PVC floor tiles: pros and cons

The difficult task is choosing flooring. It must have a whole list of qualities:

• reliability,
• wear resistance,
• durability,
• design,
• environmental friendliness,
• availability.

All these listed properties are inherent in polyvinyl chloride tiles.

What are the benefits of PVC floor tiles?

The main positive element in the characteristics of PVC is wear resistance. There are other important advantages over other products.

Here are some of them:

• resistance to moisture and mold;
• elasticity, which allows you to withstand any force load;
• has sound and thermal insulation;
• easy installation due to low weight;
• attractive price and external design;
• durable operation;
• environmental friendliness;
• Comfort during use, surfaces do not slip when wet;
• unpretentious in care;
• The quartz vinyl version is not damaged when heavy objects fall on it.

IMPORTANT! The tile retains its aesthetic qualities for about 10 years. If the surface is damaged, it is enough to replace the damaged fragment, and not the entire cladding.

Negative features of PVC floor tiles

There are few negative qualities. However, it is important to know the negative properties, for example, when exposed to the sun, the design begins to fade.

The cost of the product is too high, but it is worth it. It was also revealed that the coating was not natural. Here are the main disadvantages.

ATTENTION! Before proceeding with installation, you should be conscientious about leveling the base (floor). Avoid the presence of any irregularities in the form of bumps, otherwise the material can easily peel off. Do not allow moisture to penetrate underneath, as this will lead to the formation of fungus, which has a significant and harmful effect on human health.

IMPORTANT! If you follow all installation rules, the material can last for more than one year. To do this, you should also study the selection tips. You should choose according to technical parameters, and not according to external design!
