There are many types of home flooring. SPC flooring is a new type of flooring, also known as stone plastic flooring, in fact, its full name is stone plastic composite flooring. It is the use of calcium powder and thermoplastic polymer materials in the mix after uniform, high temperature extrusion to form a composite sheet. This kind of board is called SPC flooring because it has the performance and characteristics of wood and plastic, and realizes some characteristics of flooring. Then if we choose SPC flooring, we should really figure out the advantages and disadvantages of SPC flooring. In this article, it is going to focus on answering the advantages and disadvantages of SPC flooring to everyone.
(A): What are the advantages of SPC flooring?
The advantages of SPC flooring are actually mainly for the use in our family, and then some advantages compared with other types of flooring or floor tiles. In fact, these advantages are also based on the performance of SPC flooring. Because the main raw material of SPC is calcium powder, the production process is plasticized and extruded into sheet material. Therefore, SPC flooring generally has the following five advantages.
①、Excellent environmental performance. This is also a lot of friends need to consider before choosing the floor. spc flooring is environmentally friendly formaldehyde-free a new type of ground decorative materials, because spc flooring in the production process is not to use glue, like many materials in the formaldehyde is actually from the glue. So SPC flooring is no formaldehyde, benzene and other toxic and harmful substances. It can be said to be the real zero formaldehyde green products. This is really a great advantage compared with some laminate flooring.
②, SPC flooring has a very good waterproof and moisture-proof effect. Like when we lay wood flooring at home, we will consider the use of the environment. If especially wet, are afraid to lay wood flooring, but lay SPC flooring do not have to worry. Because the SPC floor has a very good waterproof effect, moisture-proof effect is also very good, and has mold and other characteristics. This solves some of our worries about the traditional wood flooring that is afraid of water and moisture. Therefore, SPC flooring can be used in a wider range of applications. For example, in our bathroom, kitchen, balcony are available to use SPC flooring.
③, SPC flooring’s anti-slip performance is excellent. Like when we choose the ground paving material, we will consider the characteristics of the ground material. For example, the bathroom floor must choose anti-slip material, anti-slip performance is particularly good material, for the living room is actually the same. As the surface of the SPC floor is the use of special wear-resistant layer processing, this wear-resistant layer has a very high anti-slip characteristics. And after the water will be more astringent, so after the water is also very good anti-slip effect. This will not worry about the water after a special slippery situation. Especially when there are old people and children at home, we should pay special attention to this point.
④, SPC flooring installation is very convenient. Like SPC flooring, now is basically the use of locking floor structure. This locking floor structure is through the floor around the mortise and tenon, in the installation of the way to bite each other to connect, so that the floor can be assembled into a whole structure. So in the installation, in fact, SPC flooring and traditional wood flooring compared to the installation method is the same, so that is the same will not cost a lot of labor.
⑤. Another characteristic of SPC flooring is that it has sound elimination and comfortable footing. This is also due to the characteristics of each layer of SPC flooring. Everyone can go to experience the SPC floor, its sound-deadening effect is very good. If we walk barefoot on it then the footboard will be very comfortable and give a feeling of elasticity. And even if you fall on it, you will not be injured. In addition, there is a point that the surface of SPC flooring does not need to be so carefully taken care of like wooden flooring, and it can be wiped very clean with a towel or a wet mop at ordinary times.
(II): What are the disadvantages of SPC flooring?
For SPC flooring, because it is a new type of flooring, so if we plan to choose, we really should also consider some of its disadvantages clearly. Because any kind of material actually has the corresponding disadvantages. Like SPC flooring flooring, I personally think that there are routinely the following disadvantages, we need to consider clearly when choosing.
①、Popularity is relatively poor, resulting in a more difficult choice. This is also one of the biggest problems that SPC flooring exists in the country. Like SPC flooring, it is really not popular in our country, and it is difficult to see in the market. In many areas there is also no special sales of SPC flooring. So we may not be able to choose when we choose. To put it bluntly, many of our families do not understand this kind of flooring, in fact, we can search the way to understand a little.
②, SPC flooring has a relatively single grain. This point is also a defect of SPC flooring, we can go to understand. Now the SPC flooring pattern is still relatively small, compared with our wood flooring does seem particularly single, which leads to our decoration, many families can not match the appropriate decoration style. In fact, to be frank, it is not able to better adapt to the home decoration.
③, SPC flooring although there is a very good fire retardant performance, but still afraid of hot. For example, the simplest point, if there is a cigarette on the ground, we can find that SPC flooring is not burning. But in this place appear yellowing traces. And there is no way to eliminate the traces of being scalded, yellowed and burned after, the only solution is to replace the whole floor. In fact, this is still very similar to the wooden floor.
④, there is no mature acceptance test standards, there is also no strict standard implementation of its manufacturing process, resulting in the emergence of poor quality SPC flooring floor in the market. And poor quality SPC flooring may emit a very unpleasant smell, toxic and harmful gases will appear to exceed the standard. This may cause the door indoor pollutants to exceed the standard if used in my indoor. This is also a problem that many friends worry about.
Conclusion
About the board of SPC flooring, in fact, also called stone plastic flooring. In this article, gave you the advantages and disadvantages of SPC flooring, in fact, it does have a lot of advantages, but the disadvantages are also very obvious. When you choose, you must consider it clearly. Because after all, this belongs to a new type of floor covering material, compared with our traditional wood flooring or tile is still a big difference. In addition, we need to pay attention to the floor has a coil floor, there is a sheet floor and other different categories, do not buy the wrong.
