Dining Rooms

• Wear-resistant flooring is a must if the floor is used regularly at mealtime
• Stain-resistant floors are necessary for any area prone to food spills

Sheet Vinyl: Perhaps the most common choice today, sheet vinyl comes in a huge array of colors and patterns. Sheet vinyl is attractive, highly water resistant, and very affordable, and since it's available in both 6- and 12-foot widths, many dining rooms can be done without a seam.

• Soft underfoot in many instances
• Can imitate more expensive floor

coverings

discolor with age
