What is a PVC floor?

PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, a synthetic material that is extremely suitable as a floor covering. PVC floors combine the warm appearance of wood with the practical advantages of vinyl. This makes them an excellent choice for both living spaces and commercial environments.

Advantages of a PVC floor:

Durable: Wear-resistant and lasts for years.
Easy to maintain: Easy to clean and resistant to stains.
Water-resistant: Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and other damp areas.
Suitable for underfloor heating: PVC conducts heat excellently.
Sound-dampening: Less footfall noise, ideal for apartments and offices.

At Bouwshop Utrecht, we have PVC floors in various styles and colors, so there is always a floor that matches your interior.


Herringbone vs. Regular Pattern: What Suits You?

PVC floors come in different patterns, but the two most popular are:

1. Herringbone PVC

Herringbone PVC is the trend of the moment. This classic pattern gives a luxurious and stylish look and is often chosen in modern and classic interiors.

Why choose herringbone PVC?
✔ Creates a luxurious look
✔ Visually enlarges the space
✔ Perfect for a chic and timeless ambiance

💡 Please note: Herringbone PVC often requires more craftsmanship during installation than a straight plank.

2. Regular PVC (Straight Plank Pattern)

A straight plank PVC floor is timeless and provides a sleek and calm look. This pattern fits well in modern and minimalist interiors.

Why choose a regular pattern?
✔ Sleek and modern appearance
✔ Easier to install
✔ Suitable for any space

Whether you choose herringbone or a straight plank, both styles can be found in our Bouwshop Utrecht showroom.


Click PVC or Dryback (Glue-down PVC): Which Will You Choose?

When choosing a PVC floor, you can opt for click PVC or glue-down PVC. What are the differences?

Click PVC: Quick and Easy to Install

Click PVC has a convenient click system, similar to laminate. This makes it a perfect option for DIY enthusiasts.

✔ Quick and easy installation (without glue)
✔ Often with integrated underlay
✔ Suitable for temporary and rental homes

💡 Please note: Click PVC requires an even subfloor for a neat result.

Glue-down PVC: Super Sleek and Stable

Glue-down PVC is directly adhered to the subfloor. This ensures a very sleek and professional finish.

✔ Extremely stable and durable
✔ Sound-dampening and perfect for underfloor heating
✔ Suitable for large areas

💡 Advice: Glue-down PVC provides the most beautiful end result and is the best choice for a permanent flooring solution.


Does it come with a standard underlay?

An underlay is essential for a stable and durable PVC floor. With click PVC, the underlay is often integrated, while with glue-down PVC, you need a separate underlay.

Why an underlay is important:

✅ Ensures an even subfloor
✅ Reduces noise pollution
✅ Improves insulation

💡 At Bouwshop Utrecht, we are happy to advise you on the best underlay for your situation.
