How to choose the whole wood home improvement solid wood composite laminate flooring?

wooden floor

Solid wood flooring is a floor decoration material formed by drying and processing natural wood. Because the surface of the solid wood floor is only treated with simple paint surface, it can present natural wood texture and color pattern, giving people a natural, soft and friendly texture. It has the characteristics of warm winter and cool summer, comfortable feet and safe use.

Solid wood flooring does not use adhesives and other materials in the manufacturing process, because the environmental performance is also outstanding compared with the other two types of flooring. In addition, sound insulation, humidity adjustment, gorgeous and noble, etc. are also the advantages of solid wood flooring.

The shortcomings of solid wood flooring are also obvious. The first is difficult to maintain. Solid wood flooring has a high demand for paving. Once paved poorly, it will cause a series of problems, such as sound. Solid wood floors are prone to arching, warping or deformation if the indoor environment is too moist or dry. After paving, it is often waxed and oiled, otherwise the gloss of the floor surface will soon disappear.

Laminate flooring

Reinforced flooring is also called laminate flooring. In view of the shortcomings of solid wood flooring that is not resistant to moisture and wear, flooring companies have introduced a composite wood flooring. This wooden floor is not made of solid wood, but is composed of four layers of composite materials, namely wear-resistant layer, decorative layer, high-density substrate layer, and balanced (moisture-proof) layer.

Thanks to these four layers of material, the laminate flooring overcomes various shortcomings on solid wood flooring. Since the surface of the reinforced floor has a wear-resistant layer, even a key or a screwdriver can not damage the wooden floor, which reduces the difficulty of maintenance. Secondly, the moisture barrier absorbs moisture from the air because it does not deform due to moisture or dryness.

But the laminate flooring also has obvious shortcomings, that is, environmental protection and foot feeling. It is absolutely impossible to complete the four layers of different materials together without using adhesives. This will result in the continuous release of formaldehyde and damage to human health after the laminate flooring is finished. Secondly, because there is no solid wood composition, the floor feel of the laminate is far from the solid wood floor.

Parquet

Since it can be bonded into a reinforced laminate floor with different materials, is it possible to add artificial materials in the middle of the solid wood flooring to make the physical properties more complex with everyone's daily use habits? The answer is certainly yes.

The solid wood composite floor is made of intertwined laminated plates of different tree species, which overcomes the shortcomings of the solid expansion and contraction of the solid wood floor to a certain extent, the shrinkage and shrinkage rate is small, the dimensional stability is good, and the solid wood floor is retained. Natural wood grain and a comfortable foot feel. Parquet has both the stability of the laminate flooring and the aesthetics of the solid wood flooring, and it has environmental advantages.

Since the substrate of the solid wood composite floor is made of multi-layer veneer, the wood fibers are criss-crossed into a mesh-like laminated combination, so that various internal stresses of the wood are mutually adapted between the layers, ensuring the flatness of the wooden floor. And stability, and retain the aesthetics of the solid wood floor in one, can enjoy the warmth of nature, but also solve the shortcomings of difficult maintenance of solid wood flooring.

Every kind of wooden floor has its own shortcomings, and parquet is no exception. First of all, the solid wood composite flooring is not only more expensive than the laminate flooring, but even more expensive than the same type of solid wood flooring. Secondly, the process requirements are high, the structure is complex, the quality is different, and the internal quality is difficult to identify.
