What is the quartz vinyl tile for the floor?
This is a kind of pie from several layers, each of which is responsible for a particular characteristic of the coating:
- The maximum clutch with the floor will provide vinyl, which is the first layer;
- Further, the reinforcing layer is represented by fiberglass, but not glued, but with a compressed hot method without the addition of chemistry;
- This is the same quartzvinyl;
- A decorative layer is applied from above, capable of imitating any surface you need from stone to metal;
- The last transparent layer of polyurethane allows you to achieve high wear resistance.
All these layers of our cake quartz vinyl tiles will be glued together with polyvinyl chloride, often used for flooring. For human health, this composition is completely safe, but each part of the tile adheses one to the other reliably. After assembling all parts and gluing them, we get the thickness of the finished tile within 4 mm.
Advantages and disadvantages of quartz vinyl tiles for the floor
