It can be installed as tiles that are adhered to an underlayment with adhesive. Vinyl flooring is durable, easy to clean and maintain, water resistant, and provides a cost effective flooring alternative to materials like wood or tile. Proper subfloor preparation and installation by a trained professional is required for vinyl flooring to ensure it lies flat without bubbles or damage.
