• composite deck planks

(1) Many people choose composite flooring mainly because it has better anti-slip properties. Many wooden floors on the market have embossed surface, which increases resistance to a certain extent. It also feels relatively soft and comfortable.

(2) The composite floor is a natural material, the surface layer has been specially treated, and its hardness is very strong, even if it is scraped with a sharp key, it will not leave a trace. Its original color is the best medium to reflect the texture of natural materials.

(3) Easy to care: In normal use and maintenance, just wipe it with a dry and wet cloth or mop. If the oil stains on the floor, use a cloth with a small amount of detergent to wipe it. The wear-resistant layer on the surface of the composite floor has good wear resistance, compression resistance, impact resistance, fire resistance, flame retardancy, and chemical pollution resistance.

• Ceramic tiles

(1) Fireproof, waterproof, easy to clean, simple to maintain, and environmentally-friendly. There are many sizes and colors. There will be more choices, which suits the aesthetics of most consumers.

(2) Good thermal conductivity. After the floor heating is turned on in the winter in the north, the indoor temperature rises quickly through the heat conduction through the ceramic tiles, and you are no longer afraid of the cold winter.

(3) It is not easy to hide pollution and has no air pollutants. Long service life, generally can be used for 10-20 years. Get to know more details about composite outdoor flooring.

(1) Improper maintenance of composite flooring is easy to deform and warp, and the cracks in the floor will become larger and cracked with the increase of use time, including the so-called thermal expansion and contraction, and the cracking of the floor will become prominent and unsightly.

(2) Some cheap  composite deck planks on the market will use glue during the production process. This kind of glue contains high formaldehyde content, which will have a great impact on people’s health.

(3) The repairability of the composite floor is poor. If it is soaked in water or severely scratched, the internal wooden structure will be destroyed. The composite floor completely loses its proper function and cannot be repaired.

• Ceramic tiles

(1) It is not slip resistant when exposed to water, because the surface is polished, and the slip resistance is not as good as that of wooden floors. Especially for families with elderly or children at home, try not to choose ceramic tiles as they are prone to falling.

(2) The ceramic tiles have a hard texture, especially those who like barefoot in winter, will make the interior feel cold.
