Finally, the editor recommends that the brand ranked among the top ten brands of laminate flooring is Jixiang Wood Industry. This brand occupies the high-end thin boards in the field of medium and high density fiberboards. With a market share of 70%, it is a successful example of IFC's investment in mainland China. Jixiang Flooring has a full range of products, including high-fiber density boards, decorative boards, reinforced composite boards and other products.
Introduction to the classification of laminate flooring
The first point is that in terms of thickness, there are thin and thick ones (more than 8 mm and about 12 mm).
From an environmental perspective, thin ones are better than thick ones. Because it is thin, less glue is used per unit area. The density of thick ones is not as high as that of thin ones, and their impact resistance is poor, but their foot feel is slightly better. In fact, the difference is not big.
Second point, in terms of specifications, they are divided into standard, wide board and narrow board.
Standard, the width is generally 191-195 mm. Length around 1200 and 1300. For wide boards, the length is usually more than 1200 mm and the width is about 295 mm. For narrow boards, the length is 900-1000 mm and the width is basically around 100 mm. Similar to the specifications of solid wood flooring, most are called imitation solid wood flooring.
The standard specifications are adopted by most members of the European Flooring Producers Association. This is still the case. Our country has imported the most advanced laminate flooring processing lines in the world, which also adopt standard specifications. In other words, most of the products produced by large laminate flooring manufacturers using imported assembly lines are still of standard specifications. There are many dealers on the market who claim that their products are imported. A common saying is: imported products do not have wide plate specifications and thicknesses of about 12 mm. It should be the vast majority of imported floors, which do not have wide board specifications or thickened sizes.
Wide board specifications were invented by my country's laminate flooring processing companies in order to meet consumer demand. Its advantages are that it looks generous and has relatively few gaps in the floor. Most are thickened, that is, about 12 mm. Generally, the decorative paper on the surface is made in China, with many changes in colors and designs, and is relatively flexible. The disadvantage is that the color difference is relatively large, and the decorative paper has poor UV resistance.
Narrow plate specifications are also a characteristic of our country. Solid wood floors look generous, are too expensive, and have poor stability. Flooring manufacturers in my country have made imitation solid wood floors, which have the same specifications as solid wood floors. They are cheap and stable, and have V-shaped grooves on all four sides. The thickness is basically about 12 mm. It has been in the market for less than a year and is very popular.
The third point is that surface coatings include aluminum oxide, melamine, and piano paint.
The standard laminate flooring surface should contain aluminum oxide wear-resistant paper. It has 46 grams, 38 grams, 33 grams, and even lower ones, spraying aluminum oxide directly on the decorative paper. National regulations stipulate that the surface wear-resistance of laminate flooring for indoor use should be above 6,000 revolutions. Only floors with 46 grams of wear-resistant paper can ensure that the requirements are met. The wear-resistant rotation number of 38g wear-resistant paper can reach 4000-5000 rpm; the wear-resistant number of 33g is lower; the wear-resistant number of directly sprayed aluminum oxide can reach 2000-3000 rpm, which is very good. The one with low wear resistance has lower material cost; because of its low wear resistance, the tool cost during processing is also low. On the contrary, if the wear resistance is high, the cost itself will be much higher.
Melamine surface coating is generally used for wall panels, desktop panels, etc., in places where wear resistance is not required. In the flooring industry, floors with this type of surface coating are called false floors. Its wear resistance is only 300-500 revolutions. If used intensively, the decorative paper on the surface will wear out in two or three months. Standard laminate flooring will not have such problems after 10 years of normal use. There is no wear-resistant layer on this type of floor decorative paper, and the pattern looks nice and clear. It is also smoother to the touch. This is where laymen can easily be fooled.
The surface coating of piano paint is actually the paint that will be used on the surface of solid wood floors and is used for laminate floors. It's just a brighter paint. The wear resistance of this coating is far less than that of aluminum oxide surface. Its wear resistance is low, and solid wood floors are currently developing towards high wear resistance.
Unless you really like this kind of surface coating.
The fourth point is that according to the characteristics of the floor, it can be divided into crystal surface, embossed surface, lock, silent, waterproof and so on.
The crystal surface is basically flat. Easy to take care of and tidy up.
When viewed from the front, the relief surface is no different from the crystal surface. When viewed from the side, when touched by hand, there are wood grain-like patterns on the surface.
Locked, the joints of the floor adopt the locking form, which controls the vertical displacement of the floor and the horizontal displacement of the floor; the original tongue and groove type, often referred to as tongue and groove flooring, Only the vertical displacement of the floor can be controlled. No matter how early the wooden floorboards are, there are no tongues and grooves at the joints, and the displacement in any direction cannot be controlled. Therefore, the floorboards often tilt up, causing stumbling when walking, which is very inconvenient.
Silent, that is, adding cork pads or other cork-like pads to the back of the floor. After using cork floor mats, the noise of stepping on the floor can be reduced by more than 20 decibels (data quoted from the cork floor mat factory), which has the effect of increasing foot feel, sound absorption, and sound insulation. This plays a positive role in improving the comfort of laminate flooring. It is also a direction for the future development of laminate flooring.
For waterproofing, waterproof resin or other waterproof materials are applied to the tongues and grooves of the laminate flooring, so that moisture and moisture from the outside of the floor are not easy to invade, and formaldehyde inside is not easy to be released, making the floor more environmentally friendly. The performance and service life are significantly improved; especially when it is laid over a large area and it is inconvenient to leave expansion joints and pressure strips, it can prevent the floor from arching and reduce floor shrinkage joints.
To sum up, the embossed ones are really good-looking; if you use the same gram of wear-resistant paper, the crystal ones are relatively more wear-resistant than the embossed ones; the silent ones do feel better, but they are more expensive. ; Waterproof, very cost-effective, not many people know its function yet.
The above editor will introduce to you the current situation of the top ten brands of laminate flooring, and also introduce to you the current classification of laminate flooring. I hope that through the editor's introduction, everyone can have a better understanding of laminate flooring.
