			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sure, everybody remembers Albert Einstein for his energy formula <em>e=mc2,</em> but few people talk about his lesser known and equally important flooring formula: <em>v=es2.<strong> </strong></em>This equation, <em>vinyl tile = economy times style squared,</em> is one of the fundamental theorems of all of flooring physics. As proof of this exciting theory, take a look at these iconic vinyl tile collections – they’re economical, they’re super stylish… and hey, they’re definitely square!</p>
<p><div id="attachment_189" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Karndean-Renoir-Vinyl-Tile.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-189" title="Karndean Renoir Vinyl Tile" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Karndean-Renoir-Vinyl-Tile-150x150.jpg" alt="Karndean Renoir Vinyl Tile" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Karndean Renoir Vinyl Tile</p></div>
<p>Vinyl Tile Flooring, like vinyl planks or vinyl rolls, is available a plethora of popular patterns. From outlandish aqua prints, to vibrant neon shades, to simple solid colors, there is a vinyl tile to match any look. One of the most popular vinyl tile collections is the <a title="Karndean Renoir Vinyl Tile " href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/karndean-renoir-tile.html" target="_blank">Karndean Renoir collection</a>. Just like the works of its namesake painter, this stone-reproduction vinyl tile truly is high art. The intense colors of Renoir vinyl tile are inspired by the distinctive shades of the American West. From sandy Utah to sky blue Nevada, to the metallurgical marvels of Gold or Bronze, these stylish shades are at home in both traditional and contemporary decor settings. Plus, the 12” x 12” vinyl tiles also feature borders that resemble grout, so the overall look is nearly identical to porcelain or ceramic tile.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_190" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Amtico-Spacia-Stone-Vinyl-Tile.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-190" title="Amtico Spacia Stone Vinyl Tile" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Amtico-Spacia-Stone-Vinyl-Tile-150x150.jpg" alt="Amtico Spacia Stone Vinyl Tile" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Amtico Spacia Stone Vinyl Tile</p></div>
<p>If an authentic stone look is more your style, then the <a title="Amtico Spacia Stone Vinyl" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/amtico-spacia-stone.html" target="_blank">Spacia Stone</a> collection from Amitco may be the perfect solution. The Spacia Stone line is one of the most versatile vinyl tile collections on the market, with nearly <em>sixty</em> different color and size options to choose from. With this many options, you can re-floor your entire house, and every other house on the block! With sizes from 12” x 12” to 18” x 18” Spacia Stone captures the most common tile dimensions, and with colors like Charcoal Slate, Desert Sandstone, and Burnished Slate, there is a shade to match any color palate.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_191" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Decoria-Spectra.gif"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-191" title="Decoria Spectra" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Decoria-Spectra-150x150.gif" alt="Decoria Spectra" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Decoria Spectra</p></div>
<p>Of course, if we’re talking about vinyl tile, we can’t neglect the iconic black and white checkerboard look. Whether they’re in a 1950’s cafe or a 2020’s family room, bold black and bright white vinyl tiles never go out of style. The <a title="Decoria Spectra Vinyl" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/decoria-spectra.html" target="_blank">Decoria Spectra</a> collection is the perfect vinyl tile to achieve the checkerboard look. In addition to Black and White, Spectra is available in Rust and Azure for an even more personalized look. Best of all, each Spectra, Spacia Stone, and Renoir vinyl tile all cost less than a latte per square foot. That means these sleek styles fit any budget!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let’s face it, genuine hardwood floors aren’t cheap. They demand a considerable amount of maintenance, and if they’re installed in high traffic or moisture-prone areas, you can count on replacing them sooner than later. But Vinyl Plank Flooring on the other hand, is economical, durable, and highly resistant to foot traffic and moisture. Plus today’s modern vinyls offer a hardwood look that is just about as authentic as it gets. Let’s take a quick look at a few of the best vinyl plank flooring options.

<p>Another hugely popular style is <a title="Decoria Vinyl Barnside" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/decoria-barnside.html" target="_blank">Decoria Viynl Barnside</a>. Barnside planks are inspired by the antique look of naturally aged reclaimed hardwoods. These premium vinyl planks feature a rustic, weather-worn look, as <a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/decoria-barnside.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-181" title="Decoria Vinyl Barnside" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/decoria-barnside-150x150.jpg" alt="Decoria Vinyl Barnside" width="150" height="150" /></a>if the floors had lived a lifetime outdoors. A variety of aged hardwood shades from light Rustic White to earthy Mossy Green to dark Barnside Charcoal offer options to homeowners and designers with a particular color in mind.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s almost 2012, and you know what that means… the Rapture is upon us! Of course, we’re referring to Earthwerks Rapture vinyl flooring. This apocalyptically authentic hardwood-look vinyl is a phenomenal floor for use throughout the home. Rapture vinyl is durable, it’s beautiful, it’s low maintenance, and it is guaranteed to have <em>nothing </em>to do with Mayan prophecies, New World Orders, or nuclear meltdowns of any kind.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_169" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SRp-713-light.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-169  " title="SRp-713 light" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SRp-713-light.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Earthwerks Rapture Vinyl Flooring SRP-713</p></div>
<p>The <strong><a title="Earthwerks Vinyl Flooring" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/earthwerks-vinyl-flooring.html" target="_blank">Earthwerks</a> </strong>brand has built its name upon four simple pillars: Strength, Performance, Luxury and Style. Earthwerks vinyl flooring experts have drawn inspiration from the finest floors across the globe. The company’s elegant and durable vinyl floors are designed from the ground up to offer the most authentic reproduction of beloved natural materials. To Earthwerks, imitation is the highest form of flattery – so natural hardwood and stone are feeling pretty good right now.</p>
<p>First and foremost, <a title="Earthwerks Rapture Vinyl Flooring" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/earthwerks-rapture-vinyl.html" target="_blank"><strong>Rapture</strong></a> floors actually look like natural wood. These aren’t simply plastic slabs painted brown – they’re remarkably detailed, intricately textured, expertly printed authentic wood reproductions. Thanks to the latest advancements in digital printing technologies, Earthwerks minimizes repeats, so that each plank is essentially unique, just like actual woods. Rapture planks (yes “planks,” not a cheap roll) measure 7” x 36”, mirroring the dimensions of popular hardwood styles. The printed grain patterns are able to develop fully over the wide plank surfaces. Overall, Rapture floors provide a wonderful sense of woodsy warmth that adds an inviting ambiance to any room. Rapture planks are available in six distinct shades including, <a title="Earthwerks Rapture Vinyl Flooring SRP 713" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/earthwerks-rapture-srp-713-7in-x-36in-vinyl-plank-flooring.html" target="_blank"><strong>SRP-713</strong></a>, a nice and neutral natural oak reproduction, and <strong><a title="Earthwerks Rapture Vinyl Flooring SRP 715" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/earthwerks-rapture-srp-715-7in-x-36in-vinyl-plank-flooring.html" target="_blank">SRP 715</a>,</strong> a deep dark walnut wood look. <a title="Earthwerks Rapture Vinyl Flooring SRP 714" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/earthwerks-rapture-srp-714-7in-x-36in-vinyl-plank-flooring.html" target="_blank"><strong>SRP 714</strong></a> is a gorgeous take on natural hickory with deep grains and rich knots.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_170" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SRP-715-Walnut.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-170  " title="SRP-715 Walnut" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SRP-715-Walnut.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Earthwerks Rapture Vinyl Flooring SRP 715</p></div>
<p>Not only do Rapture vinyl planks look fantastic, they’re some of the most durable floors on the market as well. The planks feature 1/8” thick and feature a solid vinyl construction with an additional wear layer, film and backing. Vinyl is essentially impervious to water damage, and is highly resistant to chemicals and stains. The tough wear layer resists abrasions, and the naturally resilient vinyl resists permanent indentations even under heavy stress.</p>
<p>Best of all, Earthwerks Rapture vinyl planks are eco-friendly. The collection offers the natural wood look without felling a single tree.  Rapture planks are made of at least 38% recycled materials, plus, the planks themselves can be recycled 100% if they are ever removed from use. Synthetic vinyl, made from recycled material, that can then be recycled again? It’s tough to be any greener than that.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_171" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SRP-714-Hickory.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-171 " title="SRP-714 Hickory" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SRP-714-Hickory.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Earthwerks Rapture Vinyl Flooring SRP 714</p></div>
<p>Since Earthwerks Rapture planks are so durable and stylish, it gives a little peace of mind to remember that if the world does end this year, your new vinyl floors will still look beautiful even when the new robot overlords saunter across them. If you’d like to talk Earthwerks options for your home, give us a call at <strong>866-705-1340</strong>. We’d love to chat. Thanks for reading, and Happy New Year!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trees everywhere are breathing a soothing C0₂ sigh of relief. Why? Because more and more consumers are choosing wood look vinyl flooring over traditional hardwoods. Wood<strong> </strong>look vinyl is a fantastic alternative for a variety of reasons, and recent advancements in digital printing and manufacturing technologies have boosted vinyl quality to a higher level than ever. Decoria wood look vinyl is leading this synthetic flooring revolution – and the trees are oh-so grateful.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_131" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Decoria-Timber-Vinyl.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-131" title="Decoria Timber Vinyl" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Decoria-Timber-Vinyl.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Decoria Timber Vinyl</p></div>
<p><a title="Decoria Vinyl" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/decoria-vinyl-flooring.html" target="_blank"><strong>Decoria</strong></a> has been manufacturing high quality vinyl flooring for more than three decades, and the company’s commitment to innovation has only intensified over the years. The complete Decoria line includes some of the most authentic representations of natural materials, from stone to tile to bamboo – and especially hardwood. Decoria’s wood look collections are unique from typical vinyl products because the material is cut into planks 3” to 5” wide. Older vinyl floors were only available in large rolls, but Decoria vinyl plank flooring is the same shape and size as hardwood planks, for the most authentic look.</p>
<p>Authenticity is Decoria vinyl’s strongest suit. For example, <a title="Decoria Timber" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/decoria-timber.html" target="_blank"><strong>Decoria Timber</strong></a><strong> </strong>faithfully reproduces the look of rustic weather-worn hardwood such as oak and hickory with intricate grain patterns, lifelike colors, and dramatic variations from plank to plank. Advanced digital printing techniques reduce the number of repeats, so the overall look is far more diverse. <a title="Decoria Exotic" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/decoria-exotic.html" target="_blank"><strong>Decoria Exotic</strong></a> captures the dramatic beauty of woods from around the world. Brazilian cherry, scarlet teak, wengewood and mesquite are all on display in this fabulous wood look collection.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_132" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Decoria-Pitch-Pine-Vinyl.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-132" title="Decoria Pitch Pine Vinyl" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Decoria-Pitch-Pine-Vinyl.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Decoria Pitch Pine Vinyl</p></div>
<p>Vinyl flooring is ideal for use in commercial areas where heavy foot traffic and liquid spills are more common. Unlike natural hardwoods, wood look vinyl is highly resistant to abrasions and liquids, plus it does not expand and contract with temperature changes like hardwoods do. <a title="Decoria Pitch Pine" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/decoria-pitch-pine.html" target="_blank"><strong>Decoria Pitch Pine</strong></a> and <a title="Decoria Fine Grain" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/decoria-fine-grain.html" target="_blank"><strong>Decoria Fine Grain</strong></a> are both ideal wood look vinyl collections for use in commercial spaces.</p>
<p>Another unique aspect of Decoria’s wood look vinyl flooring line is that the planks feature interlocking ends and edges to simplify installation. Each plank clicks into place quickly and efficiently forming a secure and sturdy surface without the need for glue or nails. The floor can “float” over an existing subfloor without being permanently attached. This allows Decoria planks to be installed temporarily in one space, then moved to another without damaging either the planks or the subfloor. In is way, Decoria wood look vinyl is an incredibly versatile flooring option that landlords and business owners absolutely love.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_133" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Decoria-Exotic-Vinyl.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-133" title="Decoria Exotic Vinyl" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Decoria-Exotic-Vinyl.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Decoria Exotic Vinyl</p></div>
<p>Thanks to Decora wood look vinyl flooring, the timeless beauty and warmth of natural hardwoods is available in a whole new way. Decoria vinyl is durable, economical, functional and offers an unrivalled authentic wood look. Plus, no trees are harmed in the process. Of course, Decoria vinyl has to be seen to be appreciated, so be sure to stop by a local flooring retailer to view a few samples. Then, give us a call at <strong>866-705-1340</strong> for a quote on your particular project. We’ll be happy to help. Thanks for reading, and good luck on your remodeling project.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Konecto” is not a comic book villain, a seventies progressive rock band, or the sound of a plan coming together. Actually, Konecto manufactures of some of the finest resilient vinyl flooring on the market today, and they’ve been a leader in the industry for decades. Now, it’s true vinyl hasn’t always been the most highly revered flooring material, but Konecto floors are reversing that trend. Thanks to recent advancements in printing and production technologies, Konecto’s luxury vinyl floors effortlessly capture the timeless beauty of natural stone and the wonderful warmth of hardwoods, but in a much more economical package. These vivacious vinyls are setting a new standard for luxury reproduction flooring.</p>
<p>What makes <a title="Konecto Vinyl Floors" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/konecto-vinyl-flooring.html" target="_blank">Konecto vinyl floors</a> unique, and what gives the brand its name, is the exclusive interlocking installation system. The edges of each vinyl plank and tile feature tongue and groove joints which click together securely to form a tight and stable surface that “floats” over the existing subfloor. This makes installation remarkably easy and incredibly quick. Plus, since the planks are not permanently fastened to the sub floor, Konecto Vinyl flooring can be removed and re-installed elsewhere, even after years of use. In this way, Konecto floors are ideal for rental properties, retail and commercial areas.</p>
<p><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/commerical-collection.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-122" title="Konecto Commercial Collection" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/commerical-collection.jpg" alt="Konecto Commercial Collection" width="225" height="225" /></a>Speaking of commercial areas, Konecto’s <a title="Konecto Commercial Vinyl Flooring" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/konecto-commercial.html" target="_blank">Commercial Collection</a> is designed for that very purpose. This fabulous collection includes some remarkably realistic reproductions of beloved hardwoods like walnut, Brazilian teak, rosewood, and maple. The line even includes some beautiful bamboo styles as well. These fine vinyl floors are ideal for use in retail storefronts, restaurant dining rooms, corporate offices, schools and more. Genuine hardwood adds such a palpable sense of warmth and character, which can help create a more welcoming atmosphere in any business. Since Konecto vinyl floors are highly resistant to liquid damage and abrasion, these floors are as durable as they are beautiful. Plus, the easy interlocking installation system makes Konecto Comercial floors a quick-fix solution to startup companies looking to open their doors asap.</p>
<p>The commercial arena isn’t the only realm where Konecto vinyl floors excel. Konecto’s <a title="Konecto Vinyl Prestige Collection" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/konecto-prestige-collection.html" target="_blank">Prestige Collection</a> features beautiful hardwood looks that are ideal for use throughout the home. Bold grain <a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Konecto-Vinyl-Prestige.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-123" title="Konecto Vinyl Prestige Collection" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Konecto-Vinyl-Prestige-300x225.jpg" alt="Konecto Vinyl Prestige Collection" width="300" height="225" /></a>patterns, natural texturing and distinctive finishes give infuse Prestige planks with a rustic-yet-refined sense of warmth and character that really adds new life throughout the home. From the deep brown tones of walnut to the light and natural beech hues, there is a shade in the collection that is sure to suit any taste. Whether the overall decor theme is classic or contemporary, Prestige vinyl can be a rich complement to any setting. Plus, the Prestige Collection features the same interlocking edges that make the complete line so easy to install.</p>
<p><a title="Konecto Vinyl Flooring" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/konecto-vinyl-flooring.html" target="_blank">Konecto vinyl flooring </a>is surging in popularity lately, thanks in part to homeowners’ changing perception of this high-quality product. It’s beautiful, durable, easy to install, easy to maintain, and best of all, it’s economical. If you’d like to discuss some Konecto options for your own project, please give us a call at <strong>(866) 705-1340</strong><strong>. </strong>One of our Konecto experts will be happy to help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If imitation is the greatest form of flattery, then rocks and trees ought to be feeling pretty good about themselves right now. Why? Because Earthwerks vinyl takes imitation seriously. <a title="Earthwerks Vinyl Flooring" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/earthwerks-vinyl-flooring.html" target="_blank">Earthwerks Vinyl</a> floors are inspired by the beauty of nature – the organic opulence of natural hardwood, the timeless stability of quarried stone. The legendary look of these natural treasures is so flawlessly captured throughout the Earthwerks product line that it is often difficult to differentiate earth-made from man-made. Not only do Earthwerks vinyl floors offer striking natural looks, they are also extremely durable and economical as well. Looks, strength, price – in the flooring world, that’s the trifecta of excellence.</p>
<p>Earthwerks vinyl so closely resembles natural materials because it is manufactured using cutting-edge technology, high-tech machinery and the industry’s most advanced printing processes. Today’s new technology can easily create such</p>
<div id="attachment_77" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://laminateflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/earthwerks-innsbruck-plank.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-77" title="Earthwerks Innsbruck Plank" src="http://laminateflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/earthwerks-innsbruck-plank-150x150.jpg" alt="Earthwerks Innsbruck Plank" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Earthwerks Innsbruck Plank</p></div>
<p>stunning reproductions, whereas only a decade or so ago, vinyl imaging was markedly inferior. To further enhance the natural look, Earthwerks vinyl flooring is cut into planks and squares complete with beveled edges and ends just like hardwood and tile. Each plank features distinct natural grain patterns and color variations to create the most authentic look possible. The <a title="Earthwerks Innsbruck Vinyl Plank" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/earthwerks-innsbruck-vinyl.html" target="_blank">Innsbruck Plank</a> collection is a perfect example of Earthwerks’ ability to capture natural hardwood beauty. Designers in search of classic tile styles will love the <a title="Earthwerks Ceramic Collection" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/earthwerks-ceramic-vinyl.html" target="_blank">Earthwerks Ceramic</a> collection.

<div id="attachment_78" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://laminateflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/earthwerks-pavia-stone.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-78" title="Earthwerks Pavia Stone" src="http://laminateflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/earthwerks-pavia-stone-150x150.jpg" alt="Earthwerks Pavia Stone" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Earthwerks Pavia Stone</p></div>
<p>In addition to the natural beauty, Earthwerks vinyl is also exceptionally durable. The high-quality resilient material is made from up to 50% recycled content that is fused and pressed under high temperatures and pressures, then finished with a printed upper layer and a special 20mm protective surface for superior abrasion resistance. Vinyl is also naturally resistant to liquid spills and stains. Overall, <a title="Earthwerks Vinyl Flooring" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/earthwerks-vinyl-flooring.html" target="_blank">Earthwerks Vinyl</a> is a fantastic choice for use in high traffic areas, kitchens and halls throughout the home, but the floors really excel in commercial environments. Imagine adding the stunning beauty and warmth of a hardwood floor to a restaurant or retail space, without having to worry about traffic and water damage. In fact, <a title="Earthwerks Legacy Plank" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/earthwerks-legacy-vinyl.html" target="_blank">Earthwerks Legacy Plank </a>line is a fabulous choice for doing just that.</p>
<p>One of the best benefits of vinyl in general, is that it is a cost effective alternative to natural wood, tile or stone. Because Earthwerks isn’t strapped with the high costs of harvesting or quarrying the material before production, they can offer their high-quality vinyl flooring at a much more reasonable price. For larger commercial projects of cost-conscious remodels, this factor can make vinyls very appealing. Add in the striking detail of the color reproductions, and Earthwerks vinyl clearly becomes the natural choice.</p>
<p>If Earthwerks vinyl looks intriguing, be sure to stop by a local retailer to check out the collection in person. Then, feel free to call us at <strong>(866) 705</strong><strong>-</strong><strong>1340 </strong>for a quote, or if you have any further questions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wood, stone, tile, wood, stone tile, blah, blah, boring! Often, it seems like all of the popular flooring options are just variations of the same three basic styles. Sure, tile, stone and wood floors are all awesome in their own ways, but sometimes, the boring basics just aren’t good enough. Luckily, there are some exciting options out there – and some are far from ordinary. <strong><a title="Vinyl Flooring" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/vinyl-flooring.html" target="_blank">Vinyl flooring,</a></strong> offers literally hundreds of colors, patterns, shades, and prints. Some are relatively traditional, and some are better suited for decorating a retro neon dance club of the future. Let’s take a moment to explore some of the vinyl option on the market today.</p>
<div id="attachment_100" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vinyl-2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-100" title="Vinyl 2" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vinyl-2.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Amitco Advanced Vinyl</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s true that vinyl has gotten a bad rap from time to time. Many people associate vinyl with the kitschy linoleum look of cheaply manufactured homes. Now, that may have been the case in the past, but this is 2011, and technology has developed immensely. Today, vinyl manufacturers such as <strong><a title="Amitco Vinyl" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/amtico-vinyl-flooring.html" target="_blank">Amitco</a>, <a title="Decoria Vinyl" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/decoria-vinyl-flooring.html" target="_blank">Decoria</a>, <a title="Earthwerks Vinyl" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/earthwerks-vinyl-flooring.html" target="_blank">Earthwerks</a>, </strong>and <a title="MetroFlor" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/metroflor-vinyl-flooring.html" target="_blank"><strong>Metroflor</strong></a> offer high-tech vinyl flooring that is ultra-durable, easy to install, economical and available in an incredible array of colors and styles. New advancements in printing techniques combined with cutting edge synthetic materials make modern vinyl not only striking to behold, but also sturdier than ever.</p>
<div id="attachment_101" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vinyl-3.gif"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-101" title="Vinyl 3" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vinyl-3-150x150.gif" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Amitco Advanced Aqua Spa Pool</p></div>
<p>Vinyl flooring is available in a wide variety of conventional stone and wood reproduction prints, but it is the new <em>unconventional</em> styles that make vinyl an exciting alternative. <a title="Amitco Advanced" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/amtico-advanced.html" target="_blank"><strong>Amitco Advanced</strong></a> vinyl is leading the charge in bold new vinyl looks. For example, <a title="Aqua Pool Spa" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/amtico-advanced-aqua-spa-pool-12-x-12-luxury-vinyl-tile-flooring.html" target="_blank"><strong>Aqua</strong> <strong>Spa Pool</strong></a> mimics the wavy flow of liquid water. This wild and watery print is available in several aquatic colors. <a title="Urban Metal Carbon" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/amtico-advanced-urban-metal-carbon-12-x-12-luxury-vinyl-tile-flooring.html" target="_blank"><strong>Urban Metal Carbon</strong></a> is a striking style that resembles solid metal. This ultra-sleek industrial look is a perfect complement to modern workspaces, high tech offices, and basement that double as bat caves.</p>
<p>Designing a new retro-chic retail space? Amitco’s<a title="Pure Plain Flamingo" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/amtico-advanced-pure-plain-flamingo-12-x-12-luxury-vinyl-tile-flooring.html" target="_blank"> <strong>Pure Plain Flamingo</strong></a> and <a title="Pure Plain Kiwi" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/amtico-advanced-pure-plain-kiwi-12-x-12-luxury-vinyl-tile-flooring.html" target="_blank"><strong>Pure Plain Kiwi</strong> </a>are exploding with eye-catching neon newness like a sweet pair of Hammer-pants from ’88. Seriously, these vinyl shades are guaranteed to make a bold statement. The Pure Plain line is available in a total of eight cool colors.</p>
<div id="attachment_102" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vinyl-5.gif"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-102" title="Vinyl 5" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vinyl-5-150x150.gif" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Amitco Advanced Pure Plain Flamingo</p></div>
<p><a title="Metal Coin" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/amtico-advanced-metal-coin-12in-x-12in-vinyl.html" target="_blank"><strong>Metal Coin</strong></a> is another popular look. This penny-colored copper hue resembles the old tin-plate ceilings that can still sometimes be found in buildings constructed around the turn of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. Of course, this is vinyl not tin, and it goes on the floor instead of the ceiling, but the overall look is still dramatic nonetheless. <a title="Metal Frost" href="http://www.qualityflooring4less.com/amtico-advanced-urban-metal-frost-12-x-12-luxury-vinyl-tile-flooring.html" target="_blank"><strong>Metal Frost</strong></a> is another interesting shade with an almost pearlescent glow. These ultra-modern metallics are perfect for contemporary kitchens or office spaces.</p>
<div id="attachment_103" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vinyl-4.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-103 " title="Vinyl 4" src="http://vinylflooringnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vinyl-4.gif" alt="" width="150" height="148" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Amitco Advanced Urban Metal Carbon</p></div>
<p>Vinyl flooring offers some truly exciting alternatives to the traditional trifecta of tile, wood and stone. After all, every homeowner is a unique individual with their own unique quirks and distinct personalities. Why shouldn’t there be a floor for the person who has always wished to have a swimming pool in the living room, or who wants to turn the den into a metallic asteroid colony, or wants to build a neon disco in the garage? Vinyl can provide!</p>
