Fire Resistance | Hotels, offices, hospitals | Industry: Class E (limited fire resistance) Our Base: ▲ Class B (EN 13501-1) Our Advanced: ▲▲ Class A (EN 13501-1) | Enhances safety in high-traffic areas; meets building codes for commercial spaces | Advanced versions may require thicker panels, increasing material costs |
Waterproofing | Bathrooms, kitchens, wet areas | Industry: Water absorption ≥0.5% (ASTM D570) Our Base: ▲ <0.5% Our Advanced: ▲▲ <0.3% | Prevents mold growth and structural damage in humid environments | Base version requires sealing in extreme humidity scenarios |
Material Composition | Eco-conscious projects, outdoor use | Industry: Basic plastics Our Base: PVC (lightweight, affordable) Our Advanced: ▲▲ WPC (40% recycled wood + plastic) | Advanced offers recyclability and sustainability; Base is cost-effective | Base lacks eco-friendly credentials; Advanced may be heavier |
Sound Absorption | Open-plan offices, theaters, schools | Industry: 15 dB reduction (ISO 140-3) Our Base: ▲ 20 dB Our Advanced: ▲▲ 25 dB | Reduces noise pollution; ideal for acoustic-sensitive spaces | Base insufficient for high-noise environments like industrial zones |
Installation Ease | DIY projects, quick renovations | Industry: Screws/adhesives required Our Base: ▲ Interlocking design Our Advanced: ▲▲ Pre-guided interlocking + snap-fit | Cuts labor costs and installation time; no special tools needed | Base requires precise cutting; Advanced may need alignment tools |
Certifications | Export markets, regulated industries | Industry: Basic CE compliance Our Base: ▲ CE + RoHS Our Advanced: ▲▲ CE + RoHS + EN717-1 (low emissions) | Meets global safety and environmental standards | Base may not qualify for regions requiring EN717-1 (e.g., EU childcare spaces) |
