Fatrand Novoflor Extra GRIT PVC rolls

Yes. The vinyl flooring we offer meets strict health and safety standards and is safe for standard use.  

Initial concerns about vinyl flooring near French windows stemmed from the fact that all-vinyl flooring performed less well in terms of dimensional stability when exposed to heat. Flooring comprising a vinyl layer on an HDF or SPC core board is more stable, so it can also be laid next to French windows.

Vinyl flooring in click-lock planks can be installed as a floating floor, so there’s no need to glue them down. You’ll save both time and money.

Vinyl flooring is classified as moderately durable; if you’re looking for maximum durability, even at the cost of reduced comfort underfoot, opt for laminate flooring.

Yes, an underlay will help protect the floor and extend its lifespan. If the subfloor is mineral-based, such as a cement screed or gypsum levelling compound, from which additional moisture may evaporate, you will also need a vapour barrier.

No. Vinyl flooring must not be installed over carpets or other soft subfloors. When using a suitable underlay, vinyl flooring can be laid as a floating floor on a levelled subfloor, OSB boards or existing level tiled flooring (do not forget to grout the joints to ensure the tiles are level).

A composite floor may or may not contain a vinyl wear layer. Such a composite floor with vinyl on top is also essentially a composite. Thanks to the SPC or HDF core board, it takes on the desirable properties of these materials – greater dimensional stability and reduced susceptibility to showing unevenness in the subfloor.

Vinyl flooring may consist of a single layer of vinyl or be made up of several layers, one of which is vinyl. In this case, only the wear layer is made of vinyl, making the flooring softer and more comfortable to walk on, whilst still having a solid core thanks to a backing board made of HDF or SPC material.

There are many different types of vinyl flooring on the market – vinyl in rolls, adhesive vinyl tiles and click-lock flooring with a vinyl layer. The latter represents an innovative product thanks to the option of floating installation.

Flooring with a vinyl layer on an HDF or SPC core combines the advantages of vinyl – such as comfort underfoot – with the properties of these core materials: greater dimensional stability and reduced susceptibility to showing unevenness in the subfloor. Our range also includes click-lock vinyl flooring, which does not require gluing, as well as vinyl planks designed for gluing.
