Luxury Sheet Vinyl

Sheet vinyl flooring is vinyl flooring that comes in large, continuous, flexible sheets. A vinyl sheet floor is completely impermeable to water, unlike vinyl floor tile, which comes in stiff tiles, and vinyl planks, which come in interlocking strips. It is sometimes called linoleum after a visually similar product of different (linseed oil) chemical composition.

Vinyl flooring is extensively used because it is water-impervious, fairly durable, adjustably resilient and insulating, easy to install, available with a variety of appearances, and inexpensive. Custom-print vinyl sheet flooring may cost an order of magnitude more, if ordered commercially,

• Planks or tiles: Luxury vinyl is sold in multi-ply planks or tiles.
• Construction: It is made of six to eight layers of material, including a clear top-coat layer to add shine, a clear wear layer to protect the design, a design layer with the printed image, a foam cushion layer, a fiberglass backing layer, and solid PVC backing layer to add strength and rigidity. Stone-look luxury vinyl sometimes includes ground mineral content in its composition, usually pulverized limestone.
• Thickness: Its wear layers range from 2 to 8 mm (roughly 8/100 to 3/10 of an inch thick), making luxury vinyl planks considerably thicker than standard vinyl.
• How it feels: Because it’s thicker, it has a semi-rigid feel. A cushion layer of foam makes the floor more comfortable to walk on.

Care and Cleaning

Both standard vinyl and luxury vinyl are cleaned using the same methods. Sweeping or vacuuming should be done daily, and spills and stains should be wiped immediately. Once a week or so, damp mop the floor with warm (not hot) water mixed with a mild soap. Unlike old resilient linoleum floors, vinyl floors do not require sealers or waxes; they can dull the shiny wear layer.
