Vinyl flooring is a 100% synthetic material and the base layer is usually fiberglass. The base layer is then coated with PVC vinyl and plasticizer to bond as one.

From the material made up, we can know that Vinyl flooring has a higher resistance to moisture and water because of its base material. Unlike wood base laminate flooring, the wood material has the potential of rot and termite risk.

Although you can apply water-resistant or moisture barrier to the laminate flooring yet you can't deny the risk is still present.

Vinyl flooring usually required adhesive to the bonding so that it can stick to the underlayment.

Vinyl flooring can design to look similar to wood product but the surface touch is obviously different.

The thickness of the vinyl is also thinner than laminate flooring but Vinyl flooring require professional installation since it requires the usage of adhesive.
