Waterproof Interlocking Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring

Waterproof principle

1. Compact structure
- The SPC substrate layer of the SPC floor has a compact structure, and the filling of calcium carbonate makes the internal gaps of the material extremely small. It is difficult for water molecules to penetrate into this compact structure, just like a solid fortress, blocking water outside the floor.
- The bottom layer of the floor is usually waterproofed, and it works together with the SPC substrate layer to form a two-way waterproof barrier. Even if there is water on the ground, it can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating from the bottom.

2. Lock design
- Interlocking Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring are mostly connected by locks. After installation, the adjacent floors are closely spliced, with no gaps or only very small gaps. Even if water is sprinkled on the surface of the floor, it is difficult to enter the interior of the floor through these gaps, further enhancing the waterproof performance.

3. Performance characteristics

(I) Waterproof performance

1. Good adaptability to high humidity environment
- In humid environments such as the rainy season in the south, or in buildings near the sea, waterproof SPC floorings can keep the ground dry. It will not deform or mold due to absorbing a lot of water like solid wood floors. For example, in homes in coastal areas, even if the air humidity remains above 80% for a long time, Interlocking Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring can still be used normally.
2. Can be used in special areas
- Its excellent waterproofness allows it to be safely installed in areas where water is easily accumulated, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. In the kitchen, there are often water stains caused by washing vegetables and dishes, and SPC floors can easily cope with them without being eroded by water. In the bathroom, even if water splashes on the ground during bathing, it will not cause damage to the floor.

(II) Stability

1. Small impact of temperature changes
- Interlocking Luxury Vinyl Plank Floorings are minimally affected by temperature changes. Whether in the cold northern winter or the hot southern summer, it can maintain good dimensional stability. It will not expand or contract when the temperature changes like some traditional floor materials. For example, in a room with a floor heating system, the Interlocking Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring will not deform due to heat and can adapt well to the environment.
2. No deformation during long-term use
- Due to its good waterproof performance and stable internal structure, the SPC floor will not deform during long-term use. This makes it last longer and reduces the trouble and cost of frequent floor replacement.

(III) Wear resistance

1. Surface wear layer protection
- The wear layer of SPC floor has a high hardness and can effectively resist daily wear and tear. This includes people walking around, furniture dragging, etc. For example, in places with large traffic such as shopping malls and offices, the wear layer of SPC floor can ensure that the surface of the floor remains smooth and flat after long-term use, without obvious scratches.

2. Long service life
- With its good wear resistance, the service life of Interlocking Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring is relatively long. Under normal circumstances, its service life can reach 10-20 years, depending on the use environment and maintenance.

(IV) Environmental protection

1. Raw material environmental protection
- The main raw materials of Interlocking Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring are PVC and calcium carbonate, which are non-toxic and harmless. During the production process, it does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, and will not have an adverse effect on indoor air quality, meeting environmental protection requirements.

2. Recyclable
- Interlocking Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring is a sustainable material. After its service life ends, it can be recycled and reused, reducing the pressure on the environment and conforming to modern environmental protection concepts.
