What are the misconceptions of flooring purchase?

Myth one: scratch with a key can measure the wear resistance of the floor

More than one salesman in showing the high quality of its brand floor plate finish, choose to scratch back and forth with the key in the plate surface, and then for the reporter pointed out that there is no trace on the floor, there is a salesman with a marker in the floor surface randomly write and then easily wipe away with a rag, as a way to prove that the plate has good dirt resistance.

Expert analysis: the national standard on the surface of the plate wear resistance and stain resistance have clear requirements. Experts say that the salesman made the demonstration, in fact, is the surface of the plate should have the minimum performance, can not explain the problem. Because in the actual detection, detection means and conditions to be much more stringent.

Misconception two: the floor board or imported good

Selection of wood flooring, many consumers will be torn between the choice of domestic panels or imported panels, some salesmen also spared no effort to promote imported panels: “The environmental performance of imported panels is the best.” But the price of imported boards are also higher than domestic boards on about 20% – 100%.

Expert analysis: experts believe that, in terms of quality, the products of large domestic flooring companies are not worse than some imported flooring, where the national standards are met in the environmental performance and the use of the plate should be passed. If you take the foreign environmental protection grade E1 to compare with the domestic E0 level, it is not as good as the EO level of environmental protection which can only say that some exporting countries have a high level of quality control and relatively stable product quality. But at least to meet the Chinese national standards, otherwise he will not let him sell in China. He said that consumers do not have to be too superstitious, or based on their own economic ability to choose the best.

Myth 3: Geothermal to choose a special, or even wood flooring is not suitable.

In fact, this is a big misconception, wood flooring thermal conductivity is a little slower, but this is also an advantage, with heating and cooling is not violent, suitable for the elderly and children, but once the temperature comes up, and tile is no different.

Wooden flooring floor heating primary concern is the goal of.
Flooring environmental protection – high temperature state, the release of harmful substances. Environmental protection grade to be higher the better, this point, solid wood flooring is quite dip, other flooring E0 level, F4 star are good choices.

Flooring stability – the temperature difference under the drastic change, the more stable the better, multi-layer solid wood, laminate flooring are good, solid wood after special processing can also be.

The installation of floor heating floor – some businesses laying floor moisture-proof mat on the floor heating is, choose to add aluminum foil, said in order to quickly conduct heat. This is a misconception, which will make the floor heat more slowly. We have all seen the winter outdoor package water pipe anti-freeze it. All have a layer of aluminum foil, that is very insulating. The first step in the construction of floor heating is the laying of aluminum foil insulation layer (and floor aluminum foil moisture-proof mat like), and then on top of the cloth hot water pipeline, is to make the heat is not lost to the bottom, you store above, that’s a problem.

Myth four: three layers of solid wood to be better than multi-layer.

Multi-layer solid wood composite flooring and three-layer solid wood composite flooring are solid wood composite flooring, is a different species of solid wood veneer or parquet, with environmentally friendly glue made under high temperature hot pressing, of which, three-layer solid wood composite flooring is made of three layers of solid wood veneer staggered lamination into. Multi-layer is laminated from one piece to another. The wood is good or bad depends on the thickness of the surface wood, three layers are not necessarily thicker than multi-layer, multi-layer also has reached 2MM. Stability, three-layer also has some shortcomings, such as cracking rate is higher than the multi-layer, but the cost comparison, small size board, are similar, large size, three layers to save. Because the multi-layer is rotary cut, the large size into a low rate. As for environmental protection, it depends on what grade he did, the same level of environmental protection, there is no need to compare, the same.

Myth five: the difference between German technology, German equipment and made in Germany (for laminate flooring).

All laminate flooring can be called German technology, because laminate flooring originated in Germany. Germany is the main producer and equipment supplier of laminate flooring, of course, all the floor is the product of German technology, China has 100% of the laminate flooring factory can be called German technology manufacturing.

German equipment, that refers to the use of some or part of the German companies in China to manufacture machinery and equipment, the production of flooring, China has 90% of the factories can be called German equipment.

German original imports, the way this is stated is that the back of each floor are to have madeinGermany logo, not Germanyteach or other what, the packaging box should also have, but also by the customs import single, test report (general import manufacturers are able to provide, such as can not, that is, fake) but is the imported floor, can only explain his products in line with our Chinese National standard requirements only. As for higher standards, depending on his standard level.
