What is the difference between Floorify and self-adhesive vinyl flooring?

There are some important differences between Floorify floors with click system and self-adhesive vinyl floors.

Installation

Floorify floors use an advanced click system that allows the planks or tiles to be installed floating, with no glue involved. This not only makes installation easier, but also ensures a solid, stable floor without the permanent fixation of glue. Self-adhesive vinyl floors, on the other hand, have an adhesive layer on the underside and are attached directly to the subfloor, which is a permanent solution that is more difficult to remove or replace.

Water resistance

Floorify planks and tiles are designed to be completely waterproof, making them an excellent choice for all rooms, including humid environments such as kitchens and bathrooms. Self-adhesive vinyl floors can also be water-resistant, but because they are applied directly to the subfloor, problems can arise from water seeping along the edges. This can lead to loosening of the floor or mould growth under the floor.

Durability and comfort

Floorify floors consist of a rigid core, making them highly durable and resistant to dents and stains. They are also more comfortable underfoot and offer better sound absorption than standard self-adhesive vinyl floors. Our Floorify underlays further enhance these qualities.

Maintenance

Both types of flooring are easy to maintain, but Floorify offers an added advantage due to its structure and design that is less prone to wear and damage. This makes cleaning easier and ensures that the Floorify floor retains its beautiful look for longer.

Appearance and Styles

Floorify offers a wide range of designs. From realistic wood and tile designs to unique patterns, with the texture and feel of natural materials. Self-adhesive vinyl floors also offer various styles, but the textures and patterns of Floorify floors are extremely creative and unique.

Flexibility when moving or renovating

Because Floorify floors are installed floating, they can be easily removed and reused in another room or home. This is a big advantage over self-adhesive vinyl floors, which are permanently fixed to the subfloor and cannot be reused.

In short, if you are looking for a flooring solution that is durable, water-resistant, easy to install and maintain, as well as offering a wide range of styles, Floorify is an excellent choice. Self-adhesive vinyl flooring can be a good option for quick and cheaper projects, but for long-term comfort and quality, Floorify offers unique advantages.
