If you're thinking about updating your floors, vinyl flooring is a smart and practical choice. At Guthrie Bowron, we offer a wide range of vinyl flooring NZ families love, with options that are stylish, durable, and easy to look after.

Here are five great reasons why vinyl flooring might be the right fit for your home.

1. Tough and Made to Last

Vinyl flooring can handle the demands of daily life. It stands up well to foot traffic, pets, kids, and everyday messes. Many vinyl options have a protective top layer that helps guard against scratches and dents.

This makes it a great choice for busy areas like the kitchen, living room, or hallway.

2. Incredible Looks to Choose From

Today’s vinyl flooring is incredibly realistic and often indistinguishable from the real thing. It’s available in a wide range of colours and finishes such as wood, stone and tile, delivering a consistency not available in a natural product.

Whether you want something warm and natural or clean and modern, there’s a design to match your home. Vinyl provides the look you want, without the high cost or upkeep.

3. Softer to Walk On

Vinyl flooring has a more comfortable feel underfoot compared to harder options such as tiles, while still providing the necessary durability and water resistance. This makes it perfect for high traffic rooms like the kitchen or hallway.

It also helps reduce noise, which is great for busy households.

4. Simple to Clean and Maintain

Cleaning vinyl flooring is quick and easy. A regular sweep and a light mop are usually all you need. It's also water-resistant, so an excellent option for areas that might get wet, like bathrooms or laundries.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vinyl Flooring

Yes, most vinyl flooring is water-resistant, and many types are fully waterproof. This makes it a great choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas. Always check product details or ask in-store to confirm the level of water resistance.

2. Can I install vinyl flooring myself?
Many vinyl products are designed for easy installation, especially sheet vinyl and loose-lay options. However, for the best result, especially in larger rooms or tricky spaces, we recommend professional installation.

3. What’s the difference between vinyl and laminate flooring?
Both are cost-effective options, but vinyl is generally better suited for wet areas due to its water resistance. Laminate offers a firmer underfoot feel and a more timber-like texture.
