SPC floor afraid of fire afraid of heat? It's more stable than you think!
SPC flooring, the "tough guy" in the flooring industry, has won the favor of many families and shops with its rugged and durable characteristics. So, is it "afraid of fire and heat"? Although it is not absolutely "invulnerable", SPC floor is still quite "resistant" in terms of fire protection and heat protection. Let's explore its performance in a more relaxed and fun way!
1. No chaos in case of fire: SPC floor fire performance
SPC floor belongs to B1 class flame retardant material, popular point, that is, it is facing the fire attitude is: "I am not flammable, but don't bully me."
For example, if you accidentally drop your cigarette butt while smoking, don't worry, the SPC floor will not immediately burn into a ball of fire. At most, a small burn mark appears on the floor, and it will never become the "protagonist of the fire" in your home. Moreover, its fireproof characteristics make it effective in slowing the spread of fire in the event of a fire, and buying a "peace of mind insurance" is not a joke.
However, although the SPC floor is not afraid of small fire, but if you play matches on the floor, or put the hot pot directly on it, the floor may be "angry", and burn marks and scalding marks can be unavoidable.
2. Don't put the hot pot directly: The floor also has a "temper"
Although the SPC floor is not afraid of daily temperature difference changes, it is a little "afraid of hot". If you put an iron pot just out of the pot directly on the floor, the floor will not immediately shout "hot hot", but it may leave a little hot marks, and may even appear local deformation.
Its heat limit is around 80°C, and beyond that, it gets a little tough. Therefore, when using the floor heating system, maintaining the appropriate temperature is OK, but if the floor heating in your home is too "enthusiastic", you may need to pay attention to it - although the SPC floor will not strike because of the high temperature of the floor heating, but excessive heat may make it "stuffy" oh.
3. Direct sunlight: SPC floor "sun resistant" but don't challenge it too much
SPC floor in the sun performance is quite good, it is not as easy as wood flooring because of the sun is cracked. However, if your home has the kind of all-weather exposure to the floor-to-ceiling Windows, SPC floor in long-term ultraviolet "close contact", the color may gradually fade, as if to say: "I am really tired."
Therefore, it is recommended that you still occasionally give the floor to some "sun protection measures" - such as pulling a curtain or installing a shade curtain, which can extend the color life of the floor, so that it can maintain the "bright as new" temperament.
Conclusion: Is SPC floor afraid of fire and heat?
To sum up, the SPC floor is not afraid of fire, and the occasional small fire is not a threat to it. In the face of sunlight and floor heating, these daily heat sources, SPC floor can still be "stable as Taishan". However, it is not "Superman" after all, if it is exposed to a high temperature environment for a long time, or direct contact with ultra-high temperature objects, it may be "injured".
So, remember: although SPC floor is very "resistant", but also to avoid using it to test the power of hot pot, sunlight and high temperature equipment!
