Qingdao, China – In the architecture and interior design industry, the demand for floor solutions that combine ultimate durability, rapid installation efficiency and high-end aesthetics has never been more urgent. Traditional materials often struggle to balance these three aspects, leading to compromises in project cost, schedule or final outcome. APT Surface Solutions, a leading building materials manufacturer headquartered in Qingdao, announced today that its fully upgraded new generation of SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring series has been officially launched in the global market, aiming to set a new benchmark for floor materials for commercial projects such as hotels, retail, and offices through a series of breakthrough technological innovations.
Starting from the pain points: Solving the core challenges of commercial projects
The floors of commercial Spaces are facing severe tests such as high foot traffic, damp environments, frequent cleaning and tight schedules. The R&D team of APT has delved deeply into these challenges and focused the core upgrades of the new generation of SPC flooring on three dimensions: substrate stability, installation system efficiency, and surface aesthetic authenticity.
Super waterproof and stable core: The newly upgraded thickened SPC rigid base material is made of high-density mineral stone powder and polymer materials, achieving 100% complete waterproofing
The core layer can completely prevent water vapor from penetrating, thoroughly solving the pain points of traditional wooden floors such as easy deformation and mold growth in areas like restaurants, hotel lobbies or basements. Meanwhile, its outstanding thermal stability ensures that the product has an extremely low expansion rate under temperature differences, making it perfectly compatible with floor heating systems.
Fast and precise locking system: Time is cost
APT has innovatively developed a “one-click” precision locking system. The modular slats can achieve seamless splicing, and the installation efficiency is increased by up to 40% compared with the traditional method. This not only significantly reduces labor costs, but also supports the project’s quick installation demand of “construction at night and operation during the day”, minimizing the interruption time of commercial operations.
High-definition synchronous embossing and scratch-resistant coating
To break the stereotype that SPC flooring is “unattractive”, APT has applied high-definition digital printing and synchronous micro-embossing technology to precisely replicate the fine textures and touch of oak, walnut, and even natural marble. The commercial-grade wear-resistant layer (AC5/AC6 grade) and enhanced scratch-resistant coating covering the surface can withstand the long-term wear and tear of wheeled office chairs and high heels, remaining as good as new over time.
APT’s new generation of SPC flooring has demonstrated significant advantages
Reduced maintenance costs: The anti-fouling and easy-to-clean surface characteristics are expected to save large properties over 30% in long-term cleaning and maintenance costs.
Project cycle shortening: The rapid installation system helped a 50,000-square-meter commercial complex project complete the ground engineering 15 days ahead of schedule.
Sustainability contribution: The products adopt eco-friendly formulas, and the proportion of recyclable components in some series exceeds 30%, helping projects obtain green building certifications.
Empowering Global Partners: More than just product supply
What we sell is not just flooring, but a proven commercial floor solution. The director of international business of GwinSurface Solutions said, “From free samples and renderings in the early stage of the project, to providing detailed technical parameters and installation video support, and to ensuring stable global supply chain delivery, we are committed to being a trusted strategic partner. Help designers, developers and contractors turn their ideas into reality without any loss.
Outlook and Acquisition
With the recovery and upgrading of global commercial real estate, the demand for high-performance and low-maintenance building materials will continue to grow. The new generation of APT SPC flooring series is now open for consultation and sample application to developers, design firms and distributors worldwide.
