1. Calcium carbonate quality standards and filler ratios differ. Jingtong · Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal products use high-purity calcium carbonate ore (95% purity or above) as the base material. The ore is finely ground and screened into 300-mesh and 400-mesh calcium powder, blended in proportion as the primary filler, accounting for approximately 75% of the total volume. Calcium carbonate offers stable and reliable material performance: excellent fire resistance (melting point 1,339°C), superior thermal expansion performance (linear thermal expansion coefficient of only 11.7×10⁻⁶, compared with approximately 100×10⁻⁶ for conventional LVT vinyl flooring), and it is insoluble in water. The increased calcium carbonate content ensures that stone-crystal products are more stable than traditional LVT vinyl flooring.

2. Density differs. Stone-plastic flooring has a density of approximately 1,600 kg/m³, while stone-crystal flooring has a density of approximately 1,950 kg/m³. With its higher density, combined with a small amount of PVC to enhance material toughness, stone-crystal flooring is superior to stone-plastic flooring in hardness, strength, toughness, and impact resistance, making it better suited to everyday use requirements.

3. Environmental performance differs. The main body (substrate) of stone-crystal products is derived from natural calcium carbonate from nature (the same composition as shells and rock) and crystalline polymer resin (the same composition as baby bottle nipples and IV tubing), making it healthier and more eco-friendly, free of harmful substances such as benzene, formaldehyde, and heavy metals.

4. Quality differs. The surface pattern treatment process for stone-crystal flooring is more refined and detailed than that of stone-plastic flooring. The high-definition surface layer reaches 570 million pixels, using synchronized pattern-matching technology to ensure visual and tactile consistency, resulting in superior texture and quality.

1. The promotion of any new product category takes time. It requires gradually building public awareness of something new. When the iPhone was first launched, it also took time to adapt before gradually becoming mainstream.

2. Looking at the flooring industry as a whole, wood flooring and ceramic tile have been declining year by year, while the stone-crystal category has been rising steadily. This reflects the future trend for stone-crystal products. Today's era calls for new materials that meet the principles of green, eco-friendly, and sustainable development, as well as people's rapidly evolving aesthetic expectations. Stone-crystal products have emerged accordingly and are developing rapidly, gradually becoming a core force in the industry.

3. The performance data of stone-crystal flooring is outstanding across the board. Compared with wood flooring and ceramic tile, it offers many superior properties. This aligns with the development of materials science—continuously finding new materials to overcome the shortcomings of existing ones and achieve better usability. This is one of the reasons for the rapid growth of the stone-crystal category.

4. In terms of social contribution, traditional wood flooring and ceramic tile require logging and mining that damage forests and mineral resources. From a broader perspective, this environmental harm ultimately harms us as well. Environmental sustainability is now the mainstream direction, and stone-crystal flooring uses abundant calcium carbonate—a resource that aligns well with the direction of new material development. This is the second reason for the strong growth of the stone-crystal category.

1. Environmental performance: Ceramic tile is a heavily polluting product, and some brightly colored products carry certain radiation hazards. Solid wood flooring installation involves adhesive, making formaldehyde exceedances common, and it consumes forest resources. Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal contains no formaldehyde, benzene, heavy metals, or other harmful substances, and meets international environmental certification standards.

2. Installation and maintenance: Ceramic tile is heavy and fragile, incurring transport costs, with high installation costs that are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and skilled installers are increasingly scarce. Solid wood flooring installation is cumbersome, requiring joists, with high installation costs, off-gassing after installation, and no ability to disassemble and reuse. Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal uses click-lock installation—install and move in immediately, no off-gassing required, low installation cost, and it can be directly disassembled, recovered, and reused.

3. Fire resistance: Ceramic tile is Class A fire-rated; solid wood flooring is not fire-resistant; Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal is Class B1 fire-rated.

4. Waterproof and moisture resistance: Ceramic tile becomes slippery when wet, with poor slip resistance and a high risk of falls. Solid wood flooring absorbs water and expands, is prone to insect damage, deforms and cracks when exposed to water. Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal can be used in wet spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements—it becomes more grippy and slip-resistant when wet.

5. Noise reduction: Ceramic tile has poor sound absorption and noise reduction; solid wood flooring has poor noise reduction performance; Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal effectively reduces noise and provides sound insulation.

6. Pattern selection: Ceramic tile feels hard, cold, and icy, with low texture realism and no ability to customize patterns. Solid wood flooring has natural grain patterns with limited options. Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal can reproduce natural wood grain, stone grain, fabric textures, and more at a 1:1 scale, with a rich range of color options.

7. Stain resistance: Ceramic tile is highly stain-resistant and easy to clean and maintain. Solid wood flooring requires tedious maintenance and easily loses its luster. Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal offers superior stain resistance—a wipe and it's clean.

8. Thermal conductivity: Ceramic tile heats up quickly and can become overheated. Solid wood flooring deforms when heated and cannot be used with underfloor heating. Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal has good thermal conductivity and is compatible with underfloor heating and wall heating systems.

This may be the most reassuring data you will see. Jingtong · Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal flooring/wall panels have been tested by national authoritative institutions, with formaldehyde emissions not detected (the instrument detection limit for formaldehyde emissions is 0.005 mg/m³).

This may be the cleanest raw material list you will see. The main raw materials for Jingtong · Lingmu Smart Manufacturing flooring/wall panels are natural calcium carbonate and crystalline polymer resin. Natural calcium carbonate is one of the raw materials used to produce edible carbonated beverages.

The other main raw material—crystalline polymer resin—is widely used in everyday life in baby bottle nipples, IV tubing, mineral water bottles, and more. These materials have all been certified as non-toxic and harmless by national authoritative institutions.

This may be the only flooring/wall panel among all renovation materials you have seen that is completely "zero glue" in both manufacturing and installation. Jingtong · Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal flooring/wall panels use crystalline polymer powder and natural calcium carbonate as the main raw materials. Through mixing, compounding, and hot-pressing or extrusion processes, no glue is used as a binder throughout the entire process.

The installation process further eliminates formaldehyde generation entirely. With a unique click-lock design, simply prepare a flat floor or wall surface, align two stone-crystal panels, and press to connect. No off-gassing is required—you can move in with confidence the same day installation is completed.

Traditional wood flooring and wall panels require forest logging, and ceramic products generate significant pollution during firing. Stone-crystal production generates no wastewater or exhaust emissions that pollute the environment. Stone-crystal production has low energy consumption and directly replaces traditional building materials that are highly polluting, energy-intensive, and high-emission. In particular, stone-crystal materials can be disassembled and reused multiple times, and can be recycled after disposal. It is a truly eco-friendly product based on the principles of green, sustainable development and circular use.

6. Stone-crystal flooring/wall panels are easy to install. There is no need to remove existing flooring/wall panels—simply ensure the surface is level. Dry construction requires no nails, glue, or joists, and DIY installation at home is achievable.

7. Stone-crystal wall/flooring panels have good thermal conductivity, even heat distribution, and a low thermal expansion coefficient. Even on the coldest days, the combination of stone-crystal flooring/wall panels with underfloor or wall heating keeps you comfortable.

8. Jingtong · Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal wall/flooring panels offer a wide variety of patterns, diverse styles, and comprehensive options to meet the personalized needs of every residential and commercial space.

 1. National standards require that when the contact temperature between the heating system and the back of the flooring material is 45°C, thermal conductivity speed and effectiveness depend on product density and the specific material's thermal conductivity coefficient. With the same material properties, higher density means faster heat transfer. After underfloor heating is activated, the time for the stone-crystal surface to feel warm to the human body is slower than ceramic tile or marble but faster than wood. However, after the heating is turned off, stone-crystal retains heat longer than ceramic tile, providing a more gentle warmth.

The thermal conductivity of cement mortar is 0.9, wood is 0.11, stone-crystal is 0.17, and ceramic tile is 1.99.

2. Series with a cork layer have a certain heat-blocking capacity that can affect temperature transfer, but this does not affect the overall heating performance of the room—it only slows room warm-up by a few minutes. As the temperature gradually reaches saturation at the cork contact point, heat transfer slows by only two or three minutes. Once saturation is reached, the temperature remains the same and does not affect overall heating performance.

 1. Yes, it can be used in bathrooms, and it works very well. Jingtong · Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal's excellent waterproof and slip-resistant performance can fully replace ceramic tile in bathroom areas. Ceramic tile becomes slippery and cold when wet. Hundreds of thousands of people fall each year due to slippery floors, especially the elderly. We must be especially vigilant about falls—minor injuries may result in fractures, while severe cases can be life-threatening. These safety incidents happen around us frequently, so choosing waterproof, slip-resistant stone-crystal flooring is a safer option.

2. It also works excellently in kitchen areas. Kitchens are heavy grease zones—when water gets on the floor, oil sticks to it, creating a slippery surface that is easy to fall on, and grease on walls is difficult to clean. Jingtong stone-crystal flooring's easy-clean properties can reduce kitchen cleaning time. The only point to emphasize is that the stove area requires special design, such as using painted glass or stainless steel panels in combination.

1. Easy to maintain. Lingmu Smart Manufacturing stone-crystal flooring has an antibacterial UV protective coating on the surface with stain-resistant properties. For everyday use, whether tea, oil, lipstick, nail polish, or mild acids and alkalis, cleaning is no problem.

2. Slip resistance comes from three factors. First, anti-slip agents added to the surface UV coating increase friction. Second, surface texture embossing, similar to tire tread patterns, increases surface friction. Third, due to the PVC material of the surface wear layer, the friction coefficient is relatively high. As a flexible material, when you step on the panel surface, there is a slight depression at the micro level, which increases friction. When water enters between the foot and the floor, air is displaced, creating a vacuum suction effect similar to a suction cup. Therefore, stone-crystal flooring becomes even more grippy and slip-resistant when wet.
