If you are hesitating between choosing PVC floor or ceramic tile at this moment, I believe this short article can give you the answer.
First of all, you can briefly understand the ceramic tile.
Ceramic tile is a kind of refractory metal oxide and semimetal oxide, which undergoes grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing, and sintering processes during production, and finally forms an acid and alkali-resistant porcelain or stone, etc. , used in construction or decorative materials, this substance is called ceramic tiles. Its raw materials are mostly made of clay, quartz sand, compressed after high temperature, etc., and have high hardness.
◎Ingredients and Production Process
According to the description of ceramic tiles above, it can be known that the main raw materials of ceramic tiles are mostly made of clay, quartz sand, etc. The production process consists of grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing, and sintering. The composition and production process of ceramic tiles are quite different from PVC flooring. The main raw material of PVC flooring is polyvinyl chloride. No glue is added in the production process, and high temperature is used to achieve lamination.
◎Performance and Maintenance
The ceramic tiles are not slip-resistant and the texture is cold, and there are generally gaps in the ceramic tile floor, which may give space for bacteria to grow to a certain extent, while the PVC floor has anti-slip and antibacterial properties; the ceramic tiles are also troublesome to maintain, and they are very easy to get dirty. PVC floor maintenance is relatively simple.
◎Installation
The weight of the ceramic tiles is large, the installation is more laborious, and it is difficult to remove after installation, so that it cannot be reused. The PVC floor is relatively light in texture, and the installation is relatively simple. It can be installed directly on the original ground, but to a certain extent, the flatness of PVC below the ground still has certain requirements. PVC installation will be relatively simple.
In addition,ceramic tile floor is relatively hard and the PVC floor is a resilient floor, and the PVC floor product has a certain resilience.
