2. Simple construction

In the process of installation, there is no need to hit the keel, directly leveling can be done, but also to increase the height of the floor. The installation requirements are not complicated, which can save installation time and reduce installation risks.

Moreover, in many actual test results, even natural wood may contain trace amounts of formaldehyde below 0.1 mg per liter. That is to say, zero formaldehyde flooring basically does not exist, at least the current technology is not possible, and some so-called zero formaldehyde flooring is only close to zero formaldehyde content.

Although composite wood flooring may contain formaldehyde, the regular brand of composite flooring sold on the market today has passed the national E1 environmental standards, and you can rest assured that you can use it.
