How Vast Plastic Helped a European Multi-Family Housing Project Cut Acoustic Flooring Costs by 35%
- Client: A Leading Residential Property Renovation Contractor
- Location: Poland, Europe
- Project Scale: 12,000 Square Meters (Over 350 Rental Apartment Units)
- Product Selected: Vast Plastic 2.0mm Foam Backed Vinyl Flooring (0.3mm Wear Layer)
The Challenge: High Noise Complaints & Strict Budgets in Apartment Flipping
Our client, a prominent property renovation contractor in Poland, was tasked with updating flooring for a massive multi-family rental housing complex. The project faced two critical bottlenecks:
- Severe Sound Insulation Issues: Being an older concrete structure, impact noise from footsteps between floors was a major complaint among tenants. The local building code required strict acoustic performance.
- Tight Budget & Timeline: Traditional options like SPC click flooring or acoustic engineered wood were far over budget. Furthermore, the contractor needed to finish 350+ units within 45 days, meaning rigid planks would take too long to install.
The client needed a budget-friendly, 100% waterproof, and sound-dampening flooring solution that could be fast-tracked.
The Solution: Tailored Foam Backed PVC Roll Flooring
After assessing the subfloor conditions and acoustic blueprints, the technical team at Vast Plastic proposed our 2.0mm Foam Backed Vinyl Sheet Flooring with a 0.3mm Wear Layer.
- Acoustic Cushioning: The high-density closed-cell foam backing provides a "micro-elastic" barrier, capable of reducing impact sound by up to 18 dB—perfectly meeting European residential acoustic standards.
- Upgraded Durability: To withstand the quick turnover of rental tenants, we customized the wear layer to 0.3mm with an extra UV polyurethane coating, ensuring superior scratch and stain resistance.
- Optimized Efficiency: We manufactured the rolls in a 2.0-meter standard width. This allowed installers to roll out the flooring across entire living rooms and bedrooms with zero or minimal seams, saving immense labor time.
- Compliance Certification: We provided full CE, REACH, and EN 13501-1 Fire Rating (Bfl-s1) documentation, allowing the contractor to smoothly pass the local government's project inspection.
The Results: Data-Driven Success
By switching from rigid SPC tiles to Vast Plastic's cushioned vinyl rolls, the client achieved remarkable project metrics:
- 💰 35% Cost Savings: Total material and ocean freight costs were reduced by 35% compared to their initial SPC flooring budget.
- ⏱️ 10 Days Ahead of Schedule: The 2m-wide roll format allowed a small team of 4 installers to complete apartments 2x faster than using planks. The entire project was delivered 10days ahead of schedule.
- 🤫 Zero Noise Complaints: Post-occupancy tests showed a massive drop in ambient noise transmission. Six months later, tenant satisfaction is at an all-time high with zero acoustic complaints.
Client Testimonial
"Vast Plastic didn't just sell us flooring; they solved our structural noise problem. Their foam-backed vinyl roll was incredibly easy to lay down, and the wood-grain print looks so premium that it immediately boosted our rental value. We have already locked in our next container order for our Germany project."
