EspañolWaterproof power: Advantages and application scenarios of Waterproof Vinyl Flooring
Among modern home decoration and commercial space floor materials, Waterproof Vinyl Flooring has quickly become the new favorite in the floor material industry with its excellent waterproof performance, durability and rich design options. Whether it is a kitchen, bathroom, basement or a commercial space with high traffic, Waterproof Vinyl Flooring has won the market favor with its comprehensive performance.
What is Waterproof Vinyl Flooring?
Waterproof Vinyl Flooring is a multi-layer composite floor, mainly composed of the following layers:
UV coating: the surface increases the ability to resist wear, stain and UV;
Wear layer (Wear Layer): directly bears the wear of footsteps and furniture, and determines the service life of the floor;
Printed decorative layer: simulates wood grain, marble, tiles and other patterns to provide a rich appearance;
Vinyl core (Vinyl Core): mainly composed of PVC or stone plastic composite materials, providing stability and waterproof performance of the floor;
Underlayment/Backing: improves comfort and quietness, while enhancing moisture resistance.
Among them, waterproof vinyl flooring can be further divided into two types: WPC (wood plastic composite) and SPC (stone plastic composite). The latter is more outstanding in stability and waterproof ability.
Why choose Waterproof Vinyl Flooring?
1. 100% waterproof, worry-free application in wet areas
Compared with traditional wooden floors and laminate floors, waterproof vinyl flooring is naturally waterproof. Even if it is exposed to water for a long time, it will not arch or swell. It is suitable for high humidity areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements.
2. High wear resistance, adapt to high traffic environment
The high-quality Wear Layer gives it superior scratch resistance and is suitable for high traffic spaces such as residences, shopping malls, and offices. SPC-type flooring also has stronger indentation resistance and is not easily impressed by furniture.
3. Easy installation, suitable for a variety of floors
It is mostly installed with a lock-type Click system. Users can install it by themselves without glue or nails. It is suitable for a variety of bases such as tiles, cement, and self-leveling. At the same time, some products come with a silent pad, saving the cost of laying additional sound insulation pads.
4. Beautiful and diverse, comparable to natural materials
Using high-definition printing technology, the decorative layer can simulate realistic natural wood grain, marble grain, cement grain and other patterns. Consumers can enjoy the visual experience of natural texture without having to bear the expensive and difficult maintenance costs of natural materials.
5. Low maintenance cost, easy daily cleaning
Just use a vacuum cleaner or a slightly damp mop to clean regularly, no waxing and polishing, no fear of splashing water and oil stains, very suitable for home and commercial users in a fast-paced life.
The difference between WPC and SPC flooring: Selection reference guide
| Compare Projects | WPC Flooring (Wood Plastic) | SPC floor (Stone Plastic) |
| Density and weight | Relatively light | High density, heavier and stronger |
| Foot comfort | Softer, warmer feel | Harder and more impact-resistant |
| Waterproof | excellent | Excellent (more resistant to water) |
| Coefficient of thermal expansion | Slightly larger | Lower, more stable |
| Applicable scenarios | Mostly for home use | More common in commercial and industrial applications |
When purchasing, it is recommended to choose according to the use attributes of the space: WPC is recommended for home use, and SPC is more recommended for commercial or floor heating environments.
Market trend: Environmental protection, technology, and personalization go hand in hand
As consumers pay more attention to home environmental protection, more and more Waterproof Vinyl Flooring products begin to use phthalate-free and formaldehyde-free formulas, which meet the environmental certification standards of Europe and the United States REACH, FloorScore, etc., and become the preferred materials for green home decoration.
At the same time, the addition of intelligent manufacturing technology has also promoted the continuous upgrading of products. For example, new functions such as self-repairing surface layer, anti-slip nanotechnology, and antibacterial coating are emerging in an endless stream. Personalized demands drive the rise of "customized flooring", which can be customized on demand from patterns, specifications to corner treatment methods to meet users' dual demands for aesthetics and functionality.
Waterproof Vinyl Flooring is not just a piece of flooring, but also a solution to multiple challenges such as humid environments, high-frequency use, and aesthetic evolution.
