OEM Chevron LVT Click Flooring Factory

Chevron-patterned luxury vinyl tile (LVT) with a click‑lock system combines the visual impact of a V‑shaped design with the speed of floating installation. The product is manufactured in rolls or planks that interlock along the edges, eliminating the need for adhesives while maintaining a tight joint under load.

Typical overall thickness ranges from 4.0 mm to 6.5 mm, with a wear layer between 0.30 mm and 0.55 mm that determines abrasion resistance. The core is usually a high‑density PVC composite reinforced with calcium carbonate for dimensional stability, and a balanced backing layer reduces curling.

Construction & Materials

A five‑layer build‑up is standard: (1) UV‑cured wear layer with aluminum oxide or silicon carbide additives, (2) high‑definition printed film that reproduces the chevron pattern, (3) clear protective film, (4) PVC‑based core filled with mineral fillers, and (5) backing layer with optional acoustic or anti‑static treatment. Each layer is calendared under controlled temperature to ensure uniform bonding.

• Wear layer thickness: 0.30 mm – 0.55 mm (customizable)
• Overall thickness: 4.0 mm – 6.5 mm
• Core density: 1.4 g/cm³ – 1.6 g/cm³

Technical Specifications

Installation System

The angle‑angle click mechanism allows the installer to tilt the plank into the adjacent piece and press downward, creating a mechanical lock that resists lateral movement. No glue or nails are required, which reduces installation time by approximately 30 % compared with glue‑down LVT. The system accommodates minor subfloor unevenness up to 1.5 mm over a 2 m span.

Applications

Chevron LVT is selected where a high‑impact visual pattern is desired without the maintenance burden of natural stone or wood. The floating installation makes it suitable for retrofit projects over existing substrates, while the wear layer provides resistance to rolling loads from carts and foot traffic in retail corridors, hospitality lobbies, and healthcare waiting areas.

• Retail storefronts and boutique aisles
• Hotel lobbies and corridor pathways
• Outpatient clinics and therapy rooms
• Educational facilities with moderate traffic

Quality Control & Testing

Production lines incorporate inline thickness gauges and optical scanners to monitor wear‑layer uniformity. Finished planks undergo taber abrasion testing per EN 660‑2, residual indentation measurement per EN 433, and dimensional stability checks after exposure to 80 °C for 6 h. Batch‑to‑batch variation is kept within ± 0.05 mm for overall thickness.

Customization Options

OEM buyers can specify wear‑layer thickness, core filler ratio, emboss depth, and color palette. The chevron angle (typically 45° or 60°) and plank dimensions are adjustable to match project layouts. Custom logos or bespoke patterns can be printed on the film layer using rotogravure or digital printing.

• Wear layer: 0.30 mm – 0.55 mm
• Core density: 1.2 g/cm³ – 1.8 g/cm³
• Plank length: 800 mm – 2000 mm
• Emboss registration: aligned or random
• Surface finish: matte, satin, or gloss

Packaging & Logistics

Planks are stacked in cartons with a polyethylene slip sheet between layers to prevent surface scratching. Cartons are placed on pallets, stretch‑wrapped, and corner‑protected for container loading. Each carton bears a barcode that includes batch code, thickness, and wear‑layer specification for traceability.

Lead Time & Ordering

Standard production lead time is 3‑4 weeks after receipt of approved artwork and technical specifications. Minimum order quantity varies by width but typically starts at 500 m² per SKU. Samples (full‑size planks) can be shipped via express courier within 5 working days upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can dimensions be customized?

Yes, plank length, width, and thickness are adjustable within the ranges shown in the specifications table.

What information is required before quotation?

Required details include desired wear‑layer thickness, overall thickness, plank dimensions, chevron angle, surface finish, order quantity, and delivery destination.

What materials are available for the core?

Standard core is PVC‑calcium carbonate blend; alternative fillers such as talc or recycled PVC can be supplied upon request.

How is quality inspected?

Each batch undergoes inline thickness monitoring, taber abrasion, residual indentation, and dimensional stability tests; results are retained for three years.

What packaging methods are available?

Standard packaging is cardboard cartons on pallets with stretch film; custom packaging (e.g., reusable crates) can be arranged.

How are export shipments protected?

Pallets are wrapped with UV‑stable stretch film, corner boards are added, and containers are loaded with dunnage bags to prevent shifting.

What is the typical production lead time?

Lead time is generally 3‑4 weeks after sample approval; rush options are available for an additional fee.

How are samples arranged?

Samples are produced from the same tooling as the production run and shipped via express courier with a return label if needed.
