Answer a few questions and we'll recommend the best vinyl flooring for your needs
Everything you need to know before making your purchase
Vinyl flooring typically ranges from 2mm to 8mm. Thicker options (5mm+) provide better sound insulation, comfort underfoot, and durability. For high-traffic areas, we recommend at least 5mm thickness.
The wear layer protects against scratches and fading. Residential use needs 0.3mm+, while commercial spaces require 0.5mm or more. Higher wear layers mean longer-lasting floors.
100% waterproof vinyl can be installed in bathrooms and laundries. Water-resistant options handle spills but shouldn't be submerged. Check the core material—SPC and WPC cores offer the best water protection.
Click-lock systems are DIY-friendly and don't require glue. Glue-down options are more permanent. Loose-lay vinyl is great for temporary installations or rentals.
Australia's varying climate requires flooring that handles temperature fluctuations. SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) vinyl is more dimensionally stable and ideal for Australian conditions.
Look for vinyl flooring with low VOC emissions and recycled content. Many modern options are phthalate-free and FloorScore certified for better indoor air quality.
