What Is Interlocking Vinyl Flooring?

By Paige Cerulli Created: May, 2022

If you’re looking for the durability and aesthetically pleasing design of vinyl, you might be considering flooring that requires installation with adhesive. But if you’re not ready for a permanent installation or want a more DIY-friendly option, you might want to consider using interlocking vinyl flooring, instead.

What Is Interlocking Vinyl Flooring?

Vinyl flooring traditionally comes in planks or rolls, which both need to be cut to fit an area and then glued down. It’s a labor-intensive process and is often best left to a professional.

Interlocking vinyl flooring is available as planks or tiles, and these individual pieces are designed to click or snap together. They might feature grooves or interlocking puzzle edges or tabs that securely hold the pieces together.

As a result, this interlocking flooring makes for an easier installation. The products are more versatile, too, since many of them can be removed and reinstalled as needed.

Benefits of Interlocking Vinyl Flooring

If you’re considering a new floor for your home or commercial space, there are multiple reasons to consider interlocking vinyl flooring.

Durability of Vinyl


With interlocking vinyl flooring, you’ll enjoy that beautiful luxury finish of vinyl in an easy-to-use form. Vinyl is strong enough to withstand residential and commercial use, and vinyl products often feature long warranties and lifespans.

Waterproof Design


Many interlocking vinyl flooring products are also waterproof, so you can install them in locations like a mudroom, basement, or garage. That waterproof design makes for easy care and maintenance, and it also contributes to the floor’s durability.

Easy Installation


Because these modular planks and tiles snap together, they offer a much easier installation than traditional vinyl flooring products, which often require adhesive. These interlocking products can be dry laid and are DIY-friendly, saving you the time and money of hiring a professional to install them.

Since the flooring can be dry laid, it is suitable as a long-term and a temporary flooring choice. This adds versatility to the space, allowing you to renovate it and easily remove the flooring in the future as needed.

Variety of Finish Options


Vinyl flooring is available in a wide variety of finishes, including traditional hardwood and luxury designer finishes like marble and granite. The wide variety of finishes makes it easy to choose a product that works with your existing decor or your planned renovation color scheme.
