Kitchen floors have a lot to deal with – food and drink spills, muddy footprints, sink splashes and much more. While tiles have long been a popular choice for household kitchens, they have a number of disadvantages. They can be damaged when heavy items are dropped on them, are cold to walk on and can be extremely expensive, particularly if you have a large kitchen. This is where vinyls – such as Quick Step Livyn – come in. More affordable than tiles and easier to install, vinyl floor coverings offer a number of advantages over other options.
Easy to Clean
Vinyls such as Quick Step Livyn are extremely easy to clean. This makes them a practical and hygienic choice for busy family kitchens. Most spills can be taken care of with a quick wipe of a damp cloth, while thorough cleaning can be quickly achieved with a regular mop. If you’ve got pets or your kitchen opens out on to the garden; meaning it has to withstand lots of muddy feet or paw prints – vinyl is the perfect low maintenance choice. As vinyl is waterproof, you don’t need to buy expensive specialist products just soap and water will do the job in most cases.
Comfortable to Walk On
As vinyl is softer and more padded than other floor coverings, it’s far more comfortable to walk on. It isn’t cold either, like tiles, so you’ll be just as comfortable barefoot. And any dropped crockery or drinkware will be less likely to break than if you dropped it on a harder surface.
Huge Range of Designs
One of the biggest advantages of opting for vinyl flooring is that it’s possible to get just about any finish you want. Modern vinyls can replicate the look of tiles or wood so effectively that it’s often hard to tell the difference. This is good news if you have a specific colour or style in mind and it means you won’t have to compromise on the finished appearance of your kitchen.
