What is SPC Wall Panel
SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) wall panels are a new type of eco-friendly wall material made from stone powder, PVC resin, and stabilizers through high-temperature extrusion.
They feature waterproof, moisture-proof, wear-resistant, and easy-to-install properties, which is widely for bathroom paneling. The surface offers customizable designs with freely selectable patterns and can be finished with different treatments, including matte and high glossy.
Surface Treatment Options
(1) What is Matte
Matte is a surface finish with a low gloss level (around 5–8), without noticeable reflection. It presents a soft, understated visual effect, creating a calm and elegant atmosphere.
(2) What is High Glossy
High Glossy is a surface finish with a high gloss level (around 85–95), achieved through polishing or coating. It delivers a strong sheen and mirror-like reflective effect, making colors appear more vivid and the space more luxurious.
(3) Matte vs High Glossy Comparison
| Comparison Point | Matte | High Glossy |
|---|---|---|
| Gloss Level | No obvious reflection | Strong mirror reflection |
| Visual Effect | Soft, understated | Bright, luxurious |
| Atmosphere | Steady, cozy | Transparent, spacious |
| Stain Resistance | Good, fingerprints not obvious | Poor, stains easily visible |
| Cleaning Difficulty | Low | High |
How is High Glossy Made?
(1) Roller Coating High Glossy
Roller coating high glossy refers to applying a bright coating or paint onto the substrate surface through roller coating. By evenly coating and then curing or polishing, the surface achieves a high-gloss, mirror-like finish.
(2) Membrane Press High Glossy
Membrane press high glossy means covering the substrate surface with a high-gloss PVC/PET decorative film, then using heating and high-pressure vacuum suction to firmly bond the film to the substrate.
(3) Roller Coating vs Membrane Press High Glossy
| Comparison Point | Roller Coating High Glossy | Membrane Press High Glossy |
|---|---|---|
| Process Principle | Apply bright coating onto substrate with rollers, then cure/polish | Apply high-gloss PVC/PET film, bond with heat & vacuum/high pressure |
| Surface Effect | Natural, uniform gloss with good transparency | Extremely high gloss, vivid color, strong visual impact |
| Wear Resistance | Limited coating thickness, average scratch resistance | Thicker film, better scratch and stain resistance |
| Durability | May yellow or lose gloss over time | Stable, not easy to discolor, highly durable |
| Eco-friendliness | Uses coating, sometimes with solvents, less eco-friendly | Mostly eco-friendly films, better environmental performance |
| Cost | Mature technology, moderate cost | Higher material cost, overall more expensive |
| Advantages | Natural gloss, mature process, cost-effective | Extremely high gloss, rich colors, highly durable |
| Disadvantages | Prone to scratches, average stain resistance | Higher cost, risk of warping under thermal expansion |
How to Choose?
When choosing SPC wall panels, consider your budget, style, and usage needs:
- If you prioritize practicality and cost-effectiveness, Matte or Roller Coating High Glossy is more suitable, offering a natural and soft look at an affordable price and easier cleaning.
- If you want a more high-end effect, richer colors, and stronger durability and stain resistance, Membrane Press High Glossy is recommended, delivering greater visual impact and lasting quality.
