Vinyl
or PVC floorings are used across the world. Their application ranges from home
use to industrial. Vinyl floorings are primarily classified into two types –
homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous PVC flooring covering is made up of one
single layer while heterogeneous flooring has multiple layers. This is the
material or structural difference between these two types of flooring.
Homogeneous Vinyl Flooring is not layered and does not have any
backing material. Its thickness is
usually 80 mils. The single layer structure offers great depth in color and
vibrancy. It also gives the flooring a long life and makes it durable for
years. It is very effective in high traffic areas. These types of flooring's
have a certain amount of flexibility to it. This is a very important factor
while selecting flooring's, especially for sports arena surfaces.
Other
than the above mentioned benefits of vibrancy in color, durability and
flexibility; Homogeneous Flooring is very cost effective, especially
when compared with other types of flooring's such as wood and marble. This type
of flooring is easy to install. You can also try out a combination of various colors
to add to the vibrancy or bring life to a space.
Maintenance
of this flooring is simple, which is a big relief for most users. Even if a
sheet is damaged you can easily replace it without affecting the whole floor.
Cleaning is simple and cost effective. All you need is mild floor cleaner mixed
in water and a mop. Just remember to dry off any water left over on the floor.
The application of this type of PVC flooring is mostly used in schools and
offices and other spaces that need to be lively. For all the above reasons homogeneous
type of vinyl flooring is a great long term investment.
