Why do elevators choose PVC vinyl flooring?

 

In modern high-rise buildings, elevators are "vertical transportation tools" that carry tens of millions of people every day. As the core part of elevator decoration, the choice of floor materials is directly related to safety, aesthetics and cost of use. In recent years, PVC vinyl flooring has gradually become the mainstream choice for elevator floors. What are the scientific basis and practical advantages behind it? Let's find out!

1. Lightweight and energy-saving, reducing energy consumption

Traditional marble floorings weigh dozens of kilograms per square meter, while PVC floors weigh only 3-4 kilograms, less than 1/10 of the weight of stone. This lightweight design greatly reduces the load on the elevator, reduces motor wear and power consumption, and extends the service life of the elevator. Data shows that after switching to PVC floorings, the energy consumption of elevators can be reduced by 15%-20%, and the passenger capacity is also increased simultaneously.

 

2. Safety protection, details win

Anti-slip and pressure-resistant: The surface of the PVC flooring has been specially treated, and it can still maintain high friction when it comes into contact with water, avoiding slip accidents. Its soft and anti-pressure characteristics can also buffer the impact force and protect the safety of passengers.

Flame retardant and fireproof: The PVC flooring material has passed the national flame retardant standards and does not support combustion when in contact with fire, effectively improving the safety of the elevator.

 

3. Environmentally friendly and healthy, zero formaldehyde

PVC flooring is made of environmentally friendly raw materials and does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde and heavy metals. Its antibacterial surface can also inhibit the growth of bacteria, making it particularly suitable for places with high hygiene requirements such as hospitals and hotels.

 

4. Super durable, maintenance-free

Wear-resistant and anti-fouling: The surface is covered with a high-density wear-resistant layer, which can withstand high-frequency trampling and cart friction, and the service life is more than 10 years. Daily stains can be removed by simply wiping, without waxing.

 

5. A variety of appearances, customized styles

Say goodbye to monotony!

PVC flooring can realistically imitate marble, wood grain, carpet and other textures, and can also freely splice geometric patterns or corporate logos. From simple solid colors to luxurious parquet, it can easily match the decoration styles of different scenes such as office buildings, shopping malls, and residences.

 

6. Economical and efficient, the best cost-effective

PVC flooring has significant comprehensive cost advantages:

Easy installation: No complicated base treatment is required, it can be laid directly on steel plates or fireproof boards, shortening the construction period by 70%.

Low maintenance cost: It saves the cost of regular polishing of stone and frequent cleaning of carpets, making long-term use more cost-effective.

 

Conclusion: For elevator floor upgrades, choose PVC!
