OEM Luxury Vinyl Tile Wood Look Supplier

Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) combines a polyvinyl chloride core with a photographic wear layer that replicates wood grain at high resolution. For OEM partners, supplying a wood‑look LVT means delivering a flooring product that meets strict dimensional stability, wear resistance, and aesthetic consistency requirements.

Material Composition and Structure

The core is typically a calcium carbonate‑filled PVC formulation, providing rigidity and impact resistance while keeping weight manageable for large‑format tiles. A transparent wear layer, usually 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm thick, protects the printed design from scratches, stains, and UV fading. An embossed surface aligns with the printed grain to create a tactile feel that matches the visual appearance.

Performance Characteristics

Key performance indicators are defined by ASTM standards and include wear layer thickness, indentation resistance, dimensional change after heat exposure, and slip resistance. These values determine suitability for commercial environments such as retail, hospitality, and healthcare facilities.

Customization Options

OEM projects often require adjustments to tile size, wear layer, and surface finish to match brand specifications and installation constraints. These variables are discussed during the quoting phase to ensure tooling and production runs meet the agreed tolerances.

• Tile thickness: 2.0 mm – 5.0 mm (customizable)
• Wear layer: 0.3 mm – 0.7 mm (selectable)
• Emboss depth: light, medium, heavy (to enhance realism)
• Edge profile: square, beveled, micro‑bevel
• Color variation: plank‑to‑plank shade variance (low, medium, high)
• Size formats: 6″ × 36″, 7″ × 48″, 12″ × 24″ (custom lengths available)

Typical Applications

In retail environments, the wood‑look LVT offers a warm visual that withstands heavy foot traffic and frequent cleaning cycles, reducing long‑term maintenance costs. Hospitality projects benefit from the product’s ability to replicate premium hardwood while resisting moisture ingress from spills and cleaning agents. Healthcare installations value the seamless, non‑porous surface that supports infection‑control protocols and can be installed over existing subfloors with minimal preparation.

Quality Assurance and Testing

Quality control begins with incoming raw material testing for PVC purity and filler content, followed by in‑line monitoring of extrusion thickness and wear‑layer adhesion. Finished tiles undergo batch sampling for abrasion resistance (Taber ASTM D4060), dimensional stability (ASTM F2199), and chemical resistance (ASTM F925). Results are logged and compared against specification limits before release for shipment.

Packaging and Logistics

Tiles are stacked in corrugated cartons with edge protectors and shrink‑wrapped to prevent movement during transit. Palletized loads are secured with strapping and corner boards, allowing safe handling by forklift or pallet jack. For export shipments, moisture‑barrier liners and ISPM‑15 compliant pallets are used to meet international regulations.
