Many customers do not know the difference between these floors and PVC plastic floors.
Next, I will introduce it to you, try not to use technical terms, and be easy to understand.

If you want to clarify what LVT, SPC, andWpc Flooringare, you have to start with PVC flooring. Some encyclopedia explanations introduce PVC flooring as follows: a new type of lightweight floor decoration material that is very popular in the world today, also known as "lightweight flooring". "PVC flooring" refers to flooring made of polyvinyl chloride material. Specifically, polyvinyl chloride and its copolymer resin are used as the main raw materials, fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, colorants and other auxiliary materials are added to the sheet continuous substrate through the coating process or calendering, extrusion or extrusion process.
The so-called PVC flooring, commonly known as plastic flooring, is a large category of names, where the use of polyvinyl chloride as raw materials to manufacture the floor, can be roughly called PVC flooring, LVT, SPC, WPC These new floors, in fact, also belong to the PVC flooring category, they just add different other materials, so it forms an independent subcategory.
The main components of PVC flooring include PVC powder, stone powder, plasticizers, stabilizers, and carbon black. These raw materials are very widely used industrial raw materials, and their environmental safety has been proven for many years.
Advantages: fireproof and flame retardant, wear-resistant, anti-slip
LVT flooring, bendable elastic flooring, professionally expressed as "semi-rigid sheet plastic flooring", they can even be bent into rolls, which used to be mainly used for tooling projects, because it has relatively high requirements for the floor and needs professionals to lay, so from the cost considerations, it is usually only suitable for large-area laying. Of course, for rental houses or offices that do not require much flatness, this kind of flooring is both beautiful and affordable. The recognized advantages of LVT flooring are: cheap, environmentally friendly, wear-resistant, elastic and impact-resistant, waterproof and flame-retardant, waterproof and moisture-proof, and easy to maintain. This type of flooring is often laid in schools, kindergartens, playhouses, and is also used in family children's rooms.

Spc Flooring, known as stone plastic flooring, or plastic stone flooring, SPC flooring is called RVP flooring.
