Want to say clearly LVT, SPC, WPC floor is what, have to start from PVC floor. Baidu encyclopedia is such a description of PVC flooring: today the world is very popular in a new type of light floor decoration materials, also known as “Light floor material.”. It is a popular product in Europe, and Asia, Japan and South Korea. It is popular abroad. It began to enter the Chinese market in the early 1980s. Up to now, it has been widely accepted and widely used in large and medium-sized cities in China, such as home, hospital, school, office buildings, factories, public places, supermarkets, business and other places. “PVC flooring” means flooring made from polyvinyl chloride materials. In particular, polyvinyl chloride and its copolymers are used as the main raw materials, and fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, colorants and other excipients are added, it is produced by coating process or calendering, extrusion or extrusion process. The relevant national standard is GB/T11982 -2015.

The so-called PVC floor, commonly known as plastic floor, this is a large class of names, where the use of polyvinyl chloride as raw materials produced by the floor, can be roughly called PVC floor, LVT, SPC, WPC these new floor, actually also belongs to the PVC floor category, they just added different other materials, so it formed a separate sub-category.

These raw materials are widely used industrial raw materials, their environmental safety has been proven over the years. Once a reader in the SPC Reader Group asked host Old Liu, why not talk about the harm of plasticizers in the floor, such questions sometimes make people laugh, really do not know how to explain it. Anyone with a little knowledge of chemistry knows that there are many kinds of plasticisers, and some plasticisers are actually non-toxic, even if they are slightly toxic, most of them need to be ingested, and they need to be constantly ingested, can cause damage to the body. But I've never heard of anyone eating PVC floors as cookies. I hope it doesn't surprise you, the plastic wrap you use every day contains a lot of plasticizer, used for so many years, it seems to be safe.

LVT floor with flexible bending

LVT floor, soft flexible floor, professional expression for“Semi-rigid sheet plastic floor”, they can even be bent into a coil, LVT floor market retail price from tens to 200 yuan, previously mainly used for tooling projects more, because it is relatively high requirements for the floor, the need for professionals to lay, so cost considerations, usually only suitable for large-scale laying. Of course, for the flatness requirements of low rental housing or office, this floor is both good-looking and affordable. LVT flooring recognized advantages are: cheap, environmental protection, wear-resistant, elastic good impact, waterproof and flame retardant, waterproof and moisture-proof, easy maintenance. This kind of floor is often laid in schools, kindergartens, playrooms, in the family children's room is also used.

Besides Europe and the United States, Southeast Asia is one of the regions that use SPC floor the most, because it not only looks good, and waterproof moisture-proof performance is excellent, than the cost of laying tiles is lower, more time-saving laying.

There are many types of flooring on the website of Joka, a flooring factory in Europe, but SPC flooring is not available. This is certainly not to be found, as SPC flooring is known in Europe as RVP flooring. Roll uncle visited the SPC floor production process, it is a one-time heating from the fitting, no need to use glue. SPC floor market retail price, usually in 100 yuan per square meter -- 300 yuan. It has many advantages, such as high environmental protection; waterproof damp-proof; insect moth-proof; high fire-proof; sound-absorbing effect is good; won't crack, won't deformation, won't expand cold shrink; price is not high; installation is convenient; Does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde, heavy metals, phthalate and methanol. The disadvantages of SPC are high density, heavy, high transportation cost, thin thickness, so there is a certain requirement for the surface smoothness.

Use the WPC floor for the best experience

WPC floor, belongs to the semi-rigid sheet plastic floor, commonly known as wood plastic floor, because the early WPC floor added wood powder, so called wood plastic floor. Simply put, it consists of LVT layer and WPC layer, foot comfort and sound absorption effect is very prominent, if added cork layer or EVA layer, some people say its foot feel and solid wood floor almost no difference.

The WPC floor, make wallboard, use as outdoor floor is also quite many.

You may have used them, but why haven't you heard of these three floors

LVT, SPC, WPC these new floor, actually already existed in our many work and life. We may often step on them without knowing it. A few years ago LVT, SPC, WPC floor manufacturers, also not very vigorously to ordinary consumers to promote their products. Because these factories overseas orders, engineering orders a lot, they are not worried about product sales. There are many domestic do foreign single, engineering single-based factories, nearly 2,3 years, many foreign brands of the OEM, since the United States toxic floor incident, sino-us trade war, Europe and the United States purchase localization and other unstable factors, gradually attach importance to the commercial and civil retail market. However, the current focus is still focused on the promotion of"Zero formaldehyde and waterproof" these two aspects, compared to the traditional floor business marketing level, the new floor manufacturers to much less obvious.

Chinese factories actually have enough LVT, SPC, WPC flooring technology and production capacity, to know that Europe and the United States of imported flooring quality requirements are very high, once the detection of quality problems, the amount of claims is very surprising. If with the same quality standards, using new materials rather than recycling materials production domestic products, then LVT, SPC, WPC floor is completely assured.

By the way, there are many varieties of PVC flooring in European building materials supermarkets, ranging from zero to dozens of euros. Solid wood floor, some Europeans jokingly called it“Aristocratic floor”, not only the price is expensive, not casual installation, and the future maintenance also time-consuming money, so many families choose to buy all kinds of PVC flooring.

LVT, SPC, WPC, who will be the most red

In recent years, LVT, SPC, WPC flooring industry has developed rapidly, from the customs export data, as well as domestic sales data of these three types of flooring, have proved the future trend of new flooring, but it's hard to say which of them will emerge as the most popular with domestic consumers. There was a vote in the PVC flooring industry, and uncle gun voted for SPC flooring, because it was the easiest and most convenient to produce, and also the most suitable for ordinary homes and small and medium-sized businesses. The more people used it, nature is favored the possibility of greater, unless the industry was done all of a sudden, a large number of manufacturers jerry-built to sub-good, repeat the years of reinforced composite flooring industry mistakes.
