Creating clean spaces: Vinyl vs Carpet

Written by Nelia Garcia | 2020/11/05 3:32 PM

No matter the environment, it is essential to ensure that spaces are hygienic and free from germs. Covid-19 has taught us to assess our surroundings and make the necessary changes to improve the cleanliness of areas and surfaces. Keeping everyone safe and healthy has never been a higher priority.

When creating clean spaces, touchpoints & surfaces are crucial considerations as they are the main areas where germs congregate. Using materials that you can regularly and easily clean will improve the hygiene in a space and reduce the spread of infection. When selecting your floor surface, vinyl floor coverings are a wise option to improve the safety of your interior.

Introducing vinyl as an alternative to carpet is the perfect way to increase hygiene and reduce the spread of infection. Here are some benefits of choosing Polyflor vinyl for your next project:
