PVC floors are alternative coatings to classic ceramic parquet and tile.

It is no coincidence that polyvinyl chloride, the technical name of PVC, is the easy and economical solution for both industrial and commercial and residential use; PVC guarantees innovation and low costs, precisely for its innovative materials that give a real wood effect to the floor. Let us therefore clarify the pros and cons of PVC floors.

WHAT IS PVC?

PVC is a very versatile polymer that can be used in various construction sectors: in fact it is easily moldable in various desired shapes, making it aesthetically pleasing. PVC is able to perfectly imitate noble materials, such as wood, also managing to reproduce the veins and knots of wood, or even stone and marble.
