Polyvinyl chloride commonly known by its abbreviation PVC is a synthetic plastic polymer. It is available two basic forms- rigid and flexible. Polyvinyl chloride is used in many industries especially in construction. Its application in this industry ranges from pipes to doors, windows and flooring. In flooring they come in the form of tiles.

Benefits of PVC Tiles

PVC tiles are commonly used floor finishes. The tiles are made of a composite of PVC and fiber. This produces a very thin and reasonably hard tile. Flexible PVC Flooring is used in homes, offices, schools and hospitals. Here are top five benefits of polyvinyl chloride flooring:

Low cost: The biggest benefit of PVC tiles is that they are inexpensive. They are the most pocket-friendly type of flooring material when compared to other forms such as wood, marble, ceramic, etc. Even luxury polyvinyl flooring is affordable when compared to other materials. When it comes to style and durability, you wouldn’t regret choosing PVC tiles. It is not only an affordable option but the installation cost of PVC tiles is also low. This type of flooring can be put together without incurring professional installation costs.

Easy installation: As mentioned earlier, this type of flooring installation does not require professional help. Firstly, the tiles are very light in weight as compared to the other forms of flooring and can be easily moved around. There are various installation options depending on the vinyl floor you have chosen. DIY experts can install these tiles easily by following the right instructions. However, it is recommended to seek professional help when installing PVC or any other type of flooring. Easy to install PVC tiles let you create beautiful patterns on you floor. Make use of the variety of textures, patterns and designs that come printed on these tiles to enhance the look of your home or office space.

Small size: PVC tiles come in small sizes (150mm, 225mm and 305mm). The benefit of having small sized tiles is that individual tiles can be easily replaced. This means the replacement cost of these tiles is also low.


Ease of maintenance: PVC floors are the easiest to clean. No other type of flooring comes close to PVC when it comes to ease of cleaning. All you need is a damp cloth or mop to clean these tiles. Mostly, these tiles come with various coatings which provide the required protection from stains, moisture and fading. Polyvinyl floors are naturally resistant to scratches and dents unlike hardwood flooring. To keep these floors clean and sparkling just sweep or vacuum regularly.


Anti-static: as we all know, the human body attracts static energy. There are variants of Polyvinyl chloride flooring that are anti-static. anti static flooring made from polyvinyl chloride can keep you and your family safe from static energy. This means that you can easily pass cables below the tiles without worrying about the safety of your family from static current passing from the floor.

No Competition Between Luxury Vinyl Flooring and Ceramic
As the technology behind luxury vinyl flooring develops, it becomes less and less distinguishable from the real product (in this case, ceramic tile). LVT’s ability to mimic the appearance of the real thing has boosted the popularity of vinyl flooring that looks like ceramic tile. More often than not, luxury vinyl tile performs better than ceramic tile.

To best illustrate the comparable characteristics of luxury vinyl tile vs. ceramic tile, let’s look into five quantifiable qualities: Look & Style, Durability & Stability, Environmental Impact, Applications, and Cost.

Look & Style
Ceramic floors last forever. While that may sound like a selling point, as a style-conscious designer, you may see the flaw. Trends change quickly. However, if you have ceramic floors, changing with the trends just isn’t an option. Ceramic flooring is expensive, messy and time-consuming to install and remove. Conversely, luxury vinyl flooring is easy to install and replace tile-by-tile. And with a vast selection of looks and styles, vinyl flooring that looks like ceramic is the best solution.

Cutting ceramic tiles requires expensive tools and skills resulting in costly hours for professionals. Luxury vinyl flooring, on the other hand, can be cut easily with a straight edge and utility knife, and is not nearly as time-consuming to install. Any number of designs, including those that look like ceramic are possible with luxury vinyl.

Vinyl Tile vs. Ceramic Tile: Cutting Edge Beauty is Not Set in Stone

CERAMIC TILE

Ceramic floors last forever, but fashion and design trends change quickly; ceramic flooring is expensive, messy and time-consuming to install and remove.
LUXURY VINYL TILE

Vast selection of designs and styles, LVT is limitlessly customizable
Luxury vinyl flooring is extremely easy to install and reinstall with changing trends.

Durability & Stability
Before discussing the durability and stability of luxury vinyl tile vs. ceramic tile, we should define the terms, as they seem similar.

Durability: Hardness of the flooring—especially its topmost wear layer. The more durable a flooring solution is, the more use it can take.

Stability: Governed by the thickness of the whole and/or makeup of layers and quality of materials. Stable flooring material holds its shape and size against moisture and/or climatic changes.

Yes, ceramic, if taken care of, will essentially last forever. However, in the all too common event that it is damaged—ceramic is quite a hassle to repair. Although ceramic is a hard, durable material, many circumstances can cause significant damage. If tiles are not installed correctly (i.e. improperly set mortar or incorrect grouting) the grouting will fail and the tiles will separate, come loose and crack.

Ceramic’s strongest characteristic in this section is in its stability. Moisture and environmental changes will not affect the flooring. It will not expand or contract. However, the stability of ceramic is also its downfall. Because there is no flex or give in ceramic flooring, it is far more prone to cracks and other damages than luxury vinyl flooring. While LVT is extremely hard and durable—well suited for heavy commercial use—it has a degree of flex. This flex allows it to absorb and dissipate the force from some dropped heavy objects. Why take the risk of broken tiles when you can install vinyl flooring that looks like ceramic?

Environmental Impact
The impact of luxury vinyl tile vs. ceramic tile comes down to their lifecycles. The argument is simple. Because of the method used to remove ceramic tiles (smashing into pieces) this type of flooring is not recyclable. To reuse the ceramic, every speck of mortar would need to be removed—a process not worth anyone’s time. And even then, you are left with broken bits good only for fill. So ceramic is usually just thrown into a landfill. In addition, the removal of ceramic tile directly impacts the environment of the area in which it was laid. Thick clouds of toxic dust are harmful to breathe in and nearly impossible to prevent.

Luxury vinyl tiles are typically recyclable and can be made from recycled material. In addition, luxury vinyl made by Parterre uses one of the most abundant materials on earth as the main ingredient: salt. In using salt, Parterre reduces ecological impact.

Applications
In the event that a ceramic tile becomes compromised, action must be taken right away. Jagged edges threaten trips or cuts, and allow moisture and other foreign material to move under and between tiles. But the cons to ceramic application do not end here.

Anyone who has ever installed or removed ceramic knows how messy it can be. No amount of plastic, fans or precautions will stop the dust from penetrating a work zone. The removal and installation take days, but the cleanup can take weeks. Even minor, one or two tile replacements require large hammers, chisels or power tools and the complicated mixing of and setting mortar and grout.

Luxury vinyl tile is just the opposite. Installing LVT is a simple process; your professional installers will have no trouble quickly and efficiently installing the flooring. Removing vinyl flooring is an even easier process.

As for the functional applications for both, there is little competition. Whether in a high-traffic commercial setting or high moisture area like a restaurant or supermarket, luxury vinyl tile performs well. Vinyl that looks like ceramic is more comfortable to walk on, unlike ceramic. Ease of installation, removal, repair, easy cleaning, more reliable durability, and a wider range of looks and design options make LVT a no-brainer.

Cost
The prices of luxury vinyl tile flooring vs. ceramic tile are comparable at some levels and quite unequal at others. Depending on the size, color and quality of the tiles, ceramic falls within and far above the price of LVT.

With such high prices, you could say designers are buying ceramic for the high-end look and longevity. However, with the photographic technology and durable wear layer texture printing available to luxury vinyl tile makers, luxury vinyl that looks like ceramic is nearly indistinguishable from the real thing and can withstand extended use.

Installing window blinds is one of the easiest, cheapest, and most effective ways to instantly change the appearance of any room in your home. In addition to the aesthetic benefits of new window blinds, these coverings offer a number of practical benefits as well. If you’re in the market for new window treatments in Abuja , consider these advantages of window blinds.

Increase Privacy

Window blinds provide a level of privacy that you cannot get from many other window coverings. Slats can be tilted upward or downward during the day to increase privacy without sacrificing natural light. And should you want to increase or decrease the amount of light entering a room, you can adjust your blinds quickly and with a single touch.

Prevent Sun Damage

Ultraviolet rays can cause damage to furniture, flooring, artwork, and even important documents and photographs over time. Window blinds can help protect your property from sun damage by blocking the sun’s harmful UV rays. And because you can tilt the blinds upwards or downwards as needed, you can still enjoy all the benefits of natural light while eliminating direct sunlight and harmful UV rays.

Cool Your Home

In addition to protecting your belongings from UV rays that cause fading and warping, blinds can also help cool your home by eliminating direct sunlight. Not only will this help keep your home more comfortable during the warm summer months, but it can also lower your reliance on air conditioning to cool your home—which could lead to lower energy bills.

Add Style

Finally, window blinds will add personality and style to any room in your home. The wide variety of materials, styles, colors, and patterns that blinds come in allows you to choose the blind that best fits your décor and aesthetic goals. Visit a blind showroom in Denver for help finding the right blinds for any room in your home.
