Introduction
The decision between laminate and rigid vinyl can be difficult. Both offer different advantages and come with specific characteristics. It is worthwhile to look closely at the differences to make the optimal choice for your requirements.
Laminate: Advantages and Disadvantages
Laminate is a popular choice for many households. It is cost-effective and offers a wide range of designs, which makes it particularly attractive. Installation is usually simple and straightforward. However, laminate also has its disadvantages. It is susceptible to water damage and can be cold and hard underfoot. Another disadvantage is that laminate is not renovatable; if damaged, it must be completely replaced.
Rigid Vinyl: Advantages and Disadvantages
Rigid vinyl, on the other hand, is more resistant to moisture and water. This makes it an ideal choice for rooms where laminate would not be suitable. It offers higher comfort underfoot thanks to the integrated impact sound insulation. Rigid vinyl is durable, abrasion-resistant, and comes in versatile design options. However, rigid vinyl usually costs more than laminate and requires a level subfloor for installation.
