Yes, and for this reason, vinyl flooring is incredibly popular! Vinyl plank flooring is the perfect flooring solution for busy households, basements, bathrooms, and even kitchens.

In fire safety experiments, vinyl flooring has proven itself to be a particularly good material for preventing the spread of fires and reducing hazards. Not only does it typically resist ignition, but it also quickly stops burning when the initial fire source is removed.

Vinyl flooring can be used in an outdoor, temperature-controlled environment. This means that you can install vinyl flooring in a sunroom, enclosed porch, or any other “outdoor” space where you can control the heat and cold. While vinyl is 100% waterproof, you still have to be careful of the temperature changes.

Vinyl is a standout choice for bathroom flooring. There are several different vinyl products, including luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and vinyl roll (also known as sheet vinyl), and both of these are excellent bathroom flooring choices. They’re durable, moisture-resistant, easy to clean and maintain, and warm underfoot.

PanelCraft Vinyl flooring is highly durable. If installed and maintained correctly, it can last upwards of 25 years. That said, vinyl is a great choice for the rooms in your house that get the most foot traffic. Additionally, most vinyl flooring has a wear layer on its surface that resists scratches and stains.

Door Trimming is required if you don’t have a minimum of 8mm allowance before the laying of Vinyl.

Vinyl flooring is less expensive than hardwood, easier to clean, and more resistant to staining, warping, and discoloration. Because it is a synthetic product, it is available in a wider variety of finishes and styles.

Use a tape measure to determine the room’s length and width. Then multiply the length by the width to get your square footage. For instance, if the room is 12 feet wide and 12 feet long, you will need enough flooring for 144 square feet (12×12=144).

The Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP) scheme is a certification for green building products and materials. It is based on scientific and engineering principles and built upon the collective knowledge and expertise of the building and construction industry. The SGBP certification scheme advances the built environment to one that is greener and more carbon-efficient while facilitating sustainable procurement. The certification ensures that sustainability is integrated throughout the design and manufacturing process of green building products.

Aligned with the World Green Building Council’s vision of green buildings for everyone, everywhere, SGBC aims to make the spaces we live, work and play in healthier, more sustainable, and more resource-efficient. SGBC recognizes the need for green building products, materials, and solutions to support this vision. With the SGBP certification scheme, we’ve set a high benchmark for sustainable building products and materials. This ensures sustainability targets are met while providing transparency and credibility to the products we choose to use when building green into our spaces and places.

When mopping the floor, floor skirting acts as a useful barrier between your wet mop and the wall, preventing unsightly wet patches.

PVC skirting boards are a cost-effective alternative to timber. They are economical yet incredibly durable, making them suitable for high-traffic areas in a home, including rooms used by children. They are resistant to scuffing, and any marks can be easily wiped away.

PVC skirting is installed by gluing it to the walls with a special adhesive made of PVC material. For optimal adhesion, the walls must be dry, smooth, and free of any protrusions. PVC skirting is known for its solidity, durability, ease of maintenance, resistance to rot, static electricity, and noise reduction.
