What is vinyl plank flooring made of?
Vinyl plank flooring is comprised mostly of polyvinyl chloride (PVC for short).
The material is highly prized as a an inexpensive and durable material, so much in fact that it is quickly replacing wood in many types of manufacturing. Vinyl siding is one example of PVC replacing wood because of durability and cost. Wood simply can't compete with it's durability and cost effective manor of production.
How long will vinyl plank flooring last?
The longevity of your floor is going to depend heavily on the amount of traffic it receives, and other factors such as care and maintenance that you give it. However, you can expect a Pergo laminate floor to outlast many other flooring options, especially rolled linoleum. As a matter of fact, many vinyl plank flooring manufacturers guarantee their product for 7 years or more. Not many other products in this age come with 7 year warranties.
Is Pergo laminate flooring easy to install?
This great building product is super easy to install, even for those unfamiliar with much carpentry work.
Depending on the manufacturer, the planks are often designed to simply snap together without significant work. Many claim that you can easily install Pergo/laminate flooring over your previous tile or sheet poly floors instead of taking the time to remove them. Laying out a floor in this method is fast, efficient, and easy.
Are vinyl (Pergo) planks better than wooden planks?
The question of whether a PVC or hardwood flooring setup best often arises when people are making a flooring decision. Unfortunately, with price aside, there really is not definitive answer to this question. One thing to consider when choosing a flooring system is which one is going to require the most ongoing maintenance, what the maintenance will cost, and how much time it will take from your schedule.
