It is a gas that can irritate a person's eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, or trigger an asthma attack, even at low concentrations. Prolonged exposure to formaldehyde can cause people cancer. Its release period can reach 8-15years, once the Formaldehyde concentration is higher, people will suffer its poison in very long time.

For SPC flooring, its main materials is PVC, 100% virgin materials, the stone powder and other plasticizers. And its whole production process is also without any pollution. Fisrtly, plasticizing and extruding the SPC core sheet, then attach the decorative film layer and wear layer by the five-roll hot extrusion. Secondly, after one or two days cooling of extrusion, will do UV coating, which will help determine the floor is anti -pollution and with high color fastness. Thirdly, is do click groove, and package. You can see the whole production process does not contain any heavy metals, formaldehyde and other harmful substances, and it also does not use glue like many other materials, in which the formaldehyde comes from glue.

So the SPC floor can be said to be 100% formaldehyde-free, is a real zero-formaldehyde green product, compared with some other floors, is really have this great advantage.

2, It is waterproof. Suitable for lots of places.

SPC flooring, The main component is composed of wear-resistant layer, stone powder and pvc powder, naturally not afraid of water. Choose the SPC floor for your home decoration, won’t have to worry about the flooring will be drum because of the water, or the flooring will change the shape or mildew because of the weather change or the high humidity. So the SPC floor not only can be used in the living room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, toilet and other indoor home decoration; but also in the public places such as hotels, hospitals, shopping malls.

3, Good anti slip performance.

At home, the old people and children slide often happens, especially in the home installed with the ceramic tile, we must be careful. But the SPC floor has good anti-skid performance, with its unique process and anti-skid design, the floor will be "more astringent" meet the water,  the friction will become greater, no longer have to worry about slipping and wrestling. The following is the anti slip test report for your reference:

4, SPC flooring is foot comfortable step on it, you can rival the feeling step on the solid wood flooring.

SPC floor surface layer is with UV coating process treatment, the surface insulation performance is good, barefoot step on it will not have a cold feeling, in addition to some SPC floor is made with the flexible rebound technology layer, such as EVA or IXPE underlayer, has a very good flexible elastic energy, foot feeling is more comfortable, comparable to the real wood floor. And the SPC flooring is noise reduction, because the dense core of the SPC vinyl helps this floor is typically quiet at your feet and never sounds hollow-especially if you choose the noise reduction underlying mute pad EVA or IXPE.

5, SPC flooring is wear-resistant, with longer service life.

General good laminate floor, wear resistance can reach about 3000 circles when test it. But the SPC floor wear resistance can reach about 6000 circles or even higher. In a small test, using a wire ball or other sharp device to scrape back and down the SPC floor, you will find no scratches on the surface, and the designs are still very clear.

So SPC floor has super wear resistance, impact prevention, not easy deformation, service life up to more than 20 years.

6, SPC flooring is fire retardant

The SPC floor material has a natural flame retardant, its fireproof level reached Bf1 level. Here is a simple test to confirm: put a lit cigarette or lighter directly onto the floor , and then take a wet cloth to wipe the surface, immediately become clean, without any trace. Its fire proof  performance is commendable, which is also one of the reasons why many public places now choose SPC floor. The following is the fire proof test report for your reference:

7, Suitable for underfloor heating room, thermal insulation and energy saving.

The spc flooring main material --calcium powder is just like the mineral rock, with good thermal conductivity and thermal stability, so it is very suitable for underfloor heating room, in this environment, the flooring is without deformation, no harmful gas release. And at the same time, SPC floor underlayer and wear layer structure, can effectively heat preservation, more energy saving.

8, SPC flooring is easy to install

The click lock design of SPC floor makes the installation become simple and fast, put one side click into another side groove, gently lock them together, the installation will be okay. Then you can buy them to your home and DIY your home. After leveling your underfloor, lay the underlayer, then it can be directly installed.  Additional, it can be installed directly above on the original ceramic tile or other floor, no need to knock off the old floor before. Very suit old house to renovate.

How to Choose SPC flooring when you buy?

The spc click floor is made of PVC (divided into pure new material, mixture, recycling), calcium powder (distinguish grade of stone powder) and solvent (using chemical grade and plant solvent food grade) through high temperature put the color film, pvc wear resistant layer together, after cooling treatment, do uv process (determine floor resistance and not discoloration performance with sun exposure), finally floor cutting slot process (part determine floor buckle strength, bearing tension), finally pallet packing (damage in transportation). So we can separete the high quality SPC flooring from the followings:

1.Look at the SPC flooring appearance: the high quality SPC lock floor surface appearance is flat, without obvious color spots, and the surface is with clear pattern; But the SPC floor made with recycled materials or mixture materials, its suface is not smooth enough, with obvious impurities and has poor smoothness after the installation.

4. Peel Strength: break the floor, pull hard, to check if you can easily separate the decor layer, wear resistance layer and UV layer from the floor, if not easy to separate, we can say this SPC floor is high quality one.  

5. Smell the floor: Virginal materials SPC flooring is always odorless, but the recycled or mixture materials with bad smell.
