Natural Vinyl Flooring Tiles - Best Choice For Your Home

History of Flooring

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.

Floor Cloth Invention

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.

Linoleum Invention

With the pace of time, linoleum was made from linseed oil, cork gums, and pigmenting materials. It was leather-like oil-cloth and inexpensive, so affordable for all.

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.
