The Benefits of a PVC Floor
Advantages abound. Are you moving, renovating or just want a new floor?. This article will help you make an informed decision when choosing a new floor:
1. Prevents noise pollution
Polyvinyl chloride, short for PVC, is the chemical formula that makes up a PVC floor board. This probably doesn’t say much. What is important to know is that a PVC floor belongs to the elastic floor coverings due to this formula.
In other words: PVC flooring has a sound dampening effect thanks to the material structure. This comes in handy in busy households, but also in apartments, to avoid noise pollution for your downstairs neighbors.

Choosing a floor is very personal. If you like a gray PVC floor, someone else may think very differently. And that’s fine, of course, because tastes differ. What is nice is that PVC flooring is available in different colors and beautiful designs. In short, there is something for everyone!
The question, however, is whether you choose click PVC or dryback PVC. Click PVC can be laid directly over an existing floor. This is in contrast to a dryback PVC floor where the surface has to be leveled first. The floor is then glued to the floor below.
So keep this in mind when buying this type of floor and, if necessary, ask for flooring advice from an interior designer.
