Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl Sheets
Vinyl flooring has become a popular choice for homeowners and businesses alike due to its versatility, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Often mistaken for Laminate or Luxury Vinyl Planking, although made from similar materials, the construction of vinyl sheeting is different from those other two flooring categories.
Vinyl flooring is a popular choice for homeowners and businesses due to its versatility, durability, and aesthetic appeal. It effectively mimics natural materials like hardwood and stone, offering beautiful design options at a fraction of the cost. With a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures available, vinyl flooring easily complements any interior style.
Other significant benefits are:
- Vinyl flooring resilience. High-quality vinyl sheets can withstand heavy foot traffic, making them ideal for residential and commercial spaces.
- They resist scratches, stains, and dents, making them perfect for homes with children and pets.
- The protective wear layer enhances durability and simplifies cleaning, ensuring a long-lasting appearance.
Vinyl sheeting also offers convenient installation options. Many products feature a peel-and-stick backing for easier installation, while others are designed for loose lay, allowing placement over existing floors without adhesives. This ease of installation can save both time and money during renovations. Ask our designers what options are available for your project!
In terms of comfort, vinyl flooring is softer and warmer underfoot than traditional hard surfaces like tile or hardwood. This enhances comfort in areas like kitchens and bathrooms, and its sound-absorbing properties help reduce noise levels in busy environments.
With its combination of style, comfort, and practicality, vinyl sheeting is an excellent flooring choice for anyone looking to enhance their space while balancing style, comfort, and budget.

The key difference between vinyl sheet and vinyl tile is in the production process Vinyl sheet is made by printing on up to 15-foot wide sheet. Vinyl tiles are made in individual pieces to produce various patterns and designs while the vinyl sheet is installed as a solid piece. Between the two tiles or planks offer a more realistic look. Vinyl tiles are also easier to repair or remove. We carry Vinyl Sheet Flooring with various features such as scratch-resistant, Antimicrobial, mark-resistant, and stain-resistant.
Laminate flooring, made of high-density fiberboard with a photographic layer, is durable and scratch-resistant but less water-resistant than vinyl. Vinyl, made of PVC, offers a wider range of styles and better moisture resistance, suitable for high-traffic and spill-prone areas. The choice depends on specific needs and preferences.
The lifespan of vinyl flooring ranges from 10 to 20 years, influenced by quality, thickness, and maintenance. Choosing high-quality vinyl and following proper care extends its longevity.
Vinyl and linoleum flooring are very different! At one time the only vinyl anybody knew about was sheet vinyl, which has an appearance fairly similar to linoleum. Because of this, a lot of people confuse the two. Here are the main differences between linoleum and sheet vinyl.
Linoleum:
- Made of natural materials
- Anti-microbial
- Anti-static properties
- Needs to be sealed every year
- Requires a professional installation
Vinyl Flooring:
- Made of durable PVC
- Protective wear layer
- Backing options for fiberglass, foam, or felt
- DIY-friendly installation
- Virtually no maintenance
Sheet vinyl is a multi-layer, durable flooring that’s easy to install and easy to clean. A vinyl sheet features a wear layer and a wear layer to protect it from scuffs and scratches, much like vinyl planks and tiles.
Vinyl sheets used to have a reputation for being “low-quality,” but those days are long gone. Popular sheet vinyl is made of quality materials and contains a fiberglass layer that lays the sheet flat and keeps it from curling. This fiberglass layer also allows sheet vinyl to be loose laid or installed using double-sided adhesive tape, instead of a more labor-intensive glue down installation.
Luxury vinyl sheets come with a huge range of stylish looks, including realist wood and looks, and more contemporary decorative surfaces. The best part? You get all of these benefits at an affordable price.
There are so many kinds of vinyl flooring: waterproof, peel and stick, sheet vinyl, and then all those acronyms. LVF, SPC, WPC. It can start to look like a jumble of alphabet soup. Let’s start with the basics so you know more about your options.
WPC vinyl
This technically translates to wood-plastic composite vinyl flooring. However, many people also use the acronym to stand for waterproof core vinyl flooring. Both meanings are correct. WPC vinyl flooring is 100% waterproof, and its core is made from a composite of plastic and wood. In the flooring industry, it’s referred to as engineered vinyl flooring. WPC is recommended for residential use since it is softer underfoot.
SPC vinyl
SPC stands for stone-plastic composite or stone-polymer composite. Both of these terms are used interchangeably. SPC is also sometimes referred to as Rigid Core luxury vinyl flooring. That’s because the stone-plastic composite core in this luxury vinyl is ultra-dense. Like WPC, SPC is 100% waterproof and is also called engineered vinyl flooring within the industry. SPC is great for both residential and commercial use.
LVF(LVP or LVT) vinyl
This is the acronym for luxury vinyl flooring. Luxury vinyl flooring is sort of the umbrella term that is often used interchangeably with WPC and SPC. LVF can also refer to vinyl that is not waterproof or rigid core, but that has a higher-quality visual, and usually a basic glue down or a lock installation mechanism.
