Another cost advantage of vinyl is that it is easy to install, and the process can usually be done even by amateurs. With tiles, you just have to adhere various pieces into straight lines, rows, or whatever pattern is chosen. Sheet versions will be more difficult, requiring precise cutting to fit the material into the space available. Note: Vinyl flooring tends to last for 8–12 years, but after that, the wear layer will begin to fade and the floor may have to be replaced.
