Import, distribution, and installation system for vinyl flooring, laminate flooring, sheet vinyl, and carpets
Vinyl flooring is a flooring material made from PVC plastic, with high durability, good water resistance, and easy installation. Thanks to its beautiful design, with many realistic wood-look and stone-look patterns, vinyl flooring is gradually replacing wood flooring and ceramic tiles in many homes and offices in Vietnam.
Currently, there are many types of vinyl flooring: Glue-down Vinyl Flooring, Click-lock Vinyl Flooring, self-adhesive vinyl flooring, etc. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, suitable for different usage needs. With over 12 years of experience in installing and distributing vinyl flooring, Thien Ha Floor will help you understand each type of flooring and choose the best solution for your space.
Vinyl flooring is a modern flooring material, made from PVC, SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) or WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) combined with other specialized additives. On top is a decorative wood-look or stone-look film and a scratch-resistant coating that helps the flooring remain durable and beautiful for many years of use.
Compared to wood flooring or ceramic tiles, vinyl flooring has clear advantages: 100% waterproof, easy to clean, quick to install, and reasonably priced. With rapidly developing production technology, vinyl flooring is becoming more durable, with more natural colors and patterns. The wood-look vinyl flooring and stone-look vinyl flooring lines are leading modern interior design trends in Vietnam.
Vinyl flooring is a convenient and cost-effective flooring solution
Vinyl flooring is a modern, durable, beautiful, and reasonably priced flooring material. Below are 5 main advantages that make vinyl flooring highly popular today.
Vinyl flooring is completely waterproof, does not warp or crack in humid environments. Its multi-layer structure helps the flooring remain stable, colorfast, and load-bearing. In fact, many households have used vinyl flooring for over 10 years, and the flooring remains flat, sturdy, and has not experienced any serious damage. For high-end vinyl flooring with a thickness of 3mm or more, the lifespan can reach 15 - 20 years if installed correctly with technical expertise and used in a suitable environment.
The smooth surface of vinyl flooring is less prone to dirt and has a scratch-resistant coating 0.2 – 0.5mm thick, protecting the floor from daily impacts. Users only need to clean the floor gently with a soft broom or a neutral floor cleaner to keep it looking new and clean. No polishing or periodic maintenance is required.
Vinyl flooring can be installed directly over many types of old subfloors such as ceramic tiles, concrete, cement, old wood flooring, as long as the subfloor is flat and dry. Vinyl flooring installation is simple and quick, usually taking only 2-3 days. No complex demolition or preparation is needed, which shortens installation time and reduces costs. The material cost of vinyl flooring is also significantly lower than wood flooring and ceramic tiles. Vinyl flooring is considered a balanced flooring solution in terms of cost, aesthetics, and durability.
With modern printing technology, vinyl flooring offers a rich variety of colors and patterns. New vinyl flooring designs are continuously updated to meet the diverse and growing demands of customers. With a high level of finish, vinyl flooring provides a luxurious and modern feel, comparable to other types of flooring. Users have countless options, from natural wood grain, marble stone texture, modern concrete texture, to soft carpet patterns, meeting all design styles and personal preferences.
The thicker the vinyl flooring (3mm or more), the more noticeably improved the sound insulation, noise reduction, and comfortable underfoot feel. The floor surface has good grip, is anti-slip, and safe for children and the elderly. Thanks to its effective thermal insulation, vinyl flooring also helps keep your feet warm in winter and cool in summer, providing a comfortable feeling all year round.
Despite its many advantages in features and aesthetics, vinyl flooring still has some limitations. Understanding these weaknesses will help you choose the right type of flooring and use it more effectively.
Vinyl flooring has a scratch-resistant coating, but it can still be scratched if heavy objects are dragged, if it collides with sharp objects, or due to frequent friction (such as swivel chair wheels, sand stuck to shoes, furniture legs, etc.). These scratches do not affect durability but reduce aesthetic appeal, especially in high-traffic areas.

Vinyl flooring cannot withstand high temperatures. If placed near gas stoves, heaters, or exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods through glass doors, vinyl flooring may deform, blister, or fade. Low-quality vinyl flooring lines often contain recycled plastic, which can slightly melt or emit an odor when exposed to heat.
Solution:
- Do not install indoor vinyl flooring in outdoor areas, uncovered balconies, near cooking areas, or high heat sources. You can use outdoor wood plastic composite flooring specifically designed for exterior spaces.
- Use sun-blocking curtains or heat-insulating film in glass window areas to limit direct sunlight.
- Prioritize choosing SPC vinyl flooring lines or those with a UV protective layer if used in rooms with abundant natural light.
Vinyl flooring with a thickness of 2mm – 6mm has limited load-bearing capacity. If subjected to strong impacts, vinyl flooring can dent, crack, or deform, especially thin self-adhesive vinyl flooring under 3mm or of poor quality.
Solution:
- Choose vinyl flooring with appropriate thickness and quality for its intended use (preferably 3mm or more).
- Avoid placing or dragging heavy objects directly on the floor surface without protective measures such as pads or load-bearing mats.
Vinyl flooring can be classified according to various criteria such as material, pattern type, installation method, or thickness.
Additionally, vinyl flooring can also be categorized by form, including vinyl planks and vinyl sheets (also known as vinyl rolls).
Vinyl roll
PVC vinyl flooring (or vinyl flooring) is made from PVC plastic, has high elasticity, and good mold resistance. Thanks to its flexible properties, this type of flooring can be produced in large rolls (vinyl rolls) or in planks. With its light weight, low cost, and easy installation on various subfloors, PVC vinyl flooring is a popular choice for residential projects, offices, and schools.

SPC vinyl flooring is composed of PVC plastic combined with stone powder, creating a solid and exceptionally durable core layer. This type of flooring is renowned for its high load-bearing capacity, absolute waterproofness, and resistance to warping or termites even when used in humid environments. SPC vinyl flooring is often designed with a smart click-lock system, allowing for quick, glue-free installation and easy disassembly when needed.

WPC vinyl flooring is made from PVC plastic combined with wood powder, offering the warm, natural beauty of real wood flooring while retaining the superior advantages of plastic.
Thanks to its hybrid wood-plastic structure, WPC flooring offers effective waterproof, moisture-resistant, and anti-termite properties, along with good sound and thermal insulation, providing a comfortable underfoot feel. However, the hardness and load-bearing capacity of WPC vinyl flooring are lower than SPC vinyl flooring, so it is typically used for dry interior spaces with less heavy impact, such as bedrooms, living rooms, or offices.
SPC Click-lock Vinyl Flooring
Wood-look vinyl flooring is a type of flooring that realistically mimics the grain, color, and texture of natural wood, bringing a warm and luxurious aesthetic to any space. Made from synthetic plastic, this type of flooring does not warp, shrink, or suffer from termite damage, and it is also more waterproof and easier to clean than real wood flooring.
Wood-look vinyl flooring
Stone-look vinyl flooring boasts a luxurious appearance like natural stone, yet it is more affordable and easier to install. Stone texture patterns are highly diverse, ranging from marble and granite to other natural stones like limestone, basalt, or sandstone, etc. Stone-look, terrazzo, and concrete-look vinyl flooring are widely used for offices, stores, spas, cafes, etc.
Stone-look vinyl flooring
Carpet-look vinyl flooring is designed to replicate the patterns of traditional carpets, bringing warmth to a space. With good sound and thermal insulation, this type of flooring effectively reduces noise and creates a comfortable feeling when moving - suitable for private spaces such as bedrooms, children's rooms, or quiet work areas.
Additionally, carpet-look vinyl flooring has the outstanding advantage of being easy to clean and maintain. Unlike fabric carpets that easily collect dust and are difficult to clean, the surface of carpet-look vinyl flooring is designed to be dust-resistant and easy to wipe clean, helping to maintain cleanliness and safety for users.
However, compared to wood-look or stone-look flooring lines, carpet-look vinyl flooring offers fewer choices in designs and colors, primarily focusing on neutral tones with simple patterns. Therefore, this is a suitable choice when you prioritize softness and sound insulation over prominent decorative elements.
Carpet-look vinyl flooring
Glue-down Vinyl Flooring is a simple and cost-effective installation method. Glue-down vinyl flooring uses a separately purchased specialized adhesive to bond directly to the subfloor, providing strong adhesion.
Glue-down vinyl flooring has a thickness of only 2mm – 3mm; the greater the thickness, the higher the price and stability. Glue-down vinyl flooring is suitable for areas with low to medium foot traffic or temporary projects such as rented rooms, rental apartments, small businesses, or product display areas.
Glue-down vinyl flooring uses specialized adhesive to bond to the subfloor
Self-adhesive vinyl flooring (or peel-and-stick vinyl flooring) is an improvement on traditional glue-down vinyl flooring, typically with a thickness of 1.5 – 3mm. The flooring planks have a pre-applied adhesive layer on the underside, making installation quick and convenient. Users simply peel off the protective layer and stick it directly onto the subfloor without needing additional external adhesive. Self-adhesive vinyl flooring is particularly suitable for projects requiring quick installation, producing no odor, and having minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
Click-lock Vinyl Flooring allows planks to be securely joined together via a tongue and groove system without the need for adhesive. With a thickness of 4 – 8mm, Click-lock Vinyl Flooring is very suitable for high-humidity areas or spaces that require frequent changes, as you can easily disassemble and replace it without damaging the subfloor.
Click-lock Vinyl Flooring is popular in high-end apartments, offices, hotels, shopping centers, etc. Compared to Glue-down Vinyl Flooring, Click-lock Vinyl Flooring has higher durability but is more expensive.
Investing in high-quality vinyl flooring not only affects the durability and aesthetics of the project but also ensures long-term safety and effective use. Therefore, you should prioritize purchasing vinyl flooring from reputable brands, officially distributed, and with a clear warranty policy of 5 years or more. Many floating products on the market are cheap but of unknown origin, using poor-quality recycled materials that will quickly fade, peel easily, and deform with weather changes.
Vinyl flooring in the living room
Depending on your budget and intended use, you should choose vinyl flooring with suitable characteristics, such as thickness, design, waterproof capability, and product durability, to ensure long-term effectiveness.
When purchasing vinyl flooring, you need to retain your receipt, the supplier's contact information, and understand the warranty coverage. Note that most warranties are non-transferable when selling a home.
Vinyl flooring is relatively easy to install, but most issues leading to rapid deterioration during use often stem from incorrect installation procedures. If you are installing it yourself at home, you need to follow the standard instructions from the manufacturer to optimize its functionality.
Vinyl flooring is very easy to clean, so you should regularly wipe away dust and dirt to maintain its durability and aesthetic appeal. At the same time, do not use strong detergents as they can damage the floor surface. In particular, limit the floor's exposure to direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight.
