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. Vinyl flooring, 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.
Amitco Advanced Vinyl
It’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 Amitco, Decoria, Earthwerks, and Metroflor 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.
Amitco Advanced Aqua Spa Pool
Vinyl flooring is available in a wide variety of conventional stone and wood reproduction prints, but it is the new unconventional styles that make vinyl an exciting alternative. Amitco Advanced vinyl is leading the charge in bold new vinyl looks. For example, Aqua Spa Pool mimics the wavy flow of liquid water. This wild and watery print is available in several aquatic colors. Urban Metal Carbon 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.
Designing a new retro-chic retail space? Amitco’s Pure Plain Flamingo and Pure Plain Kiwi 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.

Metal Coin 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 20th 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. Metal Frost is another interesting shade with an almost pearlescent glow. These ultra-modern metallics are perfect for contemporary kitchens or office spaces.

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!
