In every society much work goes into supplying our houses with fresh and potable water. In the past this meant hauling buckets of water from the nearest well or creek, a situation that unfortunately still persists in many parts of the world. The installation of PVC water supply networks over the past century has transformed the lives of millions of people across the world by providing clean and fresh piped water to their home every day to drink, cook or wash. PVC is also commonly used to build sewer systems to safely take used water away from our homes.

Watching the snow gently fall through the window of a warm and well-insulated room, did you ever consider the instrumental role that PVC windows play to keep our homes comfortable and cosy during cold winters?

In our House of PVC blog series, we take a look at the role of PVC as an indispensable and durable construction material for every modern-day home. In this second episode: PVC flooring, a path to innovation.

Home is where the heart is, the old saying goes. Indeed, there’s nothing like unwinding in the comfort of your own home after a long, busy day. But did you ever think about how PVC helps keep your home so comfortable, cozy, warm and connected?

PVC pipes have been used to establish safe drinking water systems since the 1930s and most of these are still in use. In addition to their long expected lifespan – in excess of 100 years – recent research conducted by Vynova has demonstrated that PVC pipes are highly suited for mechanical recycling.
