The laminate floor is a kind of composite floor, its main characteristics are stable performance, wear resistance, cheapness, color diversity, and easy care. So what are the categories?

1. Divided by thickness into thin and thick (more than 8 mm and about 12 mm).

From the point of view of environmental protection, thin is better than thick. Because of the thin, unit area with less glue. Thick, less dense than thin high, poor impact resistance, but slightly better foot feeling. In practice, however, there is little difference between the two.

2. There are standard, wide, and narrow plates in the specifications

Standard, width is generally 191-195 mm. About 1200 and 1300 in length. Wide Board, the length of more than 1200 mm, the width of 295 mm. Narrow plate, length in 900-1000 mm, width basically in 100 mm or so. 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. The wide plate specification was invented by the Laminate floor processing enterprise of our country to satisfy consumer demand. Its advantages look generous, and the floor of the gap is relatively small. Most are thickened, that is, about 12 mm. The general surface of the decorative paper is made in China, and color changes, are more flexible. The disadvantage is that the color difference is a relatively large point. The narrow plate specification is also our country's characteristic.

3. From the surface of the coating is divided into aluminum oxide, melamine, and piano paint.

Standard Laminate floor surfaces should contain aluminum oxide abrasion-resistant paper. It comes in 46G, 38G, 33G, and lower still, aluminum oxide directly on decorative paper.

Melamine surface coating, generally used for wallboard, table panel, etc., used in the wear-resistant degree is not high.

Piano paint surface coating actually will be used for solid wood floor surface paint, used to Laminate floors. It's just lighter paint. The wear resistance of this coating is nowhere near that of an aluminium oxide surface. Its wear-resisting degree is low, the solid wood floor is developing to have the aspect of a high wear-resisting degree. Unless you particularly like the coating on this surface.
