"Linoleum and vinyl are both very long-lasting products. But in terms of durability, vinyl floor tiles definitely have the edge. Not only are they resistant to scratches, stains, and furniture dents, they're also fully waterproof and can withstand heavy and continuous levels of footfall"

"You should use LVT. It is much more hard wearing and lasts so much longer"

"Linoleum is considered the more durable flooring material, thanks to the construction that features solid material through the thickness of the flooring. Both types of flooring are fairly easy to maintain, but unlike vinyl flooring, linoleum requires periodic sealing to keep it resistant to moisture and stains.
