The difference between laminate flooring and hardwood flooring

Solid wood flooring: Solid wood flooring is a floor decoration material formed by drying and processing wood. 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 region of our country is 12, and the floor moisture content in the southern region should also be controlled within 14.

Laminate flooring: 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 laminate flooring is high, and it is a good environmentally friendly material.

Hardwood parquet has the advantages of beautiful and natural solid wood flooring, comfortable foot feeling and good thermal insulation performance; It also overcomes the shortcomings of solid wood flooring due to the shrinkage of the monomer and easy to warp cracks. Nowadays, in order to prevent the deterioration of the living environment, countries around the world generally attach importance to the protection of forest resources, and parquet can save rare wood resources compared with solid wood flooring. In addition, parquet is easy to install, and generally does not need to hit the keel, but requires ground leveling.

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

1.The solid wood floor has a good foot feel, natural texture and color, good heat preservation, and slightly worse hardness.

2.The main factor that determines the price of solid wood flooring is the material. The price varies greatly depending on the timber nature of the tree.

And because it is natural, so the texture, color difference is larger, the paving needs to hit the wooden keel, the price is relatively high, the installation is complex, easy to deform is also the obvious deficiency of the solid wood floor.

3.Solid wood flooring is difficult to maintain, because it is easy to get wet, it can not be wiped with a damp cloth after it is dirty, and it is necessary to wax the floor often in order to avoid cracking after moisture.

Laminate flooring is made of high temperature and high pressure pressing after the log is crushed, filled with glue, preservatives and additives. (For example, three-layer laminate flooring is divided into surface, middle, and bottom layers.) The surface layer is made of precious tree species, the middle layer is made of low-cost soft wood, the bottom layer is made of rotary cut wood veneer, and the three-layer thin plate is coated with rubber and then hot-pressed into a board, and then processed into a long strip or square parquet floor, slotted and milled after tenon, fine sanding paint.

1.There are many colors and patterns of composite flooring, and they can be directly bonded when paving, without laying keels, and the construction is simple. Moreover, the water resistance is stronger than that of solid wood flooring, which is not easy to be deformed by moisture, and can be wiped with a damp cloth after being dirty, and the wear resistance coefficient is correspondingly higher.

2.However, the composite floor feels hard, and the composite board is mostly bonded with glue, and the waterproofness, aging resistance, peeling resistance and free formaldehyde release of the glue will affect the quality of the composite floor and the quality of decoration.

Solid wood flooring is divided into traditional solid wood and composite solid wood.

1。Traditional hardwood flooring is made up of lumps of wood.

2。Composite solid wood is made by cutting a round log into pieces and pressing them one by one according to the rotary cutting method.

3.The installation process is also different.
