What is PVC flooring?

PVC flooring is a synthetic floor made up of several layers. Thanks to its strong top layer it is hard-wearing, water-resistant and sound-absorbing. Ideal for families, pets and underfloor heating!

1. Dryback PVC: sleek and quiet

Dryback PVC, also called glue-down PVC, is glued directly to the subfloor. This gives a very sleek result and a very quiet floor.

Advantages of dryback PVC:

  • Highly suitable for underfloor heating
  • No clicking sound, so extra quiet
  • Sleek finish without visible joints
  • Ideal for herringbone and wide herringbone patterns


Please note: the subfloor must be completely level. We therefore always recommend professional levelling.

2. Click PVC: easy to lay yourself

Click PVC has a handy click system, similar to laminate. This makes it easy to lay yourself, without glue.

Advantages of click PVC:

  • Quick and easy installation
  • Floating installation, so no glue needed
  • Suitable for renovation projects
  • Available in many designs and textures


With click PVC an underlay is usually needed for extra cushioning and stability.

3. Silent Rigid Click: extra quiet and stable

Silent Rigid Click PVC is the latest generation of PVC flooring. This variant has a rigid core and an integrated underlay, giving extra walking comfort and noise reduction.

Advantages of Silent Rigid Click:

  • Extra sound-absorbing (ideal for apartments)
  • No separate underlay needed
  • Dimensionally stable, even with temperature changes
  • Quick to lay thanks to the click system


Perfect for anyone who wants to combine comfort and convenience.

Different shapes and patterns

PVC flooring is available in all kinds of shapes and laying patterns, so you can give your interior a unique look.

Popular patterns:

  • Straight plank: classic and timeless
  • Herringbone: luxurious and playful
  • Wide herringbone: bolder than herringbone, modern and robust
  • Tiles: ideal for a concrete or marble look


With PVC you can also choose from other variants, such as chevron, mosaic or even a concrete texture. There is a suitable floor for every style.
