Best vinyl tile patterns for your kitchen

Vinyl tiles are synthetic layered materials that are pressed together to create a floor covering that is durable. Many people prefer vinyl tiles because they are cost-effective, making them more affordable than other types of flooring. They come in a variety of patterns too, allowing for floor customisation according to people’s individual tastes.

Here’s what you need to know about vinyl tile patterns:

Type of vinyl flooring

There are 2 main types of vinyl flooring, namely vinyl roll and luxury vinyl tiles. They’re both created from the same materials, with the only difference between them being how they are constructed.

Vinyl roll

This type of vinyl flooring comes in flexible sheets with a fibreglass and cushion back. They come in an array of colours, styles and patterns. They’re also phthalate-free and usually have low volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions, both of these are known to cause adverse health conditions in instances of prolonged exposure.

Luxury vinyl tile

This type of vinyl flooring is created to mimic other types of flooring that are usually more expensive, such as ceramic tile and hardwood flooring. Luxury vinyl tiles can be flexible or sturdy and they are easy to install due to their modular design, with some people even installing them without moving furniture out of the room.
