OEM Tile Look Vinyl Plank Flooring Manufacturer
Product Overview
Our manufacturing process produces vinyl plank flooring that replicates the visual texture of natural stone or ceramic tile while retaining the resilience and installation advantages of PVC‑based flooring. The core consists of a calcium‑zinc stabilized PVC compound, overlaid with a high‑definition photographic layer and a wear‑resistant top coat.
Standard plank dimensions are 1220 mm length × 180 mm width, with thickness options ranging from 4.0 mm to 6.5 mm depending on the wear layer specification.
Construction & Material Composition
- Backing layer: 0.5 mm PVC sheet with fiberglass reinforcement for dimensional stability.
- Core layer: calcium‑zinc PVC compound, density 1.42 g/cm³, providing impact resistance and low thermal expansion.
- Design layer: rotogravure printed film with 0.15 mm thickness, reproducing tile patterns at 300 dpi resolution.
- Wear layer: UV‑cured polyurethane coating, thickness 0.30 mm (commercial) or 0.50 mm (industrial), providing abrasion resistance per EN 660‑2.
All layers are laminated under high pressure (≈15 bar) and temperature (≈130 °C) to ensure bond integrity and eliminate delamination.

Applications
The tile‑look visual combined with vinyl durability makes the product suitable for environments where ceramic tile would be prone to cracking or where rapid installation is required.
- Commercial retail floors – high foot traffic, need for low‑maintenance surface.
- Hospitality lobbies and corridors – ability to mimic stone while providing acoustic comfort.
- Healthcare facilities – seamless installation, chemical resistance, and low VOC.
- Educational institutions – impact resistance for moving furniture and equipment.
- Industrial workshops – resistance to oils, chemicals, and thermal cycling.
Each application benefits from the product’s dimensional stability, which reduces grout‑line cracking and eliminates the need for substrate leveling typical of rigid tile.
Customization Options
Manufacturers can tailor visual, dimensional, and performance attributes to match specific project specifications.
- Pattern selection: library of over 150 tile designs (marble, travertine, slate, porcelain) with custom print‑on‑demand capability.
- Wear layer thickness: 0.20 mm to 0.60 mm, adjustable for light residential to heavy industrial use.
- Edge profiling: square, beveled, or micro‑bevel for varying joint aesthetics.
- Surface embossing depth: 0.05 mm to 0.20 mm to simulate natural texture.
- Additives: antimicrobial agents, static dissipative compounds, or enhanced UV stabilizers upon request.
All customizations are subject to minimum order quantities and tooling lead times, which are provided during quotation.
Quality Control & Testing
Each production lot undergoes inline and off‑line verification to ensure conformity with international standards and customer specifications.
- Incoming raw material inspection: PVC resin melt flow index, filler content, and plasticizer concentration.
- Layer adhesion test: peel strength ≥ 1.8 N/mm (ISO 24345).
- Dimensional inspection: length, width, thickness tolerance ±0.1 mm.
- Surface abrasion resistance: Taber abrasion cycles per EN 660‑2.
- Chemical spot test: resistance to iso‑propyl alcohol, bleach, and oil for 24 h exposure.
- Final visual inspection: color ΔE < 2.0 against approved sample.
Non‑conforming material is quarantined and investigated per corrective action procedure (CAPA) before release.
Packaging & Logistics
Finished planks are packed to protect edges and surfaces during transit and storage.
- Carton dimensions: 1240 mm (L) × 190 mm (W) × 100 mm (H) (holds 10 planks).
- Pallet configuration: 48 cartons per pallet, stacked two‑high, stretch‑wrapped.
- Moisture barrier: inner polyethylene liner to prevent humidity ingress.
- Labeling: barcode, lot number, product code, and handling instructions.
Export shipments comply with ISPM‑15 wood‑free packaging regulations; cartons are marked with appropriate handling symbols.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the plank dimensions be customized?
- Yes. Length, width, and thickness can be adjusted within the limits of our extrusion dies; new tooling may be required for sizes outside the standard range.
- What information is needed for a quotation?
- Required details include: desired pattern or custom artwork, wear layer thickness, total square footage, delivery destination, and any special additive requests.
- Which wear layer thicknesses are available?
- Standard options are 0.20 mm, 0.30 mm, 0.40 mm, 0.50 mm, and 0.60 mm. Intermediate values can be achieved by adjusting coating parameters.
- How is product quality verified before shipment?
- Each lot undergoes the QC checklist outlined above; a certificate of analysis (CoA) is provided with every shipment.
- What packaging methods protect the flooring during long‑haul transport?
- Planks are packed in corrugated cartons with internal polyethylene liners, stacked on pallets, and stretch‑wrapped. Corner boards and edge protectors are added upon request.
