Renovation Auxiliary Materials Upgrade: Adjustable Plastic Bases Become Construction Standard, Lightweight Solutions Gain Market Popularity

December 2025 News – As the renovation industry’s requirements for construction precision and efficiency continue to rise, traditional auxiliary materials such as cement leveling and metal brackets are gradually being replaced by more flexible new products. Among them, Adjustable Plastic Bases, with their advantages of precise leveling, light weight and durability, have become the "new standard" in home and commercial renovation, seeing steadily increasing penetration in scenarios like tile laying and floor installation.

Technological Upgrade: Plastic Bases Break Limitations of Traditional Auxiliary Materials

According to building materials industry research data, the domestic market size of adjustable plastic bases surged by over 35% year-on-year in 2025, far outpacing the growth rate of traditional metal leveling accessories. These products are made of PP/ABS engineering plastic, paired with a spiral adjustment structure, enabling millimetric-level height fine-tuning. They solve the pain points of traditional cement leveling, such as long time consumption, as well as metal brackets’ susceptibility to rust and heavy weight. "The core advantage of adjustable plastic bases lies in their 'adaptability'. Whether for fine-tuning slight ground height differences or construction in humid areas like kitchens, bathrooms and balconies, the corrosion resistance and lightweight design of plastic materials can perfectly adapt. When used with laser levels, construction efficiency can be improved by over 40%, and leveling can be completed by a single person."

Market Feedback: Recognized by Both Constructors and Owners

In frontline renovation construction sites, the practicality of adjustable plastic bases has been widely verified. The person in charge of a Beijing-based renovation team revealed that since introducing the product last year, the rework rate of tile laying has dropped from 12% to 3%. "Especially for laying large-sized slabs and ultra-thin tiles, precise leveling can avoid hollowing and edge warping, significantly improving owner satisfaction with acceptance."

From the consumer perspective, the use of adjustable plastic bases also indirectly reduces renovation costs. Mr. Chen, a Shanghai-based owner, said: "I originally worried that the uneven ground would require secondary leveling, but the craftsman used these plastic bases for direct leveling, which not only saved the cost of cement leveling but also shortened the construction period by 3 days."

Industry Trend: Lightweight and Intelligent Auxiliary Materials Are the Future

Industry experts point out that the popularity of adjustable plastic bases reflects the development trend of "lightweight and intelligent" renovation auxiliary materials. At present, some enterprises have added intelligent sensing modules to the product to real-time feedback leveling precision; meanwhile, the application of degradable and environmentally friendly plastic has become a research hotspot, balancing practicality and environmental requirements.

With the continuous upgrading of renovation technology, innovations in such small auxiliary materials will continue to drive industry efficiency improvement, and adjustable plastic bases are expected to gradually evolve from "niche tools" to "must-have products" in renovation construction.
