WHAT IS … ?
Cushioned vinyl flooring is a type of speciality flooring that has increasingly gained popularity in recent years, in both the commercial and domestic sectors. This can be made of a range of materials but incorporates some form of absorbing cushion underfoot which makes it much more comfortable to stand and walk on but at the same time, still has a firm feel and an illusion of neatness. Many flooring manufacturers are now offering quality cushioned vinyl flooring in a wide range of styles and colours. The main advantages being their durability, the ease of maintaining, Stain-resistant & Waterproof. Vinyl flooring has to be installed on an a hard solid surface, such as concrete, screed, tiles, ply boards, hard boards or chip boards.
WHY CHOOSE … ?
It may be wise to think about cushioned flooring if you have children in the home as it provides the most safe and comfortable surface for play. Traditionally, this would be provided by thick carpet but problems can arise from heavy wear and tear, spills, stains and other soiling associated with children. Therefore, cushioned flooring might be a better choice. Modern vinyl comes in bright colours, with protective and padded surfaces ideal for children’s play areas. In many instances, it is a better idea to use cushioned vinyl as an alternative to tiles and laminate in kitchens and conservatories, removing the hard surface in which children may have previously slipped and hurt themselves on. Therefore cushioned vinyls have that added and much needed safety factor.
