    What is Vinyl Plank Flooring?

    Vinyl is a cost-effective flooring that comes in strips and can perfectly imitate hardwood floors. It comes in a wide variety of styles, colors, and types of wood that you would like to recreate. Vinyl is ideal because the material is extremely durable and stain-resistant. With a vinyl floor you can:

    1. have water-resistant floors,
    2. let your kids and pets run around without damaging the surface,
    3. keep the same flooring for twenty years before replacing it.
