In decades past, vinyl tile and flooring has come and gone in popularity. When you think of vinyl, though, you probably imagine the outdated flooring that wears easily and doesn't stand up to traffic well. We want to show you a new modern vinyl that changes ALL of those stereotypes. If you've been afraid of updating your home with luxury vinyl, here are a few vinyl myths debunked to ease your mind.

Myth: Vinyl Flooring is Outdated and Unattractive

This myth is probably one of the first things that keeps people from even looking into vinyl for their home - but this myth needs to be debunked! Vinyl flooring, whether in tile, plank or sheet form is now made to look like may different materials from wood to stone or tile. No matter what color or style you're trying to achieve, Barefoot Floors can help you find a vinyl flooring that will match.

Myth: All Vinyl Flooring is the Same

Not all vinyl flooring is the same. In fact, vinyl flooring has more diversity than many flooring types. Because vinyl flooring can be made in any color and pattern, it can mimic ceramic tile, wood, and any other pattern you can imagine. Not to mention, every type of vinyl flooring can vary depending on quality, durability and more. When looking for the best flooring at the Lake of the Ozarks, come to Barefoot Floors and let us show you what to look for.

Myth: Vinyl Flooring is Hard to Install

Vinyl flooring can actually be incredibly easy to install, and quick too. There are two types of vinyl flooring that are popular, one is floating, meaning it won't need an adhesive to stay put. It is generally secured by interlocking planks that are then held in place by trim installed above it along the wall (similar to laminate). You can also find vinyl flooring that is installed with an adhesive to keep it secured. Both types can be installed in as little as a few hours depending on the size of your room.

Myth: Vinyl is Cheap

Actually, some vinyl flooring can cost the same as tile and wood - but that doesn't mean you should just assume tile is a better choice. Many homeowners like the feel and the look of vinyl tiles over ceramic tiles, even if the price is the same. Vinyl is water resistant, like tile, but it is generally easier to walk on, softer to fall on or drop something on, is generally warmer than ceramic tile. It is also incredibly durable and may even require less maintenance. Unlike ceramic tile, you won't have to worry about tiles coming loose or grout coming out of the seams. If you need to replace pieces, it's generally quite easy.

We're continuing our Barefoot series this week! While we've covered Going Barefoot in Your Kitchen, and Going Barefoot in Your Living Room, this week we're going to cover going barefoot in your bathroom. While there are many floorings types that are perfect for your bathroom, and we'll cover those - we also want to cover some flooring types that AREN'T good in your bathroom. As your Lake of the Ozarks flooring shop, we have a few suggestions to get your new bathroom renovation started on the right foot.

Bathroom Flooring DON'TS

While there are some flooring choices that are better than others, there are some flooring types that are absolutely NOT a good idea in some spaces. In your bathroom, you don't want anything that will warp excessively with moisture, absorb water, or become damaged from humidity or moisture. That brings us to two carpet types that aren't good in bathrooms:

Carpet

We feel that this should really go without saying, but carpeting in the bathroom was a phase for a short while, and some homes still have it today. There is too much water in the bathroom to make it a practical flooring choice for your home. Carpet in the bathroom is also virtually impossible to keep clean.  Let our team show you a much better choice for this space!

Solid Wood

Solid wood floors may look beautiful in your bathroom, but they are not a great choice. The dampness in this space can cause the tongue in groove of the flooring to warp and crack. You can invest a lot of money in the flooring, and have it needing to be replaced in just a short amount of time.

Bathroom Flooring DO'S

While there are several obvious flooring choices that aren't great in the bathroom - we supply MANY great choices! Whether you want something warm and inviting, or cool and clean, our flooring shop at the Lake of the Ozarks can supply you with incredible flooring options.

Linoleum

Whether you choose a sheet linoleum or a linoleum tile, this type of flooring is great for repelling water. Though, keep in mind that if you choose a linoleum tile, you'll want to keep in mind that the more seams you have, the more openings there are for water.

Vinyl

Are you looking for a great choice for heavily used bathrooms? Vinyl is one of the best choices you can pick that is const effective, attractive, and practical. Vinyl is also easy to install and durable.

Ceramic Tile

Attractive, durable, and water repellent - ceramic tile is a great choice. You have many color choices available in the ceramic tile, but also in the grout as well. At Barefoot Floors, we have some beautiful choices of ceramic tile, and some even have the appearance and texture of wood.

Your Bathroom Flooring

At Barefoot Floors, we believe you should be able to go barefoot in EVERY room of your home. from the living room to the bathroom, our flooring store at the Lake of the Ozarks has a flooring choice for every square foot of your home. Visit our store to learn more about our flooring choices, and let our team assist you!
