Vinyl flooring is a popular choice for homeowners across the country due to its durability, versatility, and affordability. Vinyl is, hands down, one of the best flooring options available today. And at Seconds & Surplus, we are proud to carry a large selection of high-quality waterproof vinyl floors to complement every design style.
Whether you want the classic, warm feel of hardwood flooring or crave a more elegant feel that only stone can provide, we have a wide range of options to meet your needs at a fraction of the cost.
Vinyl Plank Flooring Construction
Many homeowners have an outdated view of vinyl flooring and assume vinyl sheets are the only style available. At Seconds & Surplus, we carry luxury vinyl planks (LVP) that provide a more realistic look and feel and more durability than sheet vinyl flooring.
The vinyl plank construction starts with some kind of backing board — typically either foam or cork — for added comfort and insulation.
Our luxury vinyl planks are made with a reinforced stone-plastic compost core to add strength, durability, and longevity. They are then finished with a clear wear layer that provides a unique sheen and protects the underlying floor from water, scratches, and UV light.
Frequently Asked Questions About Waterproof Vinyl Flooring
Despite being around for nearly 100 years, there is still a lot of misinformation about vinyl floors. Keep reading to learn the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about vinyl flooring.
How Long Do Vinyl Floors Last?
SPC vinyl flooring is extremely durable and can last for over 20 years. This durability makes it an excellent choice for busy households and commercial spaces. Vinyl flooring is a particularly good investment because it lasts just as long as some more expensive flooring options.
Where Can Vinyl Floors Be Installed?
Vinyl planks are extremely versatile and can be installed in any room of your house. Whether replacing the kitchen flooring, updating your bathrooms, or overhauling your entire home's flooring, vinyl planks are a fantastic go-to.
Vinyl flooring comes in many different styles, designs, and colors to complement every room and design style. They are also waterproof, which means you don't have to worry about warping or peeling due to water damage. This is crucial for areas like the kitchen or bathroom, where water splashes are common.
How is SPC Vinyl Flooring Installed?
SPC vinyl flooring is super easy to install compared to other flooring options and does not require any glue or nails. Rather than attaching to the subfloor, SPC vinyl flooring snaps together using a locking mechanism and floats above the subfloor.
The first step in SPC vinyl flooring installation is to clear the subfloor of any dirt or debris. Even though the flooring doesn't attach, it's important to start with a clean and level base. From there, the planks are laid out, cut to form, and joined together. The last step is simply covering transition gaps with moulding to create a seamless finish.
How Much Does Vinyl Flooring Cost?
SPC vinyl flooring typically costs from $1.50 to $7.00 per square foot. However, at Seconds & Surplus, you'll rarely find vinyl flooring that costs more than $5 per square foot. We are dedicated to keeping prices low to help homeowners like you save money wherever possible.
The cost of vinyl flooring rises when you factor in installation and labor costs. However, since SPC vinyl planks are easy to install, you can save some money on installation by making this a DIY project.
What Kind of Maintenance Do Vinyl Floors Require?
Vinyl floors require very little maintenance and are easy to keep clean. You don't have to worry about refinishing your floors every few years or doing a deep cleaning once a year to remove trapped dirt.
Regular sweeping and dusting are sufficient to keep vinyl floors clean. It's a good idea to also occasionally mop vinyl floors for a sparkling finish. Just make sure to use a cleaner made specifically for vinyl floors.
