By Lisa Hobbie

Created: Mar, 2021 - Modified: Sep, 2024

Sheet vinyl flooring comes in many forms with products that look like wood or tile, colors like black and white or blue and green, pattern options, weight options, and more. Although suitable for just about any commercial place or space, it is commonly installed in areas prone to moisture, as it is made with waterproof materials like PVC. Commercial kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, and bathrooms are great candidates for sheet vinyl flooring, as are gymnasiums, fitness gyms, and other commercial settings. Dance studios, TV studios, churches, and restaurants use it, as well.

  1. LonFloor Vista Commercial Vinyl Rolls
