Expansion gaps in vinyl flooring – everything you need to know

Vinyl floors are not only elegance and durability, but also technical requirements that ensure their longevity. One of the key issues is dilatation – a small gap in the floor that allows the material to “work” with changes in temperature and humidity. It is most often found in doors between rooms, but its importance goes further – especially in large areas.

Expansion joints in vinyl floors – everything you need to know

What is dilation?

Dilation is controlled break in the floor, which prevents deformation of the panels, formation of gaps or bulges. Thanks to it, the floor can react freely to fluctuations in temperature and air humidity, without losing its aesthetics and functionality.

Herringbone UniZip with backing – space limits

Collection Herringbone UniZip with built-in Silent Step underlay allows you to lay the floor up to 200 m² without expansion joints, provided that neither the length nor the width of the room exceeds 20 m.

In practice, this means that in smaller rooms or standard open spaces you can enjoy a uniform, aesthetic surface without the need to use expansion joints.

But when is expansion joint required?

the length of the room exceeds 20 m
the width of the room exceeds 20 m
total area exceeds 200 m²
