With the wide range that’s available in the vinyl flooring market, it’s no surprise that you may feel overwhelmed and have various questions about vinyl flooring. Most people are familiar with vinyl flooring being practical while still delivering a modern, natural look. But understandably, you may want to know more about vinyl flooring, especially if you’re wanting to install it in a commercial space. In this blog post, we’ve made sure we answer some of the most common questions about vinyl flooring. 

 

How Do You Clean Vinyl Flooring?

Every commercial space needs to be clean for both employees and customers, so knowing how to clean your vinyl flooring is key. Vinyl flooring is very low maintenance in the first place, so if you don’t have a lot of time for cleaning, it’d definitely be a great option for your commercial area! When the time comes for cleaning though, it simply only takes a quick sweep, vacuum or mop to remove dirt, debris and marks. If you’re wanting to undergo a deep clean, it’s advised to use a specifically designed cleaner for vinyl flooring, as strong DIY chemicals can cause permanent damage to the flooring. For scratches, most luxury vinyl tiles have a tough, scratch resistant external layer, making it less likely to have to deal with scratches in the first place. 

 

Is Vinyl Flooring Long Lasting?

As with any type of flooring, the quality of the material will highly affect its lifespan. But, generally, if installed and maintained correctly, vinyl flooring can last up to 10-20 years. This is due to its many layers of PVC materials, which creates a strong and durable flooring perfect for commercial spaces that require a heavy-duty flooring. Additionally, most vinyl flooring is waterproof and slip resistant making it suitable for bathrooms and communal kitchens, as there is less chance of water damage. As mentioned before, most vinyl flooring will feature a top layer that resists stains and scratches, making it a long lasting flooring choice. 

 

What Styles Are Available?

Due to the rise in popularity of vinyl flooring, there are many styles and designs available. There are three main types of vinyl flooring: Luxury Vinyl Tiles, Vinyl Composition Tile and Sheet Vinyl.
