Just after the Spring Festival, we ushered in the peak period of decoration, but many consumers do not know how to start when purchasing building materials, and they are not very clear about the details. Today, the small editor through the evaluation of two types of flooring, taught everyone to distinguish and purchase Solid wood flooring And solid wood composite floor.
The two products selected by Xiaobian are respectively Jiusheng Red Oak Solid Wood S-36-6 and Jiusheng Red Oak Composite S-36-1. These two products are North American family products launched by Jiusheng Flooring. The same series launched by the same brand is more intuitive to distinguish.
Appearance comparison
As can be seen from the figure, the appearance patterns of the two floors are similar, because the visible materials of the two floors are red oak wood, but the difference is that the surface color of the solid wood floor is slightly darker than that of the solid wood composite. This is a common phenomenon of solid wood flooring. The color of different wood and different positions of wood will be slightly different. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase the floor produced in the same batch when purchasing. When paving, you can select and pave according to the color of the floor.
Material contrast
Viewed from the front, both floors are made of red oak wood. Quercus has obvious structural characteristics: shiny, obvious growth rings, ring hole wood, beautiful and unique texture, solemn and generous chord texture, and elegant radial texture; It not only has its unique decoration effect, but also can match with a variety of decoration styles. Oak has high strength and beautiful texture; Impact resistant and elastic; Corrosion resistance, good adhesive performance, is a good wood species for flooring.
Jiusheng floor Red oak solid wood S-36-6 is a solid wood floor, which is a floor decoration material formed by drying and processing natural wood. It presents the natural log texture and color pattern, giving people a natural, soft and affinity texture.
Jiusheng Flooring Red Oak Composite S-36-1 is a solid wood composite floor. The solid wood composite floor is interlaced and laminated by plates of different species. The wood layer of the floor can be clearly seen from the floor picture.
Because of different production methods, solid wood floor and solid wood composite floor have the following characteristics respectively.
Solid wood floor is a kind of floor decoration material formed by natural wood after drying and processing. Its natural log texture and color patterns give people a natural, soft and affinity texture. Because of its warm in winter and cool in summer, it has a good touch, making it an ideal material for floor decoration of bedrooms, living rooms, study rooms, etc. The decoration style of solid wood is simple and natural. At the same time, because of the material, the solid wood floor has the characteristics of humidity regulation, sound insulation, and green harmless. However, it is precisely because of the material limitations that the solid wood floor has high requirements for paving. Once the paving is not good, it will cause a series of problems, such as noise. If the indoor environment is too wet or dry, the solid wood floor is prone to arching, warping or deformation. Always wax and oil after paving, otherwise the gloss of the floor surface will disappear quickly.
The solid wood composite floor is formed by interlacing and laminating boards of different species, which to some extent overcomes the shortcomings of solid wood floor wet expansion and dry shrinkage. The dry shrinkage and wet expansion rate is small, with good dimensional stability, and retains the natural wood grain and comfortable foot feel of the solid wood floor. The solid wood composite floor has both the stability of laminate floor and the beauty of solid wood floor, and has the advantage of environmental protection. Similarly, the solid wood composite floor also has certain disadvantages, such as high process requirements, complex structure, large quality differences, and difficult to identify the internal materials. Compared with the solid wood floor, the solid wood composite floor must use glue. Although the glue has a high environmental quality level, the formaldehyde content still exists.
Waterproof test
When purchasing the floor, consumers can simply test the waterproof performance of the floor according to the situation. For example, pour a little water on the floor surface, and observe the shape of the water after a few minutes. If the shape of the water does not change significantly, it indicates that the surface waterproof performance is good.
Pollution resistance test
In daily life, it is inevitable that the floor surface is dirty. When purchasing, consumers can also simply test the dirt resistance of the floor surface. Prepare a whiteboard pen and draw on the floor surface. When the whiteboard pen writing is completely dry, wipe the writing with a paper towel or rag. If the writing is easy to wipe off, it indicates that the floor surface has good stain resistance.
The surface stain resistance of the solid wood S-36-6 of Jiusheng floor red oak and the composite S-36-1 of Jiusheng floor red oak tested by the small knitting machine are both good.
Evaluation summary:
After a series of evaluations, we believe that we have a certain understanding of the difference and purchase of solid wood flooring and solid wood composite flooring. Small weavers remind that floors made of different materials have different characteristics. However, if you want to make floors last for a long time, you need consumers to use them carefully and take more care of them to get their long-term returns.

According to the Forecast and Analysis Report on the Production and Sales Demand and Investment of China's Wood Floor Manufacturing Industry from 2013 to 2017, the sales volume of Chinese floor manufacturers in 2010 was about 399 million m2, up 9.6% year on year. The sales volume of laminate flooring is about 238 million m2, up 12.3% year on year; Solid wood floor is about 43 million m2, with a year-on-year growth of 2.4%; Solid wood composite floor is about 89 million m2, up 7.2% year on year; Bamboo flooring is about 25.3 million m2, with a year-on-year increase of 1.2%; Other floors are about 3.2 million m2, up 45% year on year. At present, laminate flooring occupies a large market share of nearly 60% in the domestic wood flooring market. Although the production and sales volume of domestic wood flooring has increased significantly in recent years compared with previous years, affected by a series of factors such as China's population and wood flooring prices, the per capita wood flooring area in China is still at a lower level than that in western developed countries. According to statistics, in 2010, the per capita area of laminate flooring and solid wood flooring in Europe alone reached 0.79 square meters, while that in China was only 0.03 square meters, a huge gap. This also reflects the huge potential demand of China's wood flooring market from the side. In addition, stimulated by a series of national policies, such as the construction plan of affordable housing and the introduction of building materials to the countryside, the domestic market demand for wood flooring will surge in the coming years. The huge market share has attracted the attention of many businesses. At present, there are more than 5000 wood floor manufacturers of different scales in China, most of which are small-scale enterprises with extensive production. Among them, there are some illegal vendors who ignore the industry norms, disrupt the industry price, confuse the floor product level, and the plagiarism is prevalent. The malicious competition among businesses has become the soft rib of the industry development. With the introduction of the new regulations, the brand concentration of flooring enterprises will accelerate, a large number of inferior enterprises will be eliminated, and domestic wood flooring enterprises will quickly usher in a reshuffle. Later, the number of domestic flooring brands will be controlled at about 100, of which the top ten flooring brands will occupy 60% of the market share.
