Today I will take you to know about LVT flooring

LVT flooring, also known as "lightweight flooring", refers to flooring made of polyvinyl chloride materials. Specifically, polyvinyl chloride and its copolymer resin are used as the main raw materials, fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, colorants and other auxiliary materials are added to the sheet continuous substrate and produced by coating process or calendering, extrusion or extrusion process.

 What are the classifications of LVT flooring?

1. One is the same pattern material from the bottom to the surface of the homogeneous and transparent floor, if the surface is burned or scratched, it can be repaired with a grinding machine waxing. The other is that the top layer is a pure LVTtransparent layer and then add a printing layer and a foam layer below, which shows that the same quality transparent material is much superior to the composite type.
2. From the perspective of form, it is divided into coil floor and sheet floor; The products highlighted in this article: LVT, WPC flooring belongs to semi-rigid sheet plastic flooring, and SPC (RVP) flooring belongs to rigid sheet flooring. At present, there are three main types of LVT flooring: vinyl locking, dry back, loose lay, and from another point of view, PVC flooring can be divided into ordinary, locked, and glue-free according to the assembly method. At the same time, WPC WPC decking and SPC WPC flooring are also in the active promotion and rapid development stage in the domestic and foreign markets.                                                            

   Advantages and disadvantages of LVTflooring

   1. Green and environmental protection

   The main raw material for the production of LVT flooring is polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl chloride is an environmentally friendly and non-toxic renewable resource, which has long been used in people's daily life, such as tableware, medical infusion tube bags, etc., and its environmental protection is not to worry.

   2. Super wear-resistant

   There is a special LVT wear-resistant layer on the surface of LVT flooring, and its wear-resistant rotation can reach 300,000 rpm. According to the different wear-resistant thickness can be used for 5-10 years under normal circumstances, the thickness and quality of the wear-resistant layer directly determine the use time of LVT flooring, the standard test results show that the 0.55mm thick wear-resistant layer can be used for more than 5 years under normal circumstances, and the 0.7mm thick wear-resistant layer ground is enough to be used for more than 10 years, so it is super wear-resistant. Because of its super wear resistance, LVT flooring is becoming more and more popular in hospitals, schools, office buildings, shopping malls, supermarkets, transportation and other places with large foot traffic. (For the wear resistance of the wear-resistant layer, at present, it is mainly used as an indicator by measuring the loss, that is, the quality reduction)

   3. High elasticity and super impact resistance

   LVT flooring has a soft texture so the elasticity is very good, and it has a good elastic recovery under the impact of heavy objects, and at the same time, LVT flooring has strong impact resistance, and has a strong elastic recovery for heavy impact damage, which will not cause damage. The latest research data shows that the rate of falls and injuries caused by the installation of excellent LVT flooring in high-traffic spaces is nearly 70% less than that of other floors.

   4. Waterproof and moisture-proof

   Because the main ingredient ofLVT flooring is vinyl resin, it has no affinity with water, so it is naturally not afraid of water, as long as it is not soaked for a long time, it will not be damaged; And it will not mildew due to high humidity.
