At present, there are more types of wooden floors on the market, and various new concepts emerge in an endless stream. The propaganda means of merchants are also varied. In the face of surging information, consumers often fall into some misunderstandings when shopping. So, what misunderstandings do you have when choosing flooring?

Mistakes A hardened laminate flooring harder and more durable
In the exhibition hall, it is often seen that flooring companies use two floor-to-knock methods for hardness comparison tests to show that the brand's flooring is of good quality and more durable. Many consumers are also very much in agreement with the logic of this type of test method. They believe that the harder the laminate flooring, the better the quality and the more durable the product.
Expert Comments: Judging whether the floor is durable, it is necessary to integrate multiple indicators: surface wear resistance; floor density (ie, hardness), this index is related to the impact resistance of the floor; the water absorption of the floor, this index determines the The water resistance of the floor; the internal bond strength, that is to see if the floor has delamination, the strength of the layered floor will be reduced. These factors combined to affect the durability of the floor, only in the case of other indicators are the same, in order to prove the harder and more durable flooring.
Misunderstanding two floors thicker and heavier
In recent years, the thickness of the laminate flooring has been continuously increasing. From the current mainstream thickness of 6 mm to the current 12 mm, there are 13 mm and 15 mm thick floors on the market. Many consumers also believe that the thicker and more weight-bearing floors will be stronger and more durable.
Expert Comments: The life of the floor depends to a certain extent on the quality of the floor covering. Whether it is a thick floor or a thin floor, once the surface is worn it cannot be used. The thicker floor has a good foot and high cost. Therefore, there are many decisive factors that affect the quality of laminate flooring, not just thickness. When the price of the product is the same, it is better to buy 8mm thick brand flooring, and do not buy 12mm thick brand floor. In addition, due to the huge differences in product cost, process, and production technology, the service life of miscellaneous heavy plates may not be as long as that of the big brands.
Misunderstanding 3 only solid wood flooring is environmentally friendly
It is understood that to strengthen the composite and solid wood flooring in the production process to use adhesives, formaldehyde is one of the main components of the adhesive, and solid wood flooring in the production process does not use adhesives. Therefore, many consumers think that composite flooring contains formaldehyde and is not environmentally friendly. Only solid wood flooring does not contain formaldehyde, so it is environmentally friendly.
Expert Comments: It is not only solid wood flooring that is environmentally friendly, as long as the floor complies with national standards are harmless to the human body. First of all, from the environmental protection of the solid wood flooring, whether the paint used on the solid wood floor is environmentally friendly determines whether the product is environmentally friendly. Second, if the adhesive used for wood flooring is an environmentally friendly product, the formaldehyde emission is very low and the environmental performance can be fully satisfied. Third, the content and release of formaldehyde are not the same concept. If the floor substrate contains formaldehyde, but the amount of release is small, it will not affect the human body; if the substrate used is well sealed, the formaldehyde emission of some laminate floorings is smaller than that of natural wood. China's implementation of formaldehyde emission on the floor is a mandatory environmental protection standard (E1 standard: formaldehyde emission ≤ 1.5mg/L), and the processing technology of the reinforced floor itself is sealed on both sides. When the installation is completed, the four-sided notches are tightly connected, allowing Formaldehyde releases less than 1% of the exposed area.
In addition, the content of formaldehyde in the floor is not as low as possible. If the content of formaldehyde in the substrate is too low, the floor strength will decrease and the water swelling rate will increase, as long as the amount of formaldehyde released from the floor meets the national standard. In fact, formaldehyde is not so terrible, it also contains a small amount of formaldehyde in foods, such as beer, formaldehyde content of 2mg / L, fruit also contains a certain amount of formaldehyde.
Misunderstanding four multi-layer parquet is the least environmentally friendly
Many consumers intuitively believe that the number of layers of multi-layered solid wood flooring is more, and the adhesive used is certainly more. As a result, the amount of formaldehyde released is definitely more than that of three-layer parquet.
Expert Comment: This issue cannot be generalized. The same thickness of the floor in the premise, the more the number of layers on the floor means that the amount of glue is more, it is certainly a multi-layer parquet with a larger amount of glue. However, if the adhesives used in the multi-layer solid wood composite floor and the three-layer solid wood composite flooring are environmentally friendly products, the release amount of formaldehyde in the environmental protection rubber is very low, and the difference in formaldehyde emission between the two is not significant. If the adhesive used is not an environmentally friendly product, formaldehyde release from multi-layer parquet may be higher than that of the three layers.
Misunderstanding five colors, texture is consistent is a good floor
In newspapers and on the Internet, consumers often find themselves arguing that the solid wood or engineered wood they purchase is different from the one they see in the store in color and texture. Therefore, there are serious problems with the quality of the product.
Expert Comments: The same wood because of the different sapwood and core materials and sawing direction, the color and texture of wood will certainly not exactly the same, which is the charm of natural wood. If pure pursuit of color and texture are consistent, this "natural beauty" cannot exist. Even in the national standards of flooring, there is no color difference. The difference in color and texture is not a product quality issue. Consumers should have an objective understanding of this.
Misunderstanding six material more expensive floor is better
There are dozens of types of wood or solid wood flooring materials available on the market, ranging in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Many consumers believe that the more floors made of rare materials, the better the quality.
Expert Comments: The rare tree species material is not necessarily a good species of stability. The so-called "scarcity", the price of the type of material also depends on its rarity, the more rare the more expensive, and the price of the other species is also related to the appearance of their appearance; but rare and beautiful does not mean that performance is more Well, in fact, some of the precious materials made of flooring are not as stable as ordinary materials. Consumers should not blindly advocate noble materials when purchasing.
Mistake seven locks more floor more firmly
"Single lock", "double lock", "three locks", "four locks"... In the company's publicity, the number of floor locks is constantly on the rise, many manufacturers also use this as a selling point, suggesting that the lock The more buckles, the more secure the floor is.
Expert Comment: The lock floor is a structure that connects the floor blocks through the physical force of the locks. Due to the locking force of the locking floor, the floor will extend around as the temperature changes, avoiding local bulges and solving the problem of intrinsic deformation of the floor. In fact, whether the floor is connected firmly is not the number of lock stages but the range of the ambient humidity. For the northern areas, the summer is relatively humid and the winter is relatively dry. If the floor is inflated in the summer, the rooms are symmetrically discharged with heavy furniture on both sides. In winter, the air is particularly dry, and the floor is thus shrinking. Even the three locks can still be locked. The buckle pulls open, so the lock floor requires the use of environmental cooperation.
Misunderstanding eight bump texture more wear-resistant
At present, many floor brands have introduced antique floors with bumpy textures. During the visits by reporters, it was also found that many businesses would say that bump textures will increase the wear resistance of the floor.
Expert Comments: The smooth surface of the floor, the principle of force is surface contact, and the object can be more contact area; and the surface of the floor with concave and convex texture is the point and the line of contact, the contact area is relatively small. Under the same conditions of wear resistance of the wear-resistant layer, the surface of the floor with uneven texture is more resistant to slippage, and the abrasion resistance is relatively inferior.
