Vinyl Sheet Flooring
A roll-form vinyl floor surface with fewer seams than tile. It looks continuous and practical, with welded joints, coved edges, printed texture, and a slightly resilient feel.

Choosing points
- Best for hospitals, schools, shops, and back-of-house areas where few seams and easy cleaning matter.
- Heat-welded seams are common in hygienic areas.
- Coved skirting curves the sheet up the wall.
- Traffic paths become dull and darker with maintenance wax.
How it ages
- Heavy carts, water intrusion, chemical cleaning, and poor welding can cause gouges, lifted seams, stains, or bubbles.
What to avoid
- Do not treat vinyl sheet flooring as waterproof just because it is sheet material. Seams, wall coves, drains, and substrate moisture still need to be handled.
