Vinyl Plank That Looks Like Real Wood
If you’re going for a more rustic look in your business or home, vinyl plank is one of the best choices in flooring. Even experts can’t tell the difference between vinyl’s faux hardwood from the real thing.
You’ll find a lot of reviews on our Floor City site recommending this floor for different residential rooms. For instance, one reviewer for the Waterfront Sky Blue product mentions how they used it in their kitchen and hallway:
This is the floor to use if you need something that can hold up under the most strenuous floor traffic. Bathrooms are another great place to use Pryzm flooring considering you’ll likely spend just as much time there as you do in your kitchen.
Many of our reviewers mention using this floor in their bathrooms while praising our customer service.
Strong Hybrid Construction
The science behind the durability of these floors is worth learning about. It all comes down to four specific layers Armstrong uses.
It starts with a commercial-grade wear layer to help bring dent protection from any heavy furniture, or if you drop heavy objects. Next is a design layer giving you realistic textures, proving even faux hardwood can feel like the real thing.
Third is a waterproof core to help protect from reasonable amounts of water. Water may occur in places like bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms, though it can also happen in other rooms. Your pets or children could track in water to your living room or bedrooms.
Our reviews prove many people do use Pryzm floors in their living rooms, and even bedrooms. One reviewer showed us they installed their floor in both rooms:
Installing these floors in many other types of rooms makes the fourth layer all the more important. Using a cork backing, this final layer brings added comfort and sound absorption.
Those of you who entertain often in your home will appreciate being able to control any annoying noises. As an owner of a business with hundreds of customers per day, you’ll need something to control the crowd noise so you don’t drive everyone crazy due to bad acoustics.
Easy Installation Methods
Now that you know how durable Armstrong’s Pryzm floors are, you’ll also want to know how easy these are to install.
The good news here is installation is very simple as long as you have some basic knowledge of flooring tools. Putting the floor together is the easiest part thanks to interlocking features. All you need to do is lock the planks together and put them in place.
These floors also come with an attached cork underlayment so you’ll have smooth placement. Your subfloor may have some irregularities, and this makes for an easier installation without doing repairs first.
When working on a deadline for your installation, you won’t have to worry about waiting for weeks to obtain your floor. As you can see with our site reviews, all our customers experience superior turnaround time and delivery methods.
Contractors will appreciate being able to have your floor immediately rather than waiting on a backorder. Also, if you’re installing on your own, you’ll be able to get your floor installed quickly without delays.
Just remember: if you think you can’t install the floor on your own, don’t feel too proud to hire a professional installer. Our staff is here to help if it’s necessary.
Styles and Finishing Touches
Different types of wood styles are available in Pryzm flooring so you can customize any room. Armstrong is one of the few offering many more convincing looks of wood with high-performance abilities.
You can enjoy the look of reclaimed timber, brushed wood, weathered effects, and even multi-width planks.
For unique-shaped rooms, the latter is important so you don’t have to rely on uniform sizes.
Many of our reviews note the convenience of different sizes available.
One reviewer mentioned they were able to buy 130 sq. ft. to cover their living space. A lot of our reviewers (like this one) note our great prices and customer service.
It’s possible to obtain coordinated trims on your Pryzm floors so you always have the perfect match. When installing your floor around steps, we’ll also provide stair noses to help complete the design of your living areas.
