Many kinds of laminate flooring , how to escape the trap mass

Select strengthen reinforced laminate flooring combines the advantages of both wood flooring wood flooring and stone , but also to overcome the many disadvantages of both. Its natural beauty , moisture , fire-retardant , impact resistance, anti-static , non-toxic , surface abrasion resistance is more than ten times the solid wood flooring , not cracking deformation, easy to install, simple maintenance .

Currently, laminate flooring in the U.S. and European markets accounted for more than 80% share in Beijing , Shanghai , Guangzhou and other cities accounted for more than 60%. However, many brands on the market , specifications arrhythmia, good and bad mixed , the price level and the poor, and the appearance of small differences , giving consumers great difficulties , here are some basic methods of laminate flooring options: use sandpaper friction force more than a dozen front floor , laminate flooring if it is false , it will be wear white , while there will be no real change in laminate flooring landscaping around pool deck.

( 2 ) to see the quality of the material
Laminate flooring is currently the choice of substrate , mostly in high-density fiberboard or particleboard , to observe whether the firm was suppressed , no distortion, no hair up , no warping, no penetration.

( 3 ) to see the floor surface
Carefully touch the surface of the wood flooring hand , does have a sense of rugged , good laminate flooring surface should be smooth . Clear and realistic wood grain texture to the surface , plate thickness equal to not damage the floor around the corner , cracking , chipping , should be intact ; surface should not have a significant mechanical scratches ; between the surface layer and the substrate decorative MDF glued the quality is better , there can be stripped , cocked , degumming best composite flooring.

( 4 ) Look thickness
International standard thickness of 8 mm , below this thickness is not strong.

( 5 ) look at the surface wear revolution
This is an important indicator of quality laminate flooring . Objectively speaking , the higher the wear rotation , the time should be longer use the floor , but the value is not a measure of the level of abrasion floor lives the sole criterion . The initial home floor surface abrasion value should be at 6000 rpm or more.

( 6 ) Look formaldehyde emission
Currently the standard release of formaldehyde per 100 grams can not exceed 30 milligrams , the international environmental organization formaldehyde emission requirements of green building materials is not more than 9 per 100 g mg, consumer choice in laminate flooring should try to pick below this standard products. The laminate flooring with the smell it, even with a slight pungent odor , which also shows high levels of formaldehyde .

( 7 ) to see proof measures
Are there special moisture-proof mats on the floor or without a thick layer of moisture , whether it is special floor waterproof glue glue. With these three measures , moisture is difficult to invade patio floor design ideas.

( 8 ) See package
If the imported goods , according to the relevant laws and regulations , there should be Chinese identity and customs inspection certificate , otherwise suspicious origin , not gullible.

( 9 ) Try swelling properties
Laminate flooring swelling coefficient as low as possible , this indicator less than 3% can be regarded as qualified, or , in the face of wet floor , or the humidity is relatively high, Mifengbuyan surrounding the case , there will be deformation , affecting normal use. Self- testing methods , it is desirable in a sample placed in boiling water for 30 minutes , to see the expansion of the floor soaked in water situation , we can determine good and bad : water and more expansive large , poor flooring.
