Is the thicker the PVC flooring, the longer the service life?

Many people fall into a misunderstanding when choosing PVC flooring, that is, they think that the thicker the PVC flooring, the longer the flooring service life, which forms a fixed thinking.

 This idea is not correct, the service life of the PVC floor is not necessarily related to the thickness.

 When the PVC floor is in use, the structural layer that directly contacts and is worn is called wear-resistant layer in the PVC floor. Generally, the wear-resistant layer can be used for longer time , and the flooring service life will be longer.

The specific service life of PVC plastic floor should also be judged according to the actual application of natural environment.

 

 1. Types of PVC flooring

 From the nature of use, the flooring grade are divided into civil use , commercial use, and special grade.

 2. Forming process

 In the production process, there are composite PVC floors &heterogeneous vinyl made of multi-layer structures, and whole shaped technology homogeneous PVC floors. The homogeneous type is more wear-resistant and has a longer service life.

 

 3. Paving process

 Many consumers do not pay attention to the quality of construction. In fact, many merchants and construction teams also do not pay attention to it, and simply do this work. As the saying goes, three points for a product and seven points for construction. The key to the overall effect after the PVC plastic floor is paved is the quality of the construction. The self-leveling construction during construction is also very important. Many customers are unwilling to carry out self-leveling and leveling for saving costs, and require to lay directly on the original ground. There are also many businesses who do not provide self-leveling and leveling in order to save construction costs. The self-leveling construction must be done in strict accordance with the construction process, otherwise the PVC plastic floor will be prone to uneven effects after paving.

4. Paving place

 First of all, the most influential factor is the flow of people. The greater the flow of people, the faster the wear and the shorter the service life. Correspondingly, if it is used in a warehouse, the aisle where there are often forklifts will wear faster than the storage area, and the service life will be shorter.It is recommended to use homogeneous transparent PVC flooring in places with a large flow of people
