I’m currently considering installing a PVC floor covering over my old ceramic tiles.
I no longer want tiles because over time, some damage has occurred from dropped objects—like potholes.
I’m not so sure about vinyl flooring in the kitchen anymore, as I’ve recently seen in several homes that individual tiles can lift or ripple unattractively under the weight of the kitchen units.
Now I’m looking at PVC or linoleum flooring.
What do you think about that?
How durable is this type of flooring?
Should it be installed as a floating floor or glued down?
Is there an alternative to filling the joints to avoid their impressions showing on the surface?
What should I generally keep in mind?
Pros and cons?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I’m really looking forward to them.

There is not much difference between PVC and vinyl. I would link to the exact explanation, but since that is not allowed, just a note to search for it if needed.
Best regards
