Vinyl Plank Flooring in South Africa – Durable, Waterproof & Stylish

Vinyl plank flooring has quickly become one of South Africa’s most popular flooring options — combining the elegance of wood with the resilience of modern materials. At Laminate Floor World, we supply and install a full range of vinyl flooring collections, including luxury SPC and LVT planks designed to withstand moisture, impact, and everyday wear. Perfect for homes, offices, and retail spaces, vinyl plank flooring delivers long-lasting beauty and unmatched practicality.

What Is Vinyl Plank Flooring?

Vinyl plank flooring (often called LVT or SPC) replicates the look of hardwood while offering 100 % waterproof protection. Each plank consists of multiple layers — a wear layer, design layer, core, and backing — engineered for strength and comfort. Thanks to these innovations, vinyl planks provide superior dimensional stability and resistance to heat, sunlight, and heavy traffic.

• Wear layer: Transparent, scratch-resistant coating.
• Design layer: High-definition print of natural wood or stone.
• Rigid core: SPC (Stone Polymer Composite) or flexible LVT core for durability.
• Backing layer: Acoustic underlay for quiet, comfortable walking.

This layered construction makes vinyl plank flooring ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and open-plan living areas where traditional laminate or hardwood might struggle with moisture.

• Vinyl vs Laminate: Vinyl is waterproof; laminate is water-resistant but offers a more natural wood feel.
• Vinyl vs Tile: Vinyl is warmer and softer underfoot, while tile is fully waterproof but colder and harder.
