Laminate flooring, what to pay attention to when purchasing, what to pay attention to when installin

In fact, it is mainly the substrate and then the wear-resistant The main two things are not easy to distinguish The simple view is to look at the substrate White is not white There are many impurities in it Generally white impurities are less Better and wear-resistant basically depends on the color of the balance layer on the back of the floor The basic orange gray purple is good It looks like a plastic texture At a glance, the balance layer made of paper is not good Too thin It means that the wear resistance is not thick.

When purchasing, we should pay attention to the brand and quality, and the key substrate density, formaldehyde content and surface wear-resistant layer are wear-resistant; When installing, pay attention to the site construction environment is dry enough and the floor is level.

1. The quality of laminate flooring is mainly determined by the substrate, color wood grain paper, wear-resistant layer and product dimensional accuracy. When choosing laminate flooring, if its wear-resistant rotation rate is above 6000 rpm, it is enough, and most of the standard laminate flooring on the market has also reached this standard.

2. Choose the color of laminate flooring: It is not advisable to choose a very dark or black color when purchasing laminate flooring, because the floor of this color may have poor wear resistance or poor surface clarity.

3. Compare the packaging of laminate flooring products: better laminate flooring, its packaging identification is more standardized, with the real factory address, the full name of the factory, and the product grade and category are indicated. In order to prevent being deceived, consumers can conduct on-the-spot verification according to the identification.

4. The variety of laminate flooring colors purchased should be coordinated with the light and other colors in the room. Generally speaking, in places with poor lighting, it is not advisable to buy darker colors.

5. Check the environmental protection of laminate flooring: the ring bridge celery of laminate is the amount of formaldehyde released, formaldehyde is an indispensable thing for bonding in the production process of the floor, and it is also the main pollutant, if the quality of the floor is not good, the joints are not tight enough, and the formaldehyde released will be a lot, which will affect people's health. At present, the domestic standard for formaldehyde emission of laminate flooring is E0 formaldehyde emission is.

Please keep this standard in mind when purchasing laminate flooring.

6. Pay attention to the after-sales service of laminate flooring: how to ensure the quality of the installation and laying of the first dry board and obtain reliable after-sales service are the key points that consumers need to pay attention to when buying flooring. Because flooring is different from other products, even if it is a finished product and a semi-finished product, it can only be enjoyed by consumers after it is laid.

Therefore, when purchasing, you should try to buy well-known brands and choose products with good service.

1. When installing the floor, 8-10 mm expansion joints must be reserved in each direction around the floor;

2. When the length or width of the slab exceeds seven meters in any direction, the pavement must be divided;

3. In the continuous installation process, all the extruded glue can not be removed immediately, and must be gently shoveled with a plastic scraper after the initial curing of the glue, and cleaned with a wrung out rag.

4. The floor should be installed in a dislocation pavement, that is, the starting plate of the column must be staggered with an adjacent floor of 300 mm, and the floor can continue to be used if it is more than 300 mm, if it is less than 300 mm, it is not used as a cutting material.

5. The first three rows of floors are installed, and the quality of the first three rows of floors directly affects the quality of the whole room, therefore, after the first three rows of floors are installed, you should wait for 10 minutes, and then install the remaining floors after the glue is initially cured.

6. When the floor is installed to the door sleeve, the installer should use an angle cutting saw to cut out the gap of about 1 cm from the ground, so that the floor expansion joint can be hidden in the door sleeve during installation to ensure the beautiful connection between the floor and the door sleeve.

What are the problems that need to be paid attention to when choosing laminate flooring?

1.Laminate flooring contains a certain amount of formaldehyde. If it exceeds the national standard (milligram liters), it is harmful to the human body.

When purchasing, it is best to choose products with national environmental protection labels or products that have not been inspected. Don't believe the "zero formaldehyde" statement in the shopping guide. The safest way is to ask for environmental certificates, inspection reports and other supporting materials.

The substrate of laminate flooring on the market is basically from fast-growing economic forests, and the wood is processed into medium-density fiberboard. The higher the density, the stronger the internal bonding strength and the better the quality of the plate. When choosing laminate laminate flooring, the whiter the base layer, the better the quality.

Press firmly on the edge of the substrate with your finger to see if any dust comes off. If there is no powderwood residue, the substrate is ***.

2.Laminate flooring is a type of flooring that is cost-effective. In addition to being wear-resistant flooring, it also has the advantages of rich styles, pollution resistance, and easy care, and is suitable for all kinds of home decoration.

The biggest feature of laminate flooring is that it has good wear resistance. Ideal for occasions where people are concentrated, such as the living room, it is the cheapest type of wood flooring. It is also very simple to install and maintain.

The third layer of laminate flooring is the substrate layer, which is high-density board. It is made by crushing logs, adding glue, preservatives and additives, and pressing them with high temperature and high pressure with a hot press, so there is a formaldehyde problem.

3.Check the splicing method. Since there is no keel on the back of the laminate floor, there is no need to splice with glue, so the tightness of the tongue and groove is very important.

At the purchase site, you can assemble a two-layer sample and see if it is neat and tight after assembly. The floors are spliced together, and it is difficult for two people to break together. Generally, laminate flooring is spliced with double locks.

On two interlocking wooden floors, double grooves and double protrusions are combined for locking. The advantage of this model is that the two wooden floors are tightly jointed and are not easy to disassemble once locked, but it takes a lot of time to install at the same time. Compared to solid wood flooring, the wear-resistant layer on the outermost surface of laminate flooring has been specially treated to achieve high hardness, even if scratched with sharp hard objects such as keys, it will not leave obvious marks.

It should be noted that when choosing laminate flooring, we must choose some reliable quality, and we should also pay attention to the problem of pasting, pay attention to the problem of size, be consistent with the overall ground size, and should also pay attention to the problem of color, should choose dark color, pay attention not to choose special smell.

Pay attention to its formaldehyde content, if more than milligrams per milliliter, then you should give up decisively, zero formaldehyde is misleading consumers, try to choose some national health department certification, material safety of big brand laminate flooring, you can press the edge of the substrate by hand, if you don't drop the slag, or powder, instructions.

The problem of attention is that you must choose a better quality, but also choose a waterproof one, but also choose the color that suits your home, the floor that suits your home, so that it is the most correct, and the last point is that you must choose the society better, because in this case, if there is any problem, there will be a better solution.

Be sure to choose a wear-resistant floor, choose a light color floor, and also pay attention to the finish of the floor, pay attention to the brand of the floor. Pay attention to after-sales service.

To choose the right floor, do not have formaldehyde, and be sure to choose a cost-effective floor, to have wear resistance, to choose pollution-resistant.

What are the tips for purchasing laminate flooring?？Smoothness of wood flooring: Laminate flooring can be roughly divided into pipe groove type, surface type, smooth type, etc. from the smoothness and cleanliness of the surface.

This is also due to the use of different steel plates in the production process. It doesn't matter which one is good, it all depends on personal interests and hobbies. Pick tones and wood textures:

When choosing a shade of wood texture, be sure to take into account the size of the bedroom, the color of the furniture, the design style and personal interests. Generally speaking, you can choose a wood floor with a darker color and a more complex wood texture. The house is small, the color is light, the wood texture is light and elegant, and it is stronger.

Pick the wear resistance value: The wear resistance value is to use the number of revolutions to indicate the wear resistance level of the wood floor, the higher the number of revolutions, the greater the wear resistance level of the wood floor. The number of wear-resistant revolutions is divided into three types: default value, mean value and stop value, when comparing the wear-resistant revolutions of each wood floor, you must find out which value the wear-resistant rotation brought by the manufacturer belongs to, so as to make a unified comparison.

In addition, the general interior decoration choice of 7000-8000 rpm floor tiles has been sufficient.

Pick the verticality of the incision: whether the incision of laminate flooring is vertical and detailed will directly affect the assembly quality and aesthetics of the wooden floor, and you should pay attention to it when choosing.

What are the precautions for laminate flooring? Observe the color tone and surface treatment of the wood floor, whether there is a large color cast, whether the gap is too large and flattened, and the wood texture is clear and not repeated. At this stage, the laminate flooring boards on the market are basically the fastest growing forests in economic development, and the wood is made into high-density boards through production.

The greater the relative density and the greater the internal fusion strength, the better the quality of the furniture panel. When choosing laminate flooring, the whiter the bottom layer, the better the quality. Press the edge of the board with your finger to see if the ash is dropping, if there is no powdery wood chips, etc., it indicates that the quality of the board is very good.

Check the patchwork method. Because the reverse side of the laminate floor does not play false beams, there is no need to use super glue to put together, so the compactness of the assembly line is very important. At the place of purchase, you can take the sample of two plates and assemble it to see if it is neat and tight after assembly.

The wooden floors were put together, and it was difficult for two people to peel them apart.

When purchasing, you should pay attention to four aspects, good finish, strong wear resistance, color and texture with furniture, and straight incision. In the process of use, it is necessary to pay attention to moisture-proof and leakage-proof, pay attention to the direction when installing, and pay attention to retaining the expansion joints during the installation.

Skills: The wood grain and feel are getting closer and closer to pure solid wood, with high stability and high cost performance. When purchasing, you can choose products with national environmental protection labels. Environmental protection certificates, inspection reports and other supporting materials are required.

It is necessary to choose according to the overall decoration style and floor style, as well as the lighting degree of the room; First of all, we must pay attention to environmental protection, see if there are additives and preservatives in it, and observe the thickness, generally it is better to choose a thin one, but also to observe the flatness, pay attention to the size of the specification.

1.Thickness: The thickness of the floor should be 8 mm. The floor with a thickness of only 6 mm is mostly used temporarily for exhibitions and other activities, although it is low, the life span is less than 8 mm thick.

2.Wear-resistant revolutions: It is an important indicator of the strength of the floor, which is divided into initial revolutions (IP), average revolutions (AT), and final revolutions (ET).

3.Water resistance: Different plates can be soaked in water for 24 hours to check whether the surface layer is peeling and expanding.

4.The processing quality of the mouth of the floor and the ficus should be checked, as well as whether the coating of the moisture-proof and anti-corrosion material on the back of the board is full.

There are three factors to consider when choosing laminate flooring: the number of abrasion resistance, formaldehyde content, and the expansion rate of the water absorption thickness.

The number of abrasion resistant revolutions is an important indicator of laminate flooring. Objectively speaking, the higher the number of wear resistance, the longer the service life should be, but the level of wear resistance value is not the only criterion for measuring the service life. Under normal circumstances, the wear-resistant rotation of composite flooring reaches 10,000 revolutions, and the product of less than 10,000 revolutions may be damaged to varying degrees after 1 or 3 years of use.

Formaldehyde content is an indicator that is not taken seriously by consumers. Therefore, many consumers are troubled by pungent odor after construction, which is caused by excessive formaldehyde content. According to the European standard, the formaldehyde content of every 100 grams of floor shall not exceed 9 mg, and more than 9 mg is a substandard product.

Therefore, this indicator is related to the key indicator of whether the products we choose are harmful to the body.

If the expansion rate of the water absorption thickness is not qualified, the board will bulge and deform. This index can be regarded as qualified within 3, otherwise, the floor will bulge and deform when it encounters moisture or relatively high humidity and poor sealing around the floor, which will affect normal use.

Experts especially pointed out that when consumers buy composite flooring, they should carefully inquire about the difference between different grades of composite flooring, and remember the selected grade of products, and should accept whether the packaging is consistent after picking up the goods.
