Debunking Common Myths

 

“Vinyl can’t be used in wet areas.”
False. Urbanality 12 is 100% waterproof. It works great in bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways.

“All vinyl looks cheap.”
Not true. This collection features subtle, natural-looking textures that match many modern wood styles.

“Thin planks mean poor quality.”
Nope. The thinner design is intentional for low-profile installation and fits under most doors and appliances. It’s still strong enough for residential and light commercial use.
