Vinyl Styles

Your style is reflected throughout your home for all to see; in the chairs you bought for the living room and in the artwork displayed on your walls. Your style lives and expresses itself from room to room, indoors and out.

It goes without saying then that your style will also be communicated through your flooring. To help you find your style of vinyl, we’ve created these pages. Even the most experienced shopper can be intimidated by the number of vinyl choices, patterns, colors, textures and price points.
