When choosing SPC flooring and vinyl flooring, we need to consider their respective characteristics and application scenarios. Below I will compare the two flooring types in several key ways to gain a clearer understanding of their strengths and limitations.
**SPC Floor (Stone Plastic Composite, stone Plastic Composite) **
1. ** Advantages ** :
- ** Excellent material performance ** : SPC floor is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and stone powder, with excellent wear resistance, high elasticity and impact resistance. Wear coefficient up to 6000-8000 RPM, suitable for long-term use.
- ** Convenient construction ** : With a unique locking design, there is no need to use glue when installing, and it can be connected directly through the inverted tenon around the floor, simplifying the construction process.
- ** High environmental protection ** : SPC floor is made of green environmental protection materials, does not contain harmful substances, in line with national environmental standards. In the installation process, there is no need to use glue and other chemicals, which further reduces the pollution to the environment.
- ** Wide range of application ** : SPC floor is suitable for a variety of places, including families, hospitals, schools, offices, shopping malls, etc.
2. ** Disadvantages ** :
- ** Hardness is too high ** : The high hardness of SPC floor may cause the feet to feel relatively hard and lack the warmth and softness of solid wood floor.
- ** Temperature sensitivity ** : More sensitive to temperature changes, in the encounter of extreme high or low temperatures, slight deformation may occur.
** Limited diversity ** : Although the SPC floor is diversified in color and texture, compared with natural materials such as solid wood flooring and stone, the natural beauty and diversity of its expression still have certain limitations.
** Vinyl flooring **
Usually referred to as vinyl flooring refers to the floor made of ethylene as a raw material, including PVC flooring. Due to the wide variety of vinyl flooring, the following PVC flooring as an example for comparison.
1. ** Advantages ** :
- ** Waterproof and non-slip ** : The surface is treated by special process, with excellent waterproof and non-slip performance.
- ** Wear-resistant and durable ** : with a wear-resistant layer design, with high wear resistance and durability.
- ** Environmental safety ** : Made of environmentally friendly materials, no harmful substances. At the same time, the pressure sensitive adhesive on the back of the floor is completely volatilized with the ground, and no harmful gases are generated.
- ** Simple construction ** : comes with adhesive, can be directly pasted on the ground, easy to install.
2. ** Disadvantages ** :
- ** Relatively low wear resistance ** : Compared with SPC floor, the wear resistance of PVC floor may be slightly inferior.
- ** High requirements for the ground smoothness ** : If the ground is uneven, it may affect the installation effect and beauty of the PVC floor.
** Summary ** :
** *SPC floor ** is more suitable for places requiring high wear resistance, environmental protection and wide applicability, such as shopping malls, offices, etc. Its unique latch design and excellent material properties make it ideal for these venues.
** * Vinyl flooring ** (such as PVC flooring) is more suitable for families, hospitals and other places that need waterproof, anti-slip and environmental performance. Its simple construction, environmental protection and safety characteristics make it the preferred material for these sites.
In the selection, should be based on the specific use of places and needs for comprehensive consideration, choose the most suitable for their own floor materials.
