1. How to distinguish between solid wood flooring and laminate flooring

You can ask the merchant for the floor head of the selected floor, scrape and scratch the surface of the floor several times with a metal key or nail, and then rub the scratch repeatedly with the palm of your hand. If you can't see scratches at all, it means that it is more scratch-resistant; If you can see obvious scratches or see the bottom plate, it means that the wear resistance of the floor is not up to standard, and the quality is not good.

It is distinguished from deformation, wear resistance, environmental protection and other aspects.

1. Deformation: The solid wood floor is made of pure natural wood raw materials, which have not been processed and are natural, and naturally receive the unique properties of wood, which is easy to arch and deform. This phenomenon is generally not present with processed laminate flooring.

2. Wear resistance: Solid wood flooring is not very good in terms of wear resistance, and in composite flooring, the wear resistance of solid wood parquet is far from that of laminated flooring. Laminate flooring has some special ingredients added to it, so it is far superior to ordinary solid wood flooring in terms of wear resistance.

3. Environmental protection: The solid wood floor using natural wood is of course the best product for environmental protection, and the composite floor more or less uses some additives, so its formaldehyde and other indicators are beyond the solid wood floor.

This is not difficult to distinguish, to be honest, in fact, solid wood flooring is definitely not suitable for floor heating, it is not recommended that you choose solid wood, in fact, it is better to choose a composite one, I personally recommend that it is better to choose a composite one, and to be environmentally friendly;

Solid wood flooring: It is a solid wood material after the surface, side and other necessary processing, used for the floor material on the ground, is a healthy and environmentally friendly product from nature, it preserves the original texture, color and wood smell of wood, the characteristics of natural solid wood make the solid wood floor have the characteristics of regulating indoor temperature and humidity; The elasticity of wood can soften the impact of the foot and make the foot feel comfortable; The disadvantage is that the consumption of forest resources is large, and the cost is relatively high. This kind of flooring is all natural.

Does not contain harmful gases such as formaldehyde.

Laminate flooring: the surface is a wear-resistant, flame-retardant decorative layer, the surface texture is imitation wood grain paper, and the inner layer is high-density particleboard or fiberboard. The surface veneer pattern is consistent, wear-resistant and hard, and it is easy to lay. The disadvantage is that the service life is short, and the decorative layer cannot be restored after it is destroyed.

Bamboo flooring: crack the natural bamboo into strips, remove the bamboo skin and bamboo bag, select the bamboo slices at the bamboo diameter part, and turn them into bamboo after cooking, degreasing and dehydration, and splicing and pressing them. The shape is straight, the structure is tight, the texture is straight, the hardness is high and its refreshing personality is loved by the majority of consumers.

The disadvantage is that there is no temperature control function of solid wood, and it is cold in all seasons.

The single identification method is: the solid wood floor is all whole wood, there is no adhesive layer, and the surface is painted. Hardwood flooring is generally 18 mm thick. As long as you turn the hardwood floor back and forth, you can see it carefully.

The composite flooring is pasted with several layers of materials, including the base material, the surface of solid wood, or the surface of other materials, no matter how it is combined, it is a number of layers of bonding, as long as the bonding is inseparable from the chemical adhesive, which has the problem of pollution, so no matter how "environmentally friendly" composite flooring, it is not as good as the real environmental protection of solid wood flooring. Although laminate flooring is thicker than ordinary laminate flooring, it is generally around 12 15 mm.

From the point of view of the wear resistance of the floor surface, some composite floors absorb the production method of laminate flooring, and use the method of laminate flooring surface to make the surface, and its wear resistance exceeds that of solid wood flooring. But if the surface layer of laminate flooring is solid wood, it is the same as solid wood flooring.

From the point of view of the expansion and contraction deformation of the floor, the laminate floor is stronger than the solid wood floor, because the deformation rate of the composite floor is very small due to the pasting of several composite layers.

Depending on the characteristics of both types, a common choice is to use laminate flooring (or laminate flooring with high wear resistance) in the living room and hardwood flooring in the bedroom.

It is not easy to distinguish on the surface, but you can see it at a glance at the side, the solid wood floor is made of wood, with the texture of the original wood, and the composite floor is made of a layer of veneer on the MDF, and its side is the MDF, which can be known at a glance

The hardwood floor is a whole layer of wood, without glue and the surface is spray painted. The thickness of the hardwood floor is generally 18mm, as long as you turn the hardwood floor over and take a closer look. Laminate flooring, pasting multiple layers of material, including base materials, but also solid wood surfaces, or surfaces of other materials.

Laminate flooring is thicker than ordinary laminate flooring, but it is also around 12-15 mm on average. From the point of view of the wear resistance of the floor surface, some composite flooring absorbs the method of laminate flooring, and the surface is made by the method of laminate flooring surface, and its wear resistance exceeds that of solid wood flooring. But if the surface of laminate flooring is solid, the same goes for solid wood flooring.

From the point of view of the scale deformation of the floor, the laminate floor is stronger than the solid wood floor, because the deformation rate of the laminate floor is very small due to the pasting of the composite layer.

Depending on the two characteristics, the common choice is laminate flooring (or hard-wearing laminate flooring) in the living room and solid wood flooring in the bedroom.

Generally, the ** of solid wood flooring ranges from 200-500 yuan per square meter, and some even reach thousands of yuan per square meter.

1. Different in terms of environmental protectionLaminate flooring uses a large amount of adhesives in the processing process, which contains harmful gases to the human body, especially to children. The formaldehyde emission of solid wood flooring is almost zero, so it is more environmentally friendly for families.

2. The comfort of use is differentIn terms of comfort of use, wood flooring is significantly better than laminate flooring, mainly because of the low thermal conductivity of wood, which allows you to walk comfortably barefoot on it no matter what the season.

3. The reasons for arching are differentThe reason for the arching of the solid wood floor is determined by the degree of dryness of the keel, if the quality of the keel is not good, it will seriously affect the use of the solid wood floor, so the arching of the solid wood floor is not necessarily the reason for the floor, and the choice of accessories is also very important. On the one hand, the arching of the composite floor is caused by the problem of the floor substrate, and on the other hand, it is caused by the accumulation of water due to careless reasons during daily maintenance.

Laminate flooring is one of the types of flooring. However, laminate flooring is artificially changed to the natural structure of the flooring oak material to achieve a certain physical properties that meet the expected requirements of the floor. Laminate flooring often refers to laminate flooring and solid wood flooring in the market.

Solid wood flooring is a floor decoration material formed by drying and processing natural wood. Also known as log flooring, it is a floor that is directly processed from solid wood. It has the texture of natural growth of wood, is a poor conductor of heat, can play the role of warm in winter and cool in summer, comfortable feet, safe to use, is an ideal material for floor decoration such as bedrooms, living rooms, and study rooms.

<> The difference between solid wood flooring and solid wood parquet is divided into the following three points: 1. Deformation; 2. Wear-resistant; 3. Environmental protection.

1. Deformation. Solid wood flooring is made of pure natural wood raw materials, which are not processed and natural, and naturally receive the unique properties of wood, which is easy to arch and deform, and the processed composite floor generally does not have such a phenomenon.

2. Wear-resistant. Solid wood flooring is not very good in terms of wear resistance, and in laminate flooring, the wear resistance of solid wood parquet is also far from the wear resistance of laminate flooring, and laminate flooring adds some special ingredients, so it far exceeds ordinary solid wood flooring in terms of wear resistance.

3. Environmental protection. Solid wood flooring made of natural wood is of course the best product for environmental protection, while composite flooring more or less uses some additives, so its formaldehyde and other indicators are beyond solid wood flooring.

The solid wood floor is made of logs, without bonding and splicing, but only painted on the surface, which is a natural decoration. Laminate flooring is glued together.

Solid wood flooring: non-toxic and non-polluting, ** high, you need to hit the keel when laying, and the foot feels comfortable.

Laminate flooring: There are two types: parquet and laminate flooring.

The difference between solid wood flooring and laminate flooring

1. Structure. Solid wood parquet: tongue and groove flooring made of solid wood panels or veneer as the surface layer, solid wood strips as the core layer, and veneer as the bottom layer, and tongue and groove flooring made of veneer as the surface layer and plywood as the base material.

Laminate flooring: Generally, there are four layers of structure, including a wear-resistant layer, a decorative layer, a substrate layer and a bottom layer. The wear-resistant layer mainly plays a protective role on the surface and makes the floor more durable; The decorative layer is generally used to imitate the texture of solid wood to make the floor look more beautiful; The substrate layer is the main component of laminate flooring; And the most important role of the bottom layer is moisture-proof.

2. Raw materials. Parquet: Generally divided into 3 layers and multiple layers, it is made of solid wood veneer staggered layers. The surface is generally made of high-quality hardwood slats or whole boards.

Laminate flooring: Laminate flooring is made by pressing wood chips, wood residue, and scraps. Only a layer of veneer on the surface. Some are still artificial.

3. Wear-resistant. The abrasion resistance of parquet flooring is also far from that of laminate flooring. Laminate flooring adds some special ingredients, so it is better in terms of wear resistance and can be used in public places.

4. Environmental protection. Compared with the reinforced composite, the formaldehyde content of solid wood parquet is lower, and adhesives are used in the production process, and general adhesives contain formaldehyde. Of course, this is not absolute, it depends on the number of floors, the quality of the floor, and the level of formaldehyde content.

Solid wood flooring is the ground formed by the drying and processing of wood.

Decorative materials. 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 part of China is 12%, and the floor moisture content in the southern region should also be controlled within 14%.

Laminate flooring is a popular flooring material in recent years. It is made by pressing the log at high temperature and high pressure by a hot press 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 resistance 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 easy to care for with a wide range of areas, which 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.

In a nutshell: solid wood flooring includes all-solid wood flooring (the overall profile is all logs), solid wood composite (made of multiple layers of solid wood bonded), and laminate flooring (the core material is MDF).

Laminate flooring includes both solid wood parquet and laminate flooring, but generally refers to laminate flooring.

To be honest, I face the floor every day, and I really don't know how to explain it to you, solid wood flooring is made of natural wood, and laminate flooring is only one layer of solid wood sheet (veneer) on the top, and a substrate underneath, which is what we call particleboard.

It is not easy to distinguish on the surface, but you can see it at a glance at the side, the solid wood floor is made of wood, with the texture of the original wood, and the composite floor is made of a layer of veneer on the MDF, and its side is the MDF, which can be known at a glance

Solid wood flooring is made of wood, while composite flooring is generally made of MDF, there is a fundamental difference between the two, mainly look at its side, you can know it at a glance.

You can go to the building materials market and you will know it all.

When it comes to which is better, parquet flooring and parquet, what is the difference, I will describe it from the following five aspects, environmental protection, comfort of use, aesthetics, etcArching, . .In terms of maintenance, you can also choose the right floor through the comparison I made.

1.Environmental protection. Laminate flooring uses a large number of adhesives in the processing, which contains more or less harmful gases to the human body, especially to children, while solid wood flooring is more environmentally friendly for the human body because the formaldehyde emission is almost zero.

However, because the raw materials of solid wood flooring are all wood, it is not environmentally friendly in terms of resource and environmental protection. 2.Comfort of use.

Wood flooring is significantly better than laminate flooring, mainly due to the low thermal conductivity of wood, which allows people to walk comfortably barefoot on it, regardless of the season. 3.Beautiful.

The surface layer of the diamond board is a layer of printed paper, which will fade once it is exposed to the sun, while a good solid wood floor is natural wood and has no problems in this regard. 4.Arching.

Due to the production of raw materials, the floor will inevitably be deformed after being damp, so there is a coefficient of dry and wet expansion rate in the national standard for flooring. However, solid wood flooring is reflected in the dryness of the floor, and laminate flooring is radial flexural strength. There is another reason for the arching of the solid wood floor is the dryness of the keel, if the quality of the keel is not good, it will seriously affect the use of the solid wood floor, so the arching of the solid wood floor is not necessarily the reason for the floor, and the choice of accessories is also very important.

On the one hand, the arching of the composite floor is caused by the problem of the floor substrate, and on the other hand, it is caused by the accumulation of water due to careless reasons during daily maintenance. If there is no human arching, it is a matter of the quality of the floor. 5.

Maintenance. The maintenance of solid wood flooring is more troublesome, of course, the high-grade floor needs to be carefully cared for, and now some of the parquet is more expensive than the solid wood floor, of course, the maintenance has to be more careful, and the laminate floor also needs to be maintained, but relatively speaking, it is relatively easy, and it is usually mopped with a non-dripping cloth. The above is the relevant introduction and difference between solid wood flooring and solid wood parquet, I believe that many decoration owners should have understood, try to choose big brand flooring when choosing flooring, I believe they are more guaranteed in terms of quality and after-sales.
