The difference between solid wood flooring and laminate flooring

The main thing is the difference in material:

Solid wood flooring is a floor decoration material formed by drying and processing natural wood.

Laminate flooring is a kind of board made of medium density fiberboard or wood slats as the base material, and special wear-resistant plastic as the covering material.

Parquet is made of several layers of solid wood flakes crisscrossed and pressed, and essentially retains many of the characteristics of solid wood.

1. All solid wood flooring is a floor decoration material formed by wood after drying and processing. It has the characteristics of natural pattern, comfortable foot feeling and safe use, and is an ideal material for floor decoration in bedrooms, living rooms, and study rooms. The decorative style of solid wood is back to the basics, the texture is natural, and the solid wood floor is more precious in today's declining forest coverage rate and vigorously advocating environmental protection.

Solid wood flooring is divided into three grades: AA grade, A grade and B grade, and AA grade has the highest quality.

When purchasing solid wood flooring, attention should be paid to detecting the moisture content of the wood, and the floor with high moisture content will inevitably be deformed after installation. The floor moisture content in the northern part of China is 12%, and the floor moisture content in the southern region should also be controlled within 14%.

Laminate flooring is a popular flooring material in recent years. It is made by pressing the log at high temperature and high pressure after the log is crushed, filled with glue, preservatives and additives, so it breaks the physical structure of the log and overcomes the weakness of poor stability of the log. Laminate flooring has high strength and uniform specifications.

First, the wear coefficient is high, anti-corrosion, anti-moth and the decorative effect is good, which overcomes the problems of scars, insect eyes and color difference on the surface of the log.

Laminate flooring does not need to be painted and waxed, and it is the most suitable floor material for the rhythm of modern family life. In addition, the wood use rate of composite flooring is high, and it is a very good environmentally friendly material In view of your specific situation, solid wood flooring is your best choice, although it is not too environmentally friendly, but for China's resource reserves, it is also lacking in your dozens of square meters. Laminate flooring is more commonly used abroad, because foreign countries pay more attention to environmental protection, the national quality is also higher, there is no phenomenon of indiscriminate felling, so it is a very luxurious thing to use solid wood flooring.

But then again, no matter how advanced the equipment and technology used to produce laminate flooring, it is impossible to eliminate its own chemical toxins, and the texture is hard and does not have the feeling of wood flooring.

Laminate flooring is divided into three categories, laminate lamination, multi-layer solid wood lamination, and three-layer lamination.

The laminate flooring substrate is fast-growing wood, crushed with high pressure, the surface layer is decorated with pattern pattern and wear-resistant layer, and the bottom layer is balanced with a moisture-proof layer, and the price is about 100 to 200.

The multi-layer floor is 9-11 layers of ordinary wood, staggered and glued, and the surface is precious wood, close to the foot feel of solid wood, and the price is 200+ depending on the size of the wood and floor.

The solid wood is the original ecological single board.

Natural hardwoods are the majority, with long growth years, natural characteristics that can adjust the dry and wet balance of indoor air, environmental protection, value preservation, and reuse value.
