Vinyl has blossomed over the years transforming into a popular, modern choice of flooring offering countless designs like wood, ceramic tiles, natural stones, slate, linoleum, and even playful patterns, delicate designs and imaginative artwork.
Vinyl flooring has many advantages over other flooring products such as; it is low maintenance and easy to clean, very affordable, quiet and soft underfoot and it has fewer seams meaning that it is easy to install and looks flawless when installed throughout open-plan spaces. Not only that, but vinyl is being raved about both domestically and commercially for its versatility, durability, and simplicity. Non-slip safety vinyl is now extremely favourable in rest homes, hospitals, commercial kitchens, schools, swimming centres, vet clinics, animal shelters, and more!
Fall in love with our wide range of vinyl sheet flooring!
What began as a material used in industrial and household items has now become the floor covering which rules the market. Vinyl can mimic wood, stone, tile - you name it! Yet it’s more dependable than most of the materials available. Vinyl is dent, scratch, and tear-resistant, which is great for families with children, pet owners and even commercial buildings with heavy foot traffic.
Vinyl is also easier to maintain than most other flooring options. Simply sweep the floor of any unwanted dirt and give it a quick mop - no need for rigorous cleaning routines with vinyl! Furthermore, this hardy material is moisture-proof, making it an ideal choice for wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, and basements.
The Different Types of Vinyl Flooring
There are various types of vinyl floors available to you on the market that each have different pros and cons. Researching the range of vinyl flooring will help you decide which kind is best suited for your project.
Sheet vinyl comes in an array of weird, wonderful, and welcoming designs.
Sheet Vinyl
Sheet vinyl comes in large, wide rolls which are quick and easy to install in rooms. You can choose from wood, stone, tile, concrete, mosaic, modern artsy designs and more! Whatever your heart wishes, they’ll be a sheet vinyl out there to grant you your desire. Loved for its hardiness, low maintenance and affordability sheet vinyl is ideal for any room in any space.
A couple of things to look out for with sheet vinyl are sun exposure and tearing. Our New Zealand sun is harsh and may cause fading in your new vinyl after some time (some products do offer warranty against this so please check with a flooring specialist before purchase). It is also important to lift items or furniture instead of dragging across the floor as this is likely to cause damage.

Vinyl tiles
These are available in squares which are imprinted with a range of designs. These are simple to lay in unique patterns and are water-resistant, making them a frequent choice in bathrooms, kitchens and commercial settings. Perfect for high traffic areas, vinyl tiles are versatile and very cost-effective. Lay them diagonally for an individual look in your kitchen, lay them in a checkered pattern to add depth and design to your bathroom floor or create a bold concept in your business space to wow customers.
Vinyl tiles are great for people with kids or animals as the tile tends to be hardy, however, be wary of sharp objects in contact with this floor. Also, like vinyl sheets, be aware of direct sunlight and the high probability of fading.
Luxury vinyl planking accurately represents genuine colours, patterns and textures.
Vinyl planks
Vinyl planks are the original floating floor covering. Being 100% moisture resistant means that this type of floor is popular for use in kitchens, bathrooms, dining areas and restaurants. It’s also a favourite for pet owners and parents too as cleaning up spills and accidents is easy! Vinyl planks are highly durable with commercial grade wear layers which means that they can withstand heavy amounts of traffic whilst not needing too much maintenance.
Akin to the other vinyl options, planks are also prone to fading under excessive UV light and will be punctured if struck with sharp objects. Furthermore, vinyl planks can be difficult to remove once installed and are non-biodegradable.
