    6. 5 Characteristics of Resilient Floors Vinyl Pure vinyl or a vinyl blend Best types are thick and have homogeneous color Conventional or no-wax Easy to care for and provides good traction Impervious to most stains May yellow with soiling Asphalt Decay and mildew proof Resists fire and ink stains Relatively inexpensive and durable Resists damage from alkaline moisture Cracks and chips easily

    7. 6 Characteristics of Resilient Floors Rubber Very resilient and sound-reducing Relatively inexpensive and durable Provides good traction even when wet May be damaged by oil, grease, high heat, and detergent Linoleum Inexpensive May be bonded to burlap or felt for extra strength Easily installed and maintained Can be damaged by strong detergents
