Why is PVC Vinyl Flooring More and More Popular?
PVC vinyl floor is a new type of lightweight floor decoration material that is very popular in the world today, also known as "lightweight floor material". It is a popular product in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea in Asia. It has been popular abroad. It has entered the Chinese market since the early 1980s. It has been widely recognized in large and medium-sized cities in China and is widely used, such as homes, hospitals, schools, office buildings, factories, public places, supermarkets, businesses, stadiums and other places. "PVC floor" refers to the floor made of polyvinyl chloride materials. Specifically, it is made of polyvinyl chloride and its copolymer resin as the main raw materials, and fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, colorants and other auxiliary materials are added. It is produced on a sheet-like continuous substrate through a coating process or by calendering, extrusion or extrusion.
PVC Flooring Types
⑴ From the structural point of view, there are mainly three types: multi-layer composite type/Heterogeneous Vinyl Sheet Flooring, Homogenous Vinyl Sheet Flooring Roll and Semi-homogeneous Vinyl Sheet Flooring. The so-called Heterogeneous Vinyl Sheet Flooring means that it has a multi-layer structure, which is generally composed of 4~5 layers of structure stacked, generally with a wear-resistant layer (including UV treatment), a printed film layer, a glass fiber layer, an elastic foam layer, a base layer, etc. The so-called Homogenous Vinyl Sheet Flooring means that it is homogeneous and permeable from top to bottom, that is, from the surface to the bottom, from top to bottom, it is the same color.
⑵ In terms of form, it is divided into two types: PVC vinyl floor roll or PVC vinyl sheet and PVC vinyl floor plank or PVC flooring tile; the so-called vinyl floor roll is a roll of pvc floor with a relatively soft texture. Generally, its width is 1.5 meters, 2 meters, etc., each roll is 20 meters long, and the total thickness is 1.6mm-3.2mm (only commercial pvc floor, pvc sports floor can be thicker up to 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, etc.). There are many specifications of pvc floor plank, mainly divided into strip material and square material.
What are the advantages of PVC plastic floor to be used as floor decoration material?
1. Light weight: Generally, the weight of PVC plastic floor is 2-3 kg/m2, which is less than 10% of ordinary floor. It has incomparable advantages in building load-bearing and space saving in high-rise buildings.
2. Environmental protection: The main raw material of general PVC plastic floor is polyvinyl chloride, which is an environmentally friendly and non-toxic renewable resource. Compared with harmful substances such as formaldehyde in wooden floors, its environmental protection performance has an absolute advantage.
3. High elasticity and impact resistance: PVC vinyl floor is soft in texture, so it has good elasticity. It has good elastic recovery under the impact of heavy objects, so it can greatly reduce the slip and fall injuries of personnel. At the same time, it also has good elastic recovery for the impact damage of heavy objects, and will not cause damage.
4. Anti-slip: PVC vinyl floor has the characteristic of being astringent with water. At the same time, general PVC vinyl floor is anti-slip treated (wear-resistant layer pattern)
5. Waterproof: The main component of PVC vinyl flooring is polyvinyl chloride, so it is naturally not afraid of water. As long as it is not soaked for a long time, it will not be damaged.
6. Sound absorption: PVC vinyl floor can absorb sound up to 20 decibels, so if you choose PVC vinyl floor in a quiet environment such as hospital wards, libraries, lecture halls, etc., you don't have to worry about the sound of high heels.
7. Various colors and patterns: PVC plastic floor can be processed into many colors and patterns, so users have a wider range of choices for patterns and can achieve personalized customization.
