Picture an industrial or factory area- You will think of heavy machinery, high storage spaces with materials stacked over, a work floor mostly aged with the heavy beating it has taken over the years due to the weight over it and spills of various chemicals or oils.
The reason for making you picture all of this is to bring to your notice the flooring of the industrial area. There are various functional demands from an industrial floor. These demands require the flooring to be tough, anti-static, anti-slip, easy to maintain and most importantly durability.
One type of flooring that provides all of this is polyvinyl chloride flooring. It is commonly known as either PVC or simply vinyl flooring. These days Vinyl Flooring are available in various colors, patterns and textures. Vinyl flooring mainly comes in two forms – planks or tiles. The tiles or planks are held together by an adhesive. Application of vinyl flooring is very easy and quick.
Vinyl flooring is resistant to static and is a poor conductor for electricity. So, it does not affect machine readings and most importantly provides a safe environment for working. Vinyl flooring does not absorb any type of liquid and can resist a lot of chemicals. Also, these flooring’s form a seamless layer and do not let any liquid or particles reach the surface below. The shop floor of any industry is expected to have Anti Slip Flooring and vinyl provides exactly that. These are the main reasons why vinyl flooring’s are perfectly suited as industrial flooring.
There are other factors too that make vinyl flooring suited for industries. They are low maintenance and easy to replace. If a particular vinyl tile or plank is damaged you can easily change it. Vinyl flooring is the easiest to clean even if there are chemical or oil spills. Most important benefit of vinyl is that it is a very durable material.
