PORCELANATO VS PISO VINÍLICO - QUAL O MELHOR PISO ?

Which is the BEST flooring for your home, PORCELAIN or VINYL FLOORING? Many people have doubts about which flooring to choose for each room, or even if it's worth using the same flooring throughout the house. However, there are many flooring options on the market, and that's why in the BATTLE OF MATERIALS segment we're going to put these two finishes head-to-head and see which one is best in the end. Both types of flooring can be used in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, fitted kitchens, open-plan kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms. Porcelain tile flooring comes in a wide variety of finishes, such as polished porcelain, satin porcelain, glazed porcelain, and non-slip for outdoor areas. Furthermore, it can be made in many colors and patterns, including wood-look porcelain, marble-look porcelain, porcelain that imitates polished cement, gray porcelain, white porcelain, black porcelain, corten steel, etc. Just don't confuse it with liquid porcelain, which is a resin floor, okay? Vinyl flooring, on the other hand, is made with a PVC base. It's a flexible and very thin flooring. It can be self-adhesive vinyl flooring, glued vinyl flooring, click vinyl flooring, or sheet vinyl flooring. Vinyl flooring has been gaining a lot of popularity in decoration because it's very practical and quick to install. It has a finish that imitates wood, but there are also vinyl floors that imitate marble, polished cement, tiles, etc. We can use vinyl flooring on the ceiling, vinyl flooring on the headboard, as a panel, or even as a kitchen backsplash. The same can be said of porcelain tile, with a porcelain headboard or even a porcelain TV panel, but it's much more versatile, as we can use it on porcelain countertops, outdoor flooring, house facades, pool edges, bathroom floors, bathroom cladding, etc. In terms of installation, porcelain tile is glued down with mortar, followed by grout. Vinyl flooring, on the other hand, uses a leveling compound, and both glued and click-lock models are available. Porcelain tile can be simpler to install in this respect. However, vinyl flooring is easier to install over other floors, such as ceramic tile, stone, or even porcelain tile, as it's a thinner material and doesn't hinder installation. Vinyl flooring offers better thermal comfort because it doesn't change temperature, which is great for colder climates, as porcelain tile is cold and may not be as pleasant in those locations. However, underfloor heating is possible with both types of flooring. Both types of flooring are durable, but vinyl flooring can fade with frequent direct sunlight. It's also somewhat fragile when it comes to moisture, as it can detach. Therefore, it's only recommended for the outside of the shower stall in bathrooms, never inside. In an American-style kitchen, you can separate the living room floor from the kitchen floor if you have a habit of splashing water in the kitchen, but if you can wash the floor only with a damp cloth, you can have vinyl flooring in the kitchen without any problems. Vinyl flooring can also scratch, so it's good to use a felt pad on the underside to prevent problems. Porcelain tile flooring can also be scratched, but it accepts polishing. The labor for installing porcelain tile flooring is done by a tile setter or bricklayer, but vinyl flooring installation is done by an installer, who can also install your polystyrene, PVC, EVA, plaster, etc. baseboards. When we compare the price of vinyl flooring and the price of porcelain tile, on average vinyl flooring is more expensive, but there are indeed porcelain tiles that are much more expensive than vinyl flooring, okay? In the end, we can say that porcelain tile has more advantages than vinyl flooring, but the best option will always be the one that best suits your needs, fits your budget, and matches your daily routine and maintenance. So, evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each option I mentioned in the video to make your choice.
