These days, vinyl plank flooring has become one of the popular choices of people due to a few good reasons. Vinyl Plank can mimic the hardwood floors and is available at a very little cost and available in several colours and pattern.
Vinyl planks are also called luxury vinyl, which is the latest form available on the market. They are not like any traditional vinyl, and the plank involves several smaller pieces that can be connected. The best thing about vinyl plank floors is that they look much better and also do not require any professional to install.
Usually, the planks can be almost 5mm thick, thus making them the thinnest flooring option. Vinyl is a completely synthetic material, and its planks are made out of multi-layer PVC vinyl prior to printing on them and covering with walkable layers.
