SPC Flooring VS Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tile, also known as tile, is a fireproof metal oxide and semi-metal oxide which by grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing, and sintering process, form a kind of resistance to acid and alkali porcelain or stone, building or decorative materials, called ceramic tile. Its raw materials are made of clay, quartz sand, and so on.

During the decades of development, tile is widely already applied to the family and business area, but because of the character of products, tile also will appear some inevitable problem when it was used in the actual process.

SPC flooring (Rigid Core Flooring) stands for Stone Plastic Composite. The main component is limestone (calcium carbonate)+ PVC Powder + Stabilizer. With the technology development, a new flooring SPC was born which can be called soft ceramic tile.

Its advantages include good dimension stability, high peel strength, little noise when walking on, no warping, no distortion, 100% waterproof, heat and sound insulation, eco-friendly rigid floor, no harmful emission.

1. Non-slip performance

In real life, the wetness and skid of ceramic tile, result in many slip accidents. In heavy water but no skidproof measure condition that easier to make person falls injury. The hard surface of ceramic tile is also the most hurtful. In public places at home and abroad, the ground is too smooth, resulting in accidental slip injuries and cripple constantly arise. The ground anti-skid has become the new problem of public safety.

SPC flooring is vividly called soft ceramic tile by people, has great flexibility, at the same time the surface can be made deep pressure, crystal, EIR, and so on, forming a concave and convex anti-skid effect. After the experimental testing,anti-skid can reach R10 above which has an excellent anti-skid performance.

2. Installation and usage

Paving tiles is construction work that needs your patient and attention.  Before paving, it needs to pave some mortar substrate on the ground, then put the tiles on the mortar and hit the firm with a rubber hammer. Meanwhile, you must guarantee the tile is at the same horizontal line compared with the first one. So the cost is high, and it takes you more time to pave tiles.

SPC flooring is a new type of flooring. It can be fast installed and without any cement mortar. If the ground condition is well, you can pave the SPC flooring directly. It can be used just 24 hours later. If the ground condition is not so good, you just need to pave its cement self-flow level well to ensure the highest and lowest D-value within 2mm.

3. Feet sensation

Tiles' surface enamels can't absorb heat which needs to be adjusted by outside temperature. If there is no underfloor heating in your home, you'll feel cold when you step on the floor barefoot. Especially children running around barefoot, they will feel cold and stiff.

SPC flooring belongs to resilience material. Compared with tiles, it is comfortable and soft, and its thermal insulation property is also better. Meanwhile, its resilience is better than tiles, without cold feeling and with good feet feeling.
