Formaldehyde-free Armstrong SPC flooring, safe for everyone in the home.

One of the most commonly overlooked factors when installing SPC vinyl flooring, glue-down vinyl, or vinyl sheet flooring is the "wastage allowance" — an essential element that helps ensure a smooth installation process and maintains the overall quality of the finished work.Wastage Allowance = Peace of Mind on Installation DayWastage allowance refers to ordering more material than the actual floor area, typically around 10–20%, depending on the type of flooring and the installation pattern. This extra amount accounts for trimming and adjustments needed to fit corners, edges, and complex areas such as columns, room angles, or uneven layouts.Benefits of Wastage Allowance:Reduces the risk of material shortage during installation, which could delay the projectAccommodates real-world site deviations that often differ from the original floor planPrevents color inconsistency when additional material needs to be ordered laterHelps control the budget by avoiding unexpected costs (such as extra shipping or labor)Ensures a clean, seamless, and professional-looking installationRecommended Wastage Allowance Guidelines Vinyl Tile / Plank FlooringAllow 10–15% extra material beyond the actual floor area. For angled layouts or patterns such as herringbone, it’s recommended to plan for the full 15% to accommodate additional cuts and alignment.Vinyl Sheet FlooringAllow 15–20% extra, especially when pattern matching is required — such as wood grain, stone textures, or graphic designs. Seam alignment for visual continuity often leads to more material waste. This type of flooring is commonly used in large-scale spaces such as schools, hospitals, offices, and showrooms.Wastage allowance in vinyl flooring isn’t just about numbers — it’s a proactive planning step that brings peace of mind to everyone involved: property owners, installers, and designers alike. When materials are sufficiently prepared, the project moves forward smoothly without delays or issues like mismatched color batches.Quality materials + Thoughtful planning = A seamless, high-quality flooring installation

Modern architecture goes beyond aesthetics and functionality. Today’s buildings must also consider their environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle.A single building that lasts over 50 years can significantly reduce the carbon emissions associated with demolition and reconstruction. It all begins with intentional, sustainable design, such as:Use Low-Carbon MaterialsOpt for materials like recycled aluminum, fly ash concrete, or FSC-certified wood. These materials help reduce embodied carbon, and their adoption is a growing global trend in green construction.Design with Nature in MindOrient the building to capture natural breezes and block harsh sunlight from the hottest directions. Use double walls, ventilated facades, or sun-shading elements like louvers or slatted wood screens. These don’t just add visual appeal — they also reduce the need for artificial cooling, saving energy over time.Maximize Natural LightSmart use of sunlight helps reduce daytime electricity usage and improves occupant well-being. Thoughtful window placement and daylighting strategies are not just about brightness — they’re about promoting health and comfort.Invest in Renewable EnergyInstalling solar panels or other energy storage systems may involve upfront costs, but they can pay for themselves in a few years while reducing long-term operational expenses.Green Building is not a trend — it’s a responsibility. Every design decision, big or small, affects our planet for years to come.Published by Vispac#SustainableDesign #GreenBuilding #ArchitectsForFuture

During the rainy season, many people may not realize that the “dust” and “moisture” brought in by every pair of shoes can have a bigger impact than expected. Indoor floors can become dirty, damaged, or even slippery — increasing the risk of accidents. Fortunately, all of this can be prevented with something simple: a high-quality dust-trapping mat.Dust levels can rise up to 12 times during the rainy season!When it rains, moisture allows dust to cling more easily to surfaces — and it gets carried into buildings on the soles of every shoe. Studies show that within just 20 days, with 1,000 people entering a building, up to 11 kilograms of dust can accumulate. This dirt can become airborne as PM2.5 or PM10 particles, which may affect the respiratory system and have long-term health impacts.Negative Effects of Rainwater and Dust IndoorsPoorer indoor air qualitySlippery floors and higher risk of slip-and-fall accidentsIncreased cleaning costs and potential long-term floor damageHow Does Installing ABI Dust-Trapping Mats Help?ABI dust-trapping mats can capture up to 90% of dirt and debris before it enters the building. They help reduce dust accumulation indoors, lower the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, and significantly cut cleaning and maintenance costs.**Dust-trapping efficiency depends on the mat’s length and the level of foot traffic.Contact us via:Facebook  ClickLINE : @vispac (with @ ) or Click#DustControlMat #RainySeasonMat #ABIDustMat #RainySeason #DustProtection #EntranceMat
