When choosing flooring, comparing vinyl and laminate flooring is a frequent question. Each solution has its own characteristics, but vinyl flooring has clear advantages that make it a versatile and durable option for a variety of environments.
Moisture Resistance and Dimensional Stability
Trevo Floors vinyl flooring, available in several collections—from the thinnest 5.5 mm, through 6.5 mm, to 9 mm options with WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) core and 9 mm Trevo Master—is made of polymer and stone powder to ensure high moisture resistance.
Unlike laminate flooring, which can swell and warp when exposed to water, vinyl flooring remains stable even in humid environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, or commercial spaces with greater exposure to liquids.
Acoustic and Thermal Comfort
The Trevo vinyl collections combine layers that provide excellent acoustic comfort, reducing impact noise and making spaces quieter and more pleasant. The WPC core and thickness of Trevo Master (9 mm) reinforce this insulation, something that laminate flooring, due to its construction, cannot guarantee with the same effectiveness.
In addition, vinyl flooring is more comfortable to the touch and maintains a pleasant temperature, contributing to the thermal comfort of the environment.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
Trevo vinyl flooring, in all collections, features quick “click” installation systems, eliminating the need for glue. The same applies to the more robust 9 mm WPC and Trevo Master collections, which combine ease of installation with high resistance.
In terms of maintenance, vinyl flooring stands out for its simplicity: regular cleaning with a damp cloth and neutral detergents is all that is needed to preserve its appearance and durability. Laminate flooring, on the other hand, requires additional care to prevent leaks and damage caused by moisture.
Durability and Aesthetics
Trevo vinyl is highly resistant to scratches, stains, and everyday wear and tear, ensuring floors with an impeccable appearance for many years. The diversity of the collections allows you to choose between different thicknesses and patterns, from thinner options for economical projects to premium solutions with greater robustness and comfort, such as Trevo Master.
Although laminate can offer aesthetics, its durability may be inferior in environments with heavy traffic or exposure to moisture.
Conclusion
Whether for residential, office, or commercial spaces, Trevo vinyl flooring stands out as the most complete solution compared to laminate flooring. With its 5.5 mm, 6.5 mm, 9 mm WPC, and premium 9 mm Trevo Master collections, it offers superior moisture resistance, acoustic and thermal comfort, ease of installation and maintenance, and durability.
