I believe that many people will choose to lay the floor instead of ceramic tile when they deal with the floor. On the one hand, it is not only because of the beauty of the floor, but also because of the continuous development of the floor industry. Its technology has reached a certain degree. So the quality and beauty of the floor is far more than the ceramic tile. So is laying the floor to choose the solid wood composite floor or the laminate floor? Don't worry, the experts of the composite floor factory will answer these two kinds of floors for you.
Laminate floor, also known as impregnated paper laminated wood floor / laminate floor, is composed of wear-resistant layer, decorative layer, high-density base material layer and balanced (moisture-proof) layer. Impregnated paper laminated wood floor is a floor which is impregnated with thermosetting amino resin with one or more layers of special paper, and is paved on the surface of wood-based panel such as particleboard, high-density fiberboard, with balance layer on the back and wear-resistant layer on the front.
How to choose laminate flooring:
1. Proof materials say environmental protection
There is a certain amount of formaldehyde in the laminate floor. If the formaldehyde emission exceeds the national standard (1.5mg / L), it will be harmful to human body. It is suitable to choose products with national environmental protection mark or inspection free products when purchasing. Don't believe the saying of "zero formaldehyde" in the shopping guide. The reliable way is to ask for the environmental protection certificate, inspection report and other supporting materials.
2. Wear resistance coefficient marked
The wear-resistant agent for the surface pressing of the reinforced composite floor is aluminum oxide. The amount of Al2O3 and the thickness of the film determine the number of revolutions. The greater the content and film degree, the higher the revolution, the more wear-resistant, and the longer the service life of the floor. On the market, the number of wear-resistant turns is ≥ 6000 turns of the reinforced composite floor, and there will be a class II mark for household use on the floor.
3. The material of base course shall not be ash removed
At present, the base material of the reinforced composite floor on the market basically comes from the economic fast-growing forest, and the wood is processed into the density board. The higher the density, the greater the internal bonding strength and the better the quality of the sheet. In the selection of reinforced composite floor, the whiter the base, the better the quality. Press the edge of the base material with your fingers to see if there is ash falling. If there is no powder wood slag falling, it means that the quality of the base material is good.
4. Floor panel tightness
As the back of the laminate floor does not have a keel frame and does not need to be spliced with glue, the tightness of the tongue and groove is very important. In the purchase site, you can take two pieces of floor model assembly to see whether it is neat and tight after assembly. The good quality floor splices together, two people work together to break apart is very difficult.
5. Different thickness
The thickness of aggrandizement compound floor is divided into 1.2cm and 0.8cm commonly. The 1.2cm floor is closer to the solid wood floor and has a better foot feel. In terms of floor length, there are two specifications on the market: large and small. The length of large board is about 1.2m and that of small board is about 0.8m. If the room is relatively large, it is recommended to select a large board with good paving effect; if the room is relatively small, it is recommended to select a small board, which can save materials.
Solid wood composite floor:
Solid wood composite floor is divided into three-layer composite floor and multi-layer composite floor.
The three-layer solid wood composite floor has three-layer structure just like its name. The surface layer is generally good hardwood specification batten panel or veneer, the middle layer is soft miscellaneous batten, and the bottom layer is rotary cutting veneer.
The multi-layer solid wood composite floor takes the multi-layer plywood as the base material, and the surface layer is made of good specification hardwood veneer. Generally, it is made of melamine glue. Because this kind of floor has good stability at the same time, it also has the natural texture of solid wood floor, which is a good ground material! It is also often used by families laying floor heating.
Purchase of solid wood composite floor:
1. Look at the appearance
Solid wood composite floor is divided into three categories: superior, first-class and qualified products. Appearance quality is an important basis for grading. When purchasing, first of all, it is necessary to see whether the color and texture of the surface wood are clear. Generally, the surface should not have wood defects such as decayed, knot holes, wormholes, cracks or loose seams. The sense of wood texture and color should be harmonious. Also check the tongue and groove around the floor for flatness.
2. Find out the type
There are two kinds of solid wood composite floor, one is a three-layer solid wood floor, which is composed of three layers of wood plates, namely, the surface plate, the core plate and the back plate. Another kind of multi-layer solid wood floor is composed of seven or nine layers, and its stability is better than three-layer solid wood floor. When buying, we should choose three-layer or multi-layer solid wood composite floor according to our own needs.
3. Observation structure
Through the mortise and tenon of the four sides of the multi-layer solid wood floor, consumers can see the structure of the single board stacked layer by layer. The traditional multi-layer solid wood floor base material adopts the odd number of layers, generally seven or nine layers. In recent years, some brands have improved the traditional technology by using even layer formation, that is, eight or ten layers. When buying, you may as well pick up the floor and see how many layers the structural layer of the floor is.
4. Formaldehyde emission
The multi-layer solid wood floor is made up of many pieces of wood veneer. The quality and environmental protection performance of the floor adhesive are very important. Once the glue used is not good or even poor, it will cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard seriously and affect the health of users. At present, the compulsory standard of floor environmental protection in China is grade E1, that is, the average formaldehyde emission is less than 1.5mg/l. So when buying, it is good to buy floor with E1 grade or above, so that you can use it at ease.
