Construction of water-resistant imitation wood plastic floor
Water-resistant faux Laminate flooring what you are looking for is none other than the product of the plastic floor lock. Since there is no need to use glue during the installation process (glue adhesion can be reduced if exposed to too much water), the floor's water resistance is 100%. This type of floor has 4 layers as follows:
SPC đế sole layer
The base layer of the floor is manufactured from a mixture of virgin pvc and stone powder (stone plastic composite). The durable and sturdy material makes the water-resistant plastic wood floor still have good bearing capacity with only a thickness of 3-5 mm.
To eliminate the need to install foam when installing, you can look to plastic flooring with IXPE lining. This is a lining made of polyethylene plastic with low thermal conductivity, increasing the thermal insulation of the floor. The lining also makes walking on the floor smoother and better against noise, improving your living space.
Wood grain paper
The layer of wood grain paper on the water-resistant plastic floor is extremely attractive. True color, delicate wood grain, no one can expect that the "wooden floor" surface as shown in the illustration below is made of plastic material, right?
Nano anti-scratch layer
Face wood grain plastic floor Waterproof not easily scratched by 0.3mm thick anti-scratch nano layer. We can freely run and jump, move on the floor without worrying about making the floor worse after a long time of use.
Note: The floor is not resistant to scratches from sharp objects. Do not drag heavy objects on the floor and absolutely do not scrub the floor with a brush.
Anti-fading layer due to UV
The decorative finish of water-resistant vinyl flooring is at risk of fading due to UV rays (ultraviolet rays present in the sun). Therefore, we can only install the floor in the interior space. However, to protect the color of the floor as best as possible, the manufacturer has covered the floor with a layer of UV protection.
Lock button
The appearance of the lock has brought the title of "waterproof wood plastic floor" to this product. Flooring is installed "floating" on the floor, not fixed to the floor with glue. The boards are closely linked together into a unified floor by a smart yin-yang coupling system right on the edge of the board.
