SPC floor waterproof principle and performance:
Principle: 1. Main composition characteristics: SPC floor is mainly made of stone powder and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) through a specific process of thermoplastic molding. PVC itself has a certain waterproof, and stone powder as an inorganic filler does not absorb water.
2. Tight structure: SPC floor in the production process through high temperature and high pressure and other processes, making the overall structure of the floor tight, water is difficult to penetrate into the interior.
1. Surface waterproof: It can directly deal with a small amount of water caused by water splashing, mopping water, accidentally knocked over water cups, etc., and the water will not penetrate below the floor in a short time.
2. Splicing waterproof: SPC floor is usually connected with a lock, lock design is reasonable and tight, after the splicing installation, splicing can also effectively prevent water penetration.
Benefits of waterproofing:
1. For wet areas: bathrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, balconies and other wet and watery areas can rest assured that SPC floor can be laid, without worrying about deformation, warping, mildew and other problems like traditional wood floors due to moisture.
2. Basement: In the space with high humidity such as basement, SPC floor can maintain better stability and appearance.
1. Simple cleaning: Because it is waterproof, the mop can be cleaned with water slightly when cleaning, and there is no need to worry about water damage to the floor, which greatly reduces the difficulty of cleaning.
2. Reduce the growth of mildew bacteria: the surface is not easy to breed bacteria, mold, etc., which reduces the health hazards and damage to the appearance of the floor caused by floor mildew.
1. Cope with sudden water disasters: When encountering water accumulation caused by accidents such as pipeline rupture and flood, SPC floor can better maintain its own structural stability compared with other non-waterproof floors and reduce the risk of complete damage caused by water immersion.
2. Prolong the service life: Its waterproof characteristics avoid a series of damage caused by water, thereby indirectly extending the service life of the floor.
Compared with other floor waterproof performance: Compared with solid wood floor: solid wood floor is easy to absorb water and expand deformation, and SPC floor does not have this problem.
Compared with the laminate floor: although the laminate floor has a certain moisture-proof ability, long-term contact with water will also appear edge expansion and other phenomena, SPC floor waterproof performance is significantly better than laminate floor.
Compared with ordinary PVC floor (non-SPC structure) : SPC floor structure is more stable, and it is not easy to deform while waterproof, ordinary PVC floor may affect the waterproof effect due to temperature changes and other problems such as larger size changes.
However, it should be noted that: 1. Although SPC floor waterproof performance is superior, it is not appropriate to let the floor soak in water for a long time, such as in the case of long-term water and not clean up, water may slowly penetrate from the edge, splicing gaps, etc., to the base.
If the base is not completely waterproof, it will also cause some problems.
2. During installation, the construction details such as waterproof sealing treatment at the junction between the perimeter and the wall are also very important. If the treatment is not good, water may penetrate the space below the floor from the perimeter.
