Vinyl Sheet
Vinyl sheet is a multi-layered floor: a protective top layer usually made of urethane, an additional protective clear layer, a printed design layer and then the backing. The top layer protects against scratches and scuff marks while the clear vinyl layer helps to protect against gouges, rips and tears. The thickness and quality of this layer will determine the floor's durability and appearance retention.
Vinyl sheet is constructed with either a felt or fiberglass backing. New and improved fiberglass technology results in a more cushioning floor with more installation options.
Vinyl sheet goods popularity stems largely from its broad adaptability for use in any part of the home: high traffic areas such as hallways, family rooms and basements to wet areas including kitchens and bathrooms. Vinyl is extremely water resistant and therefore an ideal choice for rooms with a high moisture content. Vinyl application must be on flat, level surfaces. When selecting vinyl sheet for high traffic areas opt for thicker versions which will withstand constant wear and tear.
