What Exactly is Vinyl Flooring?

Vinyl flooring, also recognized as PVC flooring, is an immensely popular choice for floor coverings. Primarily composed of synthetic materials like PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), it may also incorporate additives such as plasticizers, stabilizers, and pigments.

Types of Vinyl Flooring Produced

We produce various types of vinyl flooring, including SPC rigid core flooring, LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring, and traditional PVC flooring. Here’s a concise description of each:

SPC Rigid Core Flooring: Composition: Combines stone powder with PVC to form a robust and stable foundation.

LVT Flooring (Luxury Vinyl Tile):Composition: Consists of multiple PVC layers, topped with a wear layer for enhanced durability.

Installation Methods for Vinyl Flooring:

Vinyl flooring can be installed through several methods, namely click lock, glue down, and loose lay. Here’s a brief explanation of each:

Click Lock Installation:
This method utilizes a locking mechanism to interconnect the flooring pieces, eliminating the need for glue or adhesive.
Glue Down Installation:
Involves adhering the flooring to the subfloor using an adhesive, providing a strong and permanent bond.
Loose Lay Installation:
Simply places the flooring pieces directly on the subfloor without any adhesive or locking mechanism, held in place by friction and the weight of furniture and other objects.
