In the field of modern architectural decoration, there is a wide variety of choices for floor decoration materials. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the increasing demand of people for aesthetics and practicality, floor film, especially PVC floor film, has become more and more popular in the market due to its excellent performance, rich colors and relatively affordable prices. It is widely used in various places, and can be seen everywhere from residential homes to commercial spaces. However, in the process of using PVC floor film, it is inevitable to encounter some problems. Next, let's explore the common problems and solutions together.

Bubbles and Wrinkles

It is a relatively common problem that bubbles or wrinkles appear on the PVC floor film after installation. The formation of bubbles is mainly because the air between the film and the ground is not completely squeezed out during the laying process. For example, if the ground is not thoroughly cleaned and there are dust, particles and other debris, it will hinder the close adhesion between the film and the ground, thus forming bubbles. In addition, laying the film too quickly can also easily trap air. Wrinkles may be caused by inaccurate sizing during cutting or uneven stretching during the laying process.

To solve the problem of bubbles, if the bubbles are small, you can prick them with a needle, and then use a scraper to squeeze the air out from the edge of the bubble to the center. Then place a heavy object on it until the film adheres firmly to the ground. For larger bubbles, it may be necessary to lift part of the film, re-clean the ground and then lay it again. To avoid wrinkles, when cutting, accurately measure the size of the ground. During the laying process, two people should cooperate, start from one end, slowly and evenly unfold the film, and at the same time use a scraper to scrape it flat from the center to the surroundings to ensure that the film surface is smooth.

Edge Lifting

The edge lifting of the PVC floor film not only affects the aesthetics but may also cause safety hazards such as people tripping over. The reasons for the edge lifting are as follows. On the one hand, the poor quality of the glue may lead to a decrease in its stickiness over time, making it unable to firmly stick to the edge of the film. On the other hand, environmental factors such as changes in ground humidity and temperature fluctuations can also cause the film to expand and contract with heat and cold, resulting in edge lifting.

To repair the edge lifting, first check the glue condition of the lifted part. If it is a glue problem, carefully lift the lifted part, clean the old glue, then apply high-quality special glue, re-paste the film back to the ground, and use a heavy object to press it tightly and wait for the glue to dry completely. To prevent such problems from happening again, you can appropriately increase the amount of glue applied to the edge of the film, and try to keep the temperature and humidity of the indoor environment relatively stable after installation.

Color Difference and Fading

The problems of color difference and fading will seriously affect the aesthetics and consistency of the PVC floor film. The reason for the color difference may be that there are slight differences in pigment mixing during the production process of different batches of products. Fading is usually caused by factors such as long-term exposure to direct sunlight and chemical erosion.

To solve the color difference problem, try to choose the same batch of PVC floor film when purchasing. If a color difference has already appeared, for areas with a smaller area, it can be remedied by replacing the film pieces with similar colors around. For the fading problem, avoid exposing the floor film to sunlight for a long time, and you can install curtains for shielding. If it has already faded, you can consider using special floor film repair agents for repair. Follow the product instructions for application and treatment, and it can restore the color of the floor film to a certain extent.
