Get Ready to Be Floored! THINK REALTY SUPPLIER SHERWIN-WILLIAMS OFFERS DISCOUNTS ON PAINT AND FLOORING FOR YOUR INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

V inyl plank has come a long way since appearing in 1933. Today’s vinyl plank options are much higher quality than even what was available five years ago. Modern vinyl plank stands up to heavier traffic volumes and is easier to maintain than its predecessors. Additionally, water-resistant finishes are becoming more sophisticated, with many manufacturers now selling 100 percent waterproof vinyl plank. One of the biggest benefits of vinyl plank is its longevity — the average life of vinyl plank is 10 or more years. “This enables a better return on investment for property owners than many other flooring options and is why around half of the top real

estate investment trusts in the country are installing vinyl plank at properties in varying scales. For homes that are frequently replacing carpet during resident turnover, vinyl plank is a good option,” said Justin Brazie, director of marketing-applicators and decorative products at Sherwin-Williams. Another significant benefit of vinyl plank is the variety of colors, finishes and textures, with many high-end styles offering the look and feel of stone, wood, and ceramic tile. Currently, grays and blonds are the top color choices. This product variety helps to provide an even better investment for property owners as occupants look for stylish, trendy options that also help to justify higher selling prices. •
