What Is PVC floor fiberglass stabilization layer

2024-05-23 11:40:16

The glass fiber stabilizing layer (also known as glass fiber stabilizing layer) of PVC flooring is a special layer of material that is mainly used to enhance the structural stability of PVC flooring. As PVC flooring itself has high elasticity and flexibility, it is prone to deformation when the ambient temperature changes, so it needs to be stabilized by the glass fiber stabilizing layer to keep its size and shape stable.

In the structure of PVC flooring, the fiberglass stabilizing layer is usually located between the wear-resistant layer and the support layer, and other material layers together constitute the multilayer structure of the floor. For example, in composite PVC flooring, the fiberglass stabilizing layer is usually located between the top pure PVC transparent layer and the following printed and foam layers to ensure the stability and durability of the entire flooring system.

The fiberglass stabilizer (also known as glass fiber stabilizer) in PVC flooring plays a crucial role. Due to the high elasticity and flexibility of PVC flooring, when the ambient temperature changes, the floor is prone to deformation. The main function of the fiberglass stabilizing layer is to stabilize the structural form of the PVC floor, reduce the deformation of the floor in the process of thermal expansion and contraction, so as to improve the service life and aesthetics of the floor.

Floors without a fiberglass stabilizer layer face many problems during installation. For example, in winter, due to the floor expansion rate is too large, the joint parts are easy to crack; in summer, the high temperature makes the floor joints due to mutual arrangement and bulging, especially in the case of laying a large area, this phenomenon is more obvious. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability and durability of PVC flooring, it is recommended to use flooring materials with a fiberglass stabilization layer when laying.

In addition, the glass fiber stabilization layer can also effectively prevent the floor in the use of the process of temperature changes caused by deformation, so as to maintain the flatness of the floor and the overall beauty. In short, the fiberglass stabilizer is an integral part of PVC flooring, which ensures good performance in various environmental conditions by increasing the stability and durability of the floor.

PVC flooring without the use of PVC floor fiberglass stabilization layer is prone to the following problems:

Q.
Deformation

Due to its elasticity and flexibility, PVC flooring deforms in hot and cold environments. Floors without a fiberglass stabilization layer are particularly susceptible to deformation under temperature changes, especially in underfloor heated rooms.
Q.
Arching or joint cracking and warping

A.
If the ground base is not good moisture resistance, or the construction process is not exhaust in place, PVC flooring may appear arching or joint cracking and warping phenomenon.
Q.
Bulging

ground base, auxiliary material selection, climate, temperature and construction control may lead to PVC flooring bulging phenomenon. For example, self-leveling is not dry on the laying of PVC flooring, or the ground after self-leveling treatment without sanding, will lead to uneven ground, thus triggering bulging.
Q.
Blistering

A.
If the floor of the grass-roots moisture is not good, or the foundation is not completely dry, it will lead to the moisture content of more than 3%, after a long time the water evaporation, dissolve the glue, make it blistering.

Q.
Scratches and abrasion

prolonged use or improper use may lead to scratches and abrasion on the surface of the floor.
Q.
Alkalinity

The phenomenon of alkaline deposits on the surface of PVC flooring is mainly due to the presence of untreated alkaline substances in the base layer, such as residual alkali in cement.
Q.
Yellowing

PVC floor is exposed to sunlight radiation for a long time, which will lead to yellowing of color. In addition, the floor may be stained during long-term use.
