Vinyl

Vinyl tile is the most affordable material that you can use to achieve a wooden flooring look. New designs simulate planks of light, medium, and dark wood tones; others have built-in parquet or geometric patterns. Since they can be easily cut to size and shape, vinyl tiles are flexible in any room orientation or shape. Apart from ease of installation, vinyl flooring also boasts of a very low maintenance requirement. Cleaning it with damp cloth and occasional sweeping are all you need to keep it shiny.
Vinyl is relatively thinner and softer than other materials, so it may not be advisable for high-traffic areas. However, if you really intend to use vinyl on high-traffic areas, choose one that has its wood color and pattern throughout the entire thickness of the tile, and not those whose pattern is only printed on the top layer. Opting for the former assures you that although it may be prone to scratches, it will still have the same wood color and not black.
