I.SPC flooringWhich is better: screws or adhesive?
The stone-plastic flooring locking systems and adhesives are both good. Locking systems allow for glue-free installation, but the best results are achieved by applying a small amount of D3 adhesive in the grooves and slots during installation, which will not affect the environmental performance and will also make the installation more durable. Stone-plastic self-adhesive flooring comes with a self-adhesive back, which offers excellent value for money and is easy and convenient to install. Simply peel off the backing and apply it to the floor.
Two. Advantages and Disadvantages of SPC Locking Floor
Advantages of SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) Click Flooring:
1、SPC locking floor has excellent load-bearing capacity.
SPC (stone plastic composite) locking floor requires stricter substrate requirements. The locking force of SPC locking floor primarily depends on the connection between the tongue and groove, and due to the effect of the reverse tongue, SPC locking floor can generally withstand a pulling force of 450 kg to 1 ton. Therefore, the density, expansion, and relative humidity of the SPC locking floor substrate should remain stable.
2、SPC lock-type flooring installation is simple.
Vinyl click-lock flooring installation is more convenient, with tighter seams and better overall installation results – vinyl click-lock flooring utilizes advanced laser automatic correction technology during production, eliminating wave differences and ensuring finer and more uniform engagement between the tongue and groove. Vinyl click-lock flooring uses industrial standards instead of manual installation standards, reducing errors associated with manual installation. The flooring pieces can be easily inserted into the grooves by gently tapping them together. Due to the locking mechanism, vinyl click-lock flooring expands evenly in all directions with temperature changes, preventing localized bulging and addressing internal deformation issues, resulting in excellent overall installation performance.
3、SPC locking floor can be installed without adhesive.
Stone-plastic click flooring can be installed without adhesive – Unlike traditional stone-plastic flooring, which requires adhesive for installation, the adhesive contains chemicals such as formaldehyde, and excessive use can cause indoor pollution. Using too little adhesive can also lead to weak connections. Stone-plastic click flooring, due to the locking mechanism, provides tight seams even when installed without adhesive, preventing issues like lifting or cracking due to temperature changes.
4、SPC interlocking flooring has exceptional locking strength.
Stone-plastic lock floor is suitable for flooring in public places and sports venues – In general, other types of flooring are not suitable for flooring in public places and sports venues, because people's activities or sports can easily cause the flooring to crack, while stone-plastic lock floor has super locking force and is suitable for flooring in public places and sports venues.
Disadvantages of SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) Locking Floor:
1、The installation methods for SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) locking flooring differ, and the installation requirements are relatively strict. Specialized machinery and equipment are required for installation, as standard equipment is not suitable.
2. SPC locking floor prices are relatively higher. Some consumers prefer value-for-money products, and SPC locking floor may not be the best choice in this regard.
