Top-tier specified product lines engineered to withstand thermal cycles up to 50°C and rigorous commercial foot traffic across Muscat, Salalah, Sohar, and Duqm.
The Sultanate of Oman is experiencing a transformative phase of infrastructure development and urban expansion driven by Oman Vision 2040. Strategic real estate mega-projects, such as Sultan Haitham City, Khazaen Economic City, and major tourism developments in Salalah and Muscat, have accelerated the demand for technical, eco-friendly, and ultra-durable building materials. Among these, Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) rigid core flooring, and Polypropylene (PP) Hollow Formwork systems have emerged as critical material choices for contractors, developers, and import distributors.
Operating within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region presents unique environmental challenges. The interior building envelope in Oman must contend with high ambient temperatures exceeding 50°C during peak summer months, extreme diurnal temperature variations, airborne sand and fine particulate dust, and high relative humidity across coastal belts (Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah). Traditional wood laminate, ceramic tiles, and natural hardwood face severe performance degradation—ranging from thermal expansion warping and grout line cracking to moisture-induced rot.
Formulated with high-density UV stabilizers and virgin PVC/Limestone matrix to prevent solar fading, surface cupping, and core degradation under intense ambient radiation.
Heavy-duty 0.5mm to 0.7mm transparent PUR wear layers equipped with ceramic bead technology, earning AC4/AC5 equivalent scratch resistance against Omani quartz dust.
Zero-water absorption polymers eliminate subfloor mold growth, edge swelling, and dimensional drift caused by monsoon humidity in Salalah and coastal condensation.
As a leading China-based manufacturer and direct exporter with over 15 years of industrial expertise, Greenstar New Materials Shuyang Co., Ltd. bridge the gap between world-class manufacturing scale and localized Omani technical requirements. By managing the complete manufacturing lifecycle—from resin formulation in our 3,000㎡ R&D center to multi-stage extrusion and maritime logistics—we deliver customized, cost-effective flooring and formwork solutions directly to Oman's chief commercial ports: Port Sultan Qaboos, Sohar Port, and Port of Salalah.

Information Gain Metric: Standard LVT/SPC flooring exported to temperate regions often fails in the GCC due to improper calcium-to-zinc stabilizer ratios and high thermal expansion coefficients. Greenstar’s Gulf-Spec formulations maintain a Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (COTE) of < 0.08% under 80°C continuous thermal cycling.
Understanding the micro-structural differences between Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) is crucial for Omani MEP engineers, architectural specifiers, and procurement managers:

| Core Density | 1,400 - 1,500 kg/m³ | 1,900 - 2,100 kg/m³ | 650 - 750 kg/m³ (Hollow Rib Structural Core) |
| Dimensional Stability (EN 434 / ISO 23999) | ≤ 0.15% (Requires Acrylic Adhesive) | ≤ 0.05% (Ultra-Stable Floating System) | ≤ 0.10% (100% Water Resistant) |
| Wear Layer Thickness Options | 0.15mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm PUR | 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm PUR + Ceramic Bead | N/A (Slab Surface Smoothness R>0.95) |
| Fire Rating (EN 13501-1) | Bfl-s1 (Flame Retardant, Low Smoke) | Bfl-s1 / Class A (Self-Extinguishing) | Standard / Custom Flame Retardant Grade |
| Acoustic Rating (Delta Lw) | 15 - 18 dB (With Underlayment) | 19 - 22 dB (Integrated IXPE / EVA Pad) | N/A (Structural Concrete Forming) |
For floating SPC installations in large commercial spaces (such as open-plan offices in Muscat, airport lounges, and retail malls), joint strength under heavy rolling loads is paramount. Greenstar utilizes diamond-milled Unilin and Valinge 2G/5I click profile technology. Micro-angle profile milling prevents seam popping and edge chipping under concentrated point loads (heavy furniture, luggage carts, and hospital beds).
Indoor thermal insulation is closely linked to HVAC efficiency in Oman’s air-conditioned environments. Greenstar SPC flooring comes with pre-attached high-density 1.5mm/2.0mm IXPE (Irradiated Cross-Linked Polyethylene) underlayment. IXPE provides superior impact sound reduction (IIC rating) while acting as a thermal buffer, reducing subfloor heat transfer and contributing to LEED v4 energy performance points for commercial building certification.

Direct answers to technical queries raised by Omani consultants, contractors, and import distributors.
Standard wood laminate features a High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) core that readily absorbs ambient humidity and expands, leading to edge buckling and cupping in humid Gulf regions. SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring features a 100% waterproof rigid core composed of natural calcium carbonate powder (limestone) and virgin PVC polymer. This dense core has near-zero water absorption (< 0.02%) and an ultra-low thermal expansion coefficient (≤ 0.05%), ensuring the planks remain perfectly flat even under direct sun exposure through glass windows and AC temperature swings.
Traditional phenolic plywood typically offers 3 to 5 reuses on Omani concrete job sites before delaminating due to extreme heat and water absorption from wet concrete curing. Greenstar’s 18mm PP Hollow Plastic Formwork panels are engineered from high-impact polypropylene resin. They offer 60+ reuses per panel, do not absorb water, require no release oil, and produce a smooth fair-face concrete finish (R > 0.95). Over a commercial building project in Muscat or Sohar, PP formwork reduces overall formwork costs by more than 60%.
For high-traffic hospitality and retail applications (such as hotel lobbies, corridors, and dining halls), we strongly recommend a minimum 0.5mm (20 mil) or 0.7mm (28 mil) polyurethane (PUR) wear layer infused with microscopic ceramic beads. This provides exceptional resistance against micro-abrasions caused by tracked-in beach sand, quartz dust, and continuous heavy luggage wheel rolling.
We provide a comprehensive export compliance documentation package for every shipment bound for Oman. This includes the Certificate of Origin (COO), Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Clean Bill of Lading, ISO 9001/14001 Quality Test Reports, CE Declaration of Conformity, FloorScore Indoor Air Quality certification, and SASO/GSO compliance reports required by Royal Oman Police (ROP) Customs.
