PVC flooring is ideal for living and working. In this article, we list the 7 biggest advantages of PVC flooring for you.
1. The look of wood, concrete, or metal, without the drawbacks
At TREU interior specials, PVC flooring is available in sleek and realistically designed wood-look planks/herringbone patterns as well as concrete and metal-look tiles. While parquet and laminate floors are sensitive to moisture and scratches, and real concrete and metal literally and figuratively have a cold, hard appearance, PVC offers the best of both worlds. Namely: looks that are indistinguishable from the real thing without the practical drawbacks of the aforementioned floors. Ideal for a warm, atmospheric home or a sleekly furnished office space or hospitality environment.
2. Water-resistant and suitable for all rooms
Where wooden floors and untreated concrete floors are not suitable for damp rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms, PVC truly excels. Thanks to the water-resistant properties of PVC, these floors are ideal for spaces where spills and moisture are a factor. This makes them perfect for both households and commercial applications, such as hospitality and retail.
3. Durable and wear-resistant
A common concern with wooden or concrete floors is wear and tear from intensive use. However, PVC floors are designed to last and withstand heavy foot traffic. They are wear-resistant, making them suitable for high-traffic areas such as offices and shops. This makes them a durable investment with a long lifespan.
4. Low-maintenance
Unlike wooden floors, which require regular sanding and oiling, and concrete floors, which are prone to staining, a PVC floor requires little maintenance. Vacuuming and mopping are enough to keep the floor in top condition. Ideal for family settings, offices, and hospitality venues where hygiene and convenience are paramount.
We do recommend using a walk-off mat to keep sand and other dirt out. If superficial scratches do occur on the PVC floor, they can usually be easily repaired. (Read more about repairing scratches on a PVC floor here.)
5. Comfortable and sound-absorbing
Where hard materials can sometimes be cold and noisy, PVC offers a comfortable walking surface with a slight (sound) dampening effect. This is particularly pleasant in apartments, offices, and other spaces where noise reduction is desired. Furthermore, a PVC floor feels warmer than stone or wood, which increases living and/or working comfort.
6. Perfect for combining with other floors
A major advantage of PVC flooring is that it can be excellently combined with other types of flooring, such as resin floors. This allows you to create different atmospheres in one room without compromising on appearance or functionality. At TREU, we are happy to advise on the best combinations for your interior.
7. Suitable for underfloor heating
PVC floors conduct heat excellently, making them a perfect match for underfloor heating. This makes it an energy-efficient choice for both homes and offices. Read more about the benefits of PVC flooring in combination with underfloor heating here.
