IVC Commercial: questions and answers
IVC Commercial offers specification-led resilient vinyl floors for settings including retail, education, healthcare and hospitality. Selecting a sheet vinyl floor requires more than colour: the exact wear layer, slip classification, acoustic requirements, substrate, seams and maintenance regime must match the project.
What is Centra 70 Avoriaz L34?
IVC Commercial lists it as compact heterogeneous sheet vinyl with a wood-look surface. Its product sheet specifies a 0.70 mm wear layer, fully-glued installation and different roll widths.
Does R10 mean a vinyl floor is safe for a commercial kitchen?
No universal conclusion follows from R10 alone. Slip control depends on expected contaminants, wet cleaning, footwear, surface performance and a site risk assessment. Kitchen and wet-area specifications may need specialist safety flooring.
What widths does IVC Centra 70 come in?
The Avoriaz L34 reference lists 200, 300 and 400 cm widths. Always confirm the selected design and current supply formats; roll widths determine where seams fall and how much material is ordered.
Is IVC commercial sheet vinyl glued or clicked?
The specified Avoriaz L34 item is fully glued. Other IVC floors and constructions may use different fixing systems. Match the installation instructions to the exact product and substrate.
Are all IVC commercial floors equally acoustic?
No. IVC separates compact, acoustic and safety-focused products in its commercial catalogue. Sound insulation and backing must be verified for the selected construction and the project’s acoustic targets.
Do I need welded seams?
Depending on the product, building use and design, welded seams can form part of the approved installation. Check IVC instructions, correct rod, hygiene specification and local requirements rather than treating seams as an optional decorative choice.
Can IVC vinyl be installed while a shop stays open?
A phased programme may be possible, but it needs safe access, furniture moves, adhesive curing, site segregation and time to protect the new floor. Include these assumptions in a commercial quotation.
What information must be on the handover sheet?
Record product and colour, batch, material quantities, relevant safety/performance documentation, floor preparation, installation and welding method, cleaning procedure and the appropriate supplier warranty.
