Where to buy cushion vinyl flooring

Cushion vinyl flooring may sound like a curious concept to some. After all, many will have the image of vinyl flooring as a thin, sterile and functional material that would do a fine job of maintaining a clean environment somewhere like a kitchen or a hospital. To talk of cushions invites notions of comfort and warmth.
Yet when it comes to vinyl flooring in the home, this is precisely the combination that is on offer, allowing the virtues of vinyl - its toughness, waterproof nature, easy maintenance and variety of designs - to be combined with a large measure of home comfort.
This works by being thicker than normal vinyl flooring and has a foam layer embedded within it to provide a softness and springiness that few other materials - except perhaps for cork - can emulate.
Such a material has some obvious uses. Kitchen vinyl flooring, for instance, it could soften the fall of any dropped items, thus reducing breakages, while also being kind to the feet of those who may be standing on them a long time while preparing meals. Another use may be in areas where children play, as this can provide protection from bumps and scrapes during moments of rough-and-tumble, as well as withstanding spills and mess.
So having cushioned vinyl flooring is bound to be a desirable thing for many people. But this of course begs the question of where to acquire the material.
The answer is that RhinoFloor is a major supplier of a variety of such items. Like any vinyl cushion flooring, the product is capable of being lain on any other surface below - provided this is stable - such as tiles.
Rhinofloor's range includes the supergrip floors with five-year warranties that offer grip resistance even when wet, just the sort of thing to avoid when carrying food in a kitchen. Those purchasing this sort of floor can therefore enjoy the dual benefits of a floor that offers give and grip, while eliminating hardness and slip.
The Rhinofloor product range of cushioned vinyl comes in both 3 mm and 2.5 mm thicknesses and those seeking these should find something to suit every taste.
