When it comes to PVC flooring and floor leather, many people think that they are the same product. If you don't look closely, the two are quite similar, but if you look closely, the difference between the two is quite big. Today, I mainly talk to you about the difference between PVC flooring and floor leather.

※ Structure

PVC coiled floor is divided into two types: homogeneous and transparent core and composite structure. The composite structure includes a printing layer, a wear-resistant layer, a reinforcing layer and a glass fiber layer. Therefore, other derivative products such as SPC and LVT have also appeared. The structure of the floor leather only has two parts: the printing layer and the back bottom layer.

※ Wear resistance

Generally speaking, the PVC membrane floor of composite structure is divided into household, commercial and industrial grades. The period of use generally ranges from 5 to 15 years. The PVC floor with transparent structure is divided into two grades: P grade and T grade. They have a longer service life, generally around 8 to 20 years. The daily maintenance and maintenance of floor leather is very important. Even so, the service life is generally only maintained for a few months to a year.

※ Thickness

The thickness of floor leather is relatively thin, generally only about 1mm. The thickness of PVC floor is relatively thicker. The thickness of commercial PVC floor is generally between 1.6mm-3mm. The sports PVC floor is thicker, with 3.5mm, 4.5mm, 6mm and so on. The thickness can reach ten millimeters. From the thickness, it will be easier to distinguish floor leather and PVC floor.

※ Performance

The PVC floor has undergone UV, coating and other treatments, and generally does not require special waxing and maintenance. Strong anti-fouling, anti-static fire. However, the floor leather has no anti-fouling properties, is prone to static electricity and is not fireproof.

※ Environmental friendly

The issue of formaldehyde is a commonplace topic. Floor decoration
materials are closely related to people's lives. The green environmental protection characteristics of floor decoration materials are what people value most. Floor leather is much worse than PVC floor in terms of environmental protection. The main raw material of PVC floor is polyvinyl chloride, which is a green environmental protection material.

※ Scenes to be used

There are many usage scenarios for PVC floors. Such as hospitals, schools, offices, etc. Home can also be used. However, due to the short service life of floor leather, it can only be used for temporary laying or warehouse in rented houses.
