Moisture resistance weaknesses of traditional wood flooring and laminate
Wood flooring is popular for its natural texture and warm texture, but one of its biggest disadvantages is that it is susceptible to moisture. Wood itself has strong hygroscopicity and easily absorbs moisture in the air, causing the floor to swell and deform, and even crack and bulge. If not handled properly, damp wood flooring may also breed mold, posing a health hazard to the living environment. Especially when it is in a humid state for a long time, the beauty and durability of the wood floor will be greatly reduced.
Laminate has certain moisture resistance compared to wood flooring, but its structure is still mainly wood. Although the surface is covered with a waterproof layer, its joints and bottom are still weak links in moisture resistance. Once moisture penetrates into the interior of the laminate, the floor will also deform and warp, affecting its service life.
Moisture resistance advantages of MSPC flooring
In contrast, MSPC flooring shows excellent moisture resistance due to its unique stone-plastic composite material structure. The core of MSPC flooring is composed of stone-plastic material, a material composed of stone powder and polymer, which has natural waterproof and moisture resistance. Since the stone plastic composite does not absorb water or expand, it will not be deformed by moisture like traditional wood floors even in a humid environment, which greatly improves the stability and durability of the floor.
In addition, the surface layer of MSPC flooring is usually composed of a high-strength wear-resistant layer and a waterproof membrane. These surface materials not only provide additional waterproof protection, but also effectively resist moisture and humidity in the air, ensuring that the shape and structure of the floor will not be affected by moisture. Even in a humid environment for a long time, MSPC floors can still remain flat and smooth without cracking, warping and other problems.
The importance of moisture resistance
Whether it is a small amount of water stains in daily life or a sudden water pipe burst, good moisture resistance can effectively reduce the risk of floor damage and extend its service life. The excellent moisture resistance of MSPC flooring makes it an ideal choice for homes and commercial places in humid areas. It not only provides reliable protection for high-humidity environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, but also greatly reduces the maintenance and replacement costs caused by moisture.
