What kind of floor is SPC floor?

In recent years, a new type of green and environmentally friendly new material flooring has increasingly appeared in people's field of vision. It is SPC flooring. The floor was first popular in Europe and the United States and other countries. Because of its good environmental protection, waterproof, flame retardant, fast installation and many other advantages that are different from traditional floors, once it was launched on the market, it was widely recognized by the market and the industry developed rapidly. From the annual DOMOTEX asia exhibition held in Shanghai, we can see the proportion and attention of SPC flooring in the exhibition.

What is SPC floor

SPC floor composition

SPC floor is a new type of environmentally friendly floor material. Its main raw materials are natural stone powder (calcium carbonate) and thermoplastic polymer materials. SPC flooring is called rigid core flooring abroad, and it was first popular in the United States.

SPC floor structure

Stone crystal flooring generally consists of four layers, from top to bottom are the UV layer, wear-resistant layer, color film layer, and stone crystal substrate layer.

In addition, many manufacturers will add mute mats or cork mats and other functional mats on the bottom of the SPC floor to make the floor have the advantages of shock absorption, rebound, silence, and moisture resistance.

After the floor is treated by UV, it can resist pollution and effectively absorb ultraviolet rays, enhance abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, fire and flame retardant, easy to clean, and prolong the service life of the product; the wear layer makes the floor wear resistant and not easy to wear ; The intermediate printing color film layer gives the floor a realistic texture, which can highly simulate the texture of solid wood, carpet, and ceramic tiles, presenting diverse and personalized decorative effects.

Advantages of SPC:

1. Green and environmental protection 0 formaldehyde

SPC floor is a green and environmentally friendly new material floor, which does not contain heavy metals such as formaldehyde, benzene, lead and cadmium, and is non-toxic and harmless from raw materials to processing, and is environmentally friendly.

2. Waterproof

   The SPC floor is made of high-density material, and the whole body is waterproof, and it is not deformed by water and blisters. It is not afraid of wet environments such as bathrooms and kitchens, and there is no need to worry about the floor being damp and moldy.

3. High fire retardant coefficient.

For example, the fire rating of the SPC floor can reach level B1, it will not deform in case of fire, and it is safe to use.

4. Durable

   SPC floor has a dense core, which makes it have the characteristics of strong construction and strong impact resistance. It is not afraid of daily bumps, durable and easy to take care of. At the same time, the wear resistance coefficient of stone crystal floor is relatively high, which can usually reach more than 10,000 revolutions. There are advantages in setting up scenes with high traffic such as hotels and business districts.

5. Attract noise reduction

  Unique material and structure, with good sound absorption and noise reduction function, the echo of falling objects is much lower than that of ceramic tiles and wooden floors, creating a quiet and comfortable office, campus, library and other spaces.

6. Dust-free quick installation

   Shijing flooring generally has its own locking function, no glue, no nails, simple and fast paving, and easy to disassemble, and can be quickly replaced or reused. At the same time, compared with wooden floor installation, there is no dust during installation and prevents two Secondary pollution; can be put into use faster after installation. According to the introduction of the paving staff of Yuebu Shijing Flooring, the average floor paving speed is 15-25㎡/hour.

7. Dimensional stability

   Wood floors are easy to dry and shrink. SPC floors can cope with humidity and large temperature changes. When faced with extreme temperature changes, they can show more excellent performance to resist thermal expansion and contraction. Can achieve large-area paving without deformation.

8, non-slip

   The anti-slip grade reaches R10. When there is water on the ground, there is no need to worry about slipping. It is suitable for toilets and residential environments with elderly and children.

9, wear-resistant

  The new solid material core board and the innovative UV surface technology make the SPC floor have high impact resistance, abrasion resistance, and light fastness, so the service life is longer. The wear resistance of the SPC floor is as high as 16000 to 25000 revolutions, which is suitable for public places and office environments; it has a 6-level light fastness, long-lasting color fastness, and the balcony is also suitable for paving.

10. Dirty resistance

The unique treatment technology of SPC floor improves the stain resistance of the floor. Daily stains such as milk stains, oil stains, shoe stains, and rice stains can be wiped off.

11. Antibacterial

   Antibacterial function can be regarded as a highlight of SPC floor. SPC floor applies antibacterial technology and adds antibacterial factors to inhibit the growth of staphylococcus and E. coli bacteria, creating a healthy home for kindergartens, schools, hospitals and other places that require high sanitary environment , Provides an ideal choice for floor paving materials.

The unique technology of SPC flooring can highly simulate the pattern and texture of solid wood flooring, ceramic tiles, and carpets to meet the individual aesthetic needs of different consumers. Some SPC flooring manufacturers have also developed new products that have both the excellent characteristics of SPC flooring and the texture of simulated textures. Among them, imitation natural wood and imitation natural stone have become the two most popular designs. SPC flooring solid wood composite flooring not only has the natural wood grain and texture of solid wood flooring, the fidelity is very close to solid wood flooring, but also has the advantages of SPC flooring waterproof and moisture-proof, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, non-slip wear resistance, etc.; and similar to marble, tile pattern Shijing flooring also enriches the choices of consumers, while also providing designers with more visual choices. With the development of digital printing technology, the pattern of SPC floor can be non-repetitive and personalized to meet the customized needs of different consumers. In addition, digital printing technology can also be applied to the manufacture of wall panels. With the continuous improvement of printing technology, SPC flooring can imitate various textures in the future.

In the future, as people's understanding of SPC flooring becomes clearer and deeper, I believe that more people will choose stone crystal flooring as floor decoration materials, and the arrival of the SPC era will also redefine the term "floor".
