Laminate flooring is getting thicker

The thicker the floor, the better. Before and after 1995, the thickness of the hardwood flooring was only 6 mm. In the following years, 8mm floor has always occupied the dominant position in the market. In recent years, floor thickness has continued to increase. Today, 12 mm floors have become mainstream, and 13 mm and 15 mm thick floors have appeared on the market. This industry trend has caused many consumers to have the illusion that when they buy laminate flooring, they pay special attention to thickness, and that the thicker the floor, the more weight they have, which means that they are stronger, more durable, and naturally have better quality. Is this true? "In fact, the thick plate is the same as the thin plate. Once the surface is worn out, it cannot be used. Therefore, the quality of the floor surface layer depends largely on the service life of the wooden floor rather than the thickness of the plate." Mr. Huang, an industry insider, said that the impact The decisive factor for the quality of laminate flooring is not thickness. When consumers purchase laminate flooring, the key depends on the manufacturer's material and craft level. Industry insiders reminded that if the price is the same, they would rather buy the 8mm floor of the brand's wooden floor, and don't buy the 12mm floor of the no-name brand. "It looks thick, but because of the huge difference in cost, process and production technology, the miscellaneous plate The service life may not be as good as that of the big brand." The harder the floor, the better . Miss Li, who lives in a district in Nanning Fengling, is currently buying wooden flooring. She told reporters that individual merchants had done a hardness comparison test when selling, such as knocking on the floor of their own floor with other brands to show that the floor is very hard; or to compare the hardness of 8 mm floor with 12 mm floor. The 12 mm floor is superior to the 8 mm floor in hardness. For this method of comparison, Miss Li did not know if it was credible. She said with doubt: "Is the harder the floor, the more durable it is?" In this regard, experts said that the greater the density of wood flooring, wood flooring, mechanical properties, resistance The higher the impact performance, the more its side is resistant to knocking, but not the higher the density, the better. Under the same conditions, the high density of the substrate, the greater the swelling ratio of the water absorption thickness, and the poor dimensional stability. At the same time, the hardness is high, the toughness is poor, and the foot feels uncomfortable. "Relief" flooring is more wear-resistant At present, most flooring brands have launched a "relief" floor with a bumpy texture, pursuing a more primitive and quaint effect on the floor, which is favored by many consumers. Recently, when the reporter visited the wood floor market, he discovered that some merchants were associating it with the degree of wear resistance when they introduced the “relief” floor. Some merchants said that the surface of the “relief” floor had been treated in a special way, and the floor was more than normal. Wearable; or as "bump texture to increase wear resistance" and so on. For the wooden floors such as “big relief”, “little relief”, “relief expert” and “embossed surface” that are selling well on the market, experts pointed out that most of these are nonsense. Because wear-resistance is the most important indicator of the use of wood floors, carving on the surface is bound to greatly reduce the degree of wear of the floor, reduce the processing accuracy, and easy to filth, resulting in greatly reduced quality of use. When consumers buy, do not simply pursue the surface effect, ignore the life of the product and maintenance trouble. The shallower the floor slot, the better the 12mm floor and the 8mm floor are the most different in appearance. The 12mm floor has more slots, and it has a solid wood floor covering effect. However, on the market, some businesses introduce floor slots as "shallower the better." The reason is that the floor trough is shallow and it is not easy to collect dirt and it is easy to take care of. Moreover, the floor trough is shallow, and the foot feeling on the floor is obviously better than the deep trough floor. Experts rectified that the depth of the floor trough is a production process issue and is directly related to the connection between the panels and the panels. As long as the floor buckle is firm, the depth of the floor trough is not a big problem. Now the floor slot is divided into a V-shaped slot and a U-shaped slot. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages and cannot be killed with one stick.
