Factors Affecting the Scratch Resistance of SPC Flooring
Thickness of Wear-Resistant Layer: There is usually a layer of wear-resistant layer on the surface of SPC floor, and the thicker the wear-resistant layer is, the stronger the scratch-resistant ability is. Generally speaking, high quality SPC flooring wear layer thickness can reach 0.3-0.5 mm or even thicker, these products can better resist the daily use of scratching.
Wear-Resistant Layer Material: The quality of the wear-resistant layer material is also crucial. Superior quality wear-resistant layer of high-performance resin and other materials, after a special process, has a higher hardness and toughness, can effectively resist scratches.
Surface Texture: Some SPC flooring surfaces have special textures or bumpy designs, which to a certain extent can disperse the contact pressure between objects and the surface of the floor, reducing the possibility of scratching.
Use of the Environment and Maintenance: If the SPC floor is often dragged on the heavy, sharp objects, or improper use, such as using sharp tools in the floor scratching, etc., even the better performance of the anti-scratch SPC floor may appear scratches. In addition, daily not pay attention to cleaning, so that sand and other sharp particles remain on the surface of the floor for a long time, will also increase the risk of scratching the floor.
Comparison of SPC Flooring with Other Flooring
Comparison with Solid Wood Flooring: SPC flooring is generally better at resisting scratches than solid wood flooring. Solid wood flooring is a relatively soft material that is easily scratched by sharp objects, while SPC flooring is protected by a wear-resistant layer that is more resistant to scratching.
Compared with Laminate Flooring: The surface of laminate flooring generally also has a wear-resistant layer, but SPC flooring has certain advantages in material and structure, in some extreme scratching tests, some SPC flooring performance may be better, but the scratch resistance of both can meet the needs of most families for daily use.
Overall, under normal use, SPC flooring is less likely to be scratched, and is able to meet the demands of daily use in homes and general commercial environments. However, in order to maintain the beauty and service life of the floor, it is necessary to pay attention to avoid sharp objects on the surface of the floor of the direct scratch, and do a good job of daily cleaning and maintenance work.
