5 Things You Should Know About Woven Vinyl

Woven vinyl flooring combines the warmth and texture of textiles with the durability and performance of vinyl. It is a contemporary version of woven textile flooring. Before deciding to use this material in commercial spaces, it is important to have a good understanding of it. Soft-surfaced woven vinyl flooring offers many advantages.

Versatility
Dickson woven vinyl flooring combines the superior durability of vinyl with the aesthetic appeal and texture of traditional weaving. A special bonding process used by Dickson ensures that the flooring is completely waterproof, dust-resistant, and stain-resistant. The fibers are heat-fused together and adhered to the base while still hot, preventing dirt or liquid from penetrating between the fibers.

Woven vinyl unites style and functionality in a single flooring type. It brings unique design and visual appeal to commercial spaces, offering both a stylish texture and the performance of vinyl.

It is fashionable, uniquely designed, rich in color options, and sustainable. By combining different shapes—such as rolls, squares, diamonds, hexagons, or rhombus—with various colors, extraordinary combinations can be created. Dickson’s design and R&D department pushes the limits of woven flooring by producing living products with three-dimensional and holographic effects that bring a modern and sophisticated atmosphere to any environment.

Dickson has developed a high-performance base structure with SoundGuard® technology, which effectively absorbs ambient noise and significantly reduces impact sound. Additionally, thanks to Dickson’s FrayGuard® technology, the common fraying issue during cutting is minimized, increasing the durability of the weave.
Variations in production methods, installation, yarn tension, and style result in a wide range of woven vinyl flooring options.

Durability
Woven vinyl floors are highly resistant to wear. Their structured surfaces naturally provide slip resistance. They are also antibacterial and waterproof. Since they do not retain moisture, mold cannot develop on the weave. They withstand UV rays, heat, and bleach. With its technology, Dickson® retains its original colors even under intense sunlight.

Yarns containing rigid monofilament fibers are used for durability, providing protection against scratches, leaks, fire, and impacts.
They are stain-resistant, easy to clean, dust- and mold-proof, breathable, and provide friction underfoot. The combination of these features with a wide variety of colors and designs—and the limitless design possibilities—is what makes this product so appealing.

Applications
Woven vinyl can be used both indoors and outdoors. Its waterproof nature makes it suitable for outdoor terraces or poolside areas. It can be used for walking paths on wet floors.
All Dickson woven vinyl collections are suitable for Class 33 Heavy Commercial Traffic. With resistance to heat and UV, it can be installed in sunny areas and outdoors. Developed for public spaces exposed to the toughest conditions—such as hotels, offices, stores, restaurants, educational buildings, and healthcare facilities—Dickson® woven vinyl flooring is an innovative flooring solution that combines aesthetics and durability.

Proper Maintenance
Although the weave of woven vinyl creates a textured surface, Dickson’s special bonding process ensures the flooring is completely waterproof, dust-resistant, and stain-resistant. This process prevents dirt or liquids from penetrating between the fibers, keeping spills and dirt on the surface for easy cleaning.

Compared to other textile flooring, woven vinyl is easy to use and maintain. Dickson® woven vinyl prevents dirt from penetrating into the fibers and keeps it on the surface.

The cleaning method for woven vinyl differs from other flooring materials. Mopping is not recommended as it can spread dirt and stains; routine vacuuming is sufficient. For spills and stains, deeper cleaning may be needed. To remove a dried stain, brushing the area with a stiff brush, vacuuming the debris, and wiping with clean water is the quickest and most practical solution.

Additionally, the waterproof surface makes hygienic maintenance easier and prevents stubborn stains from forming. Color selection is also an important factor in ease of maintenance. For areas exposed to heavy soiling, striped or medium-dark tones can make dust and dirt less visible, simplifying upkeep.

Woven vinyl flooring, increasingly used in high-traffic commercial areas, is frequently chosen for both indoor and outdoor spaces due to its key features. At the same time, with Dickson woven vinyl, your flooring can become a true work of art.
