Are you considering having vinyl siding installed in your home? There are lots of options available that may or may not be right for you. Luckily, you don't have to go into the installation process wondering whether you're making the right investment decision. Here are a couple of things that you can do to help ensure that you choose a flooring type that best suits your needs:

Ask Your Dealer About Pros and Cons

One important thing to do is ask your dealer for a list of pros and cons for each type of vinyl tile flooring you consider investing in. If a particular tile is more fragile than other options on the market, your dealer should have no problem telling you so. Their job is just as much to make sure you know what you're investing in as it is to make money. Here are some things your dealer should cover when it comes to providing you with the pros and cons for each flooring option you're interested in:

• Durability
• Waterproof Performance
• Ease of Installation
• Ease of Cleaning
• Design Options

Once you have a list of pros and cons for a particular type of vinyl tile flooring that you're interested in, you can spend some time evaluating each point to figure out whether that's the tile for you or if you should keep looking to find one that better suits your household's needs.

Understand the Maintenance Requirements

Once you have narrowed down your options to just two or three, it's a good idea to make sure that you understand the maintenance requirements for each one before making a final purchasing decision. Tile is typically easy to clean, but it is not immune to scuffs and stains. Does the vinyl you're looking at require professional cleanings when scuffs or stains present themselves, or can it hold up to things like a nylon-brush scrubber, baking soda, and even WD-40 so you can clean it yourself?

Are there any special protectants you should put on the floor regularly throughout the year? What steps are recommended to protect the vinyl tile from damage as time goes on? The more you know about maintenance, the better you can judge whether you'll be able to keep up with your new flooring long-term.

Talk to your dealer today about the pros and cons of vinyl siding they offer and schedule an appointment for an in-home consultation where you can discuss maintenance requirements and other details. For more information on tile flooring, contact a professional near you.
