tile floor

Vinyl tiles are rigid and hard. Frequently PVC is just a surface coating adhered to a support made of another material. Its characteristics are great stability against various chemical agents, tightness, resistance to abrasion, low conductivity and ease of cleaning and maintenance. Like continuous floors, they can have different types of colors and patterns, but unlike the former, they are usually solid colors.

SEMIconductive floor

SEMI-CONDUCTIVE floors and pavements are those that allow the accumulated static voltage to be evacuated or dissipated so that it is less than 20 kilovolts and consequently the risk of sparks is eliminated.

Electrostatic discharge caused by normal human activity (walking, sitting in chairs, pushing wheelbarrows or other objects, working on workbenches, etc.) can create static voltages of up to 20 KV. This value seems very high when compared to the 220 V AC voltage that we use daily. Electric currents for domestic use present high intensities (which can hurt) while electrostatic currents, with a much higher voltage, present very low intensities, levels that are not harmful to humans.

The sensitivity of the human being to these small discharges is around 3-4,000 V, at this level we begin to feel the small “prick”, but even higher voltages (20,000 V as we indicated) will not cause a serious effect.

Sheathing is applied in these cases by CG and DFF given the condition of semiconductivity.

The need to make semi-conductive floors is for two reasons: to protect people from explosions and fires (ECF) and to protect electro-sensitive equipment or elements. (DIF) or (ESD).

continuous floor

Continuous flooring is sold in the form of large rolls, normally with widths between 2 and 4m, and variable lengths (usually around 20m, as longer lengths would make handling the pieces very difficult).

These floors are warm and soft to the touch, and with thicknesses greater than 3mm they present some cushioning. These characteristics, together with their easy cleaning and good adhesion, make them ideal as flooring for children, which is why there are many brands on the market that offer all types of prints, either with drawings or imitating all types of materials and surfaces.

As a drawback, this type of coating does not tolerate heavy weights and punctures relatively easily, making its repair expensive, since to replace the damaged piece it is necessary to remove the entire sheet.
