What is the difference between flexible and rigid vinyl flooring?
Flexible vinyl floors are first-generation vinyl floors. They are also known as LVT floors. When compared to this generation, the rigid vinyl floors from Floorify have a number of practical benefits, but the most important is that Floorify rigid vinyl floors do not contain harmful plasticisers.
Practical differences:
Conclusion
| flexible vinyl floors | Floorify |
|---|---|
| Contains plasticisers | Contains no plasticisers |
| Surface must be perfectly level, otherwise it will be damaged. Levelling is always recommended. | You can install Floorify floors on just about any surface, even without levelling. There is no risk of damage to underlying joints or of other unevenness (see laying instructions). |
| Weak click connection | Strong click connection No risk of open joints when the floor cools. It is possible to use a softer, more levelling and sound-insulating underfloor. |
| nstallation in or exposure to direct sunlight poses a problem. Flexible planks will become more flexible, expand and push other planks out of the way. The floor will then rise at the weakened points. | Installation in direct sunlight does not pose a problem. When a Floorify floor heats up and expands, the click connections will do their job and expansion will take place in the expansion joint. |
