Sheet vinyl is the most cost-effective way to put a smart, watertight floor down in a kitchen, bathroom, or utility room. Modern domestic vinyls are nothing like the thin offcuts your grandparents put down — they are cushioned for comfort, slip-resistant where you want them to be, and the wood and stone prints are good enough that most visitors will not tell the difference.
Why people still choose sheet vinyl over LVT
Sheet vinyl goes down as one piece, so there are no joints for water to get under in a bathroom or utility. It is also faster to fit than LVT, which means less disruption in a working kitchen, and the per-square-metre cost is roughly half of an equivalent LVT.
Where it fits and where it does not
We recommend sheet vinyl for kitchens, bathrooms, utilities, downstairs WCs, and conservatories. We would steer you away from it for main living areas or hallways — those rooms suit LVT or wood for the extra weight and feel underfoot.
