Flooring is something that is mostly ignored during a home redesign or in new
construction. We tend to forget that a great floor can elevate your overall living
experience. Without a great floor, any amount spent on the interiors would end up on the
dull side.

cons.
In this post, we will help you understand the pros and cons.
Pros of Luxury Vinyl Flooring:
Vinyl Floors Can Be Easily Installed
Vinyl flooring is slowly progressing towards being more DIY friendly. Tiles and planks do
not need any sawing or hammering unlike the vinyl sheets of the past. Most brands offer
vinyl floors with the self-adhesive option that can be installed by just removing the back
layer. There are vinyl tiles and vinyl planks that come with the click n lock technology
(exclusively for Welspun tiles) which does not require any sort of gluing as well.

traditional wooden floors or marble and granite floors. There are additional savings when
you consider the low maintenance requirements, unlike the traditional floors.

for you.
Cons of Luxury Vinyl Flooring:
Vinyl Can Be Of Inconsistent Quality
Even though we are talking about luxury vinyl floors, the quality does vary across brands.
With so many varieties available in the market, it’s important to choose the right kind in
terms of thickness, quality of material used & most importantly the requirement to
achieve a perfect finish.
Some Types of Luxury Vinyl Flooring May Be Difficult to Remove

glued to the floor. A good strategy to remove such floors would be to cut them down into
strips before you start removing them.
