LAKE CABINET & FLOORING, INC.   

 We've come a long way baby!

No other floor covering category offers the variety of colors and patterns as vinyl flooring! Thanks to some great advancements in styling and technology, today's vinyl floors have been changed forever.  The unique manufacturing processes used today can replicate the look and textures of real ceramic tile, stone and wood grains. Plus, the resilient manufacturers have created new manufacturing processes to make vinyl floors more tear and stain resistant.   Once you have paged through the various pages in the vinyl flooring section you should have a better understanding of how these new generation vinyl floors have changed forever the way we think at vinyl floors.

Today vinyl tiles are available in a wide variety of styles, colors and quality.   Typically there are 3 basic types or groupings of vinyl tile.  First there are commercial Vinyl Composition tiles.  These are the tiles you see on the floor of your local superstore ... these are typically inexpensive, easy to install and care for.   Next is the cheap vinyl composition residential tiles  like you'd see at your big home centers.  Thankfully these tiles are slowly losing there place in the market.   These are typically low cost and low quality tiles and often come with a self stick adhesive of the back.   Last and most important are the High Vinyl content tiles that we focus on here at Lake Cabinet & Flooring.  They offer excellent quality, appearance and ease of care.   Some of these products are offered in click together or self adhering free floating tiles. Vinyl tiles offer two advantages over sheet vinyl and one disadvantage.    Because they are individual pieces they are easier to install and handle than sheet vinyl.   (If your installing it yourself and you make a mistake in cutting you lost one tile not the entire sheet)  Also if one does become damaged it is the easiest floor to repair or replace a tile.  The one disadvantage is that there are seams surrounding each piece of floor and over time these seams can become dirty and more noticeable especially on light colored floors.  Vinyl tile seams can also open overtime with sub-floor movement.

Today upper-end high quality vinyl tiles are one of the fastest growing segments of the flooring industry and offer a great alternative to real wood or stone tiles.
