Once you decide to lay wooden flooring, pure solid wood flooring, three-layer and multi-layer composite and laminate composite can be one of the options. When choosing, you don’t have to worry about the tree species, just choose the pattern and color you like.

The anti-slip and soft properties are suitable for families with elderly people and children, and can also play a certain role in regulating humidity.
In addition, many problems with wooden floors are caused by installation, and poor construction will waste good materials.
In homes using floor heating, the temperature should be gradually increased or decreased when turning it on and off to avoid cracking of the floor caused by excessive temperature differences.
It's safer to choose a solid wood floor that's close to its natural color. Be mindful of defects like wormholes, decay, color differences, and missing edges. Cracking and paint peeling are less likely, and the floor will last for decades without any problems.
During daily use, furniture should not be dragged on the floor. If a heavy object is accidentally dropped, it may create a small hole in the floor.
There are mops specifically designed for wooden floors. After mopping, pour wax on the mop and mop it more often. Waxing once a month or not at all will not affect performance. When using floor heating, occasionally wet mop to humidify the floor.

Solid wood composite flooring is made of boards of different tree species that are laminated horizontally and vertically. The surface layer is hardwood, which to a certain extent overcomes the shortcomings of solid wood flooring that swells and shrinks when wet and dries. When deformed, the stress can offset each other, greatly reducing the possibility of deformation and cracking of the floor, and retaining the natural wood grain and comfortable feel of solid wood flooring. It has the appearance of solid wood, reduces costs, and has better stability.
Compared with three-layer composite, multi-layer board veneer is only 1-2mm thick, and the general thickness is 13mm-15mm, which has higher resource utilization rate.
It uses less glue and is cheaper than solid wood flooring. It is a natural material close to solid wood.
However, if it is a cheap multi-layer solid wood board, the glue will affect its environmental performance, especially when the floor heating is turned on.

Laminate flooring's surface consists of a wear-resistant layer (aluminum oxide) and wood-grain paper (melamine paper). The center layer is high-density board, a man-made board made by pulverizing wood, adding adhesive, and then subjecting it to high temperatures and high pressures. The wear-resistant layer is shatter-resistant and scratch-resistant, the wood-grain paper is indistinguishable from the real thing, and the high-density board offers exceptional stability.
Laminate flooring is easy to install, but it uses a lot of glue. However, cheap laminate flooring is not environmentally friendly, as if the manufacturer cuts corners and uses inferior glue, the formaldehyde content will exceed the standard.
Because it is artificially pressed with sawdust, and the super wear-resistant layer on the surface is very hard, although it feels like the bumps and grooves of wood grain when you touch it with your hand, it actually feels very solid when you step on it. It is suitable for installation in kitchens and private bathrooms without showers.
Tips for choosing solid wood composite flooring: three looks and one touch
1. Look at the wood grain paper. Don’t buy paper with repeated patterns on the surface. It may be a veneer.
2. Look at the cross section. For three or more layers of solid wood composite flooring, you can see the cross sections of different layers of wood.
3. According to the test report, the formaldehyde emission must reach at least E1 level (≤0.124mg/m³).
4. Touch it with your hands and you will find that it is made of soft, solid wood.
Try to go to the actual site to see the floor samples to confirm whether it is solid wood composite, be careful with veneer flooring!! Be careful with the thickness of the board!!!) Or choose a safer choice, that is, multi-layer solid wood and three-layer solid wood flooring that uses less glue.
Whether it is wooden flooring or customized furniture panels, they are the main source of home decoration pollution. When choosing the panels, we must be extremely cautious.
Ketian's water-based plywood, blockboard, ecological board, wood fragrance board, particleboard and other products use the patented third-generation water-based polyurethane formaldehyde-free adhesive. Its environmental performance fully complies with the new national standard ENF-grade formaldehyde-free board and national green board standards, and meets the European E0, Japanese F4 star and US CARB formaldehyde limits, meeting the requirements of export boards. It is the preferred board for non-toxic whole-house custom furniture.
