Qualified laminate flooring is made of one or more layers of specially melamine resin. Nowadays more and more people choose laminate flooring. So what are the advantages of laminate flooring compared to solid wood flooring?

Low price

A wide variety of styles

The high degree of wear resistance

Good stability

Durable and easy to take care of

Low price

The wear layer, the decorative layer, and the balance layer of laminate flooring are printed artificially. The base material is made of fast-growing forest timber, which is cheaper than solid wood flooring and can be produced on a large scale at the same time. Solid wood flooring is formed by whole wood, which is thrown and painted. Logs are expensive. And because the short supply of raw materials leads to high prices of solid wood. So the price of laminate flooring is generally lower than solid wood flooring.

A wide variety of styles

Laminate flooring is rich in color and pattern, fully meeting the needs of individual design. Solid wood flooring with the natural texture of the original wood, can not meet the needs of individual design, style-less variety.

The high degree of wear resistance

The surface layer of laminate flooring is a wear-resistant layer. Compared with solid wood flooring, the wear-resistant layer on most surfaces of laminate flooring is specially treated to achieve a high degree of hardness. Even if you use a sharp hard object to scratch, it is not easy to leave traces.

Good stability

Laminate flooring thoroughly breaks up the original wood organization, dry shrinkage, wet expansion characteristics and the size is extremely stable. Solid wood flooring is made of natural materials, its stability is relatively poor. Once the indoor temperature rises or is too wet and dry, solid wood flooring will face the fate of warping and deformation. The overall stability of laminate flooring is very strong. There will be no thermal expansion and contraction, etc.

Durable and easy to take care of

The biggest advantage of laminate flooring is that it is extremely durable. If there is oil and dirt on its surface, it is difficult to penetrate down. And laminate flooring is wear-resistant and dirt-resistant, does not need to wax, and the late cared for without costly effort. Solid wood floor care maintenance cost is also higher, need to wax. Encounter wood dry shrinkage and wet expansion, but also prone to buckling, deformation and other problems.
