Vinyl tile
In: Vinyl Tiles
12 Nov 2009This is a compressed vinyl tile which is also called LVT (luxury vinyl tile) or simply “PVC-tile”. Its structure is the following: it has an undercoat consisting of two PVC layers with filling materials, a film with a pattern and an upper wear-resistant layer from pure PVC (with thickness from 0,3 up to 1 mm). This protective layer makes it more tight and durable. According to the level of wearing quality the material applies to the highest group – T. An additional protective layer from polyurethane greatly simplifies and reduces the costs on handling and cleaning-up. Tile is produced with different thickness: 2, 2,5, 3 mm – depending on the operation class. This floor coating is produced in three groups: for middle (23-31 classes), high (32-42 classes) and very high intensity of usage (43 classes). Tile consists of vinyl and resin, which are added by plasticizers, stabilizers and sometimes inert fillers. All ingredients are compressed under high pressure and high temperature; therewith tile saves elasticity and plasticity of PVC-coatings. Vinyl PVC-tile is an inexpensive and rather comfortable coating. It is rather moisture-resistant, wear-resistant, elastic, and plastic and is not sensitive to frequent washing. In living accommodations it’s possible to use it in the kitchen or in a corridor. But more often such a tile is used for floor finishing in prestigious social rooms.
