Today, pvc floor covering materials are widely used in different areas due to their low initial investment cost and operating costs, long service life, wide color and variety ranges. These coatings, which are made of Polyvinyl Chloride, can also be known by different names in the commercial world, such as vinyl, linoleum, flexible floor coverings. PVC flooring materials can be easily applied to many floors.
PVC is not a natural substance, but a synthetic synthetic type of plastic. It is made from ethylene (from crude oil) and chlorine (found in regular salt). When processed, these materials are combined to form Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), often referred to as vinyl. It has low thermal conductivity, water absorption, low oil absorption, and high electrical and sound insulation. Due to the presence of asbestos in its composition, it is resistant to abrasion and, to some extent, combustion.
The most outstanding feature of PVC flooring is its durability. For this reason, it is a highly demanded floor covering model.
