How LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) is made?

Chemical Composite of LVT

includes polyninyl chloride resines (PVC) and calcium carbonate.
its primary component is PVC vinyl, which makes LVT dimensionally stable and flexible.

uses a series of heated rollers to “roll or squeeze” the compound into a continuous sheet.
by manipulating the rolls, the width and thickness of the sheet can be controlled with precise accuracy and consistency.
once the sheet is passed through the heated rolls, it is then sent through a cooling section and sent to lamination.

several layers are fused together under heat and pressure.vinyl backing – sound absorbing layer with textured grip
vinyl core – stability layer for indentation resistance
print film layer (with your chosen design) – realistic photograph or 3D visuals that can be installed to resemble ceramic or stone.
protective clear layer known as “wear layer” – plays crucial role in the lifespan of the tiles.

once all the layers are fully formed.
under heat and pressure, engraved rollers apply the textured design onto the face of the product, which can be light or deep emboss.
then the scratch and scuff Top Coat will be applied.
the whole slab pass through an annealing oven that uses heated air which brings the entire slab’s temperature to a point where any stress between the layers can be relieved.
the slab is then let cooled down.
the slabs are palletized and taken to inspection.

slabs are stored in an air controlled room that will maintain the same temperature year round.
the room keeps the product in a uniform state for milling process.
technicians inspect each slab for mark defective areas.
the non-defective slabs will be loaded into the press where product sizes are determined.
the slabs are sent to milling.
the product is boxed, wrapped, stacked on pallet and ready for shipment.
