Pros & Cons of SPC Flooring Contrasting hardwood flooring
Face value competition
First of all, it is the torture of beauty. In this era of justice, ugliness loses everything. After comparing the wooden flooring and the wood-grained brick, the two are on the same level in terms of appearance. The imitation wood texture of the wood-grain brick is still good, so the face value comparison can be said to be flat.
Durable and scratch resistant
The owners who know the wood flooring know that the solid wood flooring is relatively delicate, can not be soaked in water, will be scratched by solid objects, and needs careful maintenance in the later stage.
The SPC flooring does not have these troubles. It is waterproof, moisture-proof, wear-resistant, flame-retardant, and has a long service life. In terms of durability and scratch resistance, SPC flooring wins.
Comfort
The so-called comfort is the foot feel. Compared with the SPC flooring covering material, the wooden flooring has greater elasticity and moderate friction coefficient, which can effectively alleviate the weight load of the feet and eliminate foot fatigue. Of course, you can also get a foot feel by increasing the thickness of SPC flooring pads.
Moreover, the texture of the wooden floor is more warm, warm in winter and cool in summer, making it more comfortable to step on.
At the same time, the fragrant smell emitted by the base material of many wooden floors contains essential oils, fendol essence, aromatic tinctures and other ingredients, which can make the occupants’ sense of smell become more agile.
The material of the SPC flooring itself is unavoidable, and it is not suitable for bare feet to step on, so the wooden floor feels better in terms of foot feel.
Environmental issues
Wood floors are inseparable from the presence of formaldehyde from production to installation, so wood floors are also an important source of indoor formaldehyde emissions. The formaldehyde in the board will slowly volatilize the formaldehyde in the material into the air. After the wood board is damp, it is easy to expand and deform and cause the board to crack. After the deformation and cracking, it will inevitably increase the release of formaldehyde.
However, SPC Flooring is a new type of environmentally friendly floor developed based on high technology. It is cold pressed with original ecological stone powder and resin powder. It does not contain formaldehyde from raw materials to pressing, and its health is far superior to traditional wood flooring.
