IVC sheet vinyl goes with two different backings
Our sheet vinyl flooring is designed to suit a wide range of residential needs, thanks to two specialised backing options. Each backing offers distinct benefits, allowing you to choose the right solution for comfort, performance and ease of installation.
PVC backing
Our sheet vinyl flooring with PVC backing creates quiet, comfortable spaces that enhance wellbeing, thanks to its excellent noise reduction and underfoot comfort. Designed for all types of residential areas, this versatile solution includes three high-performance PVC backing options, each tailored to meet the specific demands of different spaces within the home.

Textile backing
Textile-backed sheet vinyl flooring enhances comfort, quietness and warmth, creating spaces that feel as good as they look. The added textile layer also simplifies and speeds up installation, often without glue on larger areas, while smoothing out subfloor irregularities and reducing preparation time, making it ideal for renovation projects. Available in five different textile backing types, each option is designed to deliver specific performance benefits.
