Vinyl, tile, and laminate imitation wood floors have advanced significantly. Indeed, in some situations, the higher-quality choices might look good and even resemble wood. These floors have advantages. The primary benefit is that it is initially less expensive than most actual wood.
But you're not getting a decent return on your investment. These floors resemble quick fashion in the realm of flooring. The floor won't last very long and won't raise the worth of your house.

These replica floors raise health problems, to start. The majority are imported from nations with inadequate regulations spread out around the globe. There has been exposure to elevated levels of formaldehyde, a chemical known to cause cancer, on several floors. Phthalates are combined with plasticizers, colors, fillers, stabilizers, and additives to make vinyl flooring. Phthalates are well-known poisons that increase the risk of asthma, cancer, kidney, lung, and even reproductive health issues in both people and animals.
Second, think about how this faux wood flooring affects the environment. In essence, they are polymers, created from oil, transported worldwide, utilized for no more than five to twenty years, and then disposed of in a landfill where they will stay for millennia. Not long-term. Not the Green.
You can install a real wood floor in your house at some point. With the dustless systems that contractors have, refinishing is a breeze.
