First of all, you should know that PVC flooring, as the name suggests, is made of PVC material, and this product is produced in wood designs and sometimes in fantasy designs. PVC stands for Poly Vinyl Chloride. PVC flooring is resistant to water, and they are most commonly used in environments that are in contact with water, such as: kitchens, swimming pools, etc.
PVC flooring is produced in the following thicknesses:
2 mil thickness: suitable for residential houses
Thick 2 mil high traffic: suitable for homes and shops
2.5 mil thickness: suitable for residential houses and shops, which are mostly in the form of rolls
3 mil thickness: suitable for houses, shops and arcades
And they are also available in thicknesses of 3.5 mil, 4.5 mil, 5 mil, 5.5 mil, 6 mil, 6.5 mil and 7 mil.
PVC flooring is installed with glue (paste or industrial), which usually requires 10 kilos of glue for every 30 to 40 square meters on ceramic, but the same amount of glue covers 20 to 30 square meters on tiles. And because the industrial glue is in liquid form and has an unpleasant smell, they usually use paste glue, which in addition to not having an unpleasant smell, also fills the seams and empty spaces and has better resistance to water and moisture than industrial glue. One of the most important disadvantages of PVC flooring is their lack of resistance to sunlight and heat, and for this reason, we do not recommend this product for open-air environments that are in the vicinity of sunlight.
