Plastic flooring, as a new type of floor decoration material widely used globally, performs exceptionally well in hospitals, schools, commercial spaces, and residential environments. So, what exactly is plastic flooring? What advantages and considerations does it offer? Hebei Jucheng Plastic Co., Ltd. will provide a systematic introduction to this product to help you make an informed decision.
Plastic flooring, often referred to as PVC flooring, is a type of floor material primarily made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Structurally, it can be divided into two categories:
Homogeneous Type: The entire layer has a uniform composition and pattern from top to bottom, offering strong wear resistance.
Multilayer Composite Type: Typically consists of multiple layers, including a wear-resistant layer, printed design layer, and foam cushioning layer, providing rich patterns and enhanced comfort underfoot.
Plastic flooring not only offers diverse patterns and vibrant colors but also highly replicates the natural textures of wood and stone, meeting the personalized decoration needs of different users.
Outstanding Decorative Effects
Plastic flooring boasts a wide range of colors and textures, with strong visual appeal. It allows for personalized installation and maintains its color without fading over time.
Easy and Quick Installation
The installation process does not require cement or mortar. It typically uses click-lock or self-adhesive methods, resulting in a short construction period. The floor can be used within 24 hours after installation.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
It offers excellent stain resistance, waterproofing, and chemical corrosion resistance. Daily cleaning only requires wet mopping, significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Eco-Friendly and Renewable
As a recyclable flooring material, plastic flooring aligns with green building concepts. High-quality products comply with national environmental certifications, are non-toxic, and suitable for spaces with high health requirements.
Good Fire Resistance
High-quality plastic flooring can achieve a B1 fire resistance rating, making it a flame-retardant material that self-extinguishes when removed from fire and does not produce lethal toxic gases when burned.
Comfortable and Quiet Underfoot
Composite plastic flooring, in particular, offers elasticity, providing a soft and comfortable walking experience while also offering sound absorption and noise reduction.
Despite its excellent performance, the following points should be noted during practical use:
High Requirements for Subfloor: The subfloor must be flat, dry, and free of cracks; otherwise, it may affect the installation quality and lifespan.
Limited Scratch Resistance: While it offers certain wear resistance, sharp objects should be avoided to prevent scratches. Protective measures are recommended when moving furniture.
Moderate Heat Resistance: Direct contact with high-temperature objects (e.g., cigarette butts, heating appliances) should be avoided to prevent localized burns or deformation.
Type Selection Requires Careful Consideration: Homogeneous types are more wear-resistant but harder underfoot, while composite types are softer and more suitable for homes, children's areas, etc.
We recommend users choose the appropriate product type based on actual usage scenarios:
High-traffic areas (e.g., shopping malls, hospitals, schools) should prioritize homogeneous or high-wear-resistant composite types.
Spaces emphasizing comfort, such as living rooms, bedrooms, and children's rooms, are better suited for multilayer foam composite types.
For underfloor heating environments, specialized heat-resistant series products should be selected.
