PVC board, also known as "lightweight floor material", is a popular type of floor decoration material that has gained widespread popularity in Europe, America, Asia, Japan, and Korea. This innovative material made its way into the Chinese market in the early 1980s, and is now widely used in large and medium-sized cities across the country. It can be found in a variety of settings, including indoor families, hospitals, schools, office buildings, factories, public places, supermarkets, businesses, and stadiums, as well as museums and other areas.

 

When we talk about PVC floor, we are referring to the floor that is made from high quality polyvinyl chloride materials. The main raw materials used are polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and its copolymer resin, which are then combined with fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, colorants, and other auxiliary materials. The end result is a continuous sheet substrate that is produced through a coating process or by using a calendering, extrusion, or extrusion process.

 

Overall, PVC board has become a popular choice for those in search of an innovative and practical flooring solution. Thanks to its durability, versatility, and affordability, it has become a go-to material for many people and is sure to remain popular for years to come.

 


(1) There are primarily three types of structures for PVC boards: composite, homogeneous, and semi-homogeneous. The composite PVC board is a multi-layer structure, typically consisting of 4-5 stacked layers. It includes a wear-resistant layer (sometimes with UV treatment), a printing film layer, a glass fiber layer, an elastic foam layer, and a grass-roots layer. On the other hand, the homogeneous PVC floor is completely uniform throughout its thickness, with the same color from top to bottom.

 


In terms of morphology, there are two types of metal boards: coil board and sheet board. Coil boards have a softer texture and come in various widths, including 1.5, 1.83, 2, 3, 4, and 5 meters. A single coil can range in length from 7.5 to 25 meters, and the total thickness falls between 1.6 and 3.2 mm. Sheet metal comes in several different specifications, with the most common being strip and square shapes.

 


PVC boards are an innovative solution for modern construction needs. Their thin profile of only 2-3mm and weight of 2-3KG per square meter offer unparalleled advantages for load-bearing and space-saving. These attributes make them ideal for high-rise buildings, where structural strength and efficient use of space are paramount. Additionally, they offer unique advantages in the renovation of old structures. With PVC boards, outdated buildings can be easily reimagined for modern use. Overall, PVC boards are a game-changer in the construction industry, offering superior strength and adaptability in a thin, lightweight package.
