In today's pursuit of quality of life and space aesthetics, the choice of flooring has become an important part of home and commercial decoration that cannot be ignored. Glue Down LVT Flooring, or glue-down luxury vinyl flooring, is gradually becoming a highly anticipated flooring type in the market with its unique advantages.
Glue Down LVT Flooring, full name Glue Down Vinyl Tile Flooring, is a luxury vinyl floor installed by gluing. It has won wide recognition for its soft texture, diverse colors and excellent performance.
Environmentally friendly and healthy: The main raw material of LVT flooring is luxury vinyl resin, which is natural and environmentally friendly, 100% free of harmful substances such as formaldehyde, lead, benzene, heavy metals and carcinogens, no soluble volatiles, and no radiation. For consumers who pursue a healthy life, this is undoubtedly an important selection criterion.
Anti-mildew and moisture-proof: The vinyl material of LVT flooring has no water affinity and will not mold in a humid environment. This feature makes it particularly suitable for use in places with high humidity such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Wear-resistant and non-slip: The surface layer of the LVT floor has been processed by high-tech to form a transparent wear-resistant layer. This wear-resistant layer not only has excellent wear resistance, but also provides special anti-slip performance. Even in the case of water, the floor surface will become astringent and slippery, effectively preventing slip accidents.
Diverse colors: The LVT floor has rich and diverse colors, ranging from solid colors to stone grains, wood grains, etc. Consumers can choose the most suitable floor color according to their preferences and decoration style.
Easy to install: Glue Down LVT Flooring is installed by gluing, and the construction is relatively simple. As long as the ground is flat, clean and dust-free, it can be paved. For consumers who like DIY, it is not difficult to lay the floor by themselves.
Although the installation of Glue Down LVT Flooring is relatively simple, certain conditions must still be met to ensure the paving effect and service life.
Ground leveling: The flatness of the ground base is the key to installing LVT flooring. Generally speaking, the flatness of the ground base should be controlled within a range of 2 meters, and the height difference should not exceed 2 mm. If the ground is uneven, it needs to be leveled, and cement-based self-leveling materials are usually used.
Base strength: Ensure that the compressive strength of concrete or cement mortar is not less than C20 (20Mpa), and the curing period exceeds 28 days, and the surface hardness reaches 1.2Mpa or more. This ensures that the floor will not crack or sand during use.
Moisture content control: The moisture content of the base must be controlled within 4%. Excessive moisture content will cause problems such as floor expansion and deformation.
Temperature and humidity requirements: The ambient temperature during construction should be maintained between 10℃ and 30℃, and the air humidity should be controlled between 35% and 75%. The most ideal ambient temperature is 15℃ to 25℃, and the air humidity is 45% to 60%. Such temperature and humidity conditions are conducive to the curing of glue and ensure the bonding effect between the floor and the ground.
Glue Down LVT Flooring is suitable for a variety of places due to its excellent performance and diverse colors.
Commercial places: such as schools, kindergartens, playrooms, offices, shopping malls, exhibition halls, etc. These places have high requirements for the wear resistance, anti-slip and aesthetics of the floor, and LVT floor can meet these needs.
Home places: such as living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, etc. The environmentally friendly and healthy characteristics of LVT floor make it an ideal choice for home decoration. At the same time, its diverse patterns can also meet the personalized needs of different consumers.
In order to extend the service life of Glue Down LVT Flooring and maintain its beauty, the correct maintenance method is essential.
Daily cleaning: Use a 90% dry mop to clean the floor, and perform local cleaning on severely polluted areas. Avoid using strong acid or strong alkaline cleaners to clean the floor to avoid damaging the floor surface.
Regular maintenance: You can use a neutral detergent to clean the floor regularly. At the same time, be careful to avoid sharp objects scratching the floor surface.
Fire and moisture resistance: Although LVT flooring has the characteristics of fire and moisture resistance, it is still necessary to avoid placing burning cigarette butts, mosquito coils, etc. directly on the floor. At the same time, in seasons or areas with high humidity, pay attention to keeping the indoor ventilation and dry.
