A light-coloured vinyl floor works in both private and commercial areas, particularly in rooms with small windows. It can transform previously oppressive spaces. It is also particularly suitable for the kitchen and bathroom, perhaps in slate or other grey tones. A light stone-effect vinyl or perhaps an oak reproduction can work in commercial properties. Due to their high durability, light-coloured vinyl floors can withstand even intensive loads with ease.
Light-coloured vinyl flooring is quickly installed
At planeo, you have the choice between adhesive and click vinyl. Both variants are easy toinstall. It is advisable to lay out impact sound insulation on the subfloor first. The light-coloured adhesive vinyl is then glued to this. The click vinyl is only clicked together and can be easily removed at a later date if necessary. When laying the vinyl, a gap of about five millimetres should always be left at each wall, to prevent warping when the product naturally expands
Uncomplicated cleaning
When it comes to a light-coloured vinyl flooring, some people fear that it will be extremely difficult to clean. But vinyl is not susceptible to dirt. Its surface does not attract dust and liquids cannot penetrate the high-quality material. Therefore, all dirt can beeasily removed.
It is usually sufficient to vacuum the light-coloured vinyl floor with a hoover or clean it with a damp cloth. If the surface becomes slightly discoloured over the years due to heavy use, you can easily refresh it with a special cleaner for vinyl floors. Try it out – we will be happy to advise you!
The 7 most frequently asked questions about Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring is a very robust and particularly easy-to-clean floor covering. The plastic content makes the tiles elastic, waterproof and warm underfoot, making it a pleasant alternative to tiles. With either the clicking or gluing installation techniques, vinyl flooring is great for almost all applications. It’s also one of the most renovation-friendly floor coverings because of its low installation height, starting at 2mm. More information about vinyl flooring.
Design flooring originally described a multi-layer adhesive vinyl flooring. Today the term is used to mean any type of flooring that features a design such as wood, stone or an abstract pattern, and made from any mix of materials and construction methods.
First you need to choose between clicking and gluing. Most people today install vinyl by clicking. The click connection locks each individual plank to the next. Because there is no adhesion to the subfloor, it is also called floating installation. Here you will find everything you need to know about installing vinyl click flooring. Adhesive vinyl flooring is being used more and more in private homes. In this case, vinyl flooring is glued to a levelled subfloor using a special vinyl adhesive. Adhesive vinyl can also be glued dry. Here we explain the 4 different gluing techniques.
These are some super-common mistakes made when installing a vinyl floor
Not following installation instructions
Not checking the subfloor properly
Not acclimatising the material
Using the wrong footfall sound insulation or underlay
Installation errors in the first rows
Forgetting or incorrectly setting expansion joints
To be sure, take a look at the installation instructions for your vinyl floor. Just because an impact sound insulation says "for vinyl flooring" on it, doesn't make it the appropriate underlay for your floor. If you try to reuse your old insulation from laminate, you risk damaging the floor. Read more about the right impact sound insulation for vinyl here.
Yes, as far as the vinyl content of the floor is concerned. This means that a solid vinyl floor for clicking and also gluing is absolutely waterproof. If a material such as a moisture-sensitive HDF core is added, the vinyl floor is no longer waterproof. You should be aware of this when choosing vinyl flooring for damp rooms such as the bathroom. You can find waterproof vinyl flooring here.
One of the main reasons vinyl flooring is so popular is how easy it is to maintain. Vacuuming and damp mopping is usually enough to clean it. Heavier stains can be removed with PU cleaner. Despite the tough outer layer, dust, dirt and small stones can scratch the vinyl in the long run, so we recommend a full care product, to forms a protective film. This makes vinyl care easier and protects your floor from small scratches.
