I. Tus neeg ua haujlwm flooring hauv Chicago uas nqa tag nrho peb hauv nws lub tsheb
Chicago tus neeg cog lus ncaj nraim-thiab- kev xeem lub quarter tsis yog ib yam uas nws tau kawm los ntawm kev cob qhia cov chaw tsim khoom. Nws los ntawm txoj haujlwm caij ntuj no hauv Logan Square brownstone uas raug nqi nws peb hnub so ntawm kev rov ua haujlwm dua thiab kev sib raug zoo nrog tus neeg siv khoom uas tsis tau rov qab los. Lub subfloor yog thawj ntoo thuv ntoo pem teb, ib puas thiab kaum xyoo, sanded tiaj tus txaus kom dhau ib qho kev kuaj pom tab sis rippled nrog lub caij nyoog expansion thiab contraction ntawm ib puas xyoo ntawm Chicago winters. Cov hauv pem teb tus neeg siv tau hais rau - ib lub pobzeb khoom kim heev vinyl nrog cov tub ntxhais hloov tau yooj yim - tau poob qis rau hnub nruab. Los ntawm Lub Ib Hlis Ntuj tom ntej, thaum cov av noo hauv tsev poob rau hauv cov tub ntxhais hluas thiab cov ntoo thuv subfloor shrink, LVT planks tau ua raws li txhua qhov ripple nyob rau hauv subfloor zoo li lub tsho nias rau ntawm phab ntsa corrugated. Tus neeg siv khoom hu ua qhov kev tsim khoom tsis raug. Tus neeg cog lus paub tias nws yog qhov yuam kev xaiv cov khoom uas nws yuav tsum tau ntes.
Txoj hauj lwm ntawd tau hloov pauv li cas nws tsim nyog hauv pem teb. Nws tam sim no categorizes resilient plank khoom los ntawm lawv cov tub ntxhais ua li cas thaum lub subfloor hauv qab nws txav. Ib qho yooj yim -core LVT plank txav nrog subfloor - txhua qhov poob, txhua qhov hump, txhua lub caij hloov ntawm cov ntoo hauv qab xov tooj mus rau saum npoo hauv lub hlis. Lub WPC plank, nrog nws cov foamed polymer core, resists qee qhov ntawm qhov kev txav no tab sis compresses nyob rau hauv cov ntsiab lus load - lub tub yees, chav ua noj kob, piano - thiab compression tsis rov qab thaum lub load raug tshem tawm. Ib qho SPC plank, nrog nws cov limestone ntom ntom -polymer core, txuas me me subfloor irregularities yam tsis tau telegraphing lawv thiab tsis compress nyob rau hauv zoo li qub load. Peb cov ntaub ntawv tag nrho zoo sib xws hauv chav ua yeeb yam. Lawv coj txawv txawv ib zaug ntsia, thiab qhov sib txawv yog tag nrho hauv cov tub ntxhais.
II. Dab tsi yog Sab Hauv Txhua Qhov Plank - thiab Vim li cas lub Core txiav txim siab txhua yam ntxiv
Tag nrho peb pawg khoom sib koom ua ke sib koom ua ke. Ib daim duab zoo nkauj luam tawm nqa cov ntoo lossis pob zeb qauv. Lub pob tshab hnav txheej tiv thaiv cov luam tawm los ntawm kev puas tsuaj. Ib txheej txheej tseem ceeb muab cov qauv. Thiab nyob rau hauv feem ntau cov khoom, ib tug txuas underlayment los yog ncoo muab acoustic cais thiab me subfloor smoothing. Cov khaubncaws sab nraud povtseg, cov yeeb yaj kiab luam tawm, thiab cov hauv qab yog qhov ua haujlwm zoo sib xws thoob plaws peb pawg. Lub hauv paus yog qhov uas peb cov ntaub ntawv sib txawv, thiab qhov sib txawv txiav txim siab txhua yam kev ua tau zoo uas tseem ceeb tom qab kev teeb tsa.
1. SPC core.Pob zeb yas sib xyaw - kwv yees li rau caum mus rau xya caum feem pua limestone hmoov raug tshem tawm hauv polyvinyl chloride matrix nrog kev pab ua haujlwm thiab cov stabilizers. Lub limestone yog cov qauv tsim. Nws ua rau lub plank ntom, hnyav rau nws thickness, thiab dimensionally ruaj khov nyob rau hauv kub viav vias. Ib qho SPC plank hnyav li ob npaug ntawm qhov WPC plank ntawm tib qhov hnyav hnyav, thiab qhov hnyav ntawd txhais ncaj qha rau hauv kev cuam tshuam -damping huab hwm coj thiab tsis kam rau indentation. Kev lag luam tawm -tawm yog tias SPC xav tias nyuaj dua li WPC - tsawg dua kev zam txim ntawm cov pob qij txha rau ib tus neeg uas sawv hauv chav ua noj rau ib teev ntawm ib lub sijhawm. Qhov kev ruaj ntseg ntawm qhov SPC plank txhais tau hais tias lub hauv paus ntab npog ntau pua square feet nyob twj ywm hauv qhov kub ntawm peb caug degrees Celsius yam tsis muaj buckling ntawm ib puag ncig los yog gapping ntawm seams. Qhov kev nthuav dav qhov sib txawv tau teev tseg los ntawm cov chaw tsim khoom, feem ntau yog ib lub hlis twg rau ib nrab nti ntawm chav tsev ib puag ncig, absorbs tag nrho cov thermal txav ntawm hauv pem teb.
2. WPC core.Ntoo yas composite - ntoo hmoov los yog ntoo fiber ntau nrog PVC thiab ib tug foaming tus neeg sawv cev uas qhia cov cua hlwb rau hauv cov tub ntxhais thaum extrusion. Qhov tshwm sim yog ib qho tuab, sib zog ua ke nrog lub ntsej muag softer thiab zoo dua acoustic cais dua li SPC. Lub thickness ntawm WPC plank, feem ntau yog rau mus rau yim millimeters lossis ntau dua, ua rau nws hnov zoo heev hauv qab thiab tso cai rau kev sib sib zog nqus embossing ntawm qhov chaw zoo nkauj. Kev lag luam tawm - tawm yog qhov ruaj khov thiab indentation tsis kam. Lub foamed polymer qauv compresses nyob rau hauv sustained hnyav loads. Lub tub yees zaum ntawm WPC pem teb rau rau lub hlis yuav ua rau muaj kev nyuaj siab mus tas li uas tsis zoo thaum lub cuab yeej txav mus. Cov hmoov nplej ntoo hauv cov tub ntxhais, thaum encapsulated hauv PVC, qhia txog qhov me me tab sis tsis xoom ya raws rhiab heev - lub plank yuav qhia me ntsis nthuav dav thiab contraction hla cov av swings dua li SPC plank. Nyob rau hauv ib tug conditioned qhov chaw nyob, qhov sib txawv yog tswj tau. Hauv chav hnub ci lossis peb lub caij ntuj sov - lub caij ntuj sov qhov chaw qhov kub thiab av noo hloov raws caij nyoog, qhov sib txawv tuaj yeem pom ntawm cov seams.
3. LVT tub ntxhais.Khoom kim heev vinyl pobzeb, nyob rau hauv nws niaj hnub nruj -cov tub ntxhais incarnation, siv cov khoom PVC core yam tsis muaj cov ntxhia muab tub lim ntawm SPC lossis cov foaming agents ntawm WPC. Lub plank hloov tau yooj yim dua li SPC lossis WPC - nws tuaj yeem khoov ntawm tes, uas SPC tsis tuaj yeem - thiab qhov yooj yog ob qho tib si nws qhov zoo thiab nws qhov kev txwv. Flexibility ua rau LVT ua kom haum rau lub subfloor uas twb tiaj tus heev, thiab nws ua rau lub plank yooj yim txiav thiab haum nyob ib ncig ntawm lub qhov rooj casings thiab cov phab ntsa tsis sib xws. Flexibility kuj txhais tau hais tias LVT yuav xov tooj rau txhua qhov subfloor imperfection uas tus installer tsis kho ua ntej nteg cov planks. Cov khoom siv tsis txuas qhov khoob. Nws drapes tshaj lawv. Rau lub subfloor uas tau ua kom zoo li qib - tiaj tus mus rau hauv peb- kaum rau ntawm ib nti tshaj kaum taw - LVT ua tau zoo thiab raug nqi tsawg dua SPC lossis WPC. Rau lub subfloor uas yog ib yam dab tsi tsawg dua li tus qauv, LVT yog cov khoom siv feem ntau yuav tsim kom muaj kev hu rov qab.
Peb hom tseem ceeb, ntsuas kom pom qhov sib txheeb ze. Lub SPC core, ntawm kwv yees li ob zaug ntawm qhov ceev ntawm WPC core, muab cov rigidity uas txuas me me subfloor irregularities. WPC tub ntxhais huab cua- qauv cell muab acoustic thiab underfoot kev nplij siab ntawm tus nqi ntawm indentation kuj. LVT core qhov hloov pauv ua rau nws ua tau raws - thiab subfloor- nyob ntawm.
III. Kev Xeem Subfloor Uas Txiav Tawm Ob Cov Khoom Ua ntej koj qhib lub thawv
Chicago tus neeg cog lus ncaj nraim -flashlight-lub quarter xeem yog ib qho kev ntxhib los ntawm qhov sib piv ntawm cov ntsiab lus flatness uas cov tuam txhab lag luam luam tawm hauv lawv cov lus qhia kev teeb tsa. Cov kev qhia tshwj xeeb - tiaj tus mus rau hauv peb- kaum rau ntawm ib nti tshaj kaum- ko taw ncua - yog tib tus lej thoob plaws peb pawg khoom siv, vim tias nias - xauv qhov sib koom ua ke siv los ntawm tag nrho peb pawg xav tau tib lub subfloor kam rau ua kom nyob twj ywm hauv ko taw. Tab sis tus naj npawb txhais tau tias sib txawv rau txhua yam khoom.
Yog hais tias lub subfloor ua tau raws li tus qauv flatness - tshiab pob zeb, leveled plywood kom zoo, ib tug slab uas yog av thiab leveled ua ntej lub flooring down - tag nrho peb cov ntaub ntawv yuav ua. Kev teeb tsa yuav ua tiav tsis hais hom tseem ceeb, thiab kev xaiv ntawm SPC, WPC, thiab LVT dhau los ua kev xaiv txog kev xav hauv qab, suab sib kis, cov khoom siv, thiab kev nyiam ntawm tus kheej. Tus neeg cog lus Chicago yuav nruab qhov khoom twg tus neeg siv khoom xav tau, thiab nws yuav tsis cia siab tias yuav hu rov qab.
Yog hais tias lub subfloor tsis tau raws li tus qauv flatness - qub ntoo thuv boards, ib tug slab nrog ib tug siab qhov chaw ntawm ib tug yav dhau los pobzeb installation, ib tug plywood seam uas tsis sanded flush - peb cov ntaub ntawv diverge. Lub LVT plank yuav ua raws li qhov tsis sib xws, thiab qhov tsis sib xws yuav pom ntawm qhov chaw tsis pub dhau lub hli raws li lub voj voog, lub plhaw, lossis lub seam uas qhib vim hais tias lub plank ntawm ib sab ntawm qhov tsis sib xws yog dabtsi yog khoov thaum lub plank nyob rau sab nraud yog tiaj tus thiab nias - xauv qhov sib koom ua ke ntawm lawv yog raug thov kom tsis txhob txuas qhov ntsug. WPC plank yuav ncua qhov tsis sib xws thaum xub thawj, tab sis yog tias qhov tsis sib xws yog qhov chaw siab, lub plank yuav pob zeb rau ntawm nws - ib qho txiaj ntsig zoo - thiab kev rov ua dua tshiab -induced rocking will loosen the click- xauv pob qij txha nyob ib ncig ntawm qhov chaw siab, tsim ib qho chaw tsis ua hauj lwm hauv cheeb tsam uas cov phiaj xwm sib cais. SPC plank yuav ncua qhov tsis sib xws yam tsis muaj pob zeb, tsis ua raws, thiab tsis muaj xov tooj ntawm qhov tsis sib xws rau saum npoo - muab qhov tsis sib xws yog nyob rau hauv lub plank txoj kev muaj peev xwm, uas rau tsib -millimeter SPC plank tshaj qhov chaw siab yog kwv yees li qhov siab ntawm peb lub hlis twg hauv tus neeg cog lus. Yog tias qhov tsis sib xws dhau ntawm cov phiaj xwm kev txwv, txawm tias SPC yuav ua tsis tiav, tab sis qhov pib ntawm qhov tsis ua haujlwm tshwm sim yog siab dua rau SPC dua li lwm yam khoom siv. Qhov kev sib txawv ntawd yog qhov uas tus neeg cog lus Chicago tau sim nrog nws qhov ncaj thiab lub quarter.
Qhov no tsis yog kev lag luam hais txog cov khoom lag luam superiority. Nws yog lub cev qhov tshwm sim ntawm qhov tseem ceeb ntom ntom. Cov khoom siv denser resists dabtsi yog khoov ntau dua li cov khoom siv ntom ntom. Limestone yog denser dua foamed PVC, uas yog denser dua li cov khoom siv PVC. Lub subfloor kam rau ua uas txhua yam khoom telegraphs subfloor rau saum npoo yog inversely proportional rau cov tub ntxhais ceev. Cov khoom siv nrog cov tub ntxhais siab tshaj plaws - SPC - yog cov khoom siv zaum kawg ua tsis tau raws li cov subfloor zuj zus.
IV. Ib sab los ntawm sab hla tus lej uas teeb meem tom qab kev teeb tsa

Lub rooj nthuav tawm peb - txoj kev lag luam tawm - tawm. WPC muab qhov zoo tshaj plaws hauv qab kev nplij siab thiab qhov tsis zoo tshaj plaws indentation kuj. SPC muab qhov zoo tshaj plaws qhov ntev stability thiab subfloor bridging thiab lub firmest xav tias underfoot. LVT muab cov khoom siv qis tshaj plaws thiab qhov siab tshaj plaws subfloor rhiab heev. Chicago tus neeg cog lus txoj hauv kev - sim lub subfloor ua ntej, xaiv cov khoom thib ob - yog qhov tseeb, thiab lub rooj piav qhia vim li cas tsis muaj ib qho khoom yeej ib txhij txhua qhov ntev.
V. Kev Tshawb Fawb Kev Tshawb Fawb Kev Tshawb Fawb
Xav txog qhov ua tiav hauv qab daus hauv ib lub tsev nrog lub twj tso kua mis. Lub twj tso kua mis tsis tau ua tsis tiav, tab sis cov av noo hauv qab daus yog nyob ib ncig ntawm rau caum feem pua ntawm Lub Rau Hli mus txog Lub Cuaj Hli vim tias cov phab ntsa hauv paus yog pob zeb thiab pob zeb ua pa ya raws huab cua sab hauv. Tus tswv tsev xav hloov cov ntaub pua plag nrog cov ntaub pua plag zoo. Lub subfloor yog cov pob zeb ua pob zeb uas tau nchuav peb caug xyoo dhau los - tiaj tus txaus, tab sis tsis zoo tag nrho, nrog me ntsis nthwv dej ze ntawm qhov nruab nrab ntawm chav tsev uas cov slab tau nyob rau ntau xyoo lawm.
Ib qho SPC plank ntsia saum lub subfloor no nrog lub vapor-barrier underlayment yuav ntab rau ntawm lub slab yam tsis tau nqus cov dej noo los ntawm cov pob zeb. The dense mineral core will bridge the slight wave in the slab and the surface will read as flat to anyone walking across the room. Cov khoom yuav tsis o, khob, los yog delaminate tsis hais cov av noo theem saum toj los yog hauv qab. Qhov sib txawv ntawm qhov ib puag ncig yuav nqus cov thermal txav thoob plaws hauv qab daus qhov kub thiab txias - kwv yees li kaum degrees Celsius los ntawm lub caij ntuj no mus rau lub caij ntuj sov - thiab cov seams yuav kaw.
Lub WPC plank ntsia rau hauv tib lub hauv qab daus yuav hnov zoo dua hauv qab taw ntawm lub caij ntuj no thaum sawv ntxov dua li SPC plank - warmer, softer, ntau zam txim. Kev lag luam tawm - tawm yog tias cov hmoov ntoo hauv cov tub ntxhais qhia txog cov dej me me heev - teb qhov loj me uas SPC core tsis muaj. Tshaj xyoo dhau los ntawm rau caum- feem pua ntawm lub caij ntuj sov av noo, WPC plank yuav nthuav me ntsis ntau dua li SPC plank yuav, thiab yog tias tus installer txiav qhov kev nthuav dav mus rau tus qauv SPC specification es tsis yog qhov dav WPC specification, hauv pem teb yuav buckle ntawm ntug ntev ntawm chav tsev thaum lub sij hawm thawj ncua sijhawm ntub dej. Qhov raug xam qhov dav dav dua daws qhov no. Tus neeg cog lus uas kho WPC thiab SPC raws li kev sib hloov ntawm qhov dav dav tsim cov xwm txheej rau kev hu rov qab.
Ib qho LVT plank ntsia rau hauv tib lub hauv qab daus yuav ua tsis tiav ntawm nthwv dej hauv cov slab. Cov tub ntxhais hloov tau yooj yim yuav drape rau hauv lub dip es tsis txhob hla nws, thiab cov planks ntawm ob sab ntawm lub dip yuav tsim ib qho ntsug offset ntawm cov seams uas nias -lock sib koom ua ke tsis tuaj yeem khaws cia. Tsis pub dhau ib xyoos ntawm kev taug kev ko taw, cov seams ntawm cov nplais - qhov chaw nthwv dej yuav sib cais pom. Qhov kho - sib tsoo lub slab tiaj ua ntej kev teeb tsa - tus nqi ntau dua li tus nqi sib txawv ntawm LVT thiab SPC rau tib lub square footage. Cov khoom uas raug nqi tsawg los yuav yuav kim dua rau kev txhim kho kom raug.
Qhov kev xav hauv qab daus ua rau qhov kev txiav txim siab meej. Yog tias lub subfloor zoo meej, xaiv ib qho ntawm peb cov ntaub ntawv raws li kev xav hauv qab thiab cov khoom siv nyiaj txiag. Yog tias lub subfloor muaj qhov tsis sib xws thiab cov peev nyiaj tsis them tag nrho, SPC yog cov khoom siv feem ntau yuav zam txim rau qhov subfloor tsis tuaj yeem muab. Yog hais tias underfoot warmth thiab acoustic nyob ntsiag to yog qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws thiab lub subfloor yog tiaj tus, WPC yog qhov kev xaiv raug cai thiab xis nyob. Yog tias cov peev nyiaj yog qhov kev tswj hwm qhov sib txawv thiab lub subfloor yog tiag tiag tiaj tus - thiab tus installer xyuas nws nrog ib tug straightedge, tsis nrog ib tug pom kev taug kev-los ntawm - LVT ua hauj lwm thiab txuag nyiaj. Chicago tus neeg cog lus peb -feeb xeem muaj nyob los txiav txim siab seb qhov twg ntawm cov xwm txheej no siv rau chav nyob hauv nqe lus nug, ua ntej ib lub phiaj xwm raug txiav txim.
