-
PVC flooring is a flexible, durable, and hygienic floor covering system made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. With its waterproof structure, easy-to-clean feature, and wide pattern options, it is widely used in hospitals, schools, offices, and homes. It comes in different types such as homogeneous, heterogeneous, and LVT.
-
PVC flooring prices vary depending on material quality, thickness (1.5-3mm), brand, pattern features, and the size of the area to be applied. Additionally, floor preparation work (screed, leveling) and labor costs also affect the total price. Contact us at 0530 179 65 34 for a detailed price quote.
-
Installation time varies depending on the size of the area. For example, a 100 m² area takes an average of 2-3 days. Floor preparation processes (screed, leveling) are not included in this time and may require an additional 1-2 days. Our professional team offers fast and quality installation guarantee.
-
No, PVC flooring is not harmful to health. Our products with CE, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certificates are TURKAK approved and comply with European standards. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, it is preferred in hospitals and kindergartens. It is completely safe for pets and children. Its dust-trapping structure makes it recommended for asthma and bronchitis patients.
-
Epoxy flooring is used in factories, workshops, garages, parking lots, warehouses, hospitals, food facilities, laboratories, and commercial areas. Thanks to its chemical resistance, high mechanical strength, and hygienic structure, it is ideal for industrial areas requiring heavy workloads. It is also preferred for decorative purposes in modern offices.
-
Epoxy flooring requires 24-48 hours to become walkable. The full curing time is approximately 7 days. After this period, the floor reaches full resistance to heavy loads, chemicals, and vehicle traffic. Ambient temperature may affect drying time.
-
Yes, epoxy can be applied over solid floors such as concrete, ceramic, and marble. However, the floor must be clean, dry, and free of oil/dust. Old coating materials (linoleum, tile adhesive, etc.) must be cleaned and the floor must be sanded. Floor preparation is critical for the durability of epoxy.
-
Smooth epoxy surfaces can be slightly slippery, but this problem is completely eliminated with orange peel textured (non-slip) epoxy application. Non-slip epoxy should be preferred especially for ramps, parking lots, production areas, and wet floor areas. Special anti-slip additives can also be used for safety.
-
Carpet tiles are modular floor covering systems usually produced in 50x50 cm square pieces. The reasons for their preference in offices are; acoustic sound insulation, easy installation and maintenance, ability to replace damaged pieces individually, wide color and pattern options, and aesthetic appearance. Additionally, its anti-static property is ideal for computers and electronic devices.
-
For carpet tile cleaning, regular cleaning should be done using a vacuum cleaner. Water-based carpet cleaners are recommended for stains. IMPORTANT: Bleach and heavy chemicals should never be used as they damage the carpet texture. Deep cleaning with professional carpet washing machines 1-2 times a year is recommended.
-
PA (Polyamide) Yarn: More durable, resistant to crushing, returns to its original pile height thanks to its "memory" structure. Ideal for high-traffic offices, banks, and commercial areas. Price is slightly higher.
PP (Polypropylene) Yarn: More economical but may crush and wear over time. Preferred for medium and low traffic areas. A budget-friendly option. -

LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) is a premium quality vinyl floor covering. It is installed without adhesive thanks to the click system. It is waterproof, durable, and offers realistic wood/stone appearance. It is thicker (4-5mm), more elegant, and more expensive than standard PVC. It is preferred as a luxury alternative in homes and offices.
-
Rubber flooring, sports PVC, and acrylic flooring are ideal options for gymnasiums. Rubber flooring with its shock-absorbing property is for fitness halls, sports PVC with its elastic structure is for basketball/volleyball courts, and acrylic flooring is suitable for outdoor tennis courts. Tatami mats are preferred for martial arts like judo and karate.

-
Self-leveling screed is a leveling material that automatically eliminates slopes and roughness on the floor and spreads by itself. A flat, clean floor is essential for coatings such as PVC, LVT, laminate, and epoxy. Self-leveling screed application prepares this floor and extends the coating life. It dries in an average of 24-48 hours.
-
