Vinyl floor covering: LVT, SPC and sheet vinyl

Vinyl is the floor most often asked for in kitchens and bathrooms. FlooringStore.co.za, a South African flooring supplier, sets out how the three kinds differ, and the kind decides the labour as much as the material.

LVT (luxury vinyl tile or plank)
Glued down onto a screeded subfloor, with no expansion gaps at the walls. It needs the flattest, smoothest surface of any floor, because every bump shows through the flexible vinyl.
SPC (stone plastic composite)
A rigid plank that clicks together as a floating floor. Most SPC comes with an underlay attached, and on concrete it still needs a damp-proof membrane (DPM).
Sheet vinyl
Sheet vinyl is laid from a roll, so a room is measured and priced by the length of roll it takes rather than by the plank.
Waterproof
LVT and SPC are fully synthetic, built from PVC layers, and waterproof right through, which is why they are the supplier's pick for bathrooms, kitchens and laundries.
The wear layer
A vinyl floor lasts as long as its clear top layer: about 0.15 to 0.2 mm suits bedrooms, 0.3 mm general living areas and hallways, and 0.5 mm or more any room up to heavy commercial use.

Prep work that adds to a flooring quote

A flat subfloor
Click floors need the subfloor flat to about 3 mm across 3 metres. High spots are ground down and hollows filled before laying, and that time is priced.
Smoothing compound
Glue-down vinyl almost always needs a smoothing compound, typically 4 to 5 mm thick, that must cure fully before the floor goes down. It smooths a floor that is nearly flat; it does not level an uneven one.
Underlay and DPM
Laminate almost never has underlay attached, so a 2 mm foam underlay with a built-in damp-proof membrane is bought on top; SPC without one needs both, or a combined product.
Skirtings and trims
Skirtings or quarter rounds cover the expansion gap along the walls on floating floors, and profiles finish doorways and the joins between two floor types.
Rooms to avoid
The supplier advises against laminate, LVT and SPC alike in a sunroom or conservatory, so ask the installer what suits a room like that before choosing.

    We have recently used Corporate Partitioning Projects for a couple of projects in our complex, in Wilgeheuwel, and we couldn't be happier with the results! The workmanship was excellent, their pricing was extremely competitive and the team worked very neatly and professionally. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality workmanship and great service. A big thank you to the entire team. Keep up the excellent work!

    Netwater Properties (Pty) Ltd confirm that we have been using CPP since around 2014 on a number of our premises. They have replaced kitchens and bathrooms for us in our residential complexes, as well as built partitions, laid carpets and wood laminate flooring in our offices. They also painted a complete residential complex for us a number of years ago when we were in charge of maintenance at that complex. We continue using them on an ongoing basis and would recommend them to any prospective client.

    I am absolutely thrilled with the work done by this company. They recently installed new flooring for us and repaired and repainted our bathroom ceiling. • Flooring: The installation was flawless, with great attention to detail. • Ceiling: They properly prepped the bathroom ceiling to ensure the new paint would withstand moisture, and the finish is perfectly smooth. The communication throughout the project was excellent, and the pricing was very fair and had great customer service. I will definitely be using them again for future projects!
