Cork flooring vs stone plastic flooring

Among the six categories of wood flooring, cork flooring is one of the less used categories, and the application of stone plastic flooring in plastic flooring is also very few in China. In the floor decoration material market, the most widely used types of decoration materials are ceramic floor tiles, followed by flooring, natural stone, and plastic flooring. Although cork flooring and stone plastic flooring are not yet popular in China, cork flooring and stone plastic flooring also have many advantages and advantages that are not available in floor decoration materials. Let's get a preliminary understanding of the characteristics and respective advantages of these two types of flooring.

1. Material composition

Cork flooring: Cork is an oak tree that grows along the Mediterranean coast and my country’s Qinling Mountains. The raw material of cork products is the bark of the oak tree. Compared with solid wood flooring, it is more environmentally friendly, sound insulation, and moisture-proof. Good foot feel.

Stone plastic floor: Stone plastic floor is also called stone plastic floor tile. The formal name should be "PVC sheet floor". Natural marble powder is used to form a solid base with high density and high fiber network structure, and the surface is covered with super resistance The ground polymer PVC wear-resistant layer is processed through hundreds of procedures.

2. Detailed classification

Cork flooring: Cork flooring can be divided into the following six categories according to the structure: uncovered cork flooring, coated cork flooring, PVC veneer cork flooring, PVC veneer cork flooring, and multilayer composite cork flooring.

Stone plastic flooring: Stone plastic flooring belongs to a category of PVC flooring. It is well known that PVC flooring is divided into coils and sheets. Stone plastic flooring refers specifically to sheets. From the structure, it is mainly divided into homogeneous core sheet, multi-layer composite sheet, semi-homogeneous core sheet; from the shape, it is divided into square material and strip material.

Three, detailed advantages

Cork flooring:

1. The structure is reasonable, the dimensional stability is good, and it will not crack or warp under the condition of drastic changes in temperature and humidity.

2. Good thermal insulation performance, cork is a very good insulator, especially suitable for places with many electronic instruments and anti-static;

3. The foot feels comfortable, natural and elastic;

4. Wear-resistant. Cork is a specially processed composite material with a special structure and more wear-resistant;

5. Environmental protection. The cork floor is made of bark, and the cork material itself is non-toxic and harmless, and has good environmental protection;

6. Moisture-proof. Cork flooring has the characteristics of airtight and imperviousness, it is not easy to warp and deform when exposed to moisture, its moisture-proof performance is far better than other wooden floors, and its flame retardant performance is also better.
