What should be paid attention to in the selection of laminate flooring?

Consumers should pay attention to the following points when purchasing laminate flooring.

1) Select the grade. According to the design requirements of laminate flooring, as a home decoration, the mid-range and above grades are completely fine.

2) Visual inspection. Choose your favorite color and pattern. There should be no chromatic aberration and the texture should be consistent.

The surface of the wood grain sticker should not have dry and wet flowers (dry flowers are opaque white dots, uneven dipping paper, wet flowers are foggy), stains, scratches, indentations, bubbling, porosity and paper tears, etc., and the surrounding tenon and groove are intact. Observe the processing accuracy of laminate flooring, and measure whether its length, width, and thickness are the same as those described in the product. It is also necessary to observe the jointing, after splicing, there can be no uneven feeling at the interface, the seam should be tight, and the joint of the tongue can not be loose.

3) Selection of abrasion resistance. The composite floor itself is characterized by wear-resistance, as a home use, its index - wear-resistant speed is correspondingly lower than the requirements of public places, generally 5000 6000 revolutions can be.

4) Green and environmental protection. For the overall ecology of the earth, composite flooring is a kind of green environmental protection products, its materials are some leftover materials, saving a lot of positive materials, reducing the cutting of trees, protecting forest resources, and can be called green environmental protection in a broad sense. However, for the family, the green decoration should be pollution-free decoration, and the adhesive of the composite floor must be mainly urea-formaldehyde resin, and the composite floor contains formaldehyde to varying degrees.

Formaldehyde is a harmful substance in the decoration of the room, but consumers do not have to be overly nervous, very little formaldehyde (below the allowable value of the national standard) will not pose a hazard to the human body, therefore, consumers must show the certificate of conformity of the national quality inspection department when purchasing, and the doors and windows should be opened for ventilation after a period of time before moving in, and it is best to put some green plants indoors.

1. Choose a well-known and reputable brand.

2. Environmental protection must have a test report to meet the standards.

3. The test report shows that the surface wear resistance coefficient is more than 6000 rpm.

4 Its internal material is made of high wood.

In fact, as early as Europe and the United States, parquet has become the type they often buy when decorating the floor, the composite floor generally has a clearer and good-looking wood grain, and it also feels comfortable and stable after the foot, these characteristics make many people in China choose to use this composite floor when decorating, pay attention to three precautions when purchasing composite flooring is conducive to better purchase, they are: check the wear-resistant coating on the surface, determine the use location, and determine the amount of formaldehyde released.

When purchasing laminate flooring, the abrasion resistance of laminate flooring depends more on the wear-resistant coating on the surface of the floor. Before buying, we can find out about the coated hand spike used. In addition, the paint board can be placed at an angle next to it to see if the paint film is thick and uniform from the end surface of the floor to see if there are any problems.

Generally, laminate flooring with good wear resistance is more suitable for use in living rooms and other places, and it is also easier to clean.

When purchasing laminate flooring, you need to determine the use position of the purchased laminate flooring, and different use positions have different requirements for composite flooring. For the bathroom and other places that often see water, it is not very suitable for use, some bedrooms and living rooms and other locations, you can use a lot of laminate flooring.

When purchasing laminate flooring, the formaldehyde emission is a more important indicator, which we can generally know through inspection tests and instrument tests. China's wood flooring health implementation standards refer to: GB18580-2001 E1 level, E1 formaldehyde emission less than E0 level is usually only the industry standard in the national market.

It is only commonly used in the industry. If there are tablet companies in the market that advertise their own floor as E0, you have to be careful**.

When purchasing composite flooring, pay attention to the above three precautions, so that you can choose products that are truly suitable for your own decoration needs, so that the decoration of the floor is truly beautiful and practical.

You can get it for free

One is to buy the corresponding floor according to your own decoration plan price, you get what you pay for, buy high and buy low is not cost-effective for you, and the second is to find a relatively well-known brand in the market, don't believe in the cheap and good quality.

Third, the first environmental protection floor on the market will not be less than 80 yuan square.

Fourth, the composite floor is afraid of blisters, and when mopping the floor, the mop water is slightly dry. It doesn't matter if everything else,

There are two main types of flooring: laminate flooring and solid wood flooring. The use of laminate flooring or solid wood flooring is the confusion of every decoration netizen. Laminate flooring and solid wood flooring can be compared from the following aspects: 1. Environmental performance.

Solid wood flooring is a floor formed by drying and processing of natural wood, which has a good thermal insulation and noise insulation effect, and can be recycled and has high environmental protection.

Laminate flooring is a new type of flooring based on wood-based panels, with relatively more glue and other chemicals, and poor environmental performance.

2. Wear-resistant.

Laminate flooring is a high-density fiberboard, so it has good wear-resistant, pressure-resistant, corrosion-resistant and moisture-proof functions. Hardwood flooring is a natural wood that is not highly resistant to wear and pressure.

3. Pavement effect.

Solid wood flooring has a beautiful texture, fragrant smell, a certain color difference, good visual effect, and good foot feeling. The wood grain of laminate flooring is not real, the water absorption is poor, and the foot feel is not good.

4. Cleaning and maintenance.

Laminate flooring is simple to clean and maintain, and the wood of solid wood flooring is highly variable, flammable, and not resistant to corrosion, so the cleaning and maintenance process is more complicated.

In short, solid wood flooring is natural, real, environmentally friendly and durable, difficult to care for, and naturalness is greater than functionality; Laminate flooring is economical and easy to care for, and it is more functional than decorative.

To choose laminate flooring, you can choose by following these steps:

Before purchasing, you must first know the level, orientation and area of your residence, and it is best to draw a floor plan for overall planning, specifically allocate the use functions of each room, and then choose the floor according to local conditions; Generally speaking, young people are busy with work and study, so it is impossible to be completely consistent with the requirements of the elderly and children. It is also necessary to consider the performance of the floor, whether it is temporary or long-term, and whether it will cause operation and damage to the surrounding buildings during the paving construction; Finally, you should also consider your own financial ability and budget for decoration costs.

1. Wear-resistant revolutions.

This is an important goal in measuring the quality of laminate flooring. Objectively speaking, the higher the number of wear-resistant revolutions, the longer the time of floor use, but the concave and convex wear resistance value is not a specific specification to measure the service life of the floor. Under normal circumstances, the wear-resistant rotation of composite flooring reaches 10,000 revolutions to be an excellent product, and the lack of 10,000 rotations of products may show different degrees of wear and tear after 1 or 3 years of use.

2. Expansion rate after water absorption.

This index is still very important, generally stipulated in 3% for qualified, such composite flooring, in the case of wetter or higher humidity, basically will not appear deformed, does not affect the normal use.

3. Formaldehyde content.

The content of formaldehyde is also very important, because it is related to physical health, many friends do not pay special attention to this, according to the international mark, generally per 100 grams of composite flooring, the content of formaldehyde can not exceed 9 mg, otherwise it is unqualified composite flooring.

Notes:

1) Pay attention to quality Don't just try to be cheap.

The wear-resistant layer of a good floor generally uses more than 45 grams of imported solid aluminum oxide, and the wear resistance reaches more than AC3; The secondary floor uses about 20 grams of domestic wear-resistant layer, or even no wear-resistant layer; The secondary floor decorative layer is blurry and fake, and the sun will fade after long-term exposure; The core material of the good floor has high density and uniformity, long pure wood fiber, low formaldehyde release, moisture-proof and no deformation; The core material of the secondary floor is mostly miscellaneous wood staple fiber and has a large amount of bark, resulting in the blackening of the core material, low and uneven density, and the need for a large amount of glue bonding, so the formaldehyde release is seriously exceeded, and it is easy to deform and bulge when wet.

2) Choose branded flooring and don't buy miscellaneous brands.

Brand flooring its business strength is relatively strong, there is a good after-sales service, professional installation team, reliable quality products, is the so-called tree big wind, the state and social supervision is larger, generally will not cheat, and will maintain their own good reputation. And the miscellaneous five inferior floors (weird board, short-lived board, crisp core board, Li ghost board, workshop board) now occupy a market share of 30, which is generally to follow the trend, can only imitate the production, although the claim and the quality of the brand-name floor is no different, but in fact these inferior miscellaneous floors do not have the slightest quality assurance, not to mention after-sales service, they generally shoot a place to change, or change the name and then sell, so that consumers are at a loss, become the culprit that affects health.

3) Choose a service and don't believe in false promises.

Because after the floor is ordered, there must be a fixed professional installation team for installation, and there must be specific installation specifications and service requirements. Many businesses selling inferior floors on the market promise a warranty of 15 years, 30 years or even a lifetime warranty for free maintenance, saying that the quality of their floors is better than that of imported floors, in fact, it is nothing more than tricking consumers to buy, and they will leave after earning money for a year or two.

4) Pay attention to comprehensive environmental protection and do not believe in fake certification.

Health is this, the biggest killer of decorative materials is free formaldehyde, environmental protection of the material to the human body is dizzy and nausea, and it will cause leukemia and other malignant diseases, so the most important thing in environmental protection is to choose the floor accessories to be fully environmentally friendly, to see whether the floor has China Environmental Label Certification.

Expansion rate after water absorption.

This index can be regarded as qualified within 3%, otherwise, the floor will be deformed when it encounters moisture, or in the case of relatively high humidity and poor sealing around the perimeter, which will affect the normal use.

Formaldehyde content. This is a key indicator of whether the products we choose are harmful to the body, but it is easy for consumers to overlook. According to the European standard, the formaldehyde content per 100 grams of flooring shall not exceed 9 mg, if it exceeds 9 mg, it is a substandard product.

Floor thickness. At present, the thickness of the floor on the market is generally 6 12 mm, and the thickness should be thicker when choosing. The thicker the thickness, the longer the service life, but at the same time, the actual needs of the family should be considered.

Assembling effect. You can take the sample of the two floors and assemble it to see if it is neat and tight after assembly.

The weight of the floor. The weight of a floor depends mainly on the density of its substrate. The substrate determines the stability of the floor, as well as impact resistance and other indicators, so the better the substrate, the higher the density, the heavier the floor.
