Commercial Vinyl Flooring Options

Heavy-duty commercial vinyl flooring offers numerous benefits for our Greatmats customers. Whenever customers want flooring that’s easy to clean and that can stand up to harsh treatment, commercial-grade vinyl flooring should be near the top of the list. Vinyl works well in areas ranging from healthcare facilities to fashion show runways and everywhere in between.

Benefits and Features of Commercial Grade Vinyl Flooring

Our customers select our commercial-grade vinyl flooring for a variety of reasons, including:

• Durability: This is a highly durable floor that often has a multi-year warranty. It’s tough enough to serve as commercial grade vinyl flooring for restaurants, but we do not recommend it for use in the restaurant's commercial kitchen.
  
• Sizes: Commercial sheet vinyl flooring in a roll format can be as large as 6x60 feet. We also have small tiles that may be easier to handle in sizes like 18-by-18 inches.
  
• Shapes: Most of our heavy-duty vinyl flooring rolls have a rectangular shape when fully unrolled. You also can select rectangular planks or square-shaped tiles.
  
• Thicknesses: Rolls of commercial vinyl flooring are extremely thin, usually between 1.5 and 3 mm (or 0.06 and 0.12 inches). Tiles and planks are typically between 3 and 7 mm in thickness (0.12 to 0.28 inches).
  
• Colors and designs: Solid colors and more complicated designs are available in our commercial vinyl and commercial linoleum flooring. A common design has a wood grain look.
  
• Textures and patterns: Commercial grade vinyl flooring can have a raised pattern that provides a little extra traction and enhances durability. Some patterns available are coin top, diamond plate, and leather grain.

Where to Use Commercial Vinyl Flooring

You can use commercial grade vinyl flooring in dozens of different locations. Some of the most popular installation locations our customers use include:

• Fitness centers: Vinyl floor rolls with a foam backing work nicely at a fitness center, as the cushioned backing protects the leg joints of the athletes.
  
• Schools: When you need flooring that offers slip-resistance in a high-traffic area near school entrances, textured vinyl flooring rolls are the ideal choice.
  
• Offices: Vinyl floors look great and are easy to maintain, which is ideal for an office setting where you need to impress visitors.
  
• Outdoor pool decks: At a pool with sun and water exposure, commercial vinyl flooring stands up well as a pool surround.
  
• Fashion shows: Vinyl flooring can have a glossy surface, which is ideal when creating a fashion show runway.
  
• Athletic gymnasiums: Vinyl rolls with a faux wood grain pattern resemble a hardwood basketball or volleyball floor, yielding the perfect look.
  
• Automotive centers: Some vinyl rolls offer a faux metallic finish that creates an industrial feel in an automotive showroom where customers will visit.
  
• Hospitality centers: No matter what color or visual design pattern you want at your hospitality center, the versatility of vinyl rolls lets you find the perfect look to match the mood.
  
• Dance studios and theaters: Vinyl rolls can provide the perfect finishing touch for a dance performance, whether you want a show-stopping metallic look, a plain white floor, or anything in between.
  
• Healthcare facilities: When you want a floor design that’s easy to take care of and disinfect in a doctor’s office or hospital, commercial vinyl rolls will fit your needs.
  
• Areas with heavy-duty requirements: Vinyl flooring works great in areas exposed to heavy-duty wear and tear, like emergency vehicle floors, mobile medical clinic floors, and exhibit hall floors.
