Differences Between Vinyl Flooring’s Foam Bottom and Dense Bottom

The vinyl flooring is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which has five layers including UV coating, wear layer, printed layer, fiber glass, backing layer. The foam and dense bottom belong to the backing layer.
PVC flooring tile just has dense bottom. However, Vinyl Sheet has foam and dense bottom. Commonly, vinyl sheet flooring of less than 2mm are almost dense bottom. 2mm -4mm is foam bottom. Do you know the differences between foam bottom and dense bottom?
1.Price:
Dense bottom has high density, and that need a lot of raw materials. So it is expensive than foam bottom’s vinyl sheet.
2.Performance:
Compare with dense bottom, foam bottom has soft surface and excellent sound absorption and easy to install. However, dense bottom is more wear-resistance, stable and compressive, and that are more suitable for use in large commercial areas such as super market, hospital, hotel etc.

Why PVC Flooring Wire Will Fall Off

Wire off will not only affect the appearance, but also cause vinyl sheets bulging. Do you know the cause of the welding line fall off?

Welded two floors should be fully accessible to ensure that the wire and the vinyl floor has the largest area of bonding. The following pictures are displayed:
Right:

Wrong:

Notice:
*The temperature of the torch should be set at about 350 degrees to dissolve the wire.
*With the appropriate welding speed (to ensure that the wire melting), the electrode will be squeezed into the well into the well and firmly. Then uniformly squeeze the wire into the open slot and stick.
