Is vinyl flooring too old fashioned for my home?

 

So, your wife has convinced you it’s time to replace the flooring in the kitchen and bathroom. She has suggested vinyl flooring from Carpet Call but you’re not keen. You think it is old fashioned and cheap and your manhood has not recovered from your last failed DIY attempts to lay vinyl in your parents kitchen some 20 years ago. Your wife has talked you into visiting some display homes to look at vinyl but you go under duress.

 

That can’t be real timber? It’s soft and makes no squeaky noises when you walk on it. The display -home consultant walks towards you and says “looks like Timber doesn’t it. That’s timber look vinyl from Carpet Call. They call it Texline Pro Walnut. They’ve managed to make it slip resistant with a surface treatment. The kids can spill whatever they like on it and you easily mop it up. No worries about water damage like a real timber floor and no annoying noise like a real timber floor. You’ll see it in all the display homes along here and can get more information from any Carpet Call store”

The display home consultant is convincing you how much vinyl flooring has changed when your wife interrupts and asks “How easy is it to install and how expensive is it?”

The sales consultant insists you call Carpet Call. “They’ll visit your home with samples of the vinyl flooring and brochures. You’ll get to choose the right timber look vinyl to match your furniture and the Carpet Call specialist will measure up and check the floor to make sure it’s level. You can strike a deal and set a date for it to be installed before the Carpet Call specialist leaves your house”

Your wife was right again! Vinyl flooring really has changed. At Carpet Call you can choose from budget to premium style vinyl flooring in ceramic tile, rustic stone, modern concrete or timber looks. You even have the option to choose a slip resistant or a soft and comfortable vinyl floor covering. The vinyl can be installed on top of some existing floors such as floorboards, tiles or concrete. The Carpet Call specialist just needs to check for gaps and how level your floor is.

How has Vinyl Flooring advanced over the last 20 years at Carpet Call?

We all remember the vinyl flooring our grandparents bought from Carpet Call and installed in the kitchen, bathroom and outside laundry. That beige and a fake ceramic tile look will haunt you forever! So is it time to think again about vinyl flooring?  

There have been so many advancements in vinyl flooring you might even mistake vinyl flooring at a Carpet Call store for a ceramic tile or solid timber floor. Carpet Call’s two authorised vinyl suppliers, Gerflor and Pegulan have invested millions into the advancement of vinyl floors but let’s look at durability advancements alone. 

So what are these new advancements? Carpet Call premium vinyl ranges come with a 0.5mm polyurethane wear layer which can withstand punishing wear and tear in the family home. Do you remember the bumps and bubbles that appeared in your grandparent’s old vinyl flooring? One of the greatest advancements is the polyester textile backing which over comes that problem. The textile backing minimises bumps and irregularities when you are installing the vinyl and remains level and smooth. 

So what else is new? The addition of glass fibre layers throughout the vinyl structure adds durability and toughness. Carpet Call recommends the scientific treatment called Sansol ® that helps prevent fungal or bacteria growth. An additional waterproof seal further protects the vinyl making it perfect for wet areas such as laundries, kitchens and bathrooms. Carpet Calls 20 years plus of experience in vinyl flooring has helped us advise our trusted suppliers in manufacturing advanced products for the tough Australian climate.
