BEIJING, Oct. 30 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Himfr.com
( http://www.himfr.com/hot-products/ ), one of China's leading B2B search
platforms with more than 30 B2B industry websites to its name, has learned
that more than 81% of consumers choose wooden boards to decorate their rooms.
Of those, 31% preferred engineered and laminated flooring
( http://www.chinaqualitycrafts.com/buy-laminated_flooring/ ). The floor board
market is divided into four segments; solid wood flooring, engineered flooring
( http://www.chinaqualitycrafts.com/buy-Multi_layers_engineered_flooring/ ),
bamboo flooring ( http://www.chinaqualitycrafts.com/buy-bamboo_flooring/ ),
and laminated flooring
( http://www.chinaqualitycrafts.com/buy-laminated_flooring/ ). Consumers have
hundreds of different types of flooring to choose from when they are deciding
which materials to use. This makes it difficult to settle on a single product.
When trying to distinguish the type of floor material that is best, consumers
should opt for the most suitable product, regardless of how popular any
particular material might be.
Comparison of Solid Wood with Four Types of Floor Boards -- Solid Wood
Flooring is Priced Higher
Solid wood flooring
Solid wood flooring
( http://www.chinaqualitycrafts.com/buy-solid_wood_flooring/ ) can be divided
into hardwood flooring and cork flooring. Hardwood flooring has a hard texture,
good resistance, flexibility, dry properties, is easy to clean and is
naturally beautiful, among other characteristics. The material usually used in
here is birch, walnut, locust wood, begonia wood, beech wood and others.
High-grade wooden boards tend to be made of cherry wood and longan trees. Cork
flooring is mainly pine ( http://www.cheaponsle.com/buy-pine_wood/ ) or fir
wood.
On the whole, solid wood flooring has a good texture, natural color, good
insulation, etc., but hardness is bad.
Engineered flooring price differences are large
Engineered flooring is made up of three different types of wood that have
been bonded together. The surface uses beech, birch, oak, cherry or other hard
woods. The middle and bottom layers use soft wood, such as pine. Engineered
flooring can help consumers to cut their costs.
Multi-layer engineered flooring
( http://www.cheaponsle.com/buy-Multi_layer_engineered_flooring/ ) uses
multi-layer plywood for the basic material, while its surface is a mix of
hardwood sheets, laminated together via a urea-formaldehyde resin.
The degree of wearability of this kind of board is between the solid wood
flooring and the engineered flooring, and the hardness is lower than solid
wood flooring and laminated flooring.
The price of laminated flooring is more cost-effective
Laminated flooring ( http://www.cheaponsale.com/buy-laminated_flooring/ )
is composed of three materials. The bottom layer creates balance and plays a
role in fighting moisture. The middle layer of fibre board creates density,
which gives the material an ability to resist strong impacts and not deform
easily. The surface is covered by melamine, wear-resistant layer in decorative
layer, the intensity of anti-wear much higher than wood and also have a good
fire-retardant, and anti-corrosion, moisture.
Also, compared with the above two types of flooring, laminated flooring's
surface can be printed with different kinds of grain, giving consumers
different styles to choose from. It is convenient and also saves wood. However,
it has poorer flexibility than solid wood flooring, so its biggest advantage
is the relatively inexpensive price.
Bamboo Flooring has good price and performance
Bamboo flooring ( http://www.himfr.com/buy-solid_bamboo_flooring/ ) is
made of treated bamboo. It has natural beauty and is very wear-resistant, but
it also has anti-pest qualities, is flexible and, as a result, is
earthquake-resistant. Bamboo flooring is very durable, moisture-resistant,
easy to use, and reduces the overall use of wood, making it a good choice for
those who are concerned about protecting the environment.
Consumer Tips: When selecting a board type, it should meet six standards.
1. Be sure to purchase laminated flooring only from well-known enterprises.
Products should have clearly identifiable packaging and a visible
indication of the State Department's report of the products' testing.
2. Check the formaldehyde release rates. Laminated flooring formaldehyde
emissions should be less than or equal to 1.5mg/L.
3. Look at the density. The density matrix of laminated flooring should be
0.84-0.9/cubic cm, Smoke density that is too high or too low is not
appropriate.
4. Look at water-resistant properties. If there is poor water resistance,
wet conditions can result in the boards warping into different shapes
and/or sizes.
5. Look at the finishing of the product. Make sure that it is smooth
6. Sale + installation + warranty. Installation should achieve inspection
standards, and the vendor should ensure the integrity of the product
via after-sales service.
