What are the types of wood flooring? Decoration Xiaobai must see
What are the types of wood flooring? In terms of floor materials, it can be roughly divided into five categories: solid wood floor, solid wood composite floor, reinforced composite floor, bamboo floor and cork floor. The first three are common to us.
Solid wood flooring
Solid wood floor is formed by drying and processing natural wood, also known as log floor, which is natural and environmental protection; The wood itself is a porous structure, which will absorb or release moisture in the air. Therefore, it can automatically adjust the indoor temperature and humidity. It has the characteristics of warm in winter and cool in summer and comfortable feet. It is very suitable for laying in bedrooms, living rooms, study and other spaces.
However, at the same time, it is inevitable that there will be cracks or warped edges, and the process requirements for paving are relatively high.
Solid wood composite floor
Solid wood composite floor is actually a kind of floor derived from the solid wood floor family. It is characterized by woodiness, easy installation and maintenance, anti-corrosion, moisture-proof, antibacterial, and suitable for geothermal. Its comprehensive strength is still uniform.
In terms of structure, the solid wood composite floor is mainly composed of paint layer, panel, core board and bottom board. The main factor affecting the price of solid wood composite floor is the solid wood species of panel and the specification of floor. Now there are many common panel wood species on the market, such as birch, maple, elm, oak, etc. which kind of wood species to choose depends on the characteristics of wood species and home decoration style.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring has many optional styles, which can achieve wood grain effect. The price is grounded, wear-resistant and durable; But there are also some doubts. Some people always say that it contains glue and is not environmentally friendly. In fact, the technology of laminate flooring is very mature now. It is a very closed idea to unilaterally think that laminate flooring is not environmentally friendly wood.
Compared with the previous two, laminate flooring has a relatively high cost performance. It basically meets all the requirements of our friends for the floor: good-looking, wear-resistant, environmental protection and high cost performance. If the budget is limited, laminate flooring can be considered. However, if you want to pursue natural texture, you can choose solid wood flooring.
How to determine the type of wood floor? The following aspects can be considered:
(1) Visual appearance: the surface texture and color of solid wood floor and solid wood composite floor maintain the natural attribute of wood, which is more natural and gives people a soft, natural and affinity feeling. It is very suitable for home use. The appearance of laminate floor depends on the decorative paper simulated by computer. Although it can realistically simulate the effects of wood grain and concave convex grain, it is still different from natural wood grain.
(2) Foot comfort: solid wood floor is formed after direct processing of natural wood. It has good elasticity, mild foot feeling and the best comfort performance. It is especially suitable for bedroom and other environments. The solid wood composite floor is made of multi-layer veneer. The surface touch is close to the solid wood and has a good foot feel. The core layer of laminate floor is mostly high-density fiberboard, and the foot feeling and comfort are slightly poor.
(3) Environmental protection performance: the formaldehyde of solid wood floor is the lowest. Some formaldehyde will remain in the manufacturing process of solid wood composite floor and laminate floor, but as long as the formaldehyde is controlled within a certain range, it will not cause harm to human body.
(4) Price comparison: there are many floors in the market, but the price varies greatly due to the differences in material, technology and brand. Generally speaking, solid wood flooring > solid wood composite flooring > reinforced composite flooring. The price of some large-scale solid wood composite flooring may also be higher than that of solid wood flooring. You can consider comprehensively according to your own budget range.
When choosing these three kinds of wood flooring, we need to comprehensively consider the comfort, cost performance and other factors of wood flooring. In addition, try to choose wood flooring brands such as Anxin flooring, which have their own wood flooring production base and have a certain popularity, so as to ensure the flooring quality and after-sales service!
