Which is Better: Vinyl or Hardwood Flooring?

Hardwood flooring is naturally beautiful and durable, but can be a more expensive flooring option for homeowners. Vinyl flooring is a less expensive option and offers many styles and designs with a look very similar to real wood.

Hardwood floors are usually favored for their beauty, warmth and resale value. Hardwood can be more maintenance to keep up since it tends to scratch rather easily. Although wear can be an issue with heavy traffic, hardwood floors can be refinished giving a new look that can last for decades. Hardwood is also environmentally friendly since it's a natural product and a sustainable resource.

Vinyl wood and vinyl tile flooring is easily available, scratch and moisture resistant, and comes in many styles and designs. If you want the natural look of real wood but have kids or pets, vinyl flooring is a great alternative. Vinyl wood floors are easy to keep clean and are lower maintenance than real wood flooring.
