Benefits of soft PVC flooring
Design
Manufacturers can build up complex patterns and three-dimensional effects through these layers and offer more choice of styles and effects than would otherwise be possible. The end results are colourful, smooth and shiny surfaces that are modern and eye-catching.
Protection and hygiene
Aesthetic value is not the only advantage of soft PVC floors. The smooth, tough surface of the upper wear layer prevents dust and dirt from building up and microbes breeding. In sensitive areas such as hospitals and clinics the hygienic quality of soft PVC reduces disease and infections. In the home, too, PVC floors in kitchens and bathrooms help to protect our health every day.
Low maintenance
The robust surfaces of soft PVC cut down the need for cleaning and the use of polish. They are a natural choice in schools, offices and public buildings with large floor areas, where robustness and low maintenance are vital.
Durability
PVC floors are outstandingly durable and typically last for up to 20 years of intensive use. Over all this time, despite large daily temperature changes, phthalates guarantee the flexibility of the application. They also resist degradation and discolouring from exposure to ultra violet (UV) light.
