Now you might be wondering as to what is this type of flooring made of, well obviously vinyl and as you should have known there are actually different types which is mainly solid vinyl and and composite vinyl. The solid type is made of vinyl sections that are set in a vinyl base and composite vinyl on the other hand is composed of vinyl parts that are embedded in fillers that are not made of vinyl but from other materials. Of course the type where in vinyl is placed in solid vinyl costs more. As you should know, the one that is considered of high quality is a flooring that contains much greater amount of vinyl materials.The vinyl flooring should be covered with a sort of wear layer for protection. It can still be made of vinyl or made of urethane that is also good since it is clear and does not have wax covering. Vinyl covering is considered more advantageous since it has high resistance to scratches and stains but one downside of vinyl covering is that it loses its gloss over time compared to the protective covering made of urethane. A glossy floor may look great but they take huge risks of slips and falls or even more hazardous accidents especially when used in the bathroom and the kitchen. But both types of protective covering will wear and become dull during the course of time so regular maintenance will be required such as applying wax.
