You may know cushioned vinyl as lino flooring. Both have similar properties, although the greatest advantage of vinyl is its ability to withstand water, making it ideal for places where spillages are likely such as kitchens and bathrooms. Its resilience against water comes with another benefit - it is highly slip-resistant. Not only does this make it perfect for home use, but it means vinyl is great for commercial settings where it's of paramount importance that the risk of slips, trips and falls be minimised.
