What Is Homogeneous Flooring?
Many people are familiar with tiles, carpets, and wooden floors, but may not know what “homogeneous flooring” means. To put it simply: Homogeneous flooring is made of a single, solid layer of PVC composite with uniform color and pattern throughout its entire thickness.
Key characteristics
of homogeneous flooring include
This uniformity is what makes homogeneous flooring different from heterogeneous flooring, which uses multiple layers. The word homogeneous itself means “same throughout,” referring to the consistent material composition from top to bottom.
01. Single-Layer Structure
02. Through-Color Appearance
03. Through-Color Appearance
04. Hygienic and Easy to Maintain
05. Widely Used in Institutions
In contrast, heterogeneous flooring has multiple layers and is more suited for residential and light commercial uses. Homogeneous flooring is the professional, heavy-duty option made for long-lasting performance.
Why Choose Homogeneous Flooring in Nepal?
The Advantages for Commercial and Institutional Projects
Nepal’s construction and interior design sector is growing rapidly, especially in:
- Hospitals and clinics
- Schools and colleges
- Corporate offices
- Laboratories
- Shopping malls and airports
- Factories and industrial plants
These sectors require floors that are not only attractive but also resistant to wear, hygienic, stable, and cost-effective over many years. Homogeneous flooring fulfills all of these demands.
01
Built for High Performance
Homogeneous flooring is rated for:
- Commercial very heavy duty (Class 34)
- Industrial heavy-duty (Class 43)
This makes homogeneous flooring suitable for spaces where traditional vinyl or tiles may fail prematurely.
02
Long Lifespan
Because the design runs throughout the material, scratches or minor abrasions do not expose a different layer underneath. This ensures long-term visual consistency.
03
Easy Repairs and Maintenance
A major advantage is the ability to restore the surface using polishing or buffing, reducing the need for full replacement.
04
Rich Color Stability
The flooring resists fading over time.
- Colour Fastness ≥ 6 (ISO 105-B02 rating)
This ensures floors remain vibrant for years, even in bright indoor environments.
05
Resistant to Stains and Chemicals
- “No Stain” under EN 423 testing
This is essential for hospitals, laboratories, and food-processing environments.
06
Safety-Certified
Homogeneous flooring meets stringent standards:
- EN 13501-1 fire classification
- Slip resistance (DIN 51130 and EN 13893)
- Hazardous substance compliance (GB 18586-2001)
These certifications ensure the flooring is safe for public and institutional environments.
