Low Price Floating Vinyl Wood Plank Flooring – Exporter Overview

This product consists of a wear layer, a printed decorative film, a rigid PVC core, and a balancing backing layer. The planks interlock via a click‑lock system, allowing installation without adhesive over a suitable subfloor.

Key Technical Characteristics

Material Composition

The wear layer is a transparent polyurethane coating with aluminum oxide additive for scratch resistance. Beneath it, a high‑resolution photographic film reproduces wood grain patterns. The core is a virgin PVC compound blended with calcium carbonate and stabilizers, giving a specific gravity around 1.4 g/cm³. The backing layer is a homogeneous PVC sheet that balances the plank and reduces curling.

Installation Method

Planks feature a unilateral click‑lock profile on the long edges and a push‑fit on the short edges. Installation proceeds by angling the plank, lowering to lock, and tapping gently with a rubber mallet. A 2 mm expansion gap is required around the perimeter and at fixed objects. An underlayment of 1‑mm polyethylene foam is recommended to accommodate minor subfloor irregularities and provide acoustic damping.

Applications

• Retail stores – the wear layer tolerates foot traffic of up to 5000 passes per day without visible wear.
• Office corridors – low‑emission VOC levels (< 50 µg/m³) meet indoor air quality standards for office environments.
• Hospitality guest rooms – the product resists staining from common spills and can be cleaned with neutral pH detergents.
• Healthcare waiting areas – seamless installation reduces crevices where microbes can accumulate, and the surface complies with ISO 22196 for bacterial resistance.

Quality Control & Testing

Each production lot undergoes abrasion resistance testing via Taber‑170 wheels (1000 cycles, 500 g load) with a target weight loss ≤ 0.02 g. Dimensional stability is checked after 24 h immersion in water at 20 °C; thickness variation must stay within ±0.05 mm. Additionally, a static load indentation test (ASTM F970) verifies that a 250 psi load does not cause permanent deformation > 0.1 mm. All results are recorded and available upon request.

Customization Options

• Plank width: 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm (custom widths available on request)
• Plank length: 900 mm, 1200 mm, 1800 mm (random length packs or fixed lengths)
• Total thickness: 4.0 mm to 6.5 mm (wear layer 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm)
• Surface finish: matte, semi‑gloss, high‑gloss emboss
• Edge profile: square, beveled, micro‑bevel
• Color palette: over 120 standard wood tones; custom color matching possible

Packaging for Export

Planks are packed in cardboard cartons measuring 300 mm × 200 mm × 100 mm (L×W×H), each carton holding 2 m² of flooring. Cartons are stacked on Euro‑pallets (800 mm × 1200 mm) with a maximum height of 1.4 m, secured with PET straps and corner protectors. A polyethylene moisture barrier film lines the pallet interior, and the entire pallet is stretch‑wrapped with 80 µm LLDPE to guard against humidity during transit.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can dimensions be customized? Yes, plank width, length, and total thickness can be adjusted according to project specifications; tooling lead time is typically 2‑3 weeks.
• What information is required before quotation? Required details include desired dimensions, wear‑layer thickness, surface finish, order quantity, and delivery destination.
• What materials are available? Standard PVC core with optional recycled content up to 30 %; wear‑layer formulations with varying aluminum oxide levels.
• How is quality inspected? Incoming raw material is tested for melt flow index and PVC purity; finished planks are sampled for abrasion, indentation, and dimensional change as described in the QC section.
• What packaging methods are available? Standard carton‑on‑pallet packaging as outlined; alternative options include shrink‑wrapped bundles or custom crating for oversized lengths.
• How are export shipments protected? Pallets are wrapped with moisture‑resistant stretch film and corner guards; optional desiccant packets can be added upon request.
• What is the typical production lead time? For standard specifications, lead time is 10‑15 working days after receipt of confirmed purchase order; customized items add 5‑7 days.
• How are samples arranged? Sample boxes (up to 5 planks) are shipped via express courier at the recipient’s expense; sample request should include delivery address and preferred courier account.
