Selokhu isigaba se-flooring esingangenwa amanzi siqhubeka nokukhuphuka kwe-meteoric ngo-2019, futhi sekubonakala nakakhulu esigabeni esingaphansi se-SPC sesigaba se-LVT.I-SPC floor ayithathi ingxenye yemakethe nje kuphela, abaphathi bemboni futhi bathi idla abantu abathengisa emikhiqizweni engaphakathi kwengxenye eqinile.
Ucwaningo lwe-FCNews lukhombisa ukuthi imakethe yezindawo zokuhlala yenze u-67% wesamba semali engenayo eqinile noma u-$3.657 billion.Ngokuphathelene nevolumu, ukuqina kwendawo yokuhlala kubalwe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zezithombe eziyisikwele ezithunyelwe noma amamitha-skwele ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-3.38.Ingxenye enkulu yalowo msebenzi iqhutshwa yi-LVT yokuhlala (okuhlanganisa iglue phansi, ukuchofoza okuvumelana nezimo, i-loose lay, i-SPC ne-WPC), ekhiqize imali elinganiselwa ku-$3.038 billion.Ngokwevolumu, ukuqina kwezindawo zokuhlala kubalwe ngamamitha-skwele ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1.996.
Uma siqhathanisa isitezi se-SPC ne-WPC, emhlabeni jikelele sicabanga ukuthi abantu babheka ukushintsha ukukhiqiza kwabo kusuka ku-WPC floor kuya ku-SPC floor. Leyo yinkambiso ezoqhubeka kuze kube yilapho sibona ukusungulwa okulandelayo. Isitezi se-SPC sisazoqhubeka nokuba ukukhula isigaba, futhi izohambisa i-WPC iye ku-SPC.
