- Wear-resistant: The concept of «vinyl» is associated with durability, making vinyl rugs perfect for high-traffic areas. They are prepared to withstand your kids playing or your furry friend running around. So, if you ever decide to remove the rug, it would be for a seasonal change, because you’re tired of it, or simply because you no longer like the design.
- Slip-resistant: Vinyl rugs are non-slip and prevent tripping hazards. With a thickness of only 3 mm, they blend seamlessly with the floor. Additionally, they can be easily secured to the floor using double-sided adhesives.
- Waterproof: Vinyl rugs are waterproof, making them suitable for bathrooms, kitchen sink areas, or even outdoor use.
- Thermal and noise insulation: Absorb sounds and reduce their intensity. Moreover, their material helps regulate the room temperature, preventing the floor from feeling too cold or hot when walked upon.

- Easy to store: If you get bored of the rug, want to replace it with one that suits the season better, or simply prefer a clear floor for a while, you can easily roll up the vinyl rug and store it anywhere. They occupy very little space and are lightweight.
