Benefits of tile flooring made from PVC:

Maintenance of tile flooring made from PVC:

Regular cleaning: Keep the PVC tile flooring clean by sweeping or vacuuming regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris. This will prevent scratches and maintain the appearance of the flooring.

Mopping: Use a damp mop with a mild soap or a specially formulated cleaner for PVC tile to remove stains and spills. Avoid using excessive amounts of water, as PVC tile is not waterproof and can become damaged if exposed to standing water for long periods.

Stain removal: Promptly clean up any spills or stains to prevent them from setting into the tile. Use a mild detergent or stain remover specifically designed for PVC tile flooring, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Avoid harsh chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents on PVC tile flooring, as they can damage the surface and cause discoloration. Stick to mild cleaning agents recommended for use on PVC tile.

Protect the flooring from scratches: Place felt pads on the legs of furniture to prevent them from scratching the PVC tile when moving or rearranging furniture. Avoid dragging heavy objects across the floor, as this can also cause scratches.

Use mats or rugs: Place mats or rugs by entrances and high-traffic areas to collect dirt and moisture, preventing them from being tracked onto the PVC tile flooring. This will also help protect the flooring from wear and tear.

Repair and replace damaged tiles: If any PVC tiles become cracked, chipped, or otherwise damaged, they should be repaired or replaced promptly to prevent further damage and maintain the overall appearance of the flooring.

Avoid excessive sunlight exposure: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and discoloration of PVC tile flooring. Use curtains, blinds, or window film to protect the flooring from intense sunlight.

Regular maintenance checks: Periodically inspect the PVC tile flooring for any signs of wear, damage, or loose tiles. Address any issues promptly to prevent them from worsening and causing further damage.

Installation process of tile flooring made from PVC:

• Start by ensuring that the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. Remove any existing flooring and adhesive and repair any cracks or uneven areas in the subfloor.
• Measure the room and calculate the amount of PVC tile flooring needed, accounting for any cuts or waste.
• Acclimate the PVC tile flooring by storing it in the room where it will be installed for at least 48 hours, allowing it to adjust to the temperature and humidity of the space.
• Begin installation in the corner of the room farthest from the entrance. Apply adhesive to the subfloor using a recommended adhesive for PVC tile flooring, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Place the first tile in the corner, pressing it firmly into the adhesive. Use spacers to maintain consistent spacing between tiles.
• Continue placing tiles, working your way towards the entrance of the room. Cut tiles as needed to fit around obstacles using a utility knife or a tile cutter.
• Once all the full tiles are laid, allow the adhesive to dry according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes 24 to 48 hours.
• After the adhesive has cured, remove the spacers, and apply grout if desired. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing and applying the grout.
• Allow the grout to dry for the recommended time, then clean the tiles with a damp sponge to remove any grout haze.
• Finally, apply a recommended sealer for PVC tile flooring to protect the tiles and enhance their durability and appearance.

Durability of tile flooring made from PVC:

• PVC tile flooring is known for its exceptional durability. It is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and resist wear and tear over time.
• PVC tiles are highly resistant to scratches, dents, and stains, making them ideal for areas with high traffic, such as hallways, kitchens, and commercial spaces.
• PVC tile flooring is moisture resistant, making it suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas prone to water exposure. It does not absorb water, preventing warping or damage.
• PVC tiles are known for their resistance to chemicals and oils, making them a popular choice for garages, workshops, and industrial settings where spills and exposure to harsh substances may occur.
• These tiles have excellent resistance to fading and UV radiation. They can maintain their colour and appearance even when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.
• PVC tiles are easy to clean and maintain. They do not require specialized cleaning products or extensive maintenance routines, making them a convenient option for busy households or commercial spaces.
• The longevity of PVC tile flooring is further enhanced by its ability to retain its original shape and dimensions over time. They are less prone to expansion or contraction due to temperature variations.
• PVC tiles have good acoustic properties, helping to reduce noise transmission and create a quieter and more peaceful environment.
• The installation of PVC tile flooring is relatively simple and cost-effective. With proper installation and maintenance, these tiles can provide lasting durability for many years.
• Many manufacturers offer warranties for their PVC tile products, which adds to their durability assurance and provides peace of mind to homeowners and business owners.
