Healthy and functional flooring

Vinyl floors had a bad reputation for a long time. The reason was the PVC used, which contained plasticisers and could have negative effects on health. Modern designer floors do not use PVC at all and are in no way inferior to real wood floors in terms of appearance, functionality and health properties. You can use them to furnish both commercial and private spaces in a variety of ways.

PVC-free design floors are great:

  • no harmful plasticisers
  • healthy and particularly suitable for allergy sufferers
  • wide variety of designs
  • almost indistinguishable from real wood
  • sound-absorbing and warm underfoot
  • durable and easy to clean

Flooring without PVC – a healthy alternative

Those who cannot or do not want to install real wood flooring in their rooms are pleasantly surprised when they turn to this "artificial" alternative. Designer floors are in no way inferior in appearance to real parquet; however, many people still have concerns about the PVC that used to be used in making vinyl. This substance has been proven to have negative consequences for health. The modern designer floors in the planeo range do not use PVC at all. The materials used, such as PET or PP, are also used in the production of plastic bottles and are completely harmless.

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.
