by Pooja Dara | September 5, 2024 | 7 mins read

The flooring is the primary foundation upon which the rest of the structural supports in a house are laid. Accentuate the beauty and increase its longevity by installing PVC floor carpet.

PVC carpet flooring is the most popular option after solid wood in the interior design market today. Also known as vinyl flooring, it has gained prominence in recent times. Some reasons for its popularity are that it is water and stain-resistant, wear-resistant and moisture-resistant. It is a safer choice for high-traffic areas such as entryways, kitchens, living rooms, hallways, etc. Its wide availability and various colours, textures, and patterns make it versatile. 

The best thing about PVC carpet flooring is that it can be installed over the existing flooring surface without the need for adhesives or staples. However, installing over an existing carpet can only be done when you ensure the pre-installed carpet is straight or uneven. Let’s dive into the most trending PVC carpet flooring designs to redefine your home. We are sure that something will definitely attract your eye.

It is not biodegradable and not recyclable so that it can produce environmental waste.

  • Requires high skill/experience, so you have to employ professional help. 
  • If the carpet roll gets damaged, you must replace the entire floor, which can result in significant costs.

6. Do PVC floor carpets have good acoustics & sound absorption?

PVC floor carpets reduce noise pollution because of their great sound absorption properties. This makes the carpeted areas more comfortable and quieter to live in. While footsteps on the hard floor create loud noises when you walk on it, the carpet acts as a buffer. PVC carpet flooring also absorbs sound and reduces reverberation, improving room acoustics.
