Being the busiest and sometimes messiest of places at home, the flooring for your kitchen needs to be able to withstand wear and tear of everyday use. Abhishek Saraf, an expert on flooring says, "Kitchen floor surface must be as permanent and cleanable as possible. Selecting a material for your kitchen's flooring requires thoughtful attention to many issues — habits of your family; materials available; aesthetic qualities; the sub-surface of the floor; compatibility with your budget considerations." Vinyl is an alternative flooring apart from traditional flooring for kitchens.

Vinyl flooring comes with anti-skid resistance which prevents a person from slipping or skidding in kitchen. Simple tile designs or borders are generally used. Saraf says, "Most of the customers today use vinyl flooring because it's water-proof, durable, hygienic, low on maintenance and also adds an aesthetic value to your kitchen."

Tips for choosing the best vinyl flooring for your kitchen

-Colours and pattern options available with vinyl flooring are nearly endless.
-Solid and composite vinyl can be combined to create a number of unique, random patterns.
-Vinyl does not get cold in the winter, and is generally soft beneath your feet.
-Printed vinyl tiles and sheets have a clear wear layer that acts as a surface barrier, protecting the floor from stains and spills.
-Vinyl is generally considered to be a highly durable material that, if properly installed and maintained, can last from ten to twenty years.-Times of India
