Which is better, PP interlocking Tiles or Silicone Modified Polyurethane flooring？
1. In terms of the requirements of the foundation ground
Silicone Modified Polyurethane court material is a new generation of court surface material developed on the basis of PU court material. The material is scientifically compounded with polyurethane (PU) materials and materials containing silicone components, and the produced materials are used on the court surface layer, which fundamentally and effectively solves the professional performance and environmental protection construction of PU court materials. Inadequate in terms of service life and daily maintenance, it has revolutionary innovative performance.
PP floor mainly uses modified PP (polypropylene) as raw material, which can be widely used in various sports venues, entertainment, leisure, and fitness venues. Compared with the wooden floor, it has more outstanding sports performance, the price is cheaper, and there is basically no need for post-maintenance costs.
PP interlocking garage floor tiles have relatively low requirements for foundation, concrete grades C15 and C20 can be used, no moisture-proof layer is required, the thickness of concrete can be less than 100mm, slight cracks in the foundation have no effect on the use, and the flatness within the range of 3M does not exceed +3MM.
2. In terms of performance
Although Silicone Modified Polyurethane has good sports performance, it does not have the function of lateral buffering. PP floor has good sports performance, its vibration absorption, friction, and other indicators have passed international authoritative standards, and has a good buffer function.
3. In terms of difficulty and time of construction
PP floor has a simple construction process, mature technology, and simple construction, and is not affected by climate. A standard public site can be paved by three or four workers in one day, and it can be put into use after the construction is completed. The construction of Silicone Modified Polyurethane is very cumbersome.
The regular paving needs to go through the processes of grinding, pickling, caulking, rolling primer, sealing the base surface, scraping the elastic layer reinforcement layer, spraying the surface layer, and drawing lines. The construction period is long.
Generally, the construction period of a standard basketball court is at least one week. And there are requirements for climate and high requirements for temperature and humidity. After the site is laid, it needs to be kept for more than 5 days before it can be put into use.
4. In terms of environmental protection
All indicators of the new sports ground floor made of Silicone Modified Polyurethane material meet the sanitary standards for interior decoration and have obtained environmental protection certificates. The product does not produce toxic and harmful substances during use and construction and is a truly environmentally friendly product.
The PP interlocking tiles are mainly made of food-grade polypropylene, which has now been proven to be an environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and renewable resource. Non-toxic, odorless, waterproof, and moisture-resistant, with no parasitic bacteria.
The square floor is made of PP, the ideal complement to any indoor or outdoor area. Perfect for use in garages and gyms, lawns, and other outdoor areas, or even the perfect decoration for events and exhibitions. This tile features an easy-to-clean design and a surface with drain buckles that allow dirt and spills to drain easily from ribbed cracks.
PP floor and Silicone Modified Polyurethane have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose according to your own specific situation, and the one that suits you is the best.
