The advantages of luxury vinyl/PVC flooring
“Design flooring” made of vinyl or PVC was already popular in the 1970s. What made the flooring so attractive was its hard-wearing and easy-to-clean surface. In the meantime, luxury vinyl tiles (LVTs) have become a real eye-catcher and are available in many stylish designs. Thanks to a large choice of colors and surface structures, they offer a wide range of design options. The advantages speak for themselves.
Tip 1: One material – many different styles
Walking over natural stone or tiles and still feel the comfort of a soft floor underfoot? This is now possible with luxury vinyl flooring: it faithfully reproduces the look of stone, tiles or real wood. The result is deceptively real imitations that are often almost indistinguishable from the original. Due to the favorable properties of vinyl and PVC, the flooring is easy to clean and at the same time extremely hard-wearing thanks to low wear and tear.
Tip 2: Easy-care surface – high walk-on comfort
“Design flooring” made of vinyl or PVC is insensitive to moisture and can therefore be wet-wiped without any problems. Moreover, it offers pleasant warmth underfoot even if no underfloor heating was installed. The flooring is resilient and therefore gentle on the joints. And if it is bonded over the entire surface area, it provides more impact sound insulation than hard flooring. Since vinyl flooring is available as tiles, planks or sheets, different patterns can be created according to your wishes.
Tip 3: Healthy living thanks to low-emission products
To protect the health of the residents, low-emission adhesives should be used for bonding PVC or vinyl flooring. The EMICODE® seal on the packaging provides useful guidance. The renowned seal is only awarded to installation products that have been tested and certified to be very low in emissions. In addition, EMICODE®-labelled products are regularly spot-checked by independent institutes to verify their compliance with the limit values. This ensures the highest possible protection against indoor air pollution as well as a high level of environmental compatibility.
