Vinyl is a durable and versatile flooring material that works well in many rooms throughout your home. In homes built or decorated a few decades ago, you’ll often find vinyl floors in the kitchen, but that has fallen out of fashion recently, and understandably so. Vinyl certainly holds up to foot traffic and spills, but in a large room like a kitchen, the shortcomings of vinyl flooring become apparent. However, there are other rooms in your home where vinyl is still a top flooring choice.
Are you considering vinyl floors in your home? Here are three rooms that are well-suited for this flooring material.
Laundry Room
Because it is water-resistant, vinyl flooring is great in any room where spills are likely to happen. Although you hope your washing machine never leaks or overflows, it’s good to know your flooring will hold up. Aside from potential catastrophes, moving clothes from the washer to the dryer or out to the clothesline can drip water on the floor. Floors that resist water and are easy to clean are perfect for a room meant for cleaning up messes.
Basement
Basements have a reputation for being damp, so water resistance is paramount there, too. Whether you use your basement for storage or as a hangout space, floors that stay dray and resist mold growth are preferable. Vinyl is also easy to install over a cement subfloor, so you won’t have to do a lot of prep work. In many homes, the basement also connects to the garage, making it a common route in and out. A flooring material that is easy to clean is best for taking on outdoor messes.
Mudroom
Speaking of outdoor messes, if your home has a mudroom, you know how much dirt your family tracks in from outside. Rather than letting whatever is on your shoes ruin wood floors or expensive tile, go for vinyl in a pleasing pattern. Your entryway will still be a welcoming space for your family and guests, but it will be so much easier to keep clean.
