What is PVC Commercial Flooring?
From the different structure, there are mainly three types: multi-layer composite PVC sheet flooring, homogeneous PVC sheet flooring and semi-homogeneous PVC sheet flooring. The multi-layer composite PVC floor means that it has a multi-layer structure, which is generally composed of 4 to 5 layers of structure stacked together. It generally has a wear-resistant layer (including UV treatment), a printed film layer, and a glass fiber layer. From the wear resistance, it is divided into general-purpose and durable types. The general-purpose commercial PVC flooring is the popular one throughout China. Some places with very large traffic, such as airports and railway stations, need to lay durable PVC floors, which are more wear-resistant and have a longer service life, but are also more expensive.

Advantages and characteristics of PVC commercial flooring:
1. Strong decorative effect - commercial PVC flooring has a variety of patterns and colors, such as carpet pattern, stone pattern, wood floor pattern, grass pattern, etc. The pattern of commercial PVC flooring is realistic and beautiful. The color is rich and gorgeous, and it is easy to cut and splice. It can give full play to your creativity and imagination, and can fully meet the personalized needs of designers and different users with different decoration styles. There is no color difference, light resistance, no radiation, and it will not fade after long-term use.
2. Quick installation and easy maintenance - commerical PVC flooring is quick to install and can be used after 24 hours without cement mortar. It is easy to clean and maintenance-free. It is not afraid of water immersion, oil stains, dilute acids, alkalis and other chemical erosion. It can be cleaned with a wet mop, saving time and effort. No waxing is required after installation. It can be as bright and clean as new with only daily maintenance.
3. Environmental protection and recycling - commercial PVC floor is the only recyclable floor material, which is of great significance to protecting our earth's natural resources and ecological environment.
4. Wide application - Due to the unique material and superb performance of commercial PVC flooring, as well as its easy installation, quick construction, reasonable price and high safety, it is widely used in offices, schools, hospitals, pharmaceutical factories, sports venues, entertainment venues, shopping malls, restaurants, hotels and other public places and individual families.
5. Comfortable foot feeling - The dense surface and high-elastic foam cushion layer of commercial PVC flooring have been seamlessly processed, with strong support, which can cushion heavy glassware from falling to the ground and prevent them from breaking easily, ensuring a comfortable foot feeling, close to carpet, and very suitable for use in places with elderly people and children. Walking on hard materials will make your feet feel worse, and walking for a long time will cause soreness and damage to the foot bones.
6. Small seams and seamless welding - The commercial PVC floor material is processed by hot-melt welding to form a seamless connection, avoiding the drawbacks of many seams and easy contamination of floor tiles, and playing the role of moisture-proof, dust-proof, clean and hygienic. The special color blocks are strictly installed and the seams are very small. The special varieties are almost invisible from a distance. It is the ideal choice in environments with high requirements for the overall effect of the floor, such as offices, or environments with high requirements for sterilization and disinfection, such as hospital operating rooms, etc.
7. Environmental protection and safety - The main raw materials used in PVC commercial flooring are PVC materials and calcium carbonate. Both PVC materials and calcium carbonate are environmentally friendly and non-toxic renewable resources, non-toxic and non-radioactive. It has long been widely used in people's daily lives, such as tap water pipes, tableware, medical infusion tube bags, etc. It is a green product strongly advocated by the country. Generally, commercial PVC flooring does not contain harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, benzene, phenol, etc., and has ultra-low heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, and is also non-radioactive.
8. Ultra-light and ultra-thin - commercial PVC floor is generally only 2-3mm thick and weighs only 2-3kg per square meter, which is less than 10% of ordinary floor materials. It has incomparable advantages in terms of building load-bearing and space saving in high-rise buildings. It also has special advantages in the renovation of old buildings.
9. Wear-resistant and scratch-resistant - The surface of PVCcommercial floor has a special transparent wear-resistant layer processed by high technology, and its wear-resistant revolutions can reach 300,000 revolutions. Among traditional floor materials, the wear-resistant laminate flooring has a wear-resistant revolution of only 13,000 revolutions, and the good laminate flooring has a wear-resistant revolution of only 20,000 revolutions. It is super wear-resistant, impact-resistant, non-deformable, reusable, and its service life is generally 20-30 years.
10. High elasticity and super impact resistance - PVC commercial floor is soft in texture, so it has good elasticity. It has good elastic recovery under the impact of heavy objects, which can minimize the damage to the human body and disperse the impact on the feet. Therefore, it can greatly reduce the risk of slips and falls. At the same time, it has strong elastic recovery from the impact of heavy objects and will not cause damage. The latest data shows that the rate of falls and injuries on excellent plastic floors in spaces with large traffic volume is reduced by nearly 70% compared with other floors.
11. Anti-slip - The wear-resistant layer on the surface of the commercial PVC floor has special anti-slip properties. Compared with ordinary floor materials, the commercial PVC floor feels more astringent and less likely to slip when it is wet. Because of its super anti-slip properties, it is the preferred floor decoration material in public places with high public safety requirements such as airports, hospitals, kindergartens, etc.
12. Fireproof - commercial PVC floor can reach B1 fireproof, which is also the highest standard of fireproof floor materials. It will not burn and can prevent burning. The smoke produced by high-quality PVC floor when passively ignited will never cause harm to the human body, and will not produce suffocating toxic and harmful gases.
13. Waterproof - Since the main components of commercial PVC flooring are plastic and calcium carbonate, the high-grade glass fiber layer ensures its dimensional stability, so it is naturally not afraid of water. As long as it is not soaked for a long time, it will not be damaged, nor will it become moldy due to high humidity or deformed due to temperature and humidity.
14. Sound absorption - Quietness is the basic indicator for evaluating the quality of living, office and recuperation environment. The unique surface layer and plastic foam cushion of commercial PVC flooring have a sound absorption effect that cannot be compared with ordinary floor materials after seamless treatment. It can fully play the role of sound absorption and sound insulation, and can isolate 15db-19dB of noise, solving the noise problem. Therefore, if you choose commercial PVC flooring in a quiet environment such as hospital wards, school libraries, lecture halls, etc., you no longer need to worry about the sound of high heels hitting the ground affecting your thinking.
15. Antibacterial - The surface of commercial PVC floor has undergone special antibacterial treatment. Some PVC floor surfaces with excellent performance have special antibacterial agents added to them, which have strong killing ability against most bacteria and the ability to inhibit bacterial reproduction.
16. Suitable for geothermal environment - commercial PVC floor is particularly suitable for geothermal environment due to its water resistance, good thermal stability and good thermal conductivity. It can ensure long-term durability and good thermal efficiency, and ensure that no harmful substances are released under the condition of circulating hot and cold.
