7 general advantages of plastic floors are:
- Waterproof.
- Anti-termite.
- Anti-slip.
- Anti-fire spread.
- Cheap.
- Many models.
- Long service life.
Waterproof
Plastic floors have excellent water resistance because the main component of the product is plastic, suitable for installation in environments with high humidity.
Anti termite
The floor is made from PVC, does not contain cellulose - the favorite food source of termites. Therefore, it is absolutely resistant to termites, ensuring a long life.
Anti-slip
The floor surface is designed with a certain roughness, helping to prevent slipping, especially when exposed to water. This is very important for families with young children or the elderly, limiting the risk of falling.
Anti-fire spread
Plastic floors are less flammable than natural wood floors, which helps increase home safety in case of fire.
Cheap
Plastic floors are cheap, which helps users save on construction and floor maintenance costs.
For example:
- Natural wood floors cost from 600.000 to 3.00.000 VND/m².
- Wood-imitation plastic floors cost from 85.000 to 390.000 VND/m².
Many models
The product has a variety of designs, from natural wood grain to stone grain, concrete grain,... making it easy to choose the type that suits the home design style.
Long service life
Plastic floorboards have an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years, even longer if maintained and used properly. Therefore, we can save on floor replacement costs in the long run.
Disadvantages of plastic floors
2 common disadvantages of plastic floors are:
- Thin thickness (about 2 - 4mm).
- Color fades when exposed to sunlight for too long.
Thickness
The plastic board has a thin thickness (about 2 - 4mm). This makes them have poor bearing capacity and are easily damaged by strong impacts.
Color fades when exposed to sunlight for too long
Plastic floors, thanks to the color film layer, can imitate wood and stone. This film will fade when exposed to direct sunlight for a long time.
There are several types of plastic floors
There are 4 types of plastic products used for flooring: locking plastic flooring, glued plastic flooring, self-adhesive plastic flooring and roll plastic flooring.
Plastic floor lock
This is a plastic floor installed floating on the ground using joints (locking joints). Because no glue is used, the floor has high flexibility and good water resistance. We can easily install and remove floorboards without much effort.
Note: This type of plastic floor needs to be lined with foam sheets when installed. Foam floor mats help protect the lock and create smoothness when moving. Recently, many manufacturers have launched a line of locking plastic floors with built-in rubber soles, increasing convenience of use.
Laminate flooring with imitation wood glue
This is a type of plastic floor where we have to buy extra glue to apply to the floor when installing. Glue will be the key factor so that the board sticks tightly to the surface and does not move during use. Made from PVC plastic, the product is flexible, does not fold and is safe for health.
Self-adhesive plastic flooring mimics wood
This is a plastic floor with built-in glue on the base layer. The glue is protected by a layer of paper that we just need to remove to fix the board to the floor. No need to buy additional glue and eliminating the need to apply glue has made this type of flooring highly sought after in recent years.
Wood-imitation rolled plastic flooring
Rolled plastic flooring is also known as “rolled vinyl flooring”. This is a plastic floor designed in large panels (2-3m width, 20-30m length). Because of its large size, this type of floor has few connection points.
The product is often used in large spaces such as schools, kindergartens, hospitals, etc. Besides the standard type, you can choose antibacterial or anti-static types to ensure safety.
