Vinyl flooring is a resilient type of flooring available in many different forms for different applications. Greatmats stocks a variety of vinyl floors, including luxury vinyl planks, luxury vinyl tiles, commercial sheet vinyl, protective vinyl floor covers, and vinyl-covered mats. The vinyl material is often stain-resistant.
Vinyl sheet flooring is appropriate for a multitude of applications, including for professional dancers, sports courts, boats, aircraft, and other specialty vehicles. This type of flooring often utilizes glue-down installation and is sold in full rolls, by the linear foot, or by the square foot.
Vinyl tiles are available in DIY snap-together modular form or as a peel-and-stick tile.
Luxury vinyl planks generally click together as a floating floor, but some are available in a self-adhesive form.
Tiles, planks, and sheet vinyl floors commonly offer a wood look, a stone look, or a specialized embossed pattern. Wood- and stone-look vinyl flooring consist of a photographic surface layer that is one of the highest-quality forms of laminate flooring.
Homeowners use LVT and LVP flooring systems to add class and style to a living room, kitchen, bedroom, mudroom, and more. Sheet vinyl is more common in commercial or retail settings.
Vinyl floor covers are designed to cover large areas of hardwood flooring to protect it against heavy foot traffic, furniture, and equipment.
Vinyl-covered mats offer a high-quality vinyl cover over a foam core.

Vinyl Flooring Q&A
Is waterproof vinyl flooring possible?
Yes, it delivers outstanding protection against moisture problems. Some people will choose to install it in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, where dampness may seep through the concrete walls or subfloors.
Do you need underlayment for vinyl flooring planks?
No, an underlayment does not need to be laid down before installation. Place the planks directly over the subfloor, and they will stay in place nicely. Any subfloors must be free of debris, allowing the glue on the planks to take solid hold.
What is the disadvantage of peel and stick vinyl flooring?
Sometimes, the adhesive on peel and stick vinyl tile will not adhere properly to concrete if the area has not been thoroughly cleaned to remove dry debris. Once swept and cleaned, the adhesive should work nicely.
What type of vinyl basement flooring is best?
In basements that are often exposed to dampness, interlocking types are a great pick, such as
TileFlex. It maintains integrity in damp conditions.
