Vinyl Flooring
Overview & Use Cases
Vinyl Flooring is a versatile umbrella category that covers resilient floor and wall systems used in offices, retail, healthcare, education, hospitality, transportation and multi-family residential developments. We focus on materials-only supply for B2B customers: distributors, contractors, developers, architects and facility owners. Installation is performed by your appointed installer or contractor.
Why spec vinyl for projects?
-
Durability for heavy traffic: wear layers up to 1 mm; commercial/industrial classes 32–43.
-
Hygiene & maintenance: polyurethane (PU) surface treatments reduce cleaning costs and allow neutral detergents.
-
Design flexibility: authentic wood/stone/abstract visuals in sheets, tiles and planks.
-
Acoustic comfort: solutions with up to 19 dB impact sound reduction (system-dependent).
-
Waterproof and seamless options: wetroom systems with hot-welded seams and integrated coving.
-
Budget control: favorable cost-per-m² vs. stone/ceramic; competitive lifecycle costs.
Product Types
Use this section to navigate to the right specification. Each item links to a dedicated subpage.
Technical &
Compliance
Full technical values and Declarations of Performance are provided on the respective subcategory/product pages on request.
-
Use classes: EN/ISO commercial 33–34, light industrial 41–43 (product dependent).
-
Wear layers (modular & sheet): typical ranges 0.3–1 mm; total thickness up to ~3.2 mm for acoustic builds.
-
Fire performance: commonly Bfl, Cfl (check DoP); wallcoverings typically B-s2, d0 or project-specific.
-
Slip resistance: R8–R11; safety floors available for wet/greasy zones (R10–R12).
-
Indoor air quality: low VOC options; look for indoor air certifications (e.g., M1, FloorScore, equivalent).
-
Hygiene: heat-weldable seams; coved skirtings for seamless, cleanable transitions in healthcare and wet areas.
-
Acoustics: impact sound reduction up to 19 dB (with acoustic backing or underlay).
-
Static control: conductive/dissipative systems for electronics, labs, healthcare (see Static Control solution).
Performance & Lifecycle Value
Cleaning cost advantage
PU surfaces and homogeneous/seamless detailing reduce down-time and OPEX over 10–15 years.
Repairability
Modular formats (LVT/SPC) allow spot replacements; sheet vinyl supports localized patches with hot-welded seams.
Resilience & comfort
Vinyl provides underfoot comfort versus stone; acoustic builds lower reverberation in open-plan spaces.
Renovation speed
SPC/LVT click solutions minimize closure time and can often float over suitable subfloors.
Sectors & Typical Applications
Healthcare
Wards, corridors, wetrooms, treatment rooms (homogeneous, wetroom, wallcoverings)
Education
Classrooms, corridors, canteens, sports halls (heterogeneous, sports vinyl)
Office & Corporate
Open-plan offices, meeting rooms, amenities (LVT, SPC, wallcoverings)
Retail
Sales floors, back-of-house, fitting rooms (heterogeneous, LVT, SPC)
Hospitality & MFH
rooms, corridors, amenities, kitchens (LVT, SPC, wetrooms)
Transportation
Vehicle interiors and terminals (specialized transport solutions under “Specific Solutions”)
Comparison:
LVT vs SPC vs Laminate
For wet areas, specify wetroom sheet systems with welded seams rather than modular LVT/SPC.

FAQ
Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions our customers ask when choosing flooring. This section is designed to help you make confident and informed decisions. If you don’t see the information you’re looking for, feel free to contact our support team — we’re always here to help.
Which vinyl type is best for hospitals and labs?
+
Homogeneous sheet with hot-welded seams and coved skirtings delivers seamless hygiene and robust wear resistance.
We need high acoustic comfort in classrooms—what to choose?
+
Heterogeneous sheet with acoustic backing (or LVT with acoustic underlay) achieving up to ~19 dB impact sound reduction.
Can LVT/SPC be used in wetrooms?
+
No. For showers and continuously wet zones, specify wetroom sheet systems with welded seams and integrated drains/coving.
What slip rating do we need for kitchens or ramps?
+
Use safety floors with targeted R-ratings (R10–R12) and appropriate surface textures; confirm local code requirements.
How to manage subfloor moisture and flatness?
+
Follow moisture testing standards; use appropriate primers/levelling compounds as per adhesive/system guidance (by installer).
Do you provide installation?
+
We provide materials-only supply and documentation. Installation is performed by your selected contractor/installer.
Can we request EPD/LCA and indoor air certificates?
+
Yes—EPD/LCA and indoor air quality documentation is available for many lines; request with your specification.
