As both functional and cost-effective vinyl floors has proven itself over time. Those two things by themselves can be enough for the scales to tip towards vinyl and are not able to afford more expensive options. {Another big plus is that it is very easy to install for the normal home owner which can have save on cost}.
I would stronglyurge that you opts for as thick of vinyl as you can afford because it will help increase the lifespan dramatically. Also another recommendation would be to get the vinyl that is a solid color threw the entire sheet which will also help to maintain the look over time. If you go for a product that has some sort of design or pattern on it then you definitely want to spring for the solid color because otherwise when it starts to wear you will probably end up being unhappy with your choice to save a few dollars.
In the old days vinyl used to come in 6 inch wide sheets which some people thought made the room look small and cramped, especially in an already small kitchen. Today the sheet sizes are 12 inches wide which gives the room and more open and roomy feeling.
Pros:
-Easy on limbs (this will also vary depending on what is under the vinyl)
-Long-lasting
-Low cost
-Resistant to both heat and water when properly sealed.
Cons:
-Lower grades of vinyl will discolor over time.
-If not properly installed the edges have a tendency to curl.
For an average cost of between $1.50-5.50 vinyl is one of the most inexpensive options out there today. If you combine this with how easy it is to maintain and the variety of options out there today vinyl is a strong runner for almost any but the high-end kitchens.
