SPC, LVT, WPC, how much do you know about the floor materials of these new materials?

?

In floor decoration, my country is generally accustomed to using ceramic tiles, wood floors and carpets. The most popular in Europe and America is wood flooring, also known as "lightweight floor" or "lightweight floor". It is a very popular one in the world today. A new type of lightweight floor decoration material, popular in Europe, America and Asia, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions, and the utilization rate in some areas is even more than twice that of wood flooring.

?

Introduction of several new types of floor materials:

As a representative of the new floor material, SPC flooring, there are currently several common related categories LVT, WPC, etc., let's take a look at their advantages.

?

01-1 LVT floor

LVT floor is a semi-rigid sheet plastic floor, which is a high-grade elastic floor that can be realistic and highly imitation of wood grain and stone floors.

The advantages of LVT floor are as follows:

1. Green and environmental protection: The main raw material for the production of LVT flooring is polyvinyl chloride. Polyvinyl chloride is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic and renewable resource. There is no need to worry about its environmental protection.

2. Super wear-resistant: There is a special LVT wear-resistant layer on the surface of the LVT floor, and its wear-resistant revolutions can reach 300,000 revolutions. It can be used for 5-10 years under normal conditions according to the different wear-resistant thickness.

3. High elasticity and super impact resistance: LVT floor has a soft texture, so it has good elasticity, and has good elastic recovery under the impact of heavy objects.

4. Fireproof and flame retardant: The fireproof index of qualified LVT floor can reach B1 level, which means that the fireproof performance is very good, second only to stone.

5. Convenient maintenance: The maintenance of LVT floor is very convenient. If the ground is dirty, wipe it with a mop. If you want to maintain the long-lasting bright effect of the floor, you only need to wax and maintain it regularly, and the maintenance frequency is much lower than that of the laminate floor.

6. Waterproof and moisture-proof: Since the main component of LVT floor is vinyl resin, it has no affinity with water, so it is naturally not afraid of water, as long as it is not soaked for a long time, it will not be damaged; and it will not be mildewed due to high humidity.

01-2 WPC Floor

WPC wood-plastic floor is a semi-rigid sheet plastic floor, because it is difficult to handle the processing and raw material recycling after adding wood powder, so there is no wood powder in the current WPC floor substrate formula.

The advantages of WPC floor are as follows:

1. Low installation cost: The installation cost of WPC is far lower than ordinary brushed PVC floor, lower than ordinary PVC lock floor, and the installation cost of glue-free PVC floor, magic buckle and water-washed PVC floor is not much different.

2. Good water resistance: The water resistance of WPC is quite good, and the water resistance of the wood-plastic layer is also very stable. On the contrary, magic buckles, water-washed glue, and ordinary brushed PVC floors are waterproof because of the glue involved. general.

3. Convenient installation: WPC installation is relatively convenient and suitable for DIY.

4. Mute and good foot feel: WPC floor is definitely good in terms of silence and foot feel, especially WPC floor with cork or EVA pad.

5. Excellent environmental protection: WPC is also very good in environmental protection, including formaldehyde emissions, heavy metals, especially the Reach test, and all 144 items have passed.

01-3 SPC Floor

SPC stone plastic flooring is a kind of hard sheet flooring, which is very popular in developed countries in Europe, America and the Asia-Pacific market. With its excellent stability and durability, stone plastic flooring not only solves the problem of damp, mold, and rotten solid wood flooring, but also solves the formaldehyde problem of other decoration materials.

SPC floor is a new type of environmentally friendly composite material product, its advantages are as follows:

1. Waterproof and moisture-proof: It fundamentally solves the problem that wood products are easy to rot and swell and deform after absorbing water and damp in humid and watery environments, and can be used in environments where traditional wood products cannot be used. There are many colors to choose from: it has natural wood and wood texture, and you can customize the color you need according to your own personality.

2. High environmental protection, pollution-free, pollution-free, recyclable: the product does not contain benzene and formaldehyde, is an environmentally friendly product, recyclable greatly saves the amount of wood used, suitable for the national policy of sustainable development, and benefit the society.

3. High fire resistance: It can be effectively flame retardant, and the fire resistance level reaches B1. It will self-extinguish in case of fire and does not produce any toxic gas.

4. Good workability: it can be ordered, planed, sawed, drilled, and the surface can be painted.

Comparison of the new floor material and other floor materials Next, the comparison between the new floor material and the common floor material will better reflect the characteristics of this new floor material.

?

02-1 Comparison of new floor materials and wood floors

Compared with the wooden floor, the new floor material has the advantages of fire and flame retardant, high hardness, good stability, easy installation, and low noise. The imitation wood texture is not much different from the wooden floor in terms of expressiveness. The wooden floor can be replaced in the bedroom area. At the same time, its characteristics of fire resistance, high hardness, low noise, etc. are more suitable for living room spaces where people move more frequently than wooden floors.

?

02-2 Comparison of new floor materials and stone

The new floor material and stone material have obvious advantages in the multi-dimensional comparison of construction, interchangeability, expressiveness, comfort, material, noise, safety, variety, and application range. In the case that the new floor material has the expressive power of preventing the stone texture, it has a significant substitute advantage for the stone.

?

02-3 Comparison of new floor materials and tiles

The texture of the ceramic tiles is cold and is mainly used in wet and dirty kitchen and bathroom spaces to meet the practical needs of moisture-proof and easy descaling in the kitchen and bathroom spaces. Although the new floor material has advantages in touch and installation, it can be ignored under the practical needs of kitchen and bathroom space. Ceramic tiles are limited by the cold touch, and the application rate in spaces other than kitchen and bathroom is very low.

?

02-4 Comparison of new floor materials and carpets

The main application of carpet in indoor space is generally to be laid on the ground where floor decoration materials have been installed to protect the ground and look beautiful, and does not constitute a strong substitute relationship with the floor. The use in special celebrations is the use of props, which has the functions of enhancing the sense of ritual and dignity. This function is integrated into the social culture and is irreplaceable by new floor materials.

?

Restrictive factors for the popularization of new floor materials in the market The national concept is relatively conservative, and the value of new floor materials is still in the process of accepting and recognizing; many small manufacturers keep prices low in order to cater to consumers, mainly competing for the low-end and middle-end. market. Generally speaking, the domestic production technology of new floor materials is not perfect compared with the international ones. Many manufacturers only pay attention to large engineering projects and pay insufficient attention to small projects, home improvement and other markets. The last part is the installation process. I don’t understand the construction technology of the new floor material, and cannot find professional construction personnel in the local area.

?

New floor materials have significant advantages over stone, carpet, wood flooring and other floor decoration materials, and they are widely used, such as hospitals, schools, office buildings, factories, public places, supermarkets, commerce, and experience venues, etc., with market promotion efforts As consumers’ perceptions change, the application in home decoration will be popularized in the future. Compared with the occupancy rate of one-third of Western developed countries, my country’s new floor materials have considerable room for growth.
