The term “resilient” is often used to describe a community, business or even a natural area that demonstrates strength during hardship and the ability to adjust under pressure. “Resilient” is also the name for a category of flooring products that possess the physical strength and flexibility to stand up to nearly anything your family can throw at it, spill on it, drop on it, or run across it. It has more “give” than hardwood, stone, cement, or ceramic tile but less than carpet, making it an ideal choice for everyday life.
The resilient flooring category is comprised of many specific floor types. While architects and designers are familiar with the phrase “resilient floors,” it’s quite likely you’ve encountered these floors under specific product names, such as luxury vinyl tile, rubber, linoleum, or cork floors.
