Advantages and disadvantages

picture
Advantages 1, easy to clean.

Simple care, bright as new, not embedded dirt, easy to clean. The surface of the solid wood composite floor is painted well, has good wear resistance, and does not need to spend too much effort to maintain. It is understood that the good solid wood composite floor on the market within 3 years without waxing, but also to maintain the paint luster as new. This has become a strong contrast with the maintenance of solid wood flooring.

2, solid wood composite floor quality is stable, not easy to damage.

Because the solid wood composite floor substrate is made of multi-layer veneer composite, the wood fiber criss-cross into a network of laminated combination, so that the various internal stresses of the wood adapt to each other between the laminates, ensure the flatness and stability of the wood floor, and retain the beauty of the solid wood floor in one, can not only enjoy the warmth of nature, but also solve the shortcomings of the hard maintenance of the solid wood floor, It is a beautiful crystallization of laminate and solid wood flooring. Simply put, you can boldly use a wet mop to mop the floor without worrying about the floor getting damp and deformed. In addition, in the case of installing floor heating, the solid wood composite floor is still used for a long time, which shows how good its stability is.

Advantage 3, affordable price.

Due to the unique relationship between the structure of solid wood composite flooring, the requirements for wood are not so high, and can make full use of materials, so the price is much lower than that of solid wood flooring. And the quotation of solid wood composite floor includes installation, and the quotation of solid wood floor is the price of light board. Solid wood floor installation costs and dragon materials and labor costs to 30-50 yuan/square.

Advantages 4, simple installation.

Solid wood composite floor installation and laminate floor, do not hit the keel, as long as the leveling. In general, 100 square two installation master one day, the speed is much faster than the installation of solid wood flooring. And because the installation requirements are simple, but also greatly reduce the installation of hidden dangers.

5, the quality is good, because the solid wood composite floor materials are logs, so the foot feeling and solid wood floor, there is no difference. Solid wood flooring has some characteristics such as good feet, warm in winter and cool in summer. Moreover, the surface of the solid wood composite floor is made of high-grade wood, which looks the same as high-grade solid wood flooring.

Advantages 6, environmental protection.

It has the advantages of convenient installation and maintenance, and the solid wood composite floor uses adhesives with low formaldehyde release, and the environmental protection is good.

Cons:

1. The wear resistance is not as high as the thickness of reinforced composite floor and multi-layer composite floor;

2. The price is not high, compared with the reinforced composite floor, multi-layer composite floor, the price is expensive;

3. Due to high process requirements. The structure is complex, the quality difference is large, the internal quality is not easy to identify;

4. The unique structure of the poor environmental protection solid wood composite floor is an important reason for its outstanding performance. At the same time, such a structure also makes it inevitable to use a lot of glue in the production process, and each layer of the solid wood composite floor is glued with glue. The solid wood composite floor on the market is divided into 3 layers and multiple layers (5 or 7 layers). The more layers, the greater the amount of glue used.

5. Blisters are irreparable after damage

In addition, it is worth noting that the fusion product of solid wood composite floor and reinforced composite floor is multi-layer composite floor, which is a new generation of flooring, and the development momentum is rapid.

This kind of floor has the wear resistance of laminate floor and the deformation resistance of solid wood composite floor, with excellent performance in a variety of harsh environments (geothermal, humid, public places), there is a trend of solid wood composite floor.

Because it is the latest flooring category, the market awareness is not enough for the time being, but just like the introduction of solid wood composite flooring in that year, with the consumer's understanding of multi-layer composite flooring, the market share will gradually grow and become the main force of the domestic flooring market.
