In the field of modern building decoration materials, vinyl flooring has gradually become a popular choice for people due to its many advantages such as environmental friendliness, durability and beauty. The vinyl flooring family has a large number of members. Today, we will introduce in detail several important “members”, including homogeneous flooring, multi-heterogeneous flooring, and anti-static flooring. From appearance to performance, we will comprehensively showcase their unique charm.
Ⅰ.Homogeneous flooring: A practical type that is consistent inside and out
(1) Appearance features
The homogeneous flooring has the same pattern throughout from the surface to the bottom and from the top to the bottom. Its chemical properties and repairability are excellent. This structure ensures that even if the surface of the flooring gets worn during use, it will not affect the overall appearance.This floor is coated with UV layer, featuring extremely strong wear-resistance. It can effectively prevent water and oil-based stains from adhering, and requires no waxing for a lifetime, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
(2) Performance advantages
1. Superb wear resistance: The specially treated wear-resistant layer can withstand frequent stepping and friction, and will not wear out easily even in areas with a high volume of foot traffic, ensuring a long service life.
2.Excellent antibacterial property: Many homogeneous flooringsare added with silver ion antibacterial agents, which have been professionally certified to effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, keeping the floor clean and hygienic.
3.Easy to maintain: Due to its material properties, daily cleaning only requires the use of neutral detergent and a damp cloth. There is no need for waxing maintenance, which greatly reduces maintenance costs and workload.
(3) Applicable Scenarios
- Public places: corridors and wards in hospitals, classrooms and corridors in schools, workshops in factories, etc. These places have high requirements for the wear resistance, cleanliness and antibacterial properties of the floor. Homogeneous flooringcan well meet these demands.
- Commercial venues: Cultural places such as libraries and museums require a quiet and clean environment. The silent effect and easy cleaning of homogeneous flooringcan create a good atmosphere.
Ⅱ.Heterogeneous flooring: An all-round player with both excellent appearance and performance
(1) Appearance features
Heterogeneous flooring is formed by stacking 4 to 5 layers, including the UV layer, wear-resistant layer, printing layer, glass fiber layer, elastic foaming layer and base layer. This structure endows the floor with excellent dimensional stability, enabling it to remain flat in different environments.
(2) Performance advantages
- High simulation degree: With advanced production technology, heterogeneous flooringcan almost be indistinguishable from the real thing in appearance, meeting people’s pursuit of decorative effects of different materials, while also having the advantages of vinyl flooring.
- Comfortable foot feel: The elastic foam layer at the bottom provides the floor with excellent cushioning performance. When walking, the feet feel soft and comfortable, effectively reducing foot fatigue. It is especially suitable for spaces where the elderly and children can play.
(3) Applicable Scenarios
- Commercial Spaces: Chain coffee shops, Western restaurants and other leisure places can create a warm and comfortable atmosphere by using heterogeneous flooringwith wood grain imitation. For sports venues such as gyms and dance studios, choosing styles with good anti-slip performance can not only ensure safety but also be easy to clean.
- Home scene: Laying heterogeneous flooringwith a marble-like texture in the living room can enhance the grade and texture of the home. The bedroom adopts a faux wood floor style, bringing a warm and natural feeling and adding a comfortable atmosphere to the rest space.
Ⅲ. Anti-static Floor: The Caring Guardian of Electronic Devices
(1) Appearance features
The anti-static PVC flooring is produced with the addition of conductive agents, such as carbon powder or conductive fibers, to form a conductive layer. This conductive layer can effectively absorb and release static charges, reducing the accumulation and release of static electricity. The conductive material is stable carbon black, and the conductive network runs directly from the upper surface to the lower surface. This structure determines the permanent nature of the anti-static performance.
(2) Performance advantages
- Outstanding anti-static performance: It can quickly release static electricity, keep the accumulation of static electricity within a safe range, effectively protect electronic devices from static interference and damage, and ensure the normal operation of equipment in computer rooms, laboratories and other places.
- Good load-bearing capacity: The base material of anti-static flooring usually adopts high-strength materials, which can withstand large loads. Even when heavy equipment is placed on it, it is not easy to deform, ensuring the stability and safety of the floor.
- Fireproof and flame-retardant: Most anti-static floors meet the national fire protection standards and have excellent flame-retardant performance. In the event of a fire, they can delay the spread of the fire, buying time for personnel evacuation and rescue.
(3) Applicable Scenarios
- Electronic equipment rooms: such as data centers, server rooms, etc. These places are densely populated with electronic devices and have extremely high requirements for anti-static properties. Anti-static flooring is an indispensable floor material.
- Laboratory: Precision instruments in scientific research laboratories are highly sensitive to static electricity. Anti-static flooring can provide a stable working environment for experimental equipment and ensure the accuracy of experimental data.
- Communication Center: In communication sites such as telephone exchanges and communication base stations, the use of anti-static flooring can effectively prevent static electricity from interfering with communication equipment and ensure the stable transmission of communication signals.
