They can be designed to look like wood, tile or marble. They\u2019re inexpensive and have long been one of the most popular flooring materials.<\/p>\n<p>Vinyl floors are available in three forms: planks, tiles or sheets. They can be installed right over many types of flooring, including plywood, subfloors, concrete, wood and existing vinyl. <\/p>\n<h4>Vinyl Flooring Costs<\/h4>\n<p>Vinyl flooring costs anywhere between $.50 and $5 per square foot. Most vinyl falls in the low-to-mid part of that price range &#8211; $5 per square foot is a lot to pay for vinyl. Installation costs another $1 to $2 per square foot. <\/p>\n<h4>Pros of Vinyl<\/h4>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Fairly durable<\/strong> &#8211; Holds up well to foot traffic and is moisture resistant, making it a good choice for bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Quiet<\/strong> &#8211; Has a soft surface that won\u2019t create much noise.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Affordable<\/strong> &#8211; Among the least expensive of flooring options.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Many design options<\/strong> &#8211; Available in a wide variety of styles, colors and designs; often designed to mimic others types of flooring.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n      <\/ul>\n<h4>Cons of Vinyl<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"last\">&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Prone to fading<\/strong> &#8211; Years of direct sunlight can significantly fade the color of your vinyl floors.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Damaged by heavy\/sharp objects <\/strong>&#8211; If you drop a heavy object or a knife, you\u2019ll have to live with a visible dent or scratch. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Not great for resale value<\/strong> &#8211; Most buyers aren\u2019t excited about vinyl floors; the floors won\u2019t boost your resale value and might even hurt it. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n      <\/ul>\n<h4>Laminate Flooring Overview<\/h4>\n<p>Laminate offers a similar look to hardwood at a much lower price point. The product is engineered using multiple layers of synthetic materials that are fused together. The top layer is designed to mimic hardwood. <\/p>\n<h4>Laminate Flooring Costs<\/h4>\n<p>Laminate flooring is slightly more expensive than vinyl. It sells for anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot, although most varieties fall closer to the $2 to $4 price range. Occasionally, you\u2019ll see high-quality laminates priced up to $7 per square foot. Installation costs an extra $1 to $5 per square foot. <\/p>\n<h4>Pros of Laminate<\/h4>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Durable<\/strong> &#8211; Great for high-traffic areas and homes with kids and pets; the hard top layer makes it scratch-resistant and easy to clean.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Easy to install<\/strong> &#8211; Some varieties offer glue-free, tongue-and-groove assembly that is ideal for do-it-yourselfers.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Resale value <\/strong>&#8211; Better for resale value than vinyl, although it won\u2019t command as much as authentic hardwood.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n      <\/ul>\n<h4>Cons of Laminate<\/h4>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li><strong>Fewer design options<\/strong> &#8211; There are fewer colors, designs and textures available then with vinyl or hardwood.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Noisy<\/strong> &#8211; Walking over laminate flooring creates a lot of noise, which can be particularly unappealing if you have kids or pets.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Not hardwood <\/strong>&#8211; Some buyers will insist on hardwood. Not everyone considers laminate a good substitute for the real stuff.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li> <strong>Can\u2019t be refinished<\/strong> &#8211; Unlike hardwood, you can\u2019t sand and refinish laminate floors to remove scratches, scuffs and dents. As with vinyl, the floors have to be replaced. <\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n      <\/ul>\n<p class=\"author\"><strong>Author:<\/strong> Ashley Smith<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<!--\n\n<h3 class=\"ctalower\">Find Laminate or Vinyl Companies Who Will Compete for Your Business<\/h3>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t <iframe class=\"homeadvisor\"  height=\"1500\" border=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeadvisor.com\/ext\/14857190?gatc=KompareItIframe\" align=\"top\" marginwidth=\"2\" marginheight=\"2\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>--><!--\n\n<div id=\"disqus_thread\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.<\/noscript>-->\n              <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vinyl Floors Overview Vinyl floors are highly versatile.
