Bought my home a couple of years ago and had the vinyl and carpet replaced before moving in. Was the best decision I made. Went with the luxury planks and it looks brand new.

It’s wonderful and I wish I had it through my house and no carpet. It’s cleaner than tile and warmer in the winter. My two cents.

One problem with rolled vinyl is that after a few years, the adhesive will fail and you will get air bubbles. If you only have a few bubbles, you can use a sewing needle and hammer to make tiny holes to let the air escape, and use a syringe to inject glue under the bubble. Then place a heavy object, like several books over the bubble. It also helps to use a hair dryer to heat the adhesive. But, over time, you may have too many air bubbles to deal with.

Tile can chip and crack. Grout collects dirt and stains. Tile is hard on your body. Most flooring options have negatives. Our LVP was scratched by our builder. Good luck!

When I house hunt my first requirement is NO tile floors, unless the bathroom has it. Tile is cold, cracks, dings and looks like it belongs in a commercial building to me...not to mention how grungy the grout gets. I have a suggestion, before you tear out any floors, if the ceilings are popcorn, have them scraped onto the current floors before you do anything else. Then simply roll up the floors and out goes the popcorn. So much better than waiting til you have furniture in. As others have said, go with luxury vinyl tile.

LVP is the most popular but now there are better options than LVP or laminate for a little more. LL flooring website is a good place to see the latest options. |

Get Luxury Vinyl Plank is you can. Looks like real wood, waterproof and many brands have a lifetime warranty in residential applications. Our whole home has it, except the bedrooms where I like soft carpeting on my feet!

Interesting comparison here: Linoleum Flooring Buying Guide: Types And Prices – Forbes Advisor Partial clip: Often confused with vinyl flooring, linoleum is anything but. However, an internet search for linoleum floors never fails to return lists of vinyl flooring information. In reality, the two products couldn’t be more different than one another. Both are installed in a similar fashion and can appear to mimic the other, but that’s where the similarities end. Linoleum products are made of all-natural linseed oil, resins, wood products, cork and natural pigments. Manufacturers have used the same basic formula since 1860. Being environmentally friendly, it easily breaks down in landfills when the day finally comes to remove it from your home. That won’t be for a long time though. Its [linoleum's] toughness means it can be expected to last for 40 years or more. The flooring color and pattern are consistent all the way through the material, so scratches and wear are less noticeable than other flooring materials. Vinyl, on the other hand, is 100% synthetic, not environmentally friendly and will only last 15 years if you’re gentle with it. The thin protective layer and printed pattern sheet wears off over time and a deep scratch can end its useful life. |
