Leading European manufacturer of sheet vinyl flooring, IVC Commercial will be exhibiting at Housing 2026, showcasing its dedicated social housing collections that are affordable for providers and which have the ability to improve lives for tena

Sheet vinyl floors from IVC Commercial provide social housing with a flooring option that’s suitable for more than just bathrooms and kitchens.

A growing number of social housing providers are stepping beyond regulation to consider the positive impact of providing suitable floor coverings throughout the home. With measurable positive impact on tenants, the move towards provision above current standards suggests a new way of thinking about social housing that places greater emphasis on wellbeing.

With the recent announcement that the revised Decent Homes Standard for England will not mandate floor coverings in all rooms of social housing, Beauflor asks whether the provision of flooring for tenants should really be a postcode lottery.

While some forward-thinking social housing providers in England are including floor coverings throughout the homes they let, many others are still stripping out the attempts of previous tenants to improve the standard of their home and welcoming new tenants with bare floors. Unsurprisingly, these bare floors put tenants under financial strain to put right, or they are simply left living and sleeping in a home that has a negative impact on their well-being. 

IVC Commercial’s affordable flooring solutions for public areas in social housing deliver durability and homely design.

With its Pionieer 70 and Isafe 70 dedicated flooring solutions for public areas in social housing, IVC Commercial helps providers to achieve a high-quality floor that upholds value requirements. The floors prioritise durability, safety and ease of maintenance across a range of welcoming residential designs. 

With the Zenura collection of sheet vinyl, IVC Commercial can respond to the need for cost-effective floors that enhance the lives of people living in social housing.

With growing focus on social housing providing a good standard of accommodation or tenants, providers are considering flooring outside of the regulatory requirement for its use in bathrooms and kitchens. The consensus is that providing suitable flooring in all areas of the home positively impacts the physical and mental wellbeing of tenants, but concerns still exist as to the cost, ongoing maintenance and refurbishment of floors. 

Beauflor® sheet vinyl floors go beyond standards to improve the quality of social housing.

In social housing projects ensuring your choice of floor complies with health and safety regulations is an essential part of the specification process. With Beauflor sheet vinyl flooring for social housing, no matter which floor you choose you are guaranteed full health and safety compliance.
