Resilient flooring (or floorcoverings) refers to floorcoverings made from materials with some elasticity. This covers a range of products with varying compositions, including Luxury Vinyl Tiles or Planks (LVT or LVT/P), sheet vinyl, linoleum, rubber, cork, safety sheet flooring, and hybrid/rigid core tiles.
Resilient flooring is highly durable as a floorcovering and may be suitable for use in high-humidity locations such as bathrooms. In 2023, it is estimated that over 29 million square metres of resilient floorcoverings were sold into the Australian market. The products are used across both commercial and residential sectors, including offices, hotels, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, sports facilities, supermarkets, retail shops and housing and typically have a lifespan of around 30 years. |
