The flooring, that is, the surface layer of the floor of a house. Normally it is made of wood or other material (PVC plastic). Wood floor has the characteristics of beauty and durability, comfortable and natural living, warm in winter and cool in summer, which can well show a person’s noble life taste. However, when you choose the flooring you to decorate your house, many attention you have to consider, such as Floor surface selection or Formaldehyde emission. Hold the floor and place it in a bright place to see if there are cracks, dead knots, pinholes, mildew or other defects on wooden floor surface; This indicator is a relatively important indicator, which can be measured by experiments. Therefore, test data can be obtained from operators. It can also be tested by the simple method. Open one package, take out the floor, put your nose close to the floor and smell it. If you smell a strong pungent smell of formaldehyde, the formaldehyde concentration in the air has exceeded the standard. Well, as expert of floor products, I will introduce more information about floor.
Laminate flooring
Laminate flooring (or called floating wood tile) is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product, which is integrated with lamination technology. Laminate flooring simulates wood with a photographic Decal layer under a clear protective layer. The inner core layer is usually composed of melamine resin and fiberboard materials.
Laminate flooring is quite easy for a DIY owner to install because laminate flooring clicks together with a tongue and groove locking system. Planks interlock among one another to create a seamless, natural wood look.
This is a matter that is often overlooked by many people, although it is very important for thickness of laminate flooring. A thicker laminate is preferred, which means it will withstand wear. It also resists bending and reduces noise.
A typical laminate floor consists of elements in different layers, which are bonded together in the form of sandwiches. High density fiberboard (HDF) is a kind of fiber-based wood composite with a density greater than 0.85g/cm3. It is the most widely used core material in the manufacturing of composite floor.
High pressure laminate (HPL) and direct pressure laminate (DPL) are two methods for flooring manufacturers to produce composite flooring.DPL is generally composed of four separate layers, that is, the top layer (surface of laminated flooring) is melamine wear-resistant protective finish.
The design and overall appearance of laminate flooring will also be an important consideration. In this case, consider the color you want, and it should complement the internal installation of the space. More importantly, you also have to look at the texture, which will greatly affect its appearance. You can choose high gloss if you like it to have a mirror finish. You can also consider the design of hand scraping.
Vinyl flooring
High quality vinyl flooring, commonly known as LVT (luxury vinyl tile) and LVP (luxury vinyl plate), is the most common click vinyl type on the market. Luxury vinyl tile or board is a waterproof floor that is easy to install and maintain. Luxury vinyl tiles are usually affordable and perfect for budget projects, rental properties and residential projects.
Vinyl planks and ceramic tiles both are durable flooring options. However, as time goes on, ceramics will break up. Tiles are more likely to be damaged than vinyl (for example, dropping something heavy on the surface). If you have children or pets, vinyl is also a better choice
Traditional luxury vinyl flooring, including LVT and LVP flooring, is made of a synthetic material, which is a mixture and fusion of PVC, white pigment, calcium carbonate, plasticizer, bactericide and UV stabilizer. These compounds are synthesized by heat and pressure. The vinyl compound is then added to the backing layer. Most SPC and WPC rigid core flooring will have a layer of this vinyl attached to its dedicated core.
Waterproof: vinyl flooring is a 100% waterproof material that can be installed in wet areas such as kitchens, foyers, bathrooms, basements or cafes. Application: traditional vinyl floor can be installed underground, on the ground or on the ground. It can be installed almost anywhere in the home or business. Appearance: today's digital printing technology is better than ever before. You can find beautiful LVT and LVP boards in a variety of looks, colors and styles. The texture of the floor is also very popular. DIY installation: you can find traditional vinyl glue or click lock installation. Both installations are DIY friendly, but click lock vinyl will be the easiest option. Traditional Click to lock vinyl does not require many tools or skills!
