people are not too tired when standing for a long time.

hard wear layer specially treated on the surface fully guarantees the excellent wear resistance of the
floor material. It can be used for more than 5 years.

of the same electrode as the material to be welded, and the temperature of the hot air torch is adjusted
to 180 degrees; – 250 degrees; welding is performed.
