What’s the difference between vinyl flooring and laminate flooring?
Vinyl and laminate are two popular flooring options. Some of the key differences between them include:
Vinyl Flooring Laminate Flooring Material Most vinyl flooring is made using PVC (polyvinyl chloride) which provides qualities such as flexibility, durability and colour. Most laminate flooring is made using a high-density fiberboard (HDF) core and a photographic layer that’s covered with a protective layer of melamine resin. Durability Vinyl flooring is known for its impressive durability. It’s therefore popular in high traffic areas such as offices and schools. Whilst laminate flooring is also durable. When compared to vinyl alternatives, it’s more susceptible to scratches and other wear and tear. Appearance We offer vinyl flooring in a wide variety of patterns and colours. These closely imitate natural materials such as wood or stone, giving a luxurious feel to your flooring. Similarly, laminate flooring is also available in different patterns and colours that accurately depict natural materials like wood and stone. Water Resistance In general, vinyl flooring offers better water resistance. Certain luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) are perfectly suited to tolerate high moisture environments. By comparison, laminate flooring is not as water resistant as vinyl and you might experience warping or stains if used in high moisture environments.
