What is the price of PVC floor and what are the advantages?
Nowadays, there are many decorative materials on the ground, such as: PVC floor, linen floor, rubber floor, floor leather, wood floor and so on. But PVC floor is a new type of light-body floor decoration material that is very popular in the world today, also known as "light-body floor material". PVC flooring is a popular product in the world. It has entered the domestic market since the early 1980s. It has been widely recognized in domestic cities and is widely used, such as homes, hospitals, schools, office buildings, factories, and public places. , supermarkets, commercial and various sports venues. PVC flooring is so popular, what are the advantages over other types of flooring? What is the price of PVC floor?
(1) Comparison of PVC floor and linen floor - although PVC floor and linen floor are both elastic floors, they are very different in terms of composition and production process, wear resistance and stability, ease of maintenance, and ease of installation:
1. Different ingredients and production processes: Flax flooring is made from a mixture of oxidized linseed oil, cork and wood powder, laminated onto a jute backing. The PVC floor is based on polyvinyl chloride and its copolymer resin as the main raw materials, adding fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, colorants and other auxiliary materials, on the continuous sheet-like substrate, through the coating process or calendering, extrusion. or extrusion process. From this point of view, the linen is made of pure natural linen, while the PVC floor is made of polyvinyl chloride, but it is also a green material.
2. There are differences in wear resistance and stability: the scratch resistance of flax floors is average, and the flax floors are hard and soft on the bottom, which is why the scratch resistance of thick flax floors is not very good, compared to PVC floors. better wear resistance. In addition, the dimensional stability of linen floor is general, so strong glue must be used. On the whole, the stability of linen floor is not as good as that of PVC floor.
3. There are differences in the difficulty of maintenance: the linen floor needs to be maintained under natural light, the sample and the real object will be different, yellowing, the resistance of the linen floor to maintenance products (PH>7) is poor, and the linen floor needs to be re-polished. , When waxing, special maintenance products must be used. Linen floors are much harder than PVC floors, but because the surface is porous, all stains must be removed quickly, or the surface will leave hard-to-remove marks and have to be refinished and waxed. Because it is not a thermoplastic material, it cannot be recycled, and the burn marks can be easily ground off, but for deeper burn marks, the through-core PVC floor is much easier to sand than the linen floor.
4. There are differences in the difficulty of installation: it is difficult to install flax floors. If the indoor temperature is too low, the flax floors will break. Due to its absorbent nature and dimensional instability, the product must be installed quickly with superglue. For example, in a day, an installation team can lay 80 to 100 square meters of PVC floor, which may only be able to lay 60 square meters of linen floor. Linseed oil is not sensitive to temperature and cannot be welded with electrodes of the same material, so it is not welding but a "joint", so the linseed floor cannot be classified as E3 waterproof, and the linseed floor is not suitable for wet rooms or clean rooms. required area. Linen floors emit a strong odor that lingers in the room where it is installed.
(2) Comparison of PVC floor and rubber floor - PVC floor and rubber floor are both elastic floors, and the composition, production process, design and color are different, installation difficulty, market demand and wear resistance are also very different:
1. The composition and production process are different: rubber flooring is divided into homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous rubber floor refers to the floor based on natural rubber or synthetic rubber, which is vulcanized in a single-layer or multi-layer structure with the same color and composition; non-homogeneous rubber floor refers to the floor based on natural rubber or synthetic rubber.
2. There are differences in colors: it is difficult to color rubber floors, because rubber has strong color absorption, so most of the colors of rubber floors are relatively single; while PVC floors have many colors, which can be combined arbitrarily, which can give designers more s Choice.
3. There are differences in the difficulty of installation: the PVC floor is lighter in texture, and the installation is convenient and quick; the rubber floor is heavy and the installation is more laborious. Moreover, the installation method of the rubber floor is more stringent. If the method is not correct, air bubbles will appear, and the requirements for the self-leveling foundation are more perfect, otherwise the defects of the base layer will be exaggerated.
4. There are differences in market demand and wear resistance: rubber flooring is only used in some high-end places due to its high price, and the scope is relatively narrow; while PVC flooring is widely used due to its high cost performance and has huge market potential. In addition, the rubber floor has stronger wear resistance, and is very suitable for places with large traffic such as airports and stations, as well as aircraft, trains, subways, cars, ships and other means of transportation.
(3) Comparison of PVC floor and plastic floor leather
Plastic floor leather and PVC floor are not the same product. Although some people refer to PVC floor as floor leather and plastic floor, they actually confuse the two kinds of floors.
Plastic floor (floor leather) is a very low-end product. The main component is plastic, which is afraid of fire, easy to age, and has a short service life.
(4) Comparison of PVC floor and wood floor - wood floor can be roughly divided into three categories: solid wood floor, solid wood composite floor and laminate floor.
Solid wood flooring is a natural material, with the irreplaceable advantages of synthetic materials, non-toxic and tasteless, comfortable feet, warm in winter and cool in summer. However, it also has disadvantages such as high price, large consumption of hardwood resources, large amount of laying and installation work, difficult maintenance (afraid of fire, water, and moisture), and large size changes in the width direction of the floor with changes in relative humidity.
The appearance of parquet floors has the same beautiful wood texture as solid wood floors, is dimensionally stable, and is easy to lay and maintain. However, it is still unable to get rid of the shortcomings of being afraid of fire, water, and moisture. It is not as environmentally friendly as PVC flooring, and its wear resistance is not as good as PVC flooring.
The base material of the laminate floor is medium density or high density fiberboard and particleboard, which has good dimensional stability. Good pollution resistance, which is relatively far from the superior wear resistance and pollution resistance of PVC floors compared to the first two.
So what is the price of PVC floor? Ask the price first. This is a common mistake that everyone makes in the buying process, often ignoring the importance of physical objects. Now on the market, there are countless brands and types; PVC floors also range from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars, and there are different prices. There are also factors of price, different thickness, different quality, different service life and different service commitments; it is recommended that you first ask for a sample of PVC floor during the inquiry process, and then report to the manufacturer according to the sample you have seen with your own eyes. Ask for the price and detailed parameter information of the product. "As the saying goes, you get what you get for every penny." If you don't see the product with your own eyes, how can you know whether the product is good or bad, and which product is more suitable for you.
Anything is good or bad. PVC flooring is no exception. When purchasing PVC flooring, you must consider the product quality and business services of PVC flooring, whether the product has environmental certification, quality certification and other certificates. With these certifications, you must consider the price.
