Vinyl sheet flooring and vinyl plank flooring are both durable and low-maintenance flooring materials, making them a great choice for commercial and residential spaces in the Melbourne area. There are a few differences between the two product types mentioned above:
1. Material
Vinyl sheet flooring is a continuous sheet of vinyl, typically 6 or 12 feet wide. On the other hand, vinyl plank flooring is made up of individual vinyl planks that are typically 4-6 inches wide and 3-4 feet long. Vinyl planks will be laid next to each other in order to cover the whole floor of premises
2. Installation
Vinyl sheet flooring is typically installed in large, seamless pieces that are glued down to the subfloor, while vinyl plank flooring is usually installed as a "floating" floor, meaning the individual planks are not glued down but rather snap together as previously mentioned above
3. Appearance
Vinyl sheet flooring typically comes in a wider range of colours and patterns than vinyl plank flooring, but it can be more difficult to achieve a realistic wood or tile look. Vinyl plank flooring, however, is designed to look like real hardwood or tile, with textured surfaces and realistic grout lines.
4. Durability
Both vinyl sheet flooring and vinyl plank flooring are highly durable and resistant to water, scratches, and stains. However, vinyl plank flooring may be slightly more resistant to dents and gouges, since each plank is thicker and more rigid than a vinyl sheet.

5. Maintenance
Both vinyl sheet flooring and vinyl plank flooring are easy to maintain, requiring only regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping. Having said that, it is worth mentioning that vinyl planks may be easier to clean in between the planks, since there are no seams to trap dirt and debris.
The choice between vinyl sheet flooring and vinyl plank flooring will depend on your personal preferences and the specific needs of your commercial premises.
