Sheet vinyl is waterproof and many LVP\/LVP options like Mohawk SolidTech are water-resistant or waterproof too.<\/p>\n Did you know?<\/strong> Some hardwood flooring companies like DuChateau now make luxury vinyl flooring that is a near exact match to their hardwood options. The idea is to install hardwood flooring in dry areas and use the LVP for kitchen flooring, bathroom flooring and other potentially wet area.<\/p>\n This vinyl flooring cost estimator covers costs for sheet vinyl and luxury vinyl floor prices with pricing details for both.<\/p>\n Cost factors are explained, so you\u2019ll have a clear idea of what to expect when you shop for vinyl floors or get estimates from installers. Our library of flooring cost guides give you the opportunity to compare flooring material and installation cost. Like other readers have, you\u2019re invited to return to Business Finance News to share your vinyl flooring price to benefit others.<\/p>\n There are two sets of factors \u2013 those related to the flooring you select and to its installation.<\/p>\n Here are cost ranges for the two flooring types and a few common tools and installation supplies.<\/p>\n Because price varies so much, we put together more cost data to help you estimate your project cost.<\/p>\n These are installed costs.<\/p>\n Sheet Vinyl:<\/p>\n Luxury Vinyl Plank and Tile:<\/p>\n As noted, the amount of flooring you have installed makes a difference on cost per square foot. For example, Homewyse estimates that having 1,000 square feet of flooring installed will lower the cost by 60 cents to almost $1.00 per square foot vs. having just 100 square feet installed. Their range for 100 square feet is $6.40-$9.10 per square foot; the range for 1,000 square feet is $5.80-$8.15.<\/p>\n Job difficulty affects cost too. Lots of trimming in a bathroom increases cost compared with installing sheet or LVP\/LVT in a large, open room.<\/p>\n Here are sample costs for 3 project types for each floor material.<\/p>\n Entryway: 50 square feet (Moderately Hard)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Bathroom floor: 150 square feet (Difficult)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Kitchen flooring: 300 square feet (Relatively Easy)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Entryway: 50 square feet (Moderately Hard)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Bathroom floor: 150 square feet (Difficult)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Kitchen flooring: 300 square feet (Relatively Easy)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Some installations might cost a little more than this, but these prices are consistent among estimating sites. Remodeling Expense estimates labor as high as $6.00 per square foot, but that would be unusual.<\/p>\n The cost to remove old carpet or floating vinyl floors usually ranges from $2.00 to $4.00 per square foot. Fully glued vinyl is time consuming to remove and can exceed $5 per square foot when glued to concrete. If it\u2019s attached to wood underlayment, the flooring and underlayment will be removed. New underlayment can be installed for $1.25 \u2013 $2.50 per square foot.<\/p>\n Experienced contractors install 45 -60 square feet of LVP\/LVT per hour. Sheet vinyl goes about twice as fast depending on the layout and amount of trimming.<\/p>\n Homeowners with decent skills can install either type of flooring. While vinyl sheet flooring installs faster, it\u2019s trickier in that you only get one shot at cutting it right. Cut a plank too short, and you\u2019ll probably be able to use it somewhere else.<\/p>\n Because installation labor on sheet vinyl is only about a buck per square foot, I think it makes sense to let a pro do it. I\u2019ve done it, but never enjoyed it.<\/p>\n On the other hand, I have enjoyed installing LVP and watching the floor take shape. Sure, a few planks got mis-cut, but it\u2019s part of the learning curve \u2013 and it\u2019s a short curve.<\/p>\n For either type, watch a tutorial \u2013 this one on sheet vinyl installation is very thorough \u2013 and, if installing planks or tiles, read and carefully follow their included directions.<\/p>\n And remember to bring the flooring into the house 3-4 days ahead of installation to acclimatize. If it\u2019s sheet vinyl, roll out the vinyl the day before to let it relax.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $1.85 \u2013 $7.60 Per Square Foot Installed The cost to have a professional install vinyl flooring is between $1.85 to $7.60 per square foot.
