Vinyl floors are composed of polyvinyl chloride or PVC and may have homogeneous or heterogeneous construction.
Heterogeneous vinyl flooring is made from multiple layers of PVC. The top layers are made up of PUR reinforcement which is easy to maintain, and the second layer is made up of pure PVC, which gives a very high resistance to abrasion. The third layer is constructed from glass fibre non-woven for good dimensional stability. The last layer is made from a solid homogenous calenderer sheet that can offer resistance to tear. On the other hand, homogenous vinyl flooring is a single piece of PVC.
