The house I'm presently renting as I await my design appointment has vinyl flooring in the kitchen and I rather like it. It is extremely easy to keep clean and has a nice springiness to it. I think vinyl flooring is of better quality with more options these days. I would appreciate any thoughts on this.
Tile cost more but many homes in TV have vinyl flooring. Our Villa had vinyl and we liked it just fine----also, many designer homes have vinyl and no problem as a matter of fact it can look like tile.
