Vinyl Flooring in Fort Wayne, IN

Vinyl flooring combines the natural looks of wood and stone with premium performance. It’s quickly become one of the most popular flooring options in residential and commercial settings.

At Carpet One Floor & Home of Fort Wayne, IN, we have the best vinyl flooring for your lifestyle, budget, and durability requirements. No matter your design preferences or durability requirements, there's a perfect vinyl floor for you.

How Is Vinyl Flooring Constructed?

A sturdy synthetic product, vinyl flooring has added cushion to decrease the impact on heavy traffic areas, preventing scratches, damage, and sun fading. An additional improvement is its moisture resistance, helping to prevent mildew and mold in kitchens, laundry, and bathrooms.

There are two design types: printed and inlaid.

• Printed floor patterns use a paper top placed directly on a thin vinyl surface covered with layers of clear vinyl for a smooth, protective coating. Technology brings a new perspective with 3D enhancements, taking an image and applying it to the vinyl capturing real-life details.

• Inlaid vinyl is created by placing tiny vinyl granules on the backing and forcing them forward to the surface. It creates a textured appearance, and the added thickness increases endurance. Like most wall-to-wall flooring, decorative baseboards are used to finish the edges.

What Types of Vinyl Flooring Are There?

There are a few different types of vinyl flooring, including vinyl tile and vinyl plank.

We also have more durable vinyl options like WPC, SPC, and rigid core which all feature waterproof qualities.

• Vinyl plank looks like real hardwood floors. Advanced technology in digital printing makes vinyl look authentic. It can be textured to feel like real hardwood. Vinyl planks are made up of different layers that can resist heavy foot traffic and are cushioned to relieve some of the stress of being walked on all day.

• Vinyl tile is an alternative to ceramic and porcelain tile. Its construction is like vinyl plank, but each piece is built to resemble artisan tile or natural stone instead of boasting hardwood looks. It can be grouted for added realism if desired.

How Is Vinyl Flooring Installed?

Depending on location, several methods exist for installing vinyl planks and tiles.

The most popular method is known as a floating floor: vinyl flooring can also be glued to subflooring like concrete or wood.  Each plank or tile snaps together piece by piece.

Besides the appearance and ease of installation, vinyl flooring is more affordable and has lower maintenance than hardwood flooring. It’s suitable for anywhere in your home or business while holding strong against heavy foot traffic.

Despite its relatively simple installation process, we strongly advise choosing professional flooring installation.
