Comparison between PVC flooring and linoleum flooring

PVC flooring has its unique advantages compared with other floors. PVC flooring is relatively low-priced but has good performance, such as linoleum flooring. Although PVC flooring and linen flooring are both elastic floors, they are actually different:

The ingredients of linoleum flooring are: linseed oil, limestone, cork, wood powder, natural resin, and jute. It has good resistance to cigarette butts. Flax is currently mainly rolled material, which has a single homogeneous and transparent structure.

General requirements for laying linoleum floor base:

1. Surface flatness: 2mm/2m

2. Cement mortar surface layer strength: greater than or equal to M15

3. Cement mortar surface hardness: greater than or equal to 1.2MPA

4. Moisture content of base layer: greater than or equal to 3%CM

5. The surface should be clean and free of cracks, peeling, pitting, sanding and other defects.

The advantages of PVC flooring compared to linen flooring are as follows:

1. Scope of application Linen flooring is not suitable for humid rooms or areas with clean requirements. Because linoleum floors can emit strong odors that linger in the room where they are installed. This will not happen with PVC floors.

2. Wear resistance: Linen flooring has average scratch resistance, while PVC flooring has better wear resistance. On the whole, linoleum flooring is not as stable as PVC flooring.

3. Maintenance level Linoleum flooring is much harder than PVC flooring, but because the surface is porous, stains must be cleaned up quickly, otherwise the surface will leave hard-to-remove marks and have to be polished and waxed again. Because it is not a thermoplastic material, it cannot be recycled. PVC flooring does not have these worries.
