Vinyl tiles are a good value because they are long-lasting and less expensive than ceramic tile or hardwood flooring, even though they can create a very similar look. For those on a budget, vinyl tiles are a smart choice.

Luxury vinyl tile has a textured surface option which makes them look even more like stone or wood. When installed correctly, it may be difficult to tell the difference between LVT and natural products. They are also are softer than stone tiles or wood floors. The layer of felt underneath makes it a bit more flexible and comfortable on the feet when standing. LVT has an added layer to protect it from scratches and scuffs, making it thicker and even more comfortable.

These tiles are also very durable and able to withstand a lot of traffic. Many vinyl tile manufacturers offer warranties of 15 years or longer and some offer lifetime guarantees. When properly installed, vinyl tiles should last 20 years or more.

Many people choose vinyl tiles because they are easy to install. In many cases, vinyl tiles can be installed right over top of existing floors, eliminating the need to remove the old floor. Vinyl tile can also be installed right over the subfloor. It is a good choice where there are cracks in the floor or if there may be movement on the floor.
