As you probably know by now, PVC is a versatile polymer compound that is used in pretty much everything. What you may not know is that PVC flooring is fast becoming one of the most popular types of floor tiles, both commercially and residentially.
Is PVC And Vinyl Flooring the Same?
In one word, yes. Vinyl is another term for PVC compound, so essentially the vinyl flooring is made from PVC (vinyl) compounds. So, without further ado, here are 5 things you need to know about PVC flooring, and why you should install it.
It’s Beautiful
PVC floor tiles come in many looks. They can be made in a variety of different colours to match the theme or décor of a space or room. The floor tiles in the colour black are the most popular, which is very useful for work-shop areas and garages where you would want the maintenance to be low and the durability to be high!
It’s Robust
PVC is one of the most robust and durable materials in the world. It can be made to be flame retardant, oil resistant and is inherently resistant. It can withstand high volumes of foot traffic as well as vehicle traffic and oil spills. You will often come across it in gyms in the weights section as it is easy to clean and much healthier than carpet. In your house, it is great for kitchens and garages, and especially kids’ rooms where spills happen more than often.
It’s Really Easy to Lay
Laying wooden flooring or traditional tiles can be a real pain. You need all sorts of things such as grouting and wood filler. PVC or Vinyl flooring comes in a number of options, including tiles, planks and sheets to name a few. They often interlock too, making it even easier to get them to fit. If you have a space that is not quite perfectly sized for your vinyl flooring, you can simply cut off the end neatly.
It’s Safe and Hygienic
Polyvinyl chloride floors are easy to clean, hygienic and can be non-slip. Because PVC (vinyl) floors can be bacteria-free it may be a better alternative to carpets and porous tiles. To clean them you simply need a mop and some cleaning agent. Sweep to get rid of any standing dirt and give them a quick mop to return your floors to their original sparkling shine.
It’s Cost-Effective
PVC flooring installation is much more cost-effective than many other flooring options. There are many varieties available to suit almost every budget. When PVC compound is made, it is an efficient process. It also uses less water than cement and fewer chemicals than other processes.
It is also totally recyclable!
