When installing PVC rolls (also called roll vinyl flooring), there are specific cases where glue is needed, and others where it is not. The decision largely depends on the type of installation, the subfloor condition, and the application area. Here’s a breakdown: Cases Where Glue is Required (Glue-Down Installation) Permanent Installations: Description: PVC rolls are usually glued down when the installation is intended to be long-term and stable. This is the most common method for areas where the flooring needs to stay securely in place without any shifting or buckling. Best for: Commercial spaces, high-traffic areas, kitchens, bathrooms, and other places where stability is key. Common Areas: Commercial settings (hospitals, offices, retail spaces) High-traffic residential spaces (entryways, kitchens) Moisture-prone areas (bathrooms, laundry rooms) Uneven Subfloors: Description: If the subfloor is uneven or there are dips and peaks, glue-down installation ensures that the PVC sheet remains secure and even. Glue helps prevent the flooring from moving or shifting in these irregular areas. Best for: Subfloors that are not perfectly smooth (e.g., plywood, concrete with imperfections). High Moisture Environments: Description: In areas prone to high moisture (like bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms), using adhesive provides a strong bond to the subfloor, reducing the risk of water seeping under the vinyl and causing damage. Best for: Moisture-prone rooms where stability and waterproofing are crucial. Heavy Traffic Areas: Description: In spaces that experience a lot of foot traffic, such as public spaces or commercial buildings, gluing down PVC rolls ensures the floor stays in place and doesn’t wrinkle or shift. Best for: Commercial spaces, high-traffic areas, and places that need extra durability. Examples: hospitals, schools, shopping malls, offices, sports halls   Cases Where Glue is Not Needed (Loose-Lay or Floating Installation) Temporary or Removable Installations: Description: In cases where the flooring may need to be replaced or moved (such as in rented spaces or temporary installations), loose-lay vinyl sheets are an option. These sheets rely on their own weight and friction to stay in place, eliminating the need for adhesive. Best for: Temporary flooring or rental properties where easy removal or replacement is desired. Smooth, Level Subfloors: Description: If the subfloor is perfectly smooth and level, some PVC rolls come with an adhesive backing that allows the sheet to be installed without additional glue. The backing adheres to the subfloor directly, and the vinyl stays in place. Best for: Level subfloors such as smooth concrete or plywood, where the adhesive backing can create a strong enough bond. Floating Installation with No Adhesive: Description: Some PVC rolls are designed to be installed in a floating manner, especially when the vinyl is engineered with a bac...

Full Names: LVT: Luxury Vinyl Tile SPC: Stone Plastic Composite ( Stone Polymer Composite) Differences Between LVT and SPC Flooring   Core Material: LVT: The core is made from flexible vinyl material, allowing it to bend and mold around minor imperfections in the subfloor. This makes it more comfortable to walk on but can make it less durable compared to SPC in high-impact areas. SPC: The core is made from a mixture of limestone powder and PVC, giving it a rigid structure. This provides better stability, making SPC flooring more resistant to dents and impacts. It’s highly stable and resistant to expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.   Durability & Performance: LVT: Generally more flexible and slightly less durable than SPC, especially in high-traffic or high-moisture areas. The flexibility of LVT makes it more susceptible to damage from sharp objects or heavy furniture unless it's supported by a solid underlayment. SPC: The rigid core gives SPC flooring a high level of durability. It is resistant to dents, impacts, and moisture, making it better suited for high-traffic commercial areas or spaces with heavy furniture or appliances. It also provides superior stability in areas with fluctuating temperatures.   Water Resistance: LVT: Most LVT flooring is highly water-resistant but may still have seams or edges that allow water to seep through if not properly sealed. It’s typically water-resistant but not fully waterproof unless specified by the manufacturer. SPC: Completely waterproof, making it ideal for wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. The rigid core prevents moisture from affecting the flooring, and any water spilled on the surface is unlikely to cause damage.   Comfort & Sound Insulation: LVT: The softer, flexible core provides more comfort underfoot and better sound insulation compared to SPC, especially if the LVT has a cushioned backing or underlayment. SPC: Because of its rigid structure, SPC flooring tends to be less cushioned and can feel harder underfoot. However, it can be paired with an underlayment for improved comfort and soundproofing.   Installation: LVT: Available in different formats like glue-down, click-lock, or loose-lay. It’s easier to install and can be a DIY-friendly option, particularly if you choose click-lock or loose-lay LVT. SPC: Typically installed using a click-lock system, making it easy for DIY installations. Since it doesn’t require glue, it’s relatively quick to install. The rigid core makes it easier to handle during installation.   Price: LVT: Generally more affordable compared to SPC, especially for residential use. The price can vary based on thickness, design, and brand, but overall, LVT tends to be the budget-friendly option. SPC: SPC is slightly more expensive due to the rigid core material and its superior durability. However, it’s still relatively affordable compared to other high...

Installing vinyl flooring on a basketball court involves several key steps to ensure a smooth, durable, and professional finish. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the process:   Materials and Tools Needed: Weld line Welding torch Slotter Adhesive suitable for vinyl flooring Measuring tape Utility knife or vinyl cutter Roller (preferably a heavy-duty one) Trowel Chalk line or laser level   Steps for Installation: Preparation: Inspect the Subfloor: Ensure the subfloor is smooth, level, dry, and clean. Any imperfections can affect the vinyl installation. Clean the Subfloor: Remove any dust, dirt, or grease. Use a degreaser if necessary. Repair the Subfloor: Fill in any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and sand it smooth. Acclimate the Vinyl: Allow the vinyl flooring to acclimate to the room temperature for at least 24 hours. Layout Planning: Measure and Mark: Measure the dimensions of the court and mark the centerlines using a chalk line or laser level. This helps in aligning the vinyl flooring correctly. Dry Lay the Vinyl: Lay out the vinyl pieces without adhesive to ensure proper fit and alignment. Adjust as necessary. Applying Adhesive: Choose the Right Adhesive: Please use special glue (water-based glue) for PVC flooring. Spread the Adhesive: Using a trowel, spread the adhesive evenly on the subfloor. Work in small sections to prevent the adhesive from drying out before you lay the vinyl.After applying the adhesive, you need to have to wait for the water to evaporate, which is about 30-40 minutes. Laying the Vinyl: Start at the Center: Begin laying the vinyl from the center of the court and work your way outwards. This ensures symmetry and reduces visible seams. Press and Smooth: As you lay each section, press it down firmly and smooth out any air bubbles using a roller. A heavy-duty roller works best for this task. Trim Excess Vinyl: Use a utility knife or vinyl cutter to trim any excess material around the edges. Slotting: The gaps between the floors are cut with a grooving machine to create notches. The depth of the grooves is 2/3 of the floor. Sealing Seams: Heat Welding : Heat the welding wire with a soldering gun to soften the wire and embed it in the floor groove. Ensure a seamless link between the floors. Finishing Touches: Clean the Surface: Once the adhesive has cured, clean the surface of the vinyl with a suitable floor cleaner to remove any residue. Maintenance: Regular Cleaning: Keep the floor clean by regularly sweeping and mopping with a vinyl-safe cleaner. By following these steps, you can ensure a professional installation of vinyl flooring on a basketball court, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing playing surface.

Hospital vinyl flooring is commonly referred to as homogeneous sheet vinyl flooring or heterogeneous sheet vinyl flooring. These types of flooring are designed specifically for healthcare environments due to their durability, ease of cleaning, and ability to maintain a sterile environment. Here’s a brief overview of each:   Homogeneous Vinyl Flooring:   Made of a single layer that is the same composition throughout. Known for its durability and ease of maintenance. Often used in high-traffic areas due to its resistance to wear and tear. Heterogeneous Vinyl Flooring:   Composed of multiple layers, including a printed top layer that can mimic various designs and patterns. Offers more design flexibility while still maintaining durability and ease of cleaning. Both types of flooring often include additional features such as:   Antimicrobial treatments: To reduce the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. Slip resistance: To ensure safety for both patients and staff. Seamless installation: To prevent dirt and bacteria buildup in cracks and crevices. These floors are selected for their ability to withstand the rigorous cleaning and disinfecting processes required in hospital environments.

First, the customer asked to reserve goods In business transactions, customers often have some special needs. For example, some customers come to the inquiry: “Can I reserve a few days of goods?” This is a very common question, the customer may be due to certain reasons, temporarily unable to immediately pick up the goods, but also worried about the desired goods were bought by others, so I hope that the merchant can reserve a period of time for them. Second, the merchant's response and requirements The merchant gave an affirmative reply, “Yes, just let us know when you have reserved the time.” This reflects the importance and positive response of the merchant to the customer's needs. However, the merchant also put forward the corresponding conditions, “reserved products need to pay part of the deposit.” This requirement is reasonable, the deposit can protect the interests of the business to a certain extent, to avoid customers arbitrarily reserved and give up the purchase, resulting in a backlog of goods. Third, pay a deposit and do not pay a deposit comparison   Situation  deposit reserved goods  do not pay a deposit not reserved goods Customer rights and interests  goods in the reserved time for the customer to retain, reduce the risk of being bought by others  goods may be purchased by others at any time, the customer may not be able to get the desired goods Merchants rights and interests  have a certain amount of money to protect, reduce the risk of loss may be due to the customer reserved and then abandoned resulting in a backlog of goods, increasing costs Subsequent transactions The customer picks up the goods as agreed and the transaction goes smoothly  The customer may cancel the transaction because the goods have been bought away   Fourth, the significance and role of the deposit Deposit is not just a sum of money, it has an important meaning and role in business transactions.

"According to the news on the website of the Ministry of Finance on the 11th, the Tariff Commission of the State Council issued a notice today. Starting from April 12th, the additional tariff rate specified in the 'Notice of the Tariff Commission of the State Council on Adjusting the Additional Tariff Measures for Imported Goods Originating from the United States' (Notice No. 5 of the Tariff Commission in 2025) will be adjusted, increasing from 84% to 125%. Given that, at the current tariff level, US goods exported to China have no possibility of being accepted by the market. If the US continues to impose additional tariffs on Chinese goods exported to the US in the future, China will ignore it." Recently, with the continuous adjustment of tariffs, most bulk commodity futures have dropped sharply, and some varieties have reached the daily limit several times. It can be said that the sudden event of imposing additional tariffs caught everyone off guard. However, in the later stage, as the event is digested or develops, prices should still be corrected to some extent, especially for the varieties with gaps in futures, such as PVC. The impact of imposing additional tariffs is more on the import and export side. Since the import volume of PVC is relatively small, we will not conduct a detailed analysis of imports for now, and only look at the situation and impact on the export side. Impact on PVC Exports In 2024, the total export volume of PVC powder in China was approximately 2.6175 million tons. The top five trading partners were India, Vietnam, Thailand, Nigeria, and Uzbekistan. The main export countries and regions were India, Southeast Asia, Africa, etc. The export volume to the United States was not large. Therefore, imposing additional tariffs has little impact on the export of China's PVC raw materials. Impact on the Export of PVC Products China's main exported downstream PVC products mainly include PVC flooring, PVC hard pipes, PVC sheets, films, and PVC flooring products. Through statistics, PVC products are mainly exported to regions such as Europe and the United States, and the export volume to the United States accounts for a significant share. Therefore, imposing additional tariffs will affect the export volume of downstream PVC products, which is somewhat negative for the downstream demand of PVC. In addition, due to the current downturn in the domestic real estate industry and the economic slowdown, it is relatively difficult to sell downstream PVC products domestically. Expanding domestic demand in the later stage is still the key. The following is the export situation of PVC flooring in 2024: PVC Flooring (Accounting for 31.12% of Exports to the United States) PVC flooring is a common home decoration material, which has the characteristics of wear resistance, waterproofing, and easy installation, so there is a large demand in the international market. In 2024, the total export volume of PVC flooring was 4.736 million tons, among whi...
