Sheet vinyl is available in rolls varying in width and is available in 2 meter, 3 meter and 4 meter wide and is purchased per meter at roll width.

Polyvinyl chloride, commonly abbreviated PVC, is the third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer.

Sheet vinyl has a top layer of PVC on a foam backing. Vinyl tiles have a top layer of PVC on a solid PVC backing. Generally a vinyl tile has a heavier wear layer and is more resistant to cutting and damage.

Vinyl planks/tiles are water resistant and can be used in wet areas such as bathrooms, Laundry, Toilets and Kitchens.

Yes, being natural it can mark and dent easily. Due to this timber should not be used in high traffic areas unless you have considered how it will weather over time.

Yes, these products do mark and scratch but the planks are high in scratch resistance. The softer the sheet vinyl the more likely to mark or indent. Planking is less likely to mark or indent but heavy objects (fridges) can leave an imprint.

High quality laminate has superior scratch resistance but is still not scratch proof.

Engineered timber has a timber veneer and laminate is an image on medium density board.

Typically areas prone to risk of flooding will use a hard floor in order to reduce risk of damage and meet building regulations. Washing Machines must be on hard flooring.

The quality of the prep will affect the finish of the installation.
Bad Preparation = Bad Finish and you are more likely to have problems.
