So you wanna learn about vinyl huh?!?

Okay where do we begin...

Vinyl is the best flooring to use in a basement rreno. Frankly now even in the main floor

It's waterproof, it's easy Installation, it's  got a wear layer that is pretty darn resistant to scratches and damage. Most importantly It's affordable. 

The problem... it's thin... it's gonna let the cold concrete creates an uncomfortable cold floor. Not as bad as tile but it's not cozy but there's  a solution. Using an underlay that lifts it off the ci cte an inch. A bubble underlay will keep it off the cold floor and allow water to flow underneath. 

So what's the cost.

Well vinyl ranges from $1.49 to $3.59 sometime even higher.

 

On the low end of the range is the builder grade Chinese stuff that is easily damaged, difficult to install, recycled plastic, easy to warp and not a great click system.  Buy it probably sells the most.  It's $1.49 so it sells itself.

 

Then we have the 1.69 Chinese vinyl and it's a better underpad and a bit more rigid. It's 5.5mm and has a good quality click system. A 12 mil wear layer which is good enough for residential. 

Nest we have the 6.5mm vinyl that had a wear layer of 20mil which is good enough for commercial but also does well in homes for a long time. It's easy to install and has some weight to it so the short edge locks well. It's the best floor for value. At Only $1.99

 

Next we have the higher end Turkish vinyl at $2.49 it has the highest wear layer. It's good for high traffic areas I mean we used it in a dance studio. It's got fresh virgin plastic. And a nice cushy underpad. It's got a fantastic Locking System. It's 5mm and a clear winner over the Chinese products in the market. Anyone who puts this in their home is happy with their choice. 

 

We then have the highest quality of flooring. 6.5mm Turkish vinyl 👌 😍. If you wanna love your home and purchase this is the quality you are looking for. It's had the best wear resistance possible. It's strong and rigid and the second you lift it you will know it's the best product out there.
