[edit] What is stone plastic composite flooring?
Stone plastic composite flooring, also called stone plastic composite flooring or SPC flooring is a new type of flooring. It uses calcium powder and thermoplastic polymer materials in the mix after uniform, high temperature extrusion to form a composite sheet. This kind of board is called SPC flooring because it has the performance and characteristics of wood and plastic, and realises some characteristics of flooring. Then if we choose SPC flooring, we should really figure out the advantages and disadvantages of SPC flooring. In this article, it is going to focus on answering the advantages of SPC flooring to everyone.
[edit] What are the advantages of SPC flooring?
The advantages of SPC flooring are actually mainly for the use in our family, and then some advantages compared with other types of flooring or floor tiles. In fact, these advantages are also based on the performance of SPC flooring. Because the main raw material of SPC is calcium powder, the production process is plasticised and extruded into sheet material. Therefore, SPC flooring generally has the following five advantages.
[edit] Excellent environmental performance
This is also a lot of friends need to consider before choosing the floor. spc flooring is environmentally friendly formaldehyde-free a new type of ground decorative materials, because spc flooring in the production process is not to use glue, like many materials in the formaldehyde is actually from the glue. So SPC flooring is no formaldehyde, benzene and other toxic and harmful substances. It can be said to be the real zero formaldehyde green products. This is really a great advantage compared with some laminate flooring.
[edit] Moisture resistant
SPC flooring has a very good waterproof and moisture-proof effect. Like when we lay wood flooring at home, we will consider the use of the environment. If especially wet, are afraid to lay wood flooring, but lay SPC flooring do not have to worry. Because the SPC floor has a very good waterproof effect, moisture-proof effect is also very good, and has mold and other characteristics. This solves some of our worries about the traditional wood flooring that is afraid of water and moisture. Therefore, SPC flooring can be used in a wider range of applications. For example, in our bathroom, kitchen, balcony are available to use SPC flooring.
[edit] Anti-slip performance
SPC flooring’s anti-slip performance is excellent. Like when we choose the ground paving material, we will consider the characteristics of the ground material. For example, the bathroom floor must choose anti-slip material, anti-slip performance is particularly good material, for the living room is actually the same. As the surface of the SPC floor is the use of special wear-resistant layer processing, this wear-resistant layer has a very high anti-slip characteristics. And after the water will be more astringent, so after the water is also very good anti-slip effect. This will not worry about the water after a special slippery situation. Especially when there are old people and children at home, we should pay special attention to this point.
[edit] Interlocking
SPC flooring installation is very convenient. Like SPC flooring, now is basically the use of locking floor structure. This locking floor structure is through the floor around the mortise and tenon, in the installation of the way to bite each other to connect, so that the floor can be assembled into a whole structure. So in the installation, in fact, SPC flooring and traditional wood flooring compared to the installation method is the same, so that is the same will not cost a lot of labor.
[edit] Comfort
Another characteristic of SPC flooring is that it has sound elimination and comfortable footing. This is also due to the characteristics of each layer of SPC flooring. Everyone can go to experience the SPC floor, its sound-deadening effect is very good. If we walk barefoot on it then the footboard will be very comfortable and give a feeling of elasticity. And even if you fall on it, you will not be injured. In addition, there is a point that the surface of SPC flooring does not need to be so carefully taken care of like wooden flooring, and it can be wiped very clean with a towel or a wet mop at ordinary times.
[edit] Conclusion
The advantages of SPC flooring include its excellent environmental performance, as it is formaldehyde-free and does not contain toxic substances, its strong waterproof and moisture-proof properties, making it suitable for use in areas such as the bathroom, kitchen, and balcony, its excellent anti-slip performance, especially important for households with children or elderly individuals, its convenient installation using a locking floor structure, and its sound elimination and comfortable footing properties. SPC flooring is easy to clean with a towel or wet mop, making it a practical choice for many households.
