vinyl

Hi,

I need to put flooring in the kitchen. I wantvinyl down but im not sure which one to put down. I have two choices vinyl planks or vinyl sheets. Which one is more durable and better out of the two. If i put down the planks with it having thin gaps if i mop the floor would it start to peel off over time due to the moisture? The vinyl planks I have seen is made by karndean. Please help

Have a look at armstrong stuff (http://www.armstrong-flooring.co.uk/commflreu/en-gb/)
Probably one of the best on the market, and i know their wooden look ones do actually have the look and feel of real wood as we have some at home

Having used vinyl tile, let me give this advice. Don't use them anyplace where there will be moisture. The moisture from wet feet, mopping, etc. goes down the cracks around the tiles and soaks into the wood floor under it. With time, the floor swells and you have an uneven floor.

I suggest for areas that will be mopped or exposed to moisture, the use of Linoleum or ceramic tile. There isn't a thin crack around them for water to go down and soak into the floor. (ceramic tile has water proof grout filling the cracks)
