Vinyl is believed to be one of the most resilient, affordable flooring solutions available for commercial use. Depending on the type and quality of material you choose, the cost of vinyl can be about 70% less than other materials. Versatility, easy installation, high durability, low maintenance and no necessity for commercial floor waxing makes vinyl a very popular choice.
Choosing a vinyl floor:
Deciding which pattern or tile you like best might be one of the most challenging decisions you’ll ever have to make when selecting a vinyl floor. There is a large variety available in the market. Before narrowing down to one, you must have a look at the choices available.
Vinyl Patterns – The variety in vinyl comes from the way patterns and colors are added to it. Basically there are two kinds of vinyl: inlaid and printed.
Formats – Vinyl is available in two different formats: tile or sheet. Both are created with the same material; the main difference is in the size, the way they are packaged and prepared, and how they get installed.
Vinyl finishes – The protective layer applied to the surface makes a huge difference in commercial floor maintenance and durability.
Installation:
Vinyl floorings can be installed as tiles or sheets:
-
Sheets are available in 12′ or 6′ widths. They can be bought as prepared rolls or can be cut to specific measurements. The methods and types tend to vary depending on the floor style.
-
Tiles are produced to exact thickness and dimensions to give the floor a uniform, seamless appearance.
Maintenance:
Easy cleanup is one of the main advantages of vinyl surfaces. Apart from this, occasional mopping and regular sweeping is all you need to do to keep the floor looking new and bright. Spills are also not a problem as they can simply be wiped away with a wet cloth.
Vinyl flooring provides rich designs for homes and commercial surfaces as they come in a variety of colors, patterns and styles. Vinyl floors can even imitate other kinds of surfaces, such as ceramic tiles. What’s more, this material delivers exceptional durability and comfort, all at a very affordable price. There is no better way towards commercial floor maintenance than to use such flooring options.
