A Complete Guide to the Maintenance of Plastic Flooring in Autumn and Winter

The cold air is gradually thickening, and autumn and winter have arrived. As the seasons change, is the plastic flooring in your sports venues or commercial spaces ready to cope? Sudden temperature drops, changes in humidity, and the start of heating systems—these factors all affect the performance of plastic flooring. As a professional factory specializing in plastic flooring for 15 years, Lanshuo brings you this autumn and winter maintenance guide.

Practical Challenges Faced by Plastic Flooring in Autumn and Winter:

(1) Impact of Sudden Temperature Drops:

The material shrinks, leading to changes in joints, reduced elasticity, and impaired sports performance. The floor feels colder, resulting in decreased comfort.

(2) Issues Caused by Humidity Fluctuations:

Heating in northern regions causes excessive dryness, while rainy weather in southern areas brings hidden risks of dampness—both increase the risk of static electricity accumulation.

(3) Changes in Usage Environment:

Heating equipment is activated in sports venues; foot traffic in commercial spaces changes; and the amount of sand and mud brought in by shoe soles increases.

Professional Maintenance of Sports Flooring in Autumn and Winter:

(1) Temperature Management is Key:

Maintain the venue temperature within the ideal range of 15-25℃, and avoid direct exposure of the floor to heat sources (to prevent baking damage). Adopt gradual temperature rise to avoid sudden temperature changes.

(2) Humidity Control Essentials:

For venues in northern regions, use humidifiers to maintain a humidity level of 40%-60%. For southern areas, enhance ventilation to prevent moisture accumulation, and regularly check changes in the floor’s moisture content.

(3) Enhanced Cleaning and Protection:

Add dust-removal facilities at entrances to prevent floor abrasion caused by sand and gravel. Use neutral cleaning agents to avoid chemical damage. Promptly clean up rain and snow water on the floor to ensure anti-slip and anti-seepage performance.

Seasonal Maintenance of Commercial Flooring Tiles:

(1) High-Foot-Traffic Areas:

Increase the frequency of daily cleaning, conduct regular deep cleaning and maintenance, and provide key protection for worn areas.

(2) Temperature and Humidity Coordination:

Coordinate the air conditioning and fresh air systems to prevent excessively low temperatures near doors and windows, and regularly check the condition of commercial flooring tile joints.

Professional Construction, Seizing the Opportunity of Autumn and Winter

Special Attention Required for Plastic Flooring Construction in Autumn and Winter:

(1) Construction Environment Control:

Ensure a stable temperature at the construction site, allow materials to be delivered in advance to acclimate to the environment, and strictly control the dryness of the base layer.

(2) Process Adjustments:

Adjust the adhesive formula to adapt to low temperatures, reserve appropriate shrinkage gaps, and extend the curing time to ensure construction quality.
