Comfortable, vinyl flooring is a “elastic” floor, which means that its texture is a bit soft, and
people are not too tired when standing for a long time.
Durable, the vinyl floor surface has a special high-tech processed transparent wear layer. The super-
hard wear layer specially treated on the surface fully guarantees the excellent wear resistance of the
floor material. It can be used for more than 5 years.

roller or a push plate.
Third, after the plate is laid, the cleaning agent is judged to be dry and clean according to the
temperature, and then the joint is welded.

of the same electrode as the material to be welded, and the temperature of the hot air torch is adjusted
to 180 degrees; – 250 degrees; welding is performed.

the board, and pay attention to not scratching the floor surface during operation.
