VOTE FOR ME PLEASE IN THE IBEST AWARD: Have you ever wondered if VINYL FLOORING IS WORTH IT? Do you know WHAT LAMINATE FLOORING IS? Well, this is a very common comparison when people need FLOATING FLOORS, which are models that can be installed on top of another existing floor without breaking the previous floor. Many people have doubts about whether these floors are resistant, whether they can use VINYL FLOORING IN THE KITCHEN, VINYL FLOORING IN THE BATHROOM, whether LAMINATE FLOORING can be damaged by water, etc. In today's video in the battle of materials section, we will buy which is the best flooring, vinyl or laminate. Let's look at the initial difference, what they are made of. Basically, vinyl flooring is made of PVC and laminate flooring is made of wood with 4 layers, the first being the protective layer, then the base layer of wood, then the laminated pattern and finally a protective film. ITEM 1 – VARIETY – Both floors have a very wide range of colors, but vinyl flooring comes out ahead because we can find GLUED VINYL FLOORING, CLICK VINYL FLOORING, SELF-ADHESIVE VINYL FLOORING, VINYL FLOORING IN BLANKET, PLATES, flooring that imitates burnt cement, flooring that imitates marble, that is, there are more options than wood prints; ITEM 2 – VERSATILITY – Both floors can be used in other ways, such as vinyl or laminate flooring on the wall to create a TV panel, headboard, vinyl flooring can be glued to the ceiling and even on the kitchen countertop, above the kitchen counter, they can be used on stairs, but the finish on the side is not usually very pretty, since we cannot make a half-miter like porcelain tile, we can also install it on floor over floor, that's why they are called floating floors without affecting the level of the doors as is the case with ceramic or porcelain tile, but in general I think vinyl is more versatile, we can use vinyl flooring in the bedroom, even vinyl flooring in the bathroom on the outside of the shower; ITEM 3 – MOISTURE RESISTANCE - Vinyl flooring is waterproof, but its glue is not. If there is water on it, this water will detach the glued vinyl flooring and the clicked vinyl flooring can become smelly and damaged, but both can often be reused. However, conventional laminate flooring is not very water resistant and can be damaged very easily. However, there is now waterproof laminate flooring on the market. In fact, it is water resistant and can be left with water on it for many hours without being damaged. For me, this is the BEST LAMINATE FLOORING. Therefore, we can use laminate flooring in an American kitchen, a bathroom outside the shower, and all indoor areas of the house. Neither of the 2 floors are recommended for outdoor areas, as the sun can fade them as well. Here, laminate flooring performs better; ITEM 4 – INSTALLATION – HOW TO INSTALL LAMINATE FLOORING and HOW TO INSTALL VINYL FLOORING, let's start with the STEP BY STEP VINYL FLOORING. We can install it on top of subflooring, ceramic flooring, porcelain tile, slate, liquid porcelain tile and burnt cement, but we cannot install it on wood flooring, parquet flooring, parquet floors, etc. Laminate flooring is simpler and we can install it on any of the floors already mentioned, so it is great for those who live in rented accommodation, HERE LAMINATE FLOORING IS BETTER; ITEM 5 – COMFORT – Both floors are great for thermal comfort, but laminate flooring is not very good for acoustic comfort, as it can make noise, which is why vinyl is better here; ITEM 6 – RESISTANCE – Both floors can scratch if you drag sharp furniture over it; ITEM 7 – EASE OF CLEANING – as I said, vinyl flooring is generally easier to maintain; ITEM 8 – REPAIRS – At this point, glued vinyl flooring is the simplest of all, while all the interlocking models, such as laminate and click vinyl flooring, have their pieces interconnected. Because it is a simpler model, vinyl comes out ahead; ITEM 9 – LABOR – Nowadays, it is common for the same professional to do both installations, and they are not that uncommon to find, so I will tie this item; ITEM 10 – PRICE – On average, vinyl flooring is more expensive. VINYL FLOORING PRICE can be higher than laminated flooring. Here are the videos mentioned: TYPES OF LINING: • LINING - 13 TYPES OF LINING FOR YOUR HOUSE...
