Properties of vinyl flooring, such as cost-effectiveness, durability, flexible handling, and easy design possibilities, make it suitable in hospitals, schools, offices, and houses. In addition, vinyl flooring is comfortable to walk on and reduces impact noise, which is frequently used as an alternative to higher-maintenance flooring like carpet. The necessity for floor protection and a rise in demand for efficient and visually appealing products have enhanced the demand for vinyl flooring. Currently, there is an availability of advanced print and textural techniques, making it possible for vinyl flooring to imitate the look of various flooring options, such as hardwood, marble, and stone. All these factors are fueling the demand for vinyl flooring.
