Everything you need to know about Vinyl flooring

The advantage and disadvantages of vinyl flooring vary significantly depending on the type and quality of the product you choose.
The well-known advantages of vinyl flooring are many. It's comfortable and quiet underfoot, resistant to damage and moisture, easy to install and maintain, affordable, and available in a large number of colours and designs. This makes vinyl flooring a popular choice with a range of consumers, particularly the design and budget-conscious DIY consumer. Also, vinyl floors are a sustainable flooring solution as Tarkett is strongly committed to the responsible use of PVC. We apply Cradle to Cradle® principles, choosing EPEA (Environmental Protection Encouragement Agency) assessed materials for all our vinyl flooring products to ensure complete transparency throughout the production chain. Vinyl rolls are ReStart® Ready* meaning they can be part of Tarkett recycling program, depending on certain countries. Where possible, we also use materials that are both recycled, recyclable, with as low an environmental impact as possible to produce our vinyl rolls. On top, all our plants use 100% green energy.
(*Terms of registration may vary per country. Contact your local Tarkett sales offices to find out how to register for ReStart® in your country.)

On the downside, vinyl flooring can be difficult to remove if it's glued down, it can dent with heavy objects on top of it, and it can be punctured with very sharp objects. Another disadvantage of vinyl flooring is its inability to support very high temperatures and a tendency to show fading and discolouration with excessive UV exposure. For these reasons, vinyl is generally not recommended in rooms with exposure to too much direct sunlight, such as verandas.

However, new technologies mean that vinyl flooring continues to evolve in both its design and construction, with some products now able to counter the disadvantages mentioned above. Tarkett's Rigid LVT ' Starfloor Click Ultimate, for instance, is made with an extra dense, rigid composite core that can shrug off spills in the kitchen and bathroom, temperature variations in the veranda, and the continuous battering of busy family life. And our vinyl rolls have exceptional lightfastness values making them highly resistant to fading when exposed to light.

What do raincoats, garden hoses, shower curtains, window frames, electrical wiring, flooring, roofing, food cling wrap, children's toys, cars and medical supplies all have in common? They're made from PVC and plasticizers.

What Is PVC?

PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, also called vinyl. It's made with carbon atoms derived from ethylene'which is created from natural gas or oil'and chlorine derived from salt.

PVC products last a long time. Flooring and roofing made from PVC can last for more than 20 years, and PVC water pipes used in infrastructure projects can last for more than 50. PVC products can also be recycled and reused. PVC is recycled by being ground into small pieces that are then processed into compounds to be melted and formed into new products.

PVC Saves Lives

PVC is widely used in medical applications today because it's impermeable to germs, is easily cleaned and provides single-use applications that reduce infections in healthcare.

PVC has been used in the medical realm for more than 50 years. It was first developed to make flexible tubing and containers to replace the rubber and glass that had previously been used for applications in healthcare.

Some examples of PVC used in hospitals include:

PVC in Building and Construction

PVC is a durable material that's resistant to weathering, which is why it's so often used in building and construction. It's also resistant to chemicals and doesn't conduct electricity, making it crucial for use in high-tech applications, such as wire and cable.

If you were to design a material that was ideal for building and construction, you'd be hard-pressed to create something as well suited for the task as PVC. Both rigid and flexible forms of PVC are replacing traditional building materials, such as wood, concrete and metal, in several applications, for one good reason: PVC just does it better.

PVC is commonly used in the production of:

• Caulks
• Decking
• Fences
• Flooring
• Pipes
• Roofing
• Sealants

• Siding
• Soffits (the underside of architectural features including arches, balconies, etc.)
• Wall covering
• Windows
• Wire and cable jacketing

What Are Plasticizers?

Since, by itself, PVC is brittle, it needs a plasticizer made from an acid and alcohol to make it more functional.

Plasticizers are made worldwide in facilities that are held to high standards of environmental safety, ensuring production is clean and waste is minimal. In fact, the only by-product that comes from the production of plasticizers is water, which is filtered, treated and recycled afterward.

Manufacturers are working every day to create new plasticizers that are biobased, all without sacrificing performance, cost or availability for these products.
