I am using this vinyl flooring for almost a year... So far no complain.

My 2 cent, should be better to install tiles. Probably cheaper because when u include the self level flooring chemical to level the floor, it is pretty expensive. Same cost at putting tiles. Depends on what tiles quality u put.

Finishing is very important especially at edges, it is hard to get the floor straight so the vinyl might not be able to apply flat.

On scratch, it is quite scratch resistance for normal residential use. But of u move furniture a lot, might scratch if deep cut.

Water resistance is a very good feature as it prevents rotting.

I choose it over wooden flooring because my house has history of termites... It's termite proof of course.

Try not to select too dark colors as it makes the whole room look dark.

Hope this helps...

will be using vynil flooring for my kitchen.

pros: water proof, no need to hack existing layer of tiles

cons: its slightly thinner than laminated pieces so there may be a bit of unevenness in between my kitchen and dining area.

price is not too bad, around RM8 (incl installation) pr sq/ft.
got it at the MidVec Home Expo in July/Aug this year smile.gif

Yup, a cheap solution for kitchen compared to changing tiles... I use mine with some wood grains.. Greyish color, look very trendy... Everyone loves my kitchen flooring. Yup, and waterproof... Clean easily also. If lay on top of tiles, make sure do a layer of cement screen so the floor will be flat...
