Introduction • In primitive homes, floors were made mostly from a mixture of stone aggregates with lime solutions. Homes of the rich were of natural stones, but the poor were struggling with sub-standard materials. • The invention of cement had eased the floor maintenance, but basic issues were persistent. To make floor appearance good-looking, floor clothes were invented, which was replaced by some relatively sturdy fabrics, including canvas, hemp, and linen gradually.
PVC Invention In the 1950s, the invention of plastic chemicals has given birth to PVC or Poly Vinyl Chloride material, which was a long chain of the molecules of Polyvinyl Chloride or simply vinyl as a base material.
Layered Vinyl Flooring or Luxury Vinyl Flooring • Later on, the layered vinyl flooring material become popular thanks to various protecting coving on the top and supporting base material at the bottom of PVC sheet to give it solid support against heavy foot traffic and unevenness developed over the time in the base structure. • However, the term Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is a commercial term, but technically, it is a layered vinyl sheet or tiles. LVT offers printing or overall appearance of natural stones and woods across the mass. Such luxury comes with a price but a lot cheaper than natural stones or ceramic/porcelain tiles.
1. Vinyl resins and plasticizers when stirring together make a plastisol. 2. Along with plastisol, AZO compound heated to produce vinyl form. 3. The vinyl form has consistency to spread in a slurry on the backing.
1. Now, slurry laid down on backing of felt or wood pulp using a reverse roll-coater. 2. After pouring, it smoothed out. 3. Now, coated sheet placed in an oven to convert the vinyl form into the gel. 4. Vinyl resin absorbs the plasticizer and set.
1. The next step is to run the gel in a printing press impressed with metal intaglio plates. 2. With this, the gel gets impressions of decorative patterns, including colors, designs, and embossing effects.
1. A mixture of plasticizer and vinyl prepared and ran on the printed gel. 2. When the combination runs through an oven at a higher temperature than before it creates a clear vinyl by absorbing the plasticizer and melts. 3. Thus, a sturdy layer forms on the top of the printed layer and bear the brunt of foot traffic.

How Much Does Vinyl Flooring Cost? • We know regular vinyl flooring is cheaper than other flooring materials, and it ranges from $0.50 – $2 per square foot. However, luxury vinyl flooring is running between $2 and $5+ per square foot. The differences in the cost is due to the quality of LVT/luxury vinyl tiles that are matching with woods and stones in appearance and other physical properties like hardness and water-resistance.
