ᐅ Does vinyl deform under intense sunlight?

Hello everyone!

I got a second quote today regarding vinyl planks. Since my house will have a strong south-facing orientation and floor-to-ceiling windows, vinyl was discouraged because it is “not suitable” for this application.

Temperatures of “up to 70°C” (158°F) (nice reference to the cooling thread!) are expected there. The MANUFACTURER does not provide a warranty for this type of location. The first supplier didn’t mention anything about this.
Is that because they didn’t know about the windows, they are careless, or is the whole thing simply not true?

Who here has experience with vinyl warping in these conditions?

Have you ever heard of bio flooring? For example, from Wineo. It is basically like vinyl but made from plant-based materials (plant oil) and, according to the manufacturer, free of harmful substances, without chlorine, plasticizers, or solvents.

No!
Interesting!
I was offered a covering with similar properties called Korund. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any further or independent information about it so far.
