Product Overview

UNITECH NEXUS homogeneous vinyl is manufactured with consistent colour and pattern throughout the full thickness of the material. Unlike layered flooring, scratches and wear do not reveal a different colour underneath — the surface appearance remains unchanged for decades. Available in two usage configurations: standard (general commercial) and heavy-duty (high-traffic commercial).

Standard MOQ is 500 m² per colour; OEM and custom colour orders start at 1,000 m² per colour.

The heat-welded installation creates a completely sealed surface, making it the preferred choice for operating theatres, cleanrooms, laboratories, and school corridors where hygiene and easy cleaning are critical. The floor can be coved up the wall and welded for a fully watertight, bacteria-proof junction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity for homogeneous vinyl flooring?

Standard MOQ is 500 sqm per colour. For OEM and custom colour orders, the MOQ is 1,000 sqm per colour. Contact our sales team for project-specific or sample-stage arrangements.

What is the difference between Group P and Group T abrasion resistance?

EN 660-2 defines four wear groups (T > P > M > F), ranked by Frick-Taber abrasion testing. Group T is the highest abrasion resistance grade, designed for heavy-traffic environments such as hospital corridors, school hallways, and transport terminals; Group P suits general commercial areas such as offices and retail. Ask our sales team which configuration matches your project's traffic level.

Can homogeneous vinyl be installed over existing flooring?

Yes, provided the existing floor is smooth, clean, dry, and structurally sound. We recommend applying a self-levelling compound (such as GREEN POINT GP996) over uneven substrates before installation. Do not install over cushioned vinyl, carpet, or floating floors.

Is homogeneous vinyl suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes. With a thermal conductivity of ~0.25 W/mK, homogeneous vinyl transfers heat efficiently. The maximum recommended surface temperature is 27°C. Always follow the heating system manufacturer's commissioning procedure before floor installation.

How do you clean and maintain homogeneous vinyl flooring?

Daily dry mopping or vacuuming. Damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaner weekly. No waxing or polishing required. The heat-welded seamless surface prevents water penetration. Avoid aggressive solvents, steel wool, and steam cleaners.

What is the typical production lead time?

In-stock colours ship within 5-7 business days. Custom colour orders require 15-20 business days for production. Container loading is typically completed within 1-2 days after production clearance.

What is homogeneous vinyl flooring?

Homogeneous vinyl flooring is a single-layer PVC sheet where colour and pattern run through the full material thickness. Because the wear area is part of the same dense structure rather than a thin printed layer, it handles heavy traffic and repeated cleaning — a common specification for hospitals, schools, offices and cleanrooms. It is produced to EN ISO 10581 for homogeneous vinyl floor coverings.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for PVC flooring?

Our standard MOQ is 500 m² per colour. Colours are counted separately, so a project that uses three colours normally means three minimum quantities. For project specifications, OEM colours or first trial orders, MOQ can be negotiated — tell us your colour split and quantity and we will confirm what is possible in writing. Lead time: for standard flooring orders, production takes about 7–10 days from written confirmation of the specification. Project quantities and special colour matching are confirmed order by order. We quote FOB Shanghai.
