LVT floor (Luxury Vinyl Tile) and SPC floor (Stone Plastic Composite) are a kind of plastic floor, but they have some differences in structure, composition and performance.
1. Structure and composition:
-LVT floor: LVT floor usually consists of multi-layer structure. At the top is the protective layer, below it is the pattern layer and the PVC layer, and at the very bottom is the base layer. The pattern layer of LVT floor imitates natural materials such as wood grain and stone grain through printing technology.
-SPC floor: SPC floor is made of stone-plastic composite material. Its structure mainly includes stone-plastic composite material layer, texture layer, UV coating and base layer.
2. Material composition:
-LVT floor: The PVC layer of LVT floor is mainly made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The pattern layer can use different types of printing technology and texture design to imitate natural materials such as wood and stone.
-SPC floor: The main component of SPC floor is stone-plastic composite material, which is mixed with stone powder, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other additives. This makes the SPC floor more robust, stable and has high compression resistance.
3. Stability and durability:
-LVT floor: Due to the structure and material of LVT floor, it is relatively soft and sensitive to the unevenness of the ground. It is suitable for low to medium flow areas, suitable for family homes, commercial spaces and light commercial use.
-SPC floor: SPC floor is composed of stone-plastic composite material, so it has excellent stability and durability. It has good performance on uneven ground and is suitable for high-traffic areas such as commercial offices, shopping malls and public places.
4. Comfort and sound absorption:
-LVT floor: Due to the softer material of the LVT floor, it is softer when pedaled, providing a certain foot comfort. However, it is relatively thin and has poor sound absorption performance.
-SPC floor: SPC floor is more solid due to its harder stone-plastic composite material, and it feels harder when stepping on. However, due to its dense structure, SPC flooring has good sound absorption performance, which helps to reduce noise transmission.
5. Waterproof:
-Both LVT floor and SPC floor have excellent waterproof performance. Their materials and structure make them resistant to moisture penetration and humid environments, so they are very suitable for use in humid areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms.
Summary: Both LVT flooring and SPC flooring are excellent plastic flooring options, and there are some differences in structure, composition and performance. LVT floor is more suitable for family residential and light commercial use, while SPC floor is more suitable for high-traffic commercial and public places. Which floor you choose depends on your needs, budget and space requirements. No matter which floor you choose, they provide durability, comfort and aesthetics, adding comfort and style to your living space.
