1.Overview of the development of ground decoration materials

Floor decoration material is a component of the home furnishing materials industry and it plays a very important role in interior decoration design, beside protecting the ground it also influences the atmosphere and style of the whole home. With the development of human society and economy and the improvement of production technology, the products of ground decoration materials are constantly enriched and the functions are also constantly improved. It can be reflected that the clay brick formed by high temperature firing evolved into colored ceramic floor material, Natural stone ground material develops for polishing, mirror ground material, solid wood floor extends to aggrandizement wood floor and compound wood floor. Natural fiber woven carpet changed to synthetic fiber machine carpet, and the polymer materials made of plastic flooring and so on developed from the last century. 

While the product categories and functions are constantly enriched, people are no longer satisfied with the basic use functions, but begin to pay attention to the personalization of design, material selection, style and other aspects, and pursue the quality of living environment. As the customers’ demands to the personalization needs, originality and quality coexist, the ground decorates material need to make the floor become more decorative through the combination of different materials and satisfy the  diversified needs of customers by connecting different sizes, styles, colors ; optimize the production process, improve the quality management level, provide technical support for production for creative products, to meet customized, personalized flooring market demand in the large scale.

Since the ground is one of the parts that people touch most, in addition to decorative function, practical function and product quality, the environmental protection standard of the product is also an important factor to consider.In recent years, each country elevates floor industry environmental protection standard ceaselessly, in order to further standardize market order, safeguard consumer interest.With the improvement of environmental protection requirements, the ground decoration material manufacturing enterprises put forward higher requirements on technology, quality standards, inspection procedures, etc., the industry enterprises need to actively adapt to the new industry standards to constantly improve the competitiveness of products.

2.The characteristic of different ground decorates material

According to material qualitative difference, common ground decorates material can be divided roughly into wooden floor, natural stone material, carpet, ceramic tile, compound floor, plastic floor and so on.In terms of durability, aesthetics, safety and environmental protection, installation convenience, comfort, maintenance, price and other aspects, the characteristics of various ground decoration materials are as follows:

GDP and decoration industry output trend

In the future, with China's adherence to comprehensively deepening reform, the acceleration of transformation of economic development mode and adjustment of economic structural , and the further improvement of urbanization rate, China's floor decoration material industry will further develop. 

(2) Emerging materials such as PVC flooring products have developed rapidly

With the social and economic development, residents' consumption ability continues to improve, people’s demands on the ground of public buildings and homes decoration materials in the aesthetic trend of practicability, adornment effect, interior decoration ideas, creativity, simplification on installation, green environmental protection requirements and many aspects are constantly deepen, domestic and foreign enterprises start to actively carry out innovative research and development in product performance and improve the ratio of material and production technology, etc.The PVC plastic, as the representative of emerging materials, its green environmental protection, recycling and other advantages make it gradually occupied an important position in In the future, with China's adherence to comprehensively deepening reform, the acceleration of transformation of economic development mode and adjustment of economic structural , and the further improvement of urbanization rate, China's floor decoration material industry will further develop.
