Clarify Application Scenarios and Match Core Performance

• Outdoor wet areas (poolside, terraces, plank roads): Prioritize aluminum-plastic flooring with high waterproof, UV-resistant and anti-slip properties. The surface should be designed with anti-slip texture to prevent slipping caused by accumulated water.

• Indoor commercial spaces (shopping malls, schools, offices): Focus on high wear resistance, fire retardancy and noise reduction performance, which must comply with local building fire standards (e.g., Class B1 fire rating).

• Home decoration scenarios (balconies, kitchens, bathrooms): Choose snap-in aluminum-plastic flooring that is lightweight, easy to install, stain-resistant and easy to clean, balancing aesthetics and practicality.

Verify Key Parameters to Ensure Quality Compliance

• Structure and thickness: The core structure of aluminum-plastic flooring is aluminum alloy core layer + wear-resistant surface layer. For household use, a thickness of 3-4mm is recommended; for high-traffic commercial areas, 5-8mm is preferred. The higher the aluminum content in the core layer, the stronger the load-bearing capacity and stability.

• Environmental protection and certification: The flooring must comply with common foreign trade certifications such as CE, ROHS and ASTM, and its formaldehyde emission should meet the E0 standard, ensuring compliance with the import requirements of target markets like Europe, America and Southeast Asia.

• Warranty and service life: High-quality aluminum-plastic flooring has a warranty period of ≥10 years and an outdoor service life of 30-50 years. It is essential to confirm the warranty commitment stated by the supplier during procurement.

Meet Foreign Trade Procurement Needs and Focus on Transaction Terms

• Minimum order Quantity (MOQ): The conventional MOQ of aluminum-plastic flooring on Made-in-China.com is 500-1000㎡, and for small-specification products, it can be as low as 300㎡. For small and medium-batch purchases, confirm with suppliers in advance whether small-order customization is supported.

• Price and logistics: The price ranges from $8-22/㎡ for 3-4mm decorative models. Compare whether suppliers' quotes include freight and tariffs, and give priority to those that support full-container sea shipping and can provide customs declaration documents.

• Customization services: Confirm whether OEM/ODM services are available, such as customizing surface patterns (wood grain, stone grain, etc.) or adjusting size specifications to meet the personalized needs of overseas customers.

Avoid Common Purchase Mistakes

• Don’t prioritize price over quality: Low-cost aluminum-plastic flooring may have defects like insufficient aluminum core thickness and easy peeling of the surface wear-resistant layer, leading to deformation and damage after long-term use.

• Don’t blindly pursue excessive thickness: Thickness is not directly proportional to quality. Select the appropriate thickness based on actual scenarios—overly thick flooring will increase transportation costs and installation difficulty.
