Finding the right type of flooring for your home can be a rather daunting and challenging experience. There are multiple factors you need to consider here, such as durability, quality, value for money but also water resistance and so on. Knowing which is the better option for you can be tricky since both vinyl and hardwood flooring tend to provide really good value for money. With that in mind, here are some of the things to consider.

Durability

Vinyl flooring can dent in areas, rip or tear. Hardwood, on the other hand, can be dented and scratched, not to mention dinged. Both of them are pretty durable, but hardwood flooring is a little better in a situation like this.

Waterproofing

This is where hardwood flooring is left behind. Vinyl flooring is fully waterproofed, whereas the other option is not. You can end up spilling water on the floor sometimes, and if you have hardwood flooring you will damage it quite a bit. Vinyl flooring is water-resistant, so you can clean up without worrying about any floor damage, and that really helps.

Cleaning

You can use no-wax cleaners, a vacuum, wet mop or a broom on your vinyl floor. That makes it a lot more versatile when compared to the other factors. However, hardwood flooring requires specialized products and you are not allowed to do wet mopping. When it comes to maintenance, a no-wax polish will get the job done for vinyl flooring. A similar thing will work for hardwood flooring, although in this case multiple applications might be needed.

Styles and options

Both vinyl and hardwood flooring have multiple styles. In the case of hardwood flooring, you’re getting the real deal, whereas vinyl will mimic the look of real wood.

DIY installation

While vinyl flooring can be installed on your own, you can’t say the same about hardwood flooring. Hardwood flooring requires professional installation and it will take quite a bit of time to do it right. That alone is a huge plus point in our books.

Fading

Both of them are prone to fading. Thankfully, you can refinish as often as needed. To help prolong the time needed in between, you can use thicker window shades to avoid direct sunlight shining on the floor.

Conclusion

Vinyl flooring is better because it’s more versatile, it delivers a higher quality and value, and the experience you receive is second to none. On top of that, you have less maintenance to worry about, it’s pet-friendly and waterproof.
