Laminate flooring vs vinyl plank flooring. If you have a tight budget, you may be weighing up the costs between the installation of laminate flooring and vinyl plank flooring. Going this route won't help you cut expenses necessarily.

Vinyl floors don't use the same click-in system as laminate flooring; they're directly glued to your sub-floor. Installers use glue directly on the timber or concrete sub-floor. There's a lot more labour required in the installation as it involves gluing and buffing to eradicate any gaps.

One of the problems with some types of floors is that they don't last as long as you would want them to. If you needed them to, you would need to focus a lot of your attention on maintenance, which can sometimes be expensive and inconvenient.

Laminate flooring is made from materials which are very resistant to the elements as well as any other forces that might damage any other kind of floor. For instance, they tend to be very hard, which means that scratching is less likely to occur as compared to say a wooden floor.
