What is Considered Resilient Flooring?


Resilient flooring is simply that, flooring which provides some resiliency, or a little bounce back effect combined with firmness.  Resilient flooring is not as firm as real hardwood or stone and is not soft like carpet but provides more of a middle ground with firm, durable flooring combined with a subtle cushioned feeling.  Resilient flooring can be strong, sturdy and even more durable than hardwood, yet you’ll notice the difference if you stand on your feet all day.  You’ll notice less leg pain, tiredness, leg cramps and fatigue which can occur when standing on those firmer surfaces for extended periods of time. 

Comfortable, Durable and Resilient Flooring

Technological advances utilized by flooring manufacturers today have created resilient flooring which withstands heavy traffic in durable, yet comfortable flooring surfaces. Manufactured flooring is available which provides such a realistic looking replica of real hardwood or stone it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference. The biggest differences come from how resilient flooring holds up to heavy use, provides anti-microbial surfaces, water resistance, easy installation and simple, care-free maintenance.  

Vinyl is a common material used in resilient flooring and can be installed in any room, making it a popular alternative to laminates and even carpeting.  Vinyl flooring’s water resistance allows for installation in places where real wood or laminates wouldn’t be idea.  Resilient flooring is found in vinyl, luxury vinyl tile or planks, laminates, and wood plastic composite (WPC) flooring.
Roll and sheet vinyl come in either 6’ or 12’ widths with a wide selection of designs applied during specialty printing and is an affordable option in many installations. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) are also very popular choices when people want resilient, high quality flooring with realistic looks of real stone or wood.  LVT and LVP look just like the real thing although they provide added durability with scratch and stain resistance, water resistance, simple installation, easy maintenance and affordability.
