What Is Vinyl Flooring?
Vinyl is a synthetic flooring material made primarily from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or a blend of PVC and other materials. It’s designed to mimic the look of natural flooring materials like wood or stone but with added durability and water resistance. Available in various forms, including luxury vinyl planks (LVP) and vinyl sheets, this option provides aesthetic appeal and practical functionality, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of spaces.
Material Composition and Dimensions
Vinyl flooring is crafted from PVC or PVC blends, providing a strong, flexible material resistant to wear, scratches, and moisture. Shaw Carpets also offers eco-friendly options made from recycled materials, demonstrating our commitment to sustainability. Our vinyl flooring comes in various dimensions to suit your needs:
- Luxury Vinyl Planks (LVP) – Plank widths typically range from six to nine inches and can replicate the look of hardwood flooring.
- Vinyl Sheets – Available in standard roll sizes, making them ideal for larger, seamless installations.
- Thickness – Choose from a range of thickness options, typically between 2mm and 8mm, depending on the level of comfort and durability required.
Where Does Vinyl Flooring Work Best?
Vinyl flooring shines in spaces where water resistance, durability, and low maintenance are essential. Wherever moisture, heavy usage, or aesthetic appeal are considerations, this option can be the ideal solution. Popular areas where hardwood or carpet doesn’t make sense but vinyl flooring does include:
- Kitchens and Bathrooms – The superior water-resistant or even waterproof properties of vinyl flooring make it ideal for handling spills, splashes, and humidity.
- Living Rooms – Its stylish designs and soundproofing capabilities make it an excellent choice for family spaces, especially those with pets and young children.
- Commercial Spaces – Durable and easy to clean, vinyl flooring withstands heavy foot traffic in workplaces, retail stores, and hospitality settings.
Installation Methods
One of the advantages of our vinyl flooring options is the easy installation, whether you rely on us for professional fitment or you’re completing a DIY project. The three most common installation methods include:
- Glue-Down – Perfect for creating a long-lasting bond, glue-down vinyl is ideal for high-traffic areas or commercial spaces.
- Click-Fit – Featuring interlocking planks, this method ensures a seamless fix and is popular among DIY enthusiasts for its simplicity.
