1. Product Types and Specifications of Dry Back LVT Floors

Question: What are the specifications of Dry Back LVT Floors?
Answer: Dry Back LVT Floors is available in thicknesses of 2.0/2.5/3.0mm, with wear layer thicknesses of 0.15mm/0.3mm/0.5mm. The dimensions are 152.4X914.4mm,159X1229mm, etc. It is suitable for commercial, residential, public facilities and high-traffic areas such as offices, living rooms, schools, and shopping mall corridors. It can provide a durable flooring solution, with a rich variety of designs that can mimic various material effects. It performs excellently in areas with requirements for wear resistance, waterproofing and adhesive fixation for stability, adding beauty and comfort to the space.

2. Installation Method

Question: How is Dry Back LVT Floors installed?
Answer: Dry Back LVT Floors needs to be installed using adhesive. This installation method requires that the base surface must be flat and solid to ensure good adhesion. Professional installation can ensure the installation effect and stability. The adhered floor can effectively reduce the risk of movement or lifting, thus ensuring the stability of the ground during long-term use and enabling it to withstand various daily uses and maintain good performance and appearance.

3. Cleaning Method

Question: How to clean Dry Back LVT Floors?
Answer: Cleaning Dry Back LVT Floors is relatively simple. For daily cleaning, regularly use a broom or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the surface. When wet mopping, use a wrung-out damp cloth or mop and a mild detergent (such as diluted neutral dishwashing liquid in a certain proportion) to gently wipe the floor surface to effectively remove stains. It is especially important to avoid using strong acid or alkaline cleaners, as such cleaners will erode the wear layer and protective coating on the floor surface, causing the floor to fade, deform and lose its luster, thus reducing its waterproof, wear-resistant and anti-fouling properties and affecting the service life and aesthetics of the floor.

4. Comparison with Other Floors

Question: What are the differences between LVT floors and laminate floors?
Answer:

• Material: LVT floors are mainly made of pvc vinyl, featuring stable dimensions and good flexibility. Laminate floors have a core of high-density fiberboard, which is relatively rigid and made from recycled hardwood. The characteristics of these raw materials lead to significant differences in waterproof performance, texture, and stability between the two.
• Installation Method: Some LVT products can be installed in a floating manner. The dry-back type is mostly glued, and the self-adhesive type is directly pasted. Laminate floors are installed in a floating system and it is strictly prohibited to nail or glue them to the base. The differences in installation rules affect the convenience of installation, base requirements, and the service life and stability of the floor.
• User Experience: LVT floors have a plastic texture, while laminate floors have a touch similar to wood. These different textures influence the overall atmosphere of the space and the user’s tactile experience, allowing users to choose according to the decoration style and personal preferences.

Question: What are the installation differences between LVT floors and other vinyl floors?
Answer: The dry-back vinyl floor is installed with adhesive, firmly fixing the floor to the ground and enhancing stability. It is suitable for complex environments and heavy-load areas. Other vinyl floors, such as click-lock vinyl floors, adopt an adhesive-free locking system. Their installation and disassembly are flexible, facilitating replacement and adjustment. They are applicable to scenarios that emphasize installation convenience and flexibility, such as places where frequent layout changes are required. These two installation methods meet different installation needs and usage scenario preferences.

5. Performance Characteristics

Question: What are the performance advantages of Dry Back LVT Floors?
Answer:

• Waterproof Performance: Dry Back LVT Floors has excellent waterproof performance. Its structural design can effectively prevent water penetration. Therefore, it is very suitable for wet environments such as kitchens and bathrooms. In these places, it can resist the erosion of water vapor for a long time, always maintaining the stability of the floor’s performance and appearance, effectively preventing problems such as floor deformation and mildew caused by moisture absorption, thus ensuring its long service life.
• Wear Resistance and Scratch Resistance: Its wear layer can effectively resist daily scratches and abrasions. Depending on the thickness and quality of the wear layer, it can cope with different degrees of wear and tear during use and maintain the smooth and clean surface of the floor for a long time. In commercial places and high-traffic areas, it can maintain a good appearance during frequent use, greatly reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency.
• Easy to Clean and Maintain: Cleaning Dry Back LVT Floors is relatively simple. Regular dust removal and wet mopping are sufficient. However, it should be noted that strong acid or alkaline cleaners should not be used, as such cleaners will damage the surface coating and material structure of the floor. Compared with solid wood floors, it does not require complex maintenance processes such as waxing and painting, which can save a lot of time and effort and maintain a beautiful and hygienic state for a long time.
• Fire Retardant: The fire resistance index of Dry Back LVT Floors can reach the B1 level. When encountering an open flame, it can effectively slow down the spread of the fire, reducing the risk of fire and potential losses. This provides a strong guarantee for the safety of people and property, improves the overall fire safety level of the building, and is suitable for a variety of public places and home environments.
• Diverse Designs: Dry Back LVT Floors has a rich variety of textures and patterns to choose from. It can realistically simulate various effects such as wood, stone, concrete and marble, and there are also multiple colors and formats available, such as plank type, herringbone type and tile type. These features can meet various personalized design requirements, greatly enhancing the decorative and artistic nature of the space and enabling it to be well adapted to different decoration styles.

Question: How is the applicability of Dry Back LVT Floors in high-traffic areas and wet environments?
Answer: In high-traffic areas, the wear layer and stable structure of Dry Back LVT Floors can withstand frequent trampling, friction and heavy object rolling. For example, in shopping malls, stations, school corridors and other places, it can maintain good appearance and performance during long-term use. In wet environments, its excellent waterproof performance makes it completely unaffected by water vapor. In areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and pool surroundings, it can effectively prevent water from infiltrating into the internal structure of the floor, avoiding problems such as deformation and damage, and strongly guaranteeing the long-term reliable use of the floor in these special environments. It provides an ideal floor covering solution for different functional areas.

6. Selection and Ordering

Question: How to choose suitable Dry Back LVT Floors?
Answer: First, the selection should be based on the function of the use space, the flow of people, the design style and the budget. For public areas with large crowds, it is recommended to choose products with a thicker wear layer (such as 0.5mm and above) and a higher overall thickness (4mm and above). For light-load areas such as family bedrooms, products with a relatively thinner wear layer (0.2 – 0.3mm) and a moderate thickness (2 – 3mm) can be selected. At the same time, the design style should also be considered and the texture pattern matching it should be selected. If the budget is limited, trade-offs can be made in terms of product specifications and brands. In addition, attention should be paid to product certifications to ensure that its quality and environmental protection standards are met, so as to achieve a balance between product performance, aesthetics and cost.
