Tarkett vinyl flooring has been around for many years now. In fact, the company first started producing flooring back in 1886. Since this time it has been leading the way in designing new manufacturing techniques for producing flooring for both the commercial and residential markets. Many of these techniques that it has pioneered are still in use at present.
Today this company uses some of the most sophisticated methods around in order to produce high quality vinyl sheets, floor tiles and laminate products which meet the needs and requirements of their various customers.
In recent years Tarkett has produced a style of vinyl flooring which actually tries to look and feel like hand scraped real wood plank flooring but without any of the problems that are often associated with it.
The texture on this particular kind of vinyl flooring not only makes it look fantastic but provides the customer with the look of real wood without the cost. In fact some people find it very difficult to distinguish the vinyl planks from ordinary hardwood floors by simply looking.
Although it may have the look of a quality hardwood floor about it, unfortunately it still has that thin, rubbery and often cold feeling that comes from vinyl flooring. Certainly even laminate flooring which is often considered to be a poor cousin to real wood flooring feels much better underfoot than vinyl ever can.
However for many homeowners who are working to a very tight budget, when the time comes to carry out remodeling works in their homes, a cheaper alternative to either real wood or laminate flooring is often necessary. This is even more so when the flooring is going to be in a room which will only be used on the odd occasion or in an area where spills are likely to occur.
This particular kind of vinyl flooring is a good choice for adding something a little different to a child's playroom or to your kitchen or bathroom at a fraction of what it would cost to have either real wood, laminate or tile flooring installed instead.
The new type of vinyl flooring known as plank vinyl flooring which has been produced by the Tarkett vinyl flooring company is likely to become an important flooring choice in the future. This is especially true for those people who are looking for a flooring that is durable, easy to install and inexpensive to purchase, and that looks pretty good once it has been laid.
