What is Composite Flooring?

Composite flooring is the best choice for floors with very high traffic, like offices or hotels, though it can also be used in domestic environments.

Composite flooring mainly refers to a composition that is quite rigid than traditional vinyl as the core is made from stabilizers and limestone.

Composite flooring is our “next generation” flooring type. Additionally, compared to laminate and wood floors, they’re 100% water resistant, thus highly suitable and versatile for all kinds of spaces, including wet rooms in your house like kitchens and bathrooms.

Different Layers of Composite Flooring

Though its ranges mainly depend on the manufacturer, the Composite planks are normally made from the following layers:

• Wear layer – This layer restores authentic color & embossing, thus giving protection from abrasion.
• UV layer – It ensures waterproof performance, stain-resistance, and also prevents fading.
• Core – Highly durable rigid plank core that does not expand or contract with shifts in humidity or temperature
• Bottom layer – Can be foam or cork backing material, which gives cushioning for comfortable under footing.
• Decorative layer – It is a printed wood-looking style.

Benefits of Composite Flooring

The Composite flooring is commonly installed with the click style system, which is very quick to install compared to the traditional tiles – thus making it a favorite choice for DIY homeowners. No nails or glue are needed to install, just cut to size & click in place. Though it lacks durability than traditional tiles, the speed of the installation drives down labour costs hence it makes an amazing flooring choice.

Great insulation and soundproofing capabilities

Even though not one of the most defining features, Composite floors generally have very good soundproofing features and are a noise-minimizing choice to the WPC flooring, thus providing a quiet experience & maximum walking comfort.

Stain-resistant and waterproof

Another big benefit of selecting Composite flooring is it is totally waterproof and stain-resistant. Because of its PVC core layer, the planks will withstand liquids & spills unlike other flooring products out there in the market.

Comfort and Style

Composite has a softer surface compared to other flooring materials like stone or wood. It is highly comfortable underfoot & sound-reducing which is an important trait for several facilities.
