Outdoor vinyl flooring might not be the first choice people think of when preparing for an exterior flooring project. However, when used in the proper situation, it has quite a few benefits, including its durability, waterproof design, minimal maintenance requirements, and ease of installation. Some of the best options for outdoor vinyl products include:

• LonWood Marine TopSeal Commercial Vinyl Rolls
  
• LonWood Marine Collection Commercial Vinyl Rolls
  
• LonDeck Commercial Vinyl Rolls
  
• LonDeck Sierra Rolls
  
• Outdoor Field Wall Padding for Chain Link Fences

When installed, outdoor vinyl flooring will be stain and scratch resistant, and it will not allow the formation of mold or mildew, even when used in a frequently wet location, such as on a boat or in a location that receives significant rainfall. Vinyl will be resistant to insect damage too, unlike some forms of wood.

When seeking a type of exterior vinyl flooring, it’s important to think about the planned use case. The model of flooring selected will need to match the expected environmental conditions.

Is Vinyl Covered Wall Padding Suitable For Outdoor Athletic Stadiums?

Some types of vinyl used outdoors don’t necessarily qualify as flooring, but they still needs to stand up to effects of wind, sun and rain, such as the Outdoor Field Wall Padding for Chain Link Fences. Install these vinyl covered foam pads on fences at an outdoor stadium to provide cushioning for athletes who may be running too fast to stop before crashing into the wall.

Not only do these vinyl covered pads need to stand up to all kinds of weather conditions, but they also need to be able to absorb athletes' impact with the pad as they try to stop themselves. These thick vinyl covers can handle significant abuse.
