Definition
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet or tile flooring — a synthetic, moisture-resistant, easy-to-clean floor material available in endless colours and patterns. Vinyl flooring is increasingly popular in Indonesian hospitals, clinics, schools, and wet areas due to its hygiene, durability, and low maintenance. It is cheaper than stone or ceramic tile and warmer underfoot.
Example
An Indonesian clinic uses vinyl sheet flooring (2 mm thickness, welded seams) in light grey — the seamless, waterproof surface easily mopped and disinfected daily, superior to ceramic tile for infection control and patient comfort.
