SPC Flooring is Coming for You?

SPC stone plastic flooring has been popular in foreign countries such as the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc. for decades, and has basically replaced laminate flooring. However, in China, stone plastic flooring is still an emerging product. In recent years, the export volume of stone plastic flooring has been growing at a rate of 20% per year, and the domestic sales volume has been growing steadily at a rate of 10%.
But many people still don't know much about stone plastic flooring. What are the advantages of stone plastic flooring? Why is stone plastic flooring becoming more and more popular? If you are not clear about stone plastic flooring and plan to buy it, you can learn about the advantages of stone plastic flooring in advance.
I. What is stone plastic flooring?
Stone plastic flooring, also known as SPC flooring, is a product that is heated, laminated and embossed in one go. It has high technological requirements and the lamination is completed by heat without the need for glue.
II. Differences and advantages between stone plastic flooring and wood flooring:
Natural and environmentally friendly: Wood, the raw material of wood flooring, is an increasingly scarce resource, and the regeneration of wood is a long process. The raw materials of stone plastic flooring are all by-products generated during the petroleum extraction process. They are not only naturally pollution-free but also enable the reuse of these materials.
Convenient installation: Due to the limitations of raw materials, wood flooring can only be made into sheets and installed one by one, which takes a long time. Stone plastic flooring can be directly paved on marble, ceramic tiles, terrazzo and other floors without removing the original floor, making it an ideal material for old floor renovation.
High-quality raw materials: The material properties of cement, glue and wood itself determine that the joints of wood flooring are prone to cracking or bulging when affected by thermal expansion and contraction. Stone plastic flooring not only has better overall aesthetics but also is not easy to deform and has high wear resistance.
III. Why is SPC flooring becoming more and more popular?
Mildew-proof and moisture-proof: SPC flooring is mainly composed of vinyl resin, which has no affinity with water. It becomes more non-slip when exposed to water, and will not crack, expand, deform or get moldy due to high humidity.
Fire-proof and insect-proof: SPC flooring is a composite flooring material made by mixing calcium powder and polyvinyl chloride stabilizer in a certain proportion. It is effectively flame-retardant, reaching fire rating B1. It self-extinguishes when exposed to fire and does not produce any toxic gases.
Formaldehyde-free, no need for maintenance, and simple installation: SPC flooring contains no benzene or formaldehyde, can be recycled, and is environmentally friendly and fashionable. Daily cleaning only requires wiping with clean water, which is easy to clean and saves later maintenance costs. There is no need to install keels or add cement and sand, which saves installation time and costs. It can be directly paved on marble, ceramic tiles, terrazzo and other floors without removing the original floor, making it an ideal material for old floor renovation.
Wear-resistant and energy-saving: The surface of SPC flooring is covered with a 0.3mm/0.5mm thick special polymer material, which has high wear resistance, better than the thin transparent film on laminate flooring or the glaze on ceramic tiles. SPC flooring has good sound absorption effect, fast heat transfer and good heat preservation, saving up to more than 30% of indoor energy.
Rich colors and patterns: The decorative film of SPC flooring adopts high-definition printing technology, which can fully show the warmth and softness of wood flooring, the simplicity and grade of ceramic tile flooring, and the grandeur and luxury of marble flooring. SPC flooring has a variety of styles and patterns, which can meet the needs of popular styles such as wood grain and stone grain that are loved by everyone.
