.

So what’s better about high quality options such as Rhinofloor vinyl flooring?

Far better value for money

If the cheap equivalent which you’re currently considering is as good (or better) than a product like Rhinofloor vinyl flooring then we can completely understand why that’s the option that you’d go for.

However, with a lower cost product you can usually be fairly safe in the knowledge that the production values will also be much less, and the materials used will be of a lower quality.

The thickness of the vinyl flooring is usually quite telling. With a thinner floor covering the company is able to make much more coating with the same amount of materials as you would with a more cushioned vinyl. It saves the company money, so they can make a good profit margin on their sheeting or tiles.

The thicker the flooring is, the more likely it is to last longer. Thin and low quality flooring is much more likely to rip and tear (particularly when you move or replace appliances). Another downside is that the pattern tends to only be printed on a very thin layer on the top of the flooring, and if it gets at all scratched or scrapped it will easily come away, leaving less attractive white marks.

More comfortable under foot


When you buy a thicker, more padded floor covering you will see more benefits than just aesthetic ones. For example, Rhinofloor vinyl flooring is thicker and also warmer under your foot than your cheaper options (and lots warmer than something more expensive like stone). It provides an extra layer of insulation, so will help keep your whole room feeling more cosy – and it isn’t quite the end of the world if you forget the old slippers.

Because it’s quite cushioned, you’ll find it’s more forgiving if you accidentally drop something than it would be if you dropped a glass on wood or stone flooring. This also means that it will feel nicer underfoot, with less impact on your limbs than a hard wood, stone, or marble floor would be.

Quality guaranteed

You get what you pay for basically. If you buy a cheap vinyl flooring you’ll get cheap vinyl flooring. That is, a lower quality, less effective product. If your budget allows you should go for something more durable. With quality products such as Rhinofloor vinyl flooring you can choose options which are guaranteed. That is, they will be guaranteed for a number of years (sometimes up for twenty), so you can be fully reassured that you’re buying a product which will last. A bit of wear and tear can be expected, but you shouldn’t get the same scuffs and tears you might expect with the budget options.

Even with something tough and long lasting, the key to getting the most out of your product is looking after it well. It’s really simple to keep your vinyl kitchen flooring looking great though – simple things like placing heavy furniture or appliances on casters will help. Place a doormat by any outside entrances to avoid muddy feet trampling over your lovely floor, and remember that things like stiletto heeled shoes can mark up any type of floor, so are best not worn inside.
