When decorating a house, is it better to lay tiles or laminate flooring?

When decorating their homes, many owners realize that they need to decorate the living room well, because the living room is our hospitality area, and the living room, as a reception and leisure area, should not only consider environmental protection, but also practicality. Therefore, the decoration is good-looking, but also the owner's face, wooden floors and tiles are the two mainstream materials on the market, each has advantages, so it is often difficult to choose. So is it better to lay floors or tiles in the living room?

The following is an analysis of the following five aspects for you one by one.

First, the thermal insulation performance.

The floor has an advantage in the thermal insulation of the indoor temperature, while the floor tile has relatively poor thermal insulation performance due to the fast heat conduction. Especially in spring or autumn when there is no heating but it is close to winter, and when the heating is not turned on, the whole floor will feel very cold and uncomfortable.

2. Personal safety.

The friction coefficient of the tile surface is smaller than that of the wooden floor, it is easier to slip, and it is easy to fall and rub the small family accidents, and in the family with children and the elderly, the damage of the floor tiles to the elderly and children is more serious, so the floor is more suitable for home paving.

Third, the cost aspect.

Floor tiles ** are higher than wood floors, the specific comparison is as follows: floor tiles **: 150-400 yuan square meters; Hardwood flooring:

150-400 yuan square meters; Laminate flooring: 100-150 yuan square meters; Floor tile paving: decoration company installation:

35-40 yuan square meters; The floor tiles are transported to the home and upstairs to carry the cost: 3-5 yuan square meters. Hardwood floor installation:

25 yuan square meters, including solid wood multi-layer if laid moisture-proof mat, the installation cost is only 12-15 yuan square meters. Laminate flooring installation: all the manufacturers are covered, and some baseboards are given.

Fourth, daily maintenance.

Floor tiles take more effort. Although the floor tiles look easy to maintain, they are prone to black seams and obvious scratches, and all the bad ones have to be replaced. Nowadays, hardwood floors do not need to be waxed, and can be replaced in a single piece if there is a problem.

Wood flooring is difficult to maintain is a thing of the past, now both solid wood flooring and laminate flooring have been greatly improved in wear resistance, and laminate flooring is due to the good wear resistance coefficient and eliminates many problems in later maintenance.

Fifth, the aesthetic aspect.

The floor has the characteristics of beautiful and durable, natural wood species, can well express a person's taste of life, the color and softness of the floor are excellent, and the affinity is very good. The floor tiles give people a more rigid feeling, which is limited in color and style, and it is not easy to come up with special effects.

Generally speaking, the bedroom is covered with wooden floors, and the hall is tiled, depending on your own personal needs, how you want to lay how to pave.

Tiles are easy to maintain, not easy to hide dirt and dirt, and the cleaning method is also very simple, that is, the usual sweeping and mopping can be cleaned. Ceramic tiles will not release toxic and harmful gases, the life of use is relatively long, not easy to scratch, warp and other situations, it is recommended that the subject of the guest room with tiles, bedroom can use composite flooring, but be sure to choose a big brand! Moreover, the wooden floor has maintenance requirements, so be careful not to have a whole piece of water stains on the wooden floor!

Personal summaryThe advantages of laminate flooring are mainly as follows: First, it is warmer in winter, because the nature of tiles determines that it is cooler in winter. The second is more high-grade and suitable for high-end furniture.

And it is not easy to clean, which seriously affects the aesthetics of the house. There is now a good solution to this disadvantage, that is, tile seams. After the tile seam can make the brick joint and the tile have the same easy to clean characteristics, normal house decoration, balcony, bathroom, kitchen and other places with relatively many water stains, will choose tiles, other places, bedroom, living room, study, dining room can be based on the actual decoration style effect, the choice of floor tiles or floor.

Balconies are paved with tiles. If there is a second floor, or a Fuji building, the upper floors are usually all covered with wooden floors. Because the rain in the south is more humid, the first floor is paved with tiles as much as possible.

It is recommended to lay floor tiles in the living room and kitchen, which are more wear-resistant and waterproof. The floor wear of the bedroom is relatively small, and the laminate floor can be laid. It is very versatile with which decoration style and living room shape, so when decorating the wall, the last process procedure, the owners who choose Nippon paint and odorless wall paint are more common.

I think this problem can be analyzed from two aspects, on the one hand, the characteristics of the color white, and on the other hand, the effect of the interior decoration of the house. All for the later use of easy to use, easy to take care of. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding, compared to other colors, white is the most difficult to maintain, easy to dirty, difficult to handle characteristics are obvious.

When decorating the house, you should choose whether to lay tiles or composite wood flooring according to your own needs, if the home is often hygienic, not damp, waterproof is very good, then you can use wooden flooring, after all, it is much more beautiful.

I think it's better to lay tiles when decorating a house, because tiles are easier to clean than laminate flooring, and they are clean, and more importantly, composite wood flooring will burn if it is in case of fire.

The tiles are better, because it is very convenient to clean in this way, and it is also very convenient to maintain, and the home is also very bright.

I think it's better to choose laminate flooring, because tiles can be very cold in winter, and I am personally a person who is more afraid of cold.

It is better to lay tiles, because this will make the whole home look very atmospheric, and it will also make the home feel bright.

It should be better to lay tiles, so that it is easier to clean, and it is also more durable and less prone to damage.

Good tiles. Tiles are not afraid of moisture, easy to clean the house, and look more beautiful.

In general, the kitchen and bathroom are floor tiles, and the floor tiles can be used in the living room, and many people in the small Dongxiang area have chosen the Youwen floor, the main reason is that the floor is warm, and the floor tiles are also bright and cool in summer. The bedroom should be made of floors, which is relatively warm and warm. Balcony floor tiles!

I think it mainly depends on your actual situation:

1.Whether there are elderly people living with you and whether the children are too young. We know that children love to move, and the hardness of the tile is relatively high, the surface is relatively smooth, after a little water, it will be very slippery, even if it is non-slip, I think this is not very good for the safety of the elderly and children.

From this point of view, laminate flooring is more suitable in terms of safety and flexibility.

2.Climatic conditions, the climate in the north is colder in winter, even if there is floor heating, but in winter tiles will give people a feeling of coldness, in the heart of people have a cold feeling.

3.Construction, the floor is more convenient than the construction of ceramic tiles.

4.Heat dissipation, the heat dissipation performance of tiles is slightly better than that of flooring. In winter, the indoor temperature may be slightly warmer, but the human body does not feel any noticeable changes.

5.**, good floor tiles and good floors, I think the cost of tiles may be slightly higher than the floor.

Personally, I recommend that you go with flooring.

6.Laminate flooring is more wear-resistant than ceramic tiles, and I think that the surface of bad tiles can be easily scratched.

You can tell the pros and cons, thank you! 

Performance-wise:

Compared with floor tiles, the wear resistance of the floor is not bad, as long as the floor wear resistance that has passed the national quality supervision and inspection can reach 6000 rpm or higher, especially the floor with the popular relief surface. The wear resistance is better, and it can even reach more than 10,000 revolutions.

From **: the brand of floor tiles is too miscellaneous, choose some brand pure floor tiles to be at least 90 yuan per square meter, small brands also need a square 70 or so, such as 80 * 80 floor tiles The general price is 50 pieces, that is, 50 divided by 78 yuan a square. In addition, baseboards, sand, cement, paving fees, freight, upstairs costs, etc., have to be at least 20 30 yuan per square meter, and if you find a decoration company, you have to be at least 20 yuan per square meter. The brand of the floor is relatively small, if you choose a well-known brand of flooring, the medium price is 80 150 yuan per square meter, the quality is very good.

Moreover, the floor paving time is short, and the site will be relatively clean. As for floor tiles, the paving time will be longer, and the cement yellow sand in the corridor and room will be scattered more.

From the comfort level:

Floor tiles feel cooler in the summer, and will have a cold feeling in the winter, and the warmth of the floor is relatively poor compared to the home. Especially in families with small children or the elderly, the mainstream tiles are vitrified tiles, which are too slippery, the elderly and children are easy to slip, and the floor is not as slippery as the floor tiles; Children generally love to play barefoot on the ground, and the advantage of the floor is even more obvious. If it is a concave and convex surface, such as a scratch line, bare feet or lying on it will have a massage effect, which is beneficial to the body and mind.

Let's talk about maintenance: the current laminate flooring basically does not need special maintenance. Just use the mop to dry it a little, don't drip water, you can wash it first and hang it for half an hour to control the water before using it. Compared with floor tiles, there is a misunderstanding among many people:

Most people think that the floor tiles are not easy to get dirty, and if there are dirty things, they will not seep into the merchant to show you that the ink cannot seep into it, but that is because the surface of the bricks is covered with a layer of wax when leaving the factory, and if you do not wax after you shop at home, it will definitely penetrate.

Great environmental awareness: As you know, the floor is made of forest, the laminate floor is used for fast-growing forest, and the floor tile is made of soil. The forest can be replanted after it has been cut down, but after the soil is dug up, even the trees cannot be planted. Which has a greater impact on the environment?

Let's talk about small environmental awareness:

The main pollutant of the floor is formaldehyde, as long as the formaldehyde content of the floor that has passed the national quality supervision and inspection is below, and the well-known brands have also reached the following, which is lower than the European standard. The main hazard of floor tiles is that some small brands are not strict in quality control, and the products are radioactive, invisible, and not suitable for identification.

Let's talk about taking up space:

The floor occupies only 1 height, while the floor tiles occupy at least 3 5cm in height. The floor is simply a layer of mat on top of the original floor to cushion and protect against moisture, and the floor tiles are covered with at least three millimeters of sand and plaster.

Flooring is divided into solid wood flooring, laminate flooring and laminate flooring; Ceramic tiles are also known as floor tiles.

Flooring and tiles have their own advantages and disadvantages, which can be compared from the following angles.

Practicality:1Whether there are frequent guests coming and going in the house, or whether the family has the habit of wearing slippers, after all, the tile is relatively wear-resistant and easy to clean compared to the floor;

2.Whether there will be a very humid time in the year, no matter what kind of wooden floor, the moisture will be deformed or corroded, but the degree is different, but if the tile is not concave and non-slip, it is necessary to consider whether there are elderly people or children in the home, easy to fall;

3.How about the indoor light, you can consider non-reflective wooden floors with strong light, and consider light-colored tiles with weak light.

Decorative: Combined with the walls, ceilings, and furniture in the living room, the whole thing is considered. For example, there are many wooden structures on the walls, and they are all wood veneer, or the furniture style is classical, and the color of the floor will look more harmonious. For example, if it is a hard line style, or the color is mainly black, white and gray, you can consider using ceramic tiles.

Economy: If you can afford it financially, or if you have the elderly and children at home, you can choose a private space such as a bedroom with solid wood flooring, which is warm and has a good foot feel, but the solid wood floor is high and a little troublesome to maintain. The second is to pave all wooden floors, which are both warm and comfortable, and easy to maintain.

One-third of people's time is spent in the bedroom, in addition to bedding, people in the bedroom most contact is the floor, since it is so important, so what kind of floor should be chosen in the bedroom?

In fact, according to the requirements of people for the quality of life, solid wood flooring has become the first choice for home decoration floor materials, and solid wood flooring is favored by thousands of users for a reason:

1. Solid wood flooring can automatically adjust the indoor temperature and humidity, reduce the occurrence of rheumatic diseases, and because of its small thermal conductivity coefficient, it has the effect of warm in winter and cool in summer (the thermal insulation effect is very good). No matter what time of the year, if people sit on the wooden floor, they will feel very comfortable, and there will be no cold and cold feeling, especially in families with elderly people and children.

2. The solid wood floor is made of natural trees and basically does not contain other chemical components, so there are few harmful substances such as formaldehyde, which is conducive to health. Its annual rings and textures can often constitute a beautiful picture, giving people a sense of returning to nature and returning to simplicity.

3. Solid wood flooring can absorb ultraviolet rays, make people's eyes feel comfortable, and prevent myopia.

4. Solid wood flooring has the functions of sound absorption, sound insulation, sound pressure reduction, and shortening the residual response time, so as to reduce the pollution of noise pollution. At the same time, the solid wood floor is moderately soft and hard, rough and smooth, which can play a cushioning role and avoid the risk of falling injuries for the elderly and children.

5. Solid wood flooring has the characteristics of no condensation and no mildew, which can avoid the reproduction of mite bacteria, reduce the production of asthma diseases, nose and allergies, and at the same time, solid wood flooring does not contain insects and other microorganisms (after high temperature and high pressure, it has killed insects and insect pupae in the wood).

6. The solid wood floor has moderate elasticity, which can ease the weight load of the footsteps and has the effect of eliminating fatigue; In particular, the antique floor can play the role of foot massage, dredge the meridians, and prolong life.
