Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl has come a long way from the peel-and-stick squares in your grandmother’s kitchen. Today’s planks and tiles look like oak, slate, or marble, and they feel warmer and softer than the real thing. RC&R Designer Flooring handles vinyl flooring installation for homeowners across New Jersey, and our vinyl floor installers take on everything from a small powder room to a full basement.

• Easy to clean. A sweep and a damp mop is usually all it needs.
• Kinder on your feet. If you spend a lot of time cooking, you’ll feel the difference compared with tile.
• Built for real life. The top wear layer resists scuffs, stains, and the odd dropped pan.
• Handles moisture well. That makes it a strong pick for basements, mudrooms, and sunrooms.

Want the look of stone in your bathroom without the icy floor at 6 a.m.? Luxury vinyl tile gets you very close. It usually costs less than natural stone, it goes down faster, and it won’t crack if you drop a hair dryer on it. Our luxury vinyl tile installation covers kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and entryways.

Here’s something many people don’t know. Vinyl is thin, so whatever sits under it eventually shows through. Bumps, dips, old grout lines. You’ll see them in the right light. That’s why fitting luxury vinyl flooring properly starts with the subfloor. We check it, level it where needed, and plan the layout so the cuts land in sensible places before a single plank goes down.

People search for “vinyl laminate flooring” all the time because the two look so alike. They aren’t the same, though. Vinyl is fully synthetic and copes better with water. Laminate has a wood-fiber core and usually a harder, more scratch-resistant surface. We install both, so we have no reason to push you toward one or the other.
