Today's vinyl flooring can look like
hardwood, stone, or just about any natural flooring material, while still
keeping vinyl's easy-to-take-care-of benefits. It's done with a
rotogravure embossing process, which achieves a realistic look in what's
known as - no surprise here - rotogravure vinyl flooring. Vinyl floors
come with two types of "wearlayers" (a fancy name for the surface) that
effect their overall performance: - Urethane - an enhanced urethane finish
will protect floors from scuffing, asphalt sealer tracking, and allow most
spills to be wiped off easily with a clean rag or paper towel. - PVC
(poly-vinyl-chloride) - the basic vinyl floor wearlayer, it gives good
durability, but lacks the easy maintenance features found in urethane. So
scuffs and marks can be difficult to remove. |
