4. MAINTENANCE

• While vinyl sheet flooring is easy to sweep, mop or dry clean, it turns into a costly proposition in case a part or a section of the flooring has formed cracks or bubbles. This is certainly not a DIY job. Even if a specialist replaces the damaged portion, it may never offer the old appearance, a similar granular / pattern continuity. Changing the entire flooring will turn into a pricey affair. Planks on the other hand are easy to replace. Moreover, even if the replaced planks have different grains / patterns it makes little difference to the overall aesthetics.

• Tip — Opt for planks if you are concerned about post installation/ maintenance cost.

5. LOOKS / APPEARANCE

• Roll form vinyl flooring tends to look cheap, unappealing and unreal. In contrast, planks with its distinct pattern / texture look attractive when laid out creatively. To a naked eye planks appears genuine wood / stone, depending on the chosen texture. If you are a fan of hardwood or pricey natural stones but running short on budget, then vinyl based planks is your perfect alternative.

• Tip — If you want the flooring to look natural, authentic then opt for planks.

• Choice of vinyl flooring whether sheet or plank is a matter of personal taste and budget. However, as a property owner, make sure you follow the above pointers to make an informed decision. For more details and support connect with Responsive Industries’ technical team.
