Multilayer Vinyl: Structure, Technology, and Technical Advantages.
Multilayer vinyl flooring represents a highly specialized covering solution, developed to meet the demands of residential and commercial environments that require high technical performance, comfort, and durability. This type of flooring combines materials engineering with contemporary aesthetics, providing a functional, durable, and efficient installation surface.
Multilayer technology consists of the superposition of different materials, each with a specific role in the performance of the coating
The typical structure includes:
Matte or UV finish: Finishing the wear layer with treatments that increase durability and facilitate maintenance.
Acoustic screen: Lower component that helps attenuate impact noise and vibration, improving the overall acoustic performance of the room.
Rigid core (SPC/WPC/MCA): Provides dimensional stability, warping resistance, and increased load-bearing capacity.
Sound absorption layer (in some models): Enhances sound comfort, especially in MCA typologies.
HD decorative layer: High-definition printed film that simulates natural wood-like patterns, ensuring visual realism.
Wear layer: High-resistance, transparent surface with variable thickness (up to 0.70 mm), which protects against scratches, abrasion, and chemical agents.
Technical Types: SPC, WPC, and MCA
Trevo Floors offers three categories of multilayer vinyl with distinct technical characteristics:
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite)
Composition: calcium carbonate (stone dust) + PVC
Properties: high rigidity, excellent thermal stability, water resistance
Application: ideal for high-traffic areas due to the hard core
Installation: glueless click system
WPC (Wood Plastic Composite)
Composition: wood fibers + polymers
Properties: greater thermal and sound comfort, less rigidity compared to SPC
Application: environments that prioritize underfoot comfort
Installation: click system with good performance on uneven surfaces
MCA (Master Comfort Acoustic)
Composition: Vinyl core with mineral reinforcement + multiple acoustic layers
Total thickness: 9 mm
Wear layer: 0.70 mm
Sound reduction: up to 21 dB
Properties: Premium comfort, excellent acoustic performance, refined design with a matte finish
Compatibility: Suitable for hydraulic underfloor heating
Application: Intensive use in residential and commercial spaces with medium to high traffic
Technical and Functional Advantages
Dimensional stability: Suitable for areas with temperature variations, such as areas with radiant heating.
Noise reduction: Ideal for multi-family buildings or commercial spaces where acoustic comfort is critical
High durability: Thick wear layer and technical finish ensure longevity in demanding environments
Simplified installation: Click-fit system facilitates installation and reduces construction time
Easy maintenance: Water and dirt resistance allows for simple and effective cleaning
