Vinyl flooring is a synthetic flooring made primarily from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) + stabilizers + decor print + wear layer. Three main types: 1. LVT (LUXURY VINYL TILE/PLANK) - flexible PVC, glue-down or click. Thin 2-4mm. 2. WPC (WOOD PLASTIC COMPOSITE) - wood-flour + PVC core, 6-8mm, softer feel. 3. SPC (STONE PLASTIC COMPOSITE) - limestone + PVC core, 4-6mm, 100% waterproof, hardest. ALL VINYL FLOORING IS: 1. Water-resistant. 2. Click-lock or glue-down install. 3. Available in wood, stone, tile looks. 4. Wear-layer protected against scratches. PRACTICAL DIFFERENCES: 1. LVT - thinnest, cheapest, most flexible. Best for: budget commercial, retrofits. 2. WPC - softer/warmer underfoot, mid-priced. Best for: comfort-priority residential. 3. SPC - hardest, most stable, premium. Best for: most Indian residential. NOTE: At Material Depot, "vinyl flooring" usually refers to LVT/LVP/sheet vinyl. SPC and WPC are categorised separately due to their rigid-core distinct construction. AT MATERIAL DEPOT, vinyl (LVT/LVP) is our budget wood-look category - 400+ SKUs across wood, stone, herringbone looks. Excellent value for commercial, rental, transitional setups.

Vinyl flooring's six advantages - honestly assessed for Indian homes: 1. WATER RESISTANCE: All vinyl is water-resistant; SPC is 100% waterproof. 2. AFFORDABILITY: Rs 60-200/sqft material - among cheapest wood-look options. 3. EASE OF INSTALL: Click-lock or glue-down. Fast, DIY-friendly for LVP/SPC. 4. LOW MAINTENANCE: Wipe clean, no refinishing. 5. DESIGN VARIETY: Wood looks, stone, herringbone - wide range. 6. COMFORT UNDERFOOT: Softer than tile or laminate, slight warmth. WHEN VINYL WINS: 1. Kitchens, bathrooms (vs laminate/wood). 2. Commercial fit-outs (budget + durability). 3. Rental properties (replaceable). 4. Retrofit over existing flooring (thin LVT format). 5. Tight budget projects. WHEN ALTERNATIVES BEAT VINYL: 1. Premium feel underfoot → SPC (specifically) wins over LVT. 2. Real wood feel → engineered wood. 3. Hardest scratch surface → laminate. 4. Longest life → vitrified tile. 5. Heritage premium aesthetics → solid wood. INDIAN HOMES - RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. SPC (a vinyl subtype) is the most popular wood-look choice today. 2.
