Not all flooring is suitable for DIY projects. This article will introduce you to the most suitable flooring for DIY projects!
 

An explanation about DIY?

The full name of DIY is Do It Yourself. Usually DIY products come with a series of matching information, such as materials, tools, etc. In addition, the instructions attached to the product are extremely detailed. No difficulties will arise in the DIY process. 

You can easily purchase accessories for DIY products in supermarkets. Therefore DIY products are just like general commodities. These DIY products are available almost everywhere.

What kind of flooring is suitable for DIY projects? 

If you are not a professional flooring installer. We always recommend choosing flooring for DIY projects that is easy to install. This will make it easier for you to install the floor. In a sense, the floor you lay may be more beautiful.

HAODIBAN will introduce to you two types of floors that are extremely suitable for DIY projects.

The first type: LVT floor 

Four common installation methods for LVT floors include Dry Back, Loose Lay, Click Lock, and Self-adhesive. 

Dry Back - Apply glue to the floor and then stick it to the floor.

Loose Lay - Just place the floor on the ground.

Click Lock - Install flooring with a click between the floors.

Self-adhesive - Tear off the paper on the back of the floor and stick it to the ground.

Certain differences exist between these four installation methods. But we never deny that these four installation methods are extremely simple.

To select a floor suitable for DIY projects, consider opting for LVT flooring. 

The HAODIBAN brand has a variety of LVT flooring designs and colors for customers to choose from. You can contact us at any time for a flooring catalogue.

Second type: SPC floor

Compared with LVT flooring, the common installation method of SPC flooring is: Click Lock. The main designs and colors currently produced by HAODIBAN include: wood grain, stone grain, and herringbone wood grain. Worth noting, the thinnest SPC floor we currently produce is 4.0MM. 

Why don't we produce 3.5MM, 3.0MM or even thinner ones?
According to our experience, SPC flooring with thickness less than 4.0MM. Their latches break easily. SPC floors with a thickness greater than or equal to 4.0MM have harder locks.

By the way, it’s not just the thickness of the floor that affects the quality of the latch. The raw material of the floor will also affect the lock. The quality of the SPC floor locks produced by the factory using VIRGIN MATERIAL will be better! 

To select a floor suitable for DIY projects, consider opting for SPC flooring.

 

Below are some scene pictures of SPC flooring products. If you desire more information on colors. You can contact us at any time for a flooring catalogue.

Because of the difference in ingredients, the overall softness and hardness of these two floors are different. What we should note is that the different installation methods of LVT flooring have different floor thickness ranges!
