What are the common floor classifications?
1, solid wood flooring: Solid wood flooring is a floor made of wood without splicing. It has the advantages of warmth, softness, natural and pleasant, sound insulation and good foot feeling. According to the different processing shapes, it can be divided into flat floor (flat wood floor) and tongue-and-groove floor (tenon wood floor); According to the different processing methods, it can be divided into parquet floor and vertical wood floor.
2. Solid wood composite flooring: Solid wood composite flooring is made by interlacing boards of different tree species, which overcomes the shortcomings of wet expansion and dry shrinkage of solid wood flooring to a certain extent, with small dry expansion rate and good dimensional stability, and retains the natural wood grain and comfortable foot feel of solid wood flooring. Solid wood composite floor not only enhances the stability of the floor and the aesthetics of the solid wood floor, but also has the advantage of environmental protection.
3. laminate flooring: laminate flooring, also known as impregnated paper laminate flooring/laminate flooring, consists of a wear-resistant layer, a decorative layer, a high-density substrate layer and a balanced (moisture-proof) layer. Impregnated paper laminated wood floor is a floor which is made by impregnating thermosetting amino resin with one or more layers of special paper, spreading it on the surface of wood-based panels such as particleboard and high-density fiberboard, adding a balance layer on the back and a wear-resistant layer on the front, and hot pressing.
4. Cork floor: Cork floor is an expensive product in floor building materials, but many consumers don't know what material and technology cork floor is made of, and whether the quality of cork floor is commensurate with the expensive price. Cork mainly grows in Quercus variabilis along the Mediterranean coast and the Qinling Mountains in China at the same latitude. The raw material of cork products is the bark of Quercus variabilis.
5. Bamboo flooring: Bamboo flooring is a new building decoration material. It is made of natural high-quality bamboo. After more than 20 processes, the original pulp juice of bamboo was removed, pressed at high temperature and high pressure, painted in multiple layers, and finally dried by infrared rays. Bamboo flooring brings a green and fresh wind to the building materials market with its natural advantages and many excellent properties after molding. Bamboo flooring has the natural texture of bamboo, which is fresh and elegant, giving people a feeling of returning to nature, elegance and exquisiteness.
How to buy high-quality floor?
1, solid wood flooring skills:
(1) Texture: it is the standard to judge the quality of the floor. Regular texture is beautiful and generous. Don't choose those floors with messy textures.
(2) Color: The high-quality solid wood floor should have natural color tone, clear wood grain and visible materials. If the floor surface is dark and the paint layer is thick, it may be intended to cover up the surface defects of the floor, especially when the floor is six-sided.
(3) Cracks: Cracks in middle and low-grade floors are inevitable, but it is not good if it is too big. There are some cracks between the textures of wood, which will not extend and can be used safely; But some cracks penetrate the texture, so don't buy them, because these cracks will extend and have a great negative impact on the future.
(4) Knot: Knot, which can be divided into living knot and dead knot. As a natural product, it is impossible to have joints. Reasonable joint distribution will make wood products more beautiful. Defective joints are not allowed in high-quality products. According to national regulations, all loose joints with a diameter of ≤3MM and loose dead joints with a diameter of ≤2MM are not regarded as defective joints.
(5) Moisture content: Due to the different geographical locations of cities in China, the local equilibrium moisture content is different. When you choose, you should consult a professional salesperson, so that you can buy a floor with a balanced moisture content and a partially balanced moisture content.
2, solid wood composite floor purchase points:
(1) Type: There are mainly three-layer solid wood composite flooring and multi-layer solid wood composite flooring in the market, and consumers can choose according to their own needs.
(2) Environmental protection: All urea-formaldehyde resin solid wood composite floors have a certain amount of formaldehyde emission, and the formaldehyde emission of environmental protection solid wood composite floors must meet the requirements of the national standard GB 18580-200 1, that is, ≤1.5 mg/L.
(3) Brand: the brand that values the solid wood composite floor, even the solid wood composite floor made of high-grade wood boards has good or bad quality. Therefore, when buying solid wood flooring, it is best to buy solid wood flooring with good brand effect. And if you buy a brand-guaranteed solid wood composite floor, even if there is a problem, you can find a merchant to solve it.
(4) The color of colored floor should be determined according to the size of home decoration area, the color of furniture and the overall decoration style. For rooms with large area or good lighting, using dark solid wood composite floor will make the room look compact; In a small room, the light-colored solid wood composite floor gives people a sense of openness and makes the room look bright. According to the different functions of decorative places, choose different colors of floors. For example, the living room should use light and soft colors to create a bright atmosphere. The bedroom should use a warm floor. When the furniture is dark, it can be reconciled with the medium color floor; When the furniture is light in color, you can choose some warm floors.
(5) Certification mark: Imported flooring will have various marks in the product manual and the outer packaging box, such as the mark of European laminate flooring manufacturers association and the certification mark of Der Blaue Engel, the highest environmental protection standard in Europe. Without these inspection marks, its quality may have some problems.
3, strengthen the floor of the purchase method:
Brand (1): laminate flooring is a high-tech product. From the appearance, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad quality unless it is inspected. Therefore, we advise consumers to buy branded products. Well-known brands have generally passed the test of market operation and established a good image in the minds of consumers. Well-known brands not only guarantee product quality, but also are responsible for laying and installing. More importantly, the future service is guaranteed, so you can buy a rest assured and avoid worries.
(2) Packaging: The floor packaging produced by regular manufacturers shall be marked with the manufacturer's name, address, instructions for use and implementation standards in Chinese. In 2007, the national standard of laminated wood flooring was implemented, and its name and number were national standard: GB/T 18 102-2007 impregnated paper laminated wood flooring. Having an inspection report issued by the quality inspection agency of China; Product packaging box logo is complete. Registered trademark, manufacturer, business unit, model, quantity, address, telephone number, etc.
(3) Wear-resistant revolutions: The wear resistance of the strengthened floor mainly depends on the alumina content of the surface layer, and a certain number of wear-resistant revolutions corresponds to a certain alumina content. For domestic floors, the wear-resistant revolutions are usually above 6000 revolutions, while in public places, the wear-resistant revolutions are usually above 9000 revolutions. Can be purchased as needed.
(4) Formaldehyde emission: laminate flooring contains a certain amount of formaldehyde, which will be harmful to human body if it exceeds the national index value (1.5mg/L). When purchasing, it is most appropriate to choose products certified by the national environmental protection mark or inspection-free products.
(5) Density of base material: The density of base material (high density fiberboard) of laminate flooring should be 0.82-0.96g/cm3, and the density should not be too low or too high.
(6) Water resistance: Water resistance can be reflected by the index of water absorption thickness expansion rate. If the index value is high, the water resistance will be poor, that is, it is easy to cause dimensional changes in wet environment. Don't listen to misleading such as waterproof floor, only waterproof floor has no waterproof wood floor.
(7) Machining accuracy: After the 6- 12 floor is assembled on the flat ground, observe whether the machining accuracy is smooth and smooth with hands and eyes, and whether the tenon-groove engagement is appropriate, not too loose or too tight. At the same time, carefully check the assembly height difference and gap size between floors.
4, cork floor purchase strategy:
(1) First of all, look at whether the ground surface of the floor is smooth, whether there are bulges and whether the cork particles are pure. This is the first and most critical step in choosing cork flooring.
(2) See if the side length of the cork floor is straight. The method is: Take four identical floors, spread them on glass or relatively flat ground, and then assemble them to see if they are closed.
(3) Check the bending strength of the board by closing the two diagonal lines of the floor to see if there are cracks on the curved surface. If there are no cracks, it will be a high-quality product.
(4) Inspection of bonding strength. The method is to put a small sample into boiling water, and find that its smooth surface becomes toad skin-like, and the surface is uneven, so the product is unqualified, and the surface of high-quality products should not change obviously when they meet boiling water.
(5) Look at the brand, which is mainly the brand development history and strength. Generally, a good cork flooring brand must meet some testing standards, with at least several decades of development history.
(6) Look at the material, cork floor is made of oak bark, commonly known as Quercus variabilis. The thickness of cork is generally 4 to 5 cm thick, and high-quality cork can reach 8 to 9 cm thick. Cork is an extremely rare material. Quercus variabilis can't peel its bark until it is 25 years old, and then peel it every 9 years. Even if a tree is well maintained, it can only be peeled 10 times, so it is very environmentally friendly.
(7) Looking at the function, a good cork floor has more than ten natural advantages, such as moisture-proof, anti-slip, wear-resistance, antistatic, sound-absorbing, flame-retardant, thermal insulation, softness and elasticity, forming the most solid functional system of an environmentally-friendly and healthy floor.
Cork floors are made of the same material as wine or champagne corks. After long-term contact with wine, this material is still non-toxic and edible, which shows that its environmental protection performance is extraordinary, so it is rated as "the healthiest floor in history".
(8) Look at the color: First, the quality of the cork floor depends on whether more cork is used. Cork bark is divided into several layers: the surface is black skin and the hardest part. Under the black skin is a white or yellowish substance, which is very soft and is the essence of cork. The quality of cork floor will be higher if the essence of cork is used more. Of course, because the floor has to bear the weight and pressure, it is normal to use black leather for the floor backboard, which can improve the impact resistance.
(9) Look at density: the density of cork floor is divided into three grades: 400-450 kg/m3; 450-500 kg/m3; More than 500 kg/m3. Generally, 400-450 kg/m3 is enough for a family. If there are heavy objects indoors, you can choose a slightly higher one. In short, you can try to choose a low-density floor, because it has good elasticity, thermal insulation, sound absorption and vibration absorption.
5, bamboo floor purchase knowledge:
(1) Look at the manufacturer, compare the service: As far as most consumers are concerned, it is difficult to distinguish the quality of bamboo flooring from the surface, and the unqualified bamboo flooring quality is only gradually exposed in use. Then buying bamboo flooring depends on the strength of the manufacturer, because only the floor produced by the manufacturer with strong technical force, complete detection means and high degree of mechanization can guarantee the quality.
(2) Specific material: Compared with other bamboo fibers, authentic bamboo is hard and dense, with high compressive and bending strength, wear resistance, high density, good toughness and low flexibility.
(3) Control of moisture content: Due to the different humidity in different places, the moisture content standard for purchasing bamboo flooring is also different, so we must pay attention to the adaptability of moisture content to the local area. At present, there are many untreated and shoddy bamboo floors on the market. Easily affected by moisture and moisture. After installation for a period of time, the floor will turn black, lose luster, shrink and deform, so be careful to identify it when buying.
(4) Insect-proof and mildew-proof: When purchasing bamboo flooring, we should emphasize the quality assurance of insect-proof and mildew-proof. Never buy bamboo flooring that has not been soaked, cooked or carbonized by strict special effects against insects and mildew.
(5) High-temperature and high-pressure gluing technology: the bamboo floor is glued at high temperature and high pressure. High temperature, high pressure and gluing have strict process standards and testing standards. In the market, some manufacturers and self-employed people use manual pressure or soil mechanical pressure, and the glue can't be guaranteed, so it is easy to crack.
(6) Whether the six sides are painted: Because the bamboo floor is a green natural product with pores on the surface, it may be deformed if it absorbs moisture, so the periphery, bottom and surface must be sealed with paint. Normal bending will not affect the quality of use, and it can be leveled automatically during installation.
(7) Surface impression: A good bamboo floor is painted with imported high-grade paint, which has the functions of anti-static, non-vacuuming, high temperature resistance and wear resistance. Therefore, the surface texture and quality of polyurethane and polyester coated with other floor paints are several times stronger.
