In recent years, the development of laminate flooring in the market is very rapid, and it has been loved and recognized by everyone. Compared with ceramic tiles, the insulation effect of the floor is better. Of course, the easy care of ceramic tiles is also a great advantage. Which one is better?
1. Ceramic tile introduction
Ceramic tile is made of clay, quartz sand and other raw materials which are more and more inclined to plain color. It is mixed through grinding, mixing, pressing, glaze application and sintering. It is the general name of building or decoration materials such as acid and alkali resistant porcelain or stone. Ceramic tiles are very good in wear resistance and glossiness. There are many kinds of colors and flowers. Because of the current interior design, plain color ceramic tiles have become a fashion, which are widely used in various types of ground decoration projects, but less used in walls.
2. Characteristics of ceramic tiles
The self weight of ceramic tile is light, it has good flexibility, acid and alkali resistance, freeze-thaw resistance, earthquake resistance and crack resistance. It is also compatible with the external wall insulation system and can play a good heat resistance role. The flatness of ceramic tile is very good, the surface will not be bent, the angle will not be warped, the construction laying is easy, the ground is very flat after construction, with high bending strength, heavy pressure resistance, wear resistance, long-term use and innovation, which is very suitable for use in public places.
3. Introduction to laminate flooring
Wood floor refers to the floor made of wood. The wood floor produced in China is mainly divided into six categories: solid wood floor, reinforced wood floor, solid wood composite floor, natural landscape floor, bamboo floor and cork floor. With the continuous development of society, this kind of floor made of wood is also highly sought after.
4. Characteristics of reinforced composite floor
Solid wood floor is a natural material, with the advantages of synthetic materials, non-toxic and tasteless, comfortable feet, warm in winter and cool in summer. The appearance of solid wood composite floor has beautiful wood texture, and its dimension stability is very good. It is easy to lay and maintain in construction, and its quality is more stable than that of solid wood floor. This kind of solid wood composite floor is more suitable for cold areas and can be used for geothermal, which is a feature different from the solid wood floor.
How to choose laminate flooring?
First look: the surface of composite floor is smooth, the color is gorgeous and natural, the varieties and specifications are complete, the moisture-proof balance layer on the reverse side is thick; the surface of poor composite floor is rough, the color is dim, the varieties and specifications are single, and the moisture-proof balance layer on the reverse side is thin.
Second listen: when the composite floor is scratched with hard objects such as keys, it will make a crisp and bright metallic sound without obvious scratches; when the poor composite floor is scratched with hard objects such as keys, it will make a mute sound with obvious scratches.
Three touch: the size and thickness of composite floor are the same, there is no gap at the joint of two floors, and the joint is smooth by hand; the size and thickness of poor composite floor are different, there is obvious gap at the joint of two floors, and there is obvious concave convex feeling at the joint by hand.
Four smell: due to different material selection and equipment technology, the composite floor is green and environmental friendly, with strong natural essence fragrance; the essence fragrance of poor composite floor is not obvious, and some even contain harmful chemical ingredients, emitting a pungent smell.
Five questions: the scale of manufacturers of laminate flooring is large, the address and telephone number of manufacturers are clearly marked, the after-sales service is perfect, and "Three Guarantees" are implemented for products; there is no "Three Guarantees" for poor laminate flooring.
