There are many types of flooring, among which PVC flooring and rubber flooring are the most common types of flooring that will be used.
Do you know the difference between PVC flooring and rubber flooring? Here we will introduce the difference between the two.
1. Different ingredients and production process
There are two types of rubber flooring: homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogenization refers to the use of natural rubber or natural synthetic rubber as the main material, and the color and composition are generally vulcanized into a single-layer or multi-layer structure.
Heterogeneity refers to the use of non natural synthetic rubber as the main material. The main raw material for PVC flooring is polyvinyl chloride.
2. There are differences in colors
It is difficult to color rubber flooring because rubber has strong color absorption properties, so there are few color options for rubber and the colors are relatively single. PVC flooring is different from it. PVC flooring comes in many colors that can be freely combined, providing homeowners and designers with more choices.
3. There are differences in the difficulty of installation
PVC flooring is a lightweight material with a very light texture, making it easy and fast to install. However, rubber flooring is relatively heavy and difficult to install. Moreover, rubber flooring is very strict in installation. If the installation method is not correct or the installation is not good, it is easy to produce bubbles, and even larger base defects may occur in the later stage.
4. There are differences in market demand
Due to the high price of rubber flooring, it is generally only used in high-end places, so its scope of use is very limited. Currently, rubber flooring is mainly used in the transportation industry. PVC flooring has a high cost performance ratio and a wide range of applications, so it has more market potential than rubber flooring. PVC flooring is suitable for various places such as schools, hospitals, businesses, sports venues, office buildings, industrial sites, transportation, etc.
