PVC, Linoleum, Rubber — Get Your Selection Right Before Specifying

When working on engineering projects, floor material selection always brings up the term “resilient flooring”. Many clients, however, struggle to define its scope, suitable applications and specification rules. This guide covers definitions, categories, use cases and key parameters in one place.

Industrial flooring rolls are a type of flooring commonly used in industrial settings due to their durability, ease of installation, and resistance to heavy traffic and harsh chemicals. These rolls are typically made of materials such as rubber, PVC, or vinyl and come in large rolls that are rolled out and installed over the existing subfloor.

ESD anti-static vinyl flooring typically consists of a vinyl composition with conductive properties that allow static charges to flow safely to ground, thereby reducing the risk of damage to electronic components or interference with sensitive equipment.

Homogeneous flooring is made of a single layer of material that is consistent throughout its thickness. This material is typically a combination of vinyl, plasticizers, and pigments.

Homogeneous flooring is known for its durability, resilience, and ease of maintenance, making it a popular choice for commercial spaces such as hospitals, schools, and offices.

Sweep or vacuum the floor daily to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a soft-bristled broom or a vacuum cleaner with a hard floor setting to prevent scratching the surface.

Allow the vinyl flooring rolls to acclimate to the room’s temperature and humidity for at least 24-48 hours before installation. This helps prevent issues such as expansion or contraction after installation.
