(homogeneous sheet vinyl)
Homogeneous sheet vinyl represents the pinnacle of resilient flooring technology, combining uniform composition with seamless installation. Unlike heterogeneous alternatives, these sheets contain consistent material layers, ensuring 98.7% color stability under UV exposure according to ASTM F1913-18 standards. The monolithic structure eliminates delamination risks while providing 0.35mm/year wear resistance in commercial settings.
Advanced manufacturing processes enable homogeneous vinyl sheets to achieve:
Cross-section analysis reveals a dense 4.5kg/m³ PVC core with integrated UV-cured polyurethane coatings, delivering 3x better scratch resistance than laminated products.
Brand | Thickness (mm) | Wear Layer | Stain Resistance | Warranty | Price/Sqft |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sphera Homogeneous | 3.2 | 0.5mm | Class 1 (EN 13329) | 20 years | $4.75 |
VinylFlex Pro | 2.8 | 0.3mm | Class 2 | 15 years | $3.90 |
UniSheet Plus | 3.0 | 0.4mm | Class 1 | 18 years | $4.20 |
Customization options for homogeneous vinyl sheet flooring include:
Specialized formulations can withstand 80,000+ rolling load cycles (BS EN 425:2002) in industrial environments.
A 2023 case study at Mercy General Hospital demonstrated:
Sphera homogeneous vinyl and similar premium products deliver 30-40% lifecycle cost savings compared to VCT or linoleum. With 98% recyclability rates and 60+ year proven performance in heritage buildings, these sheets remain the strategic choice for facilities requiring long-term value and minimal maintenance.
(homogeneous sheet vinyl)
A: Homogeneous sheet vinyl is a single-layer, durable flooring material made from pure vinyl. Its uniform composition allows for consistent patterns and color throughout its thickness. It's widely used in high-traffic commercial spaces.
A: Unlike layered vinyl products, homogeneous vinyl sheet flooring has no wear layer as its color and pattern permeate the entire material. This makes it more resistant to scratches and stains. Its homogeneous structure allows for deep polishing to renew the surface.
A: Sphera homogeneous vinyl requires daily sweeping and periodic damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaners. Its non-porous surface resists bacterial growth, simplifying maintenance. Deep scrubbing and polishing can restore its original luster over time.
A: It's ideal for healthcare facilities, schools, and retail spaces due to its slip-resistance and durability. The seamless installation prevents dirt accumulation in joints. Its chemical resistance makes it suitable for laboratories and clean rooms.
A: Sphera homogeneous vinyl contains recycled content and is 100% recyclable at end-of-life. It meets strict indoor air quality standards with low VOC emissions. The manufacturing process reduces energy consumption compared to traditional flooring production.
