– Use installation tools (such as a rubber hammer and installation blocks) to ensure the seams between the floor tiles are closely fitted.
– Use a specific installation method (such as snap-lock, adhesive, or dry adhesion) to install the floor to the ground.
5. Cutting and trimming:
– If necessary, use a saw or cutting tool to adjust the floor to fit the shape of the room edges and obstacles.
– At the door or other places, use transition strips or decorative strips to cover the transitions between the floors.Frequently FAQ
FAQ
1. What are the benefts of LVT flooring ?
LVT flooring has various styles, and the imitation materials are exquisitely made and lifelike, such as wood grain, stone grain, brick grain and other natural and non-repetitive textures.
1) Green and environmentally friendly, formaldehyde-free
The main raw material of LVT flooring is luxury vinyl resin, which is natural and environmentally friendly, 100% free of formaldehyde, lead, benzene, heavy metals and carcinogens, no soluble volatiles, and no radiation.
2) Waterproof, moisture-proof, anti-slip, antibacterial and mildew-proof LVT’s main raw material ethylene has no water affinity and will not mold in a humid environment; the wear-resistant layer has special anti-slip properties, and it will become astringent when
it comes into contact with water, and it is not easy to slip. The surface layer will have antibacterial and anti-fouling treatment, which can inhibit the reproduction of bacteria. It can be used
in most indoor spaces and has a wide range of applicability.
3) Good thermal conductivity, the first choice for floor heating, comfortable foot feel, and elastic LVT flooring has good heat dissipation and thermal conductivity, and floor heating conducts heat evenly and quickly, making it the first choice for floor heating. Moreover, LVT flooring is
very comfortable and elastic, which can disperse the pressure on the soles of the feet and can also recover elastically under the impact of heavy objects.
4) Super wear-resistant, flame-retardant, long service life, and wide range of applications
The surface has a transparent wear-resistant layer that has been processed by high technology, with a wear-resistant revolution of about 9000. Depending on the thickness of the wearresistant layer, it can be used for 10-50 years. The fire-retardant performance is also very good, it cannot spontaneously combust, and combustion does not produce toxic and harmful
gases, which is also very suitable for public spaces.
5) Fashionable colors, many styles, and three-dimensional scratches The colors of LVT floors are the latest popular fashion styles in the past two years. There are many colors to choose from, and there are three-dimensional scratches on the surface, which completely simulates solid wood floors.
6) Easy installation and maintenance The installation and maintenance of LVT floors are very convenient, without spending too much manpower and financial resources.
7) Fire-retardant The fire resistance index of qualified LVT floors can reach B1 level.
As LVT products become more mature, and the thickness of the specifications can be spliced with the square carpet without any gap, it can better meet the needs of more spaces.
2. What is the difference between LVT floor and SPC floor ?
Both LVT floor (Luxury Vinyl Tile) and SPC floor (Stone Plastic Composite) are a type of plastic floor, but there are some differences in their structure, composition and performance.
1. Structure and composition:
– LVT floor: LVT floor is usually composed of a multi-layer structure. The top is a protective layer, below it is a pattern layer and a PVC layer, and the bottom is a base layer. The pattern layer of LVT floor imitates natural materials such as wood grain and stone grain through printing technology.
– SPC floor: SPC floor is composed of stone plastic composite material. Its structure mainly includes stone plastic composite material layer, texture layer, UV coating and base layer.
2. Material composition:
– LVT floor: The PVC layer of LVT floor is mainly made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The pattern layer can use different types of printing technology and texture design to imitate natural materials such as wood and stone.
– SPC floor: The main component of SPC floor is stone plastic composite material, which is a mixture of stone powder, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other additives. This makes SPC flooring stronger, more stable and has a higher compression resistance.
3. Stability and durability:
– LVT flooring: Due to the construction and materials of LVT flooring, it is relatively soft and sensitive to unevenness of the ground. It is suitable for low to medium traffic areas and is suitable for family homes, commercial spaces and light commercial use.
– SPC flooring: SPC flooring is composed of stone plastic composite materials, so it has excellent stability and durability. It has good performance on uneven ground and is suitable for high traffic areas such as commercial offices, shopping malls and public places.
4. Comfort and sound absorption:
– LVT flooring: Due to the softer material of LVT flooring, it is softer when stepped on, providing a certain foot comfort. But it is relatively thin and has poor sound absorption performance.
– SPC flooring: SPC flooring is firmer and feels harder when stepped on due to its harder stone plastic composite material. However, SPC flooring has good sound absorption performance due to its dense structure, which helps to reduce noise transmission.
5. Waterproof:
– Both LVT and SPC floors have excellent waterproof properties. Their materials and structures enable them to resist moisture penetration and humid environments, making them ideal for use in wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
Summary: Both LVT and SPC floors are excellent choices for plastic flooring, and there are some differences in their structure, composition, and performance. LVT floors are more suitable for family homes and light commercial use, while SPC floors are more suitable for high-traffic commercial and public places. Which floor to choose depends on your needs, budget, and space requirements. No matter which floor you choose, they all provide durability, comfort, and beauty, adding comfort and style to your living space.
