NEWGOOD FLOORING

Many families choose flooring when decorating. Compared to floor tiles, although flooring may be more expensive and troublesome to maintain, many people feel that flooring is more useful than floor tiles. So what are the types of flooring? What are the characteristics of different flooring? Let the editor tell you now.

1、 Types of flooring

1. Solid wood flooring

Solid wood flooring is a floor decoration material formed by drying and processing wood. It has the characteristics of natural patterns, comfortable foot feel, and safe use, making it an ideal material for floor decoration of bedrooms, living rooms, study rooms, and other areas. The decorative style of solid wood is back to basics, with a natural texture. In today's era of declining forest coverage and strong advocacy for environmental protection, solid wood flooring is even more precious.

2. Composite flooring

Composite flooring arranges solid wood panels, core panels, and base plates in a crisscross manner, glues them together, and presses them into boards at high temperatures. Due to its unique structure, it has good stability. Compared to solid wood flooring, it is more affordable and therefore increasingly popular among consumers.

3. Reinforced composite flooring

Reinforced flooring is generally composed of four layers of composite materials, namely wear-resistant layer, decorative layer, high-density substrate layer, and balanced (moisture-proof) layer. Qualified reinforced flooring is made with one or more layers of specialized impregnated thermosetting amino resin. Covering the surface of high-density boards and other substrates, a balanced moisture-proof layer is added on the back, a decorative layer and a wear-resistant layer are added on the front through hot pressing.

2、Characteristics of different flooring

1. Solid wood flooring

Solid wood flooring has the advantages of warm winter and cool summer, good touch, good elasticity, good sound insulation, sound absorption, insulation performance, and refurbishment. However, solid wood flooring retains the characteristics of wood to the greatest extent, so it inevitably has drawbacks such as non wear resistance, easy deformation, fear of acid, alkali, and so on. Considering all aspects, solid wood flooring is suitable for laying in ordinary residential areas such as bedrooms, living rooms, and study rooms.

2. Composite flooring

Composite flooring has advantages such as natural beauty, comfortable foot feel, wear resistance, heat resistance, impact resistance, flame retardancy, mold resistance, moth resistance, sound insulation, insulation, non deformability, and convenient laying. However, the surface of the solid wood composite floor is relatively thin, and maintenance must be taken seriously during use, otherwise there may be delamination. Solid wood composite flooring is suitable for laying in ordinary residential areas such as bedrooms, living rooms, and study rooms. In addition, due to its good stability, solid wood composite flooring can also be used as a geothermal floor.

3. Reinforced composite flooring

Reinforced composite flooring has advantages such as wear resistance, a wide variety of designs, and fashionable designs. It can simulate various natural or artificial patterns. In daily use, this type of floor is relatively easy to care for. Simply use a wrung out cloth, mop, or vacuum cleaner to clean it. If the floor is greasy or stained, wipe it with a cloth dipped in cleaning agent. Compared with solid wood flooring, the wear-resistant layer on the surface of reinforced flooring is specially treated and can achieve high hardness. Even if a sharp hard object such as a key is used to scrape, it will not leave any marks. Reinforced composite flooring is also suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, study rooms, etc.

Common types of flooring include solid wood flooring, composite flooring, and reinforced composite flooring, all of which have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to determine which flooring to choose based on actual usage, and the selected flooring should meet the usage habits of that area.
