Small Tricks Can Identify The Quality Of WPC Floors

With the increasing use of WPC flooring, there is an increasing demand for WPC flooring in the market. It has also caused a large number of manufacturers to enter the industry, and the subsequent market is flooded with a variety of plastic wood floors. It is difficult for consumers to distinguish the difference between the two types of WPC flooring with the naked eye, which greatly increases the difficulty for consumers to choose a good WPC flooring. In the process of communicating with many customers, customers often ask if there is any simple way to judge the quality of a WPC floor? Today, I will share with you three tips to identify wood-plastic flooring.

First, we got a WPC floor, and the customer first put it in front of his nose and smelled it to see if there was an unpleasant or relatively large smell. If there is a pungent odor, the manufacturer purchases recycled materials or raw materials of poor quality during production. These recycled raw materials have complex components. For example, most of the properties of recycled plastics, such as toughness, strength, and bearing capacity, have basically been lost. These directly affect the service life of WPC flooring.

 

Second, we got a WPC floor. We can weigh it in our hands to see if the thickness of the floor is right or not. Too light and too thin a floor is not much better. It is possible that its raw materials are blended with other materials with lower costs, and it is also possible that manufacturers reduce the use of raw materials in order to reduce costs during production. The thinner floor has a high deformation coefficient and poor compression resistance. It is very easy to crack and rot when used outdoors. After receiving the samples, customers can check the wall thickness of the WPC floor. The thin WPC floor has a high deformation coefficient, low compression resistance and easy cracking. Some manufacturers are facing price wars, and the wall thicknesses of the products they send are completely different.

 

Third, we can also look at the quality of the WPC floor. Many friends prefer to choose the cheaper ones when purchasing WPC floors. In fact, this approach is not desirable. The WPC flooring industry is relatively mature, and prices on the market are relatively transparent. Floors below the market price, either cut corners on raw materials during the production process, or adjust the production line very fast in the production process, resulting in very unstable floor performance. Such products have a short service life, and severe damage in the later period requires maintenance or even re-purchasing. The overall purchase cost is very expensive. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase a slightly more expensive WPC floor.

When customers buy plastic wood flooring, they often take the price factor as the most fundamental factor. In fact, this idea is wrong. Imagine that the price of plastic wood flooring is cheap or even lower than the normal market price. Such a product can only be used for 1 year. Later severe damage requires maintenance or even re-purchasing. Again. " The higher price of plastic wood flooring can reach 5 years or even longer. In this comparison, the price factor can identify the quality of WPC flooring.

 

Fourth, we can look at the surface of the WPC floor and the side of the WPC floor: The side of a good quality WPC floor is smooth, shiny and shiny, with a clear feeling of oiliness, without small cracks. Poor quality WPC flooring has rough sides, dim gloss, no oily feeling, and some cracks due to poor PE elongation. Look at the front of the WPC floor: Good quality WPC floor is smooth, shiny and shiny, and the wood powder floor with fine wood particles and uniform size is of poor quality, the front is rough, the gloss is dim, the wood powder is large, the size is different, and the distribution is uneven . Look at the cut surface of WPC flooring: The cut surface of good quality WPC flooring has firm texture, shiny luster, small and uniform distribution of wood flour particles, the cut surface of poor quality WPC flooring texture is loose, the gloss is dull, the wood powder particles are large, and the size is different , Uneven distribution, and wood fibers are clearly seen.
