Kitchen Floor - Armstrong Sedona Morning Mauve Sheet Vinyl

Copyright Armstrong
When it comes to kitchen floor, you definitely want something that will shed water and stand up to heavy traffic. Sheet vinyl does all that, and it's a fast install. Best of all, sheet vinyl has no seams (or at worst, one or two seams), to better resist moisture and spills.

Sheet vinyl comes in wide rolls. The style shown here, Armstrong Sedona Morning Mauve, comes in 12 foot wide rolls and has what Armstrong calls CushionStep--an extra layer of cushion to combat that "hard feeling" that sheet and tile vinyl tend to have.

Because of the unwieldy sheet vinyl rolls and difficulty of installation, sheet vinyl is best left in the hands of pro installers.
