Can PVC flooring be used outdoors?

PVC floor is based on polyvinyl chloride and its copolymer resin as the main raw materials, adding fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, colorants and other auxiliary materials, on the sheet continuous substrate, by coating process or by calendering, extrusion or extrusion process production. Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, this material has no affinity with water and is often used as a waterproof material. Therefore, the PVC floor also has excellent waterproof ability, and the foot will feel more astringent when it encounters water! So can PVC flooring be used outdoors? Or to make the roof waterproof?

PVC flooring cannot be used outdoors! When used outdoors, not only the service life will be shortened, but also various phenomena such as fading, drumming, etc., because the outdoor environment and indoor are different, such as sunlight exposure, ultraviolet light, temperature, rain and snow weather and other factors should be taken into account, and what is usually called weather resistance.

PVC is a product with poor weather resistance. A change from white to brown usually occurs. Of course, in the outdoor natural environment, the most is yellow. In addition, PVC floor is not resistant to high temperature, afraid of cigarette butts.

Multi-layer composite PVC floor is a multi-layer structure, generally composed of 4 to 5 layers of structure laminated, wear-resistant layer (including UV treatment), printing film layer, glass fiber layer, substrate layer and so on. If this multi-layer composite floor is used outdoors, the color of the floor will become lighter and distorted, the luster will disappear, and the color will become lighter. There may not be a problem in the short term, but within a year there will be all kinds of anomalies.

Homogeneous transcore PVC floor is homogenous transcore, not layered in structure. From top to bottom, from top to bottom, it's the same color. You can't use this outside, either. If spread outdoors, due to light, rain and other factors, the color will soon change, and will change other patterns (uneven fading), it is very ugly.

In addition, when the PVC floor is resistant to discoloration, there is another problem that it becomes brittle. Due to the rain, it will accelerate the aging of plastics, make PVC floors brittle, and even crack, and the ability to resist impact decreases sharply. To sum up: PVC floor can not be used outdoors, if used outdoors will appear discoloration, brittleness, beauty and service life will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the PVC floor should not only prevent long-term soaking of water during use, but also avoid paving in places where there is often direct sunlight.
