Vinyl Flooring is available in various thicknesses. The thicker the vinyl floor, the more cushion it will provide underfoot. A thicker vinyl floor will also have superior sound dampening properties, reducing impact and traffic noise.

The attractiveness of a vinyl floor is determined by the quality of its design layer. The floor should come with a warranty against fading and discoloration.

The durability of a vinyl floor will depend on its thickness and the quality of its wear layer. A good quality vinyl or urethane wear layer will resist scratches, tears, stains, and other forms of damage.
