Multilayered heterogeneous vinyl flooring combines durable performance with extensive design flexibility, making it suitable for demanding commercial, healthcare, education and public environments.
PerSquare (Pty) Ltd supplies Gerflor multilayered vinyl flooring across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and throughout South Africa, with Compact and Comfort solutions available to meet different performance, acoustic and application requirements.
Gerflor’s multilayered construction combines specialised layers to provide durability, design versatility and practical performance for high-traffic interiors.
What Is Multilayered Heterogeneous Vinyl Flooring?
Multilayered heterogeneous vinyl flooring is a resilient sheet flooring product constructed from several specialised layers, each contributing to the design, durability and performance of the finished floor.
Unlike homogeneous vinyl, which uses a single-layer construction, heterogeneous flooring typically combines a wear layer, decorative layer and supporting backing layers to create a broader range of colours, patterns and visual finishes.
Gerflor heterogeneous sheet flooring is available in Compact and Comfort constructions, allowing the correct product to be selected according to traffic, acoustic performance and the technical requirements of the project.
Compact ranges are designed for demanding high-traffic environments, while Comfort ranges incorporate an acoustic backing to provide improved impact sound insulation and underfoot comfort.

Performance
Compare requirements including traffic classification, wear resistance, acoustic performance, slip resistance and other project-specific technical considerations.
Compact or Comfort
Choose between Compact flooring for durable high-traffic performance or Comfort flooring where improved acoustic performance and underfoot comfort are important.

Comfort, Acoustics and Practical Performance
Healthcare and education environments require flooring that can withstand frequent use while supporting practical maintenance, comfort and acoustic requirements.
Gerflor Compact and Comfort ranges allow flooring to be selected according to the specific performance needs of hospitals, clinics, schools, universities and other public facilities.
Designed for Demanding Interior Spaces
Commercial and retail environments require flooring that balances durability, design and day-to-day practicality in areas exposed to continuous foot traffic.
Gerflor multilayered vinyl provides a wide choice of designs across Compact and Comfort constructions, allowing the flooring specification to be matched to the demands of each space.
Compare Multilayered Vinyl by Performance
The correct multilayered vinyl specification depends on how the flooring needs to perform once installed. PerSquare can assist with comparing Gerflor Compact and Comfort ranges against the technical, acoustic and operational requirements of your project.
Compact or Comfort
Compact and Comfort constructions provide different performance characteristics. Compact flooring prioritises durability in high-traffic areas, while Comfort flooring adds acoustic performance and greater underfoot comfort.
Traffic & Wear
Consider the expected level of traffic, wear layer and performance classification when selecting the appropriate multilayered vinyl flooring for the environment.
Acoustic Performance
Where impact sound reduction is important, Comfort ranges provide enhanced acoustic performance through their foam-backed construction. The required performance should be considered as part of the overall flooring specification.
Installation & Detailing
Subfloor preparation, adhesive selection, joint treatment and installation detailing all contribute to the finished performance of multilayered sheet flooring.
Technical Support From Subfloor to Final Specification
The performance of multilayered vinyl flooring depends on more than the floor covering itself. Subfloor condition, moisture, preparation, adhesive selection and installation detailing all contribute to the finished result.
PerSquare provides technical support throughout the specification process, helping project teams select the appropriate Gerflor Compact or Comfort flooring solution and understand the preparation and installation requirements for the application.
