Vinyl Flooring
Choose vinyl flooring, in addition to aesthetics, many other criteria will also guide your choice such as the thickness of the wear layer, ease of maintenance, wear resistance, the folder, the surface finish.
The quality of a vinyl floor depends mainly on the number of layers that compose it: the file (1), the stabilization layer of fiberglass (2), relief (3), drawing (4) and the layers wear and finishing (5 and 6).
In general, the higher the vinyl floor is thick over the sound and heat insulation is good. The total thickness of the product is important in this regard.
The wear layer is the layer on which we walk. It provides information on the strength of the vinyl. Plus it is thick, vinyl is more resistant to wear. Density (or weight per m²) of the product also improves the resistance: the higher the vinyl floor is hard and compact, the more wear resistance and indentation are strong.
Surface treatments provide other advantages: ease of maintenance treatment, increasing the resistance, to prevent the traces, stains, scratches, yellowing, anti-slip. According to the piece and use the soil you have vinyl, so you can choose the most appropriate treatment.
Increasingly often, the surface of the vinyl is “embossed” or “grainy”. This technique allows a return appearance and a very natural terrain: the texture of the veining in the case of a decorated floor, dips and bumps in the case of a decorated terracotta. The effect thus obtained is surprising authenticity.

In terms of fire resistance test sought particularly in the context of a commercial or office, the indication is the M3 anti-fire.
Other concepts exist such as the compatibility of the vinyl with a system of floor heating, use in wet areas, the anti-static .In terms of widths: 2, 3, 4 and even 5 meters wide
