Guide to choosing the thickness of laminate flooring
Laminate flooring thickness How is suitable? There are many types of laminate flooring on the market to choose from. Floors are designed in a variety of thicknesses and sizes. Many customers wonder what to choose 12mm . wooden floor or 8mm . wooden floor. The article will guide you how to choose the most suitable wood floor thickness!
6 things to note when choosing the thickness of laminate flooring
The thickness of laminate flooring is proportional to the bearing capacity and the common thickness is 8 mm , and 12 mm. When choosing the thickness of a wooden floor, we need to pay attention to factors such as: The distance between the wooden floor and the door, the frequency of travel, the density of use, the installation location and the external forces.
Distance between the wooden floor and the door
The ideal distance between the wooden floor and the door is 15mm. To achieve the ideal distance, we must choose the thickness of the laminate floor according to the distance of the foundation core and subtract the thickness of elements such as: floor foam board, brace right next to the door (if any). The distance of the foundation reinforcement is the height from the surface of the foundation to the door. Normally, the foundation will be about 28-34mm from the door.
For example, you have a base spacing of 28mm. When choosing a wooden floor, please subtract the thickness of the foam lining (2mm), the door brace (3mm) and the ideal distance from the wooden floor to the door (15mm). After deducting, you can only choose 8mm laminate flooring to meet the ideal distance.
Travel frequency
In commercial buildings (water bars, clothing stores, ...) will have a higher frequency of travel than civil works (houses, private rooms, ...). For areas with dense traffic, we need to choose 12mm laminate flooring. In addition, we should choose a floor with high abrasion resistance and scratch resistance (Floor with specifications AC4 or higher). For low-traffic areas, 8mm laminate flooring is enough.
Usage density
Floor density is the total weight exerted on the floor in a given area. The appropriate laminate flooring thickness must be calculated based on the weight of furniture and the number of people present on the floor. If you want to install wooden floors at the library, you should consider the weight of the bookshelves and the number of people coming to the library at the same time.
External force impact
When buying flooring, you must think about external forces that may affect the floor during use. If you want to install flooring in your office, you should think about the effects of a swivel chair. Not only that, you must take into account risks such as the floor being hit or dragging heavy objects. We should use wooden floors with high thickness and specifications in places where it is difficult to control external forces.
Installation location
Laminate flooring It is not only used for flooring, but also for ceiling and wall tiles. Ceilings and walls are positions not subject to many external forces. Choosing the thickness of laminate flooring for ceilings and walls does not need to take into account the frequency of travel and the density of use. You should use floorboards with thin and light ceilings to ensure safety.
8mm laminate flooring is the perfect choice for ceiling and wall cladding. In contrast, 12mm laminate flooring is the optimal choice for flooring. 12mm laminate flooring with high specifications will meet all factors such as: frequency of travel, density of use, external forces. However, 8mm Laminate Flooring carries with it many impressive features and specifications that are well worth considering.
Should use laminate flooring thickness 12mm or 8mm flooring
The question "should I use laminate flooring with a thickness of 8mm or 12mm for flooring" is asked in case we do not have financial conditions. As mentioned earlier, the thicker the wood floor, the higher the bearing capacity, 12mm laminate flooring is the most suitable flooring material in the same segment. On the other hand, 8mm laminate flooring in the high-end segment can compete with 12mm laminate flooring in the lower segment.
For example, Customer has enough financial resources to choose between 8mm thick waterproof laminate flooring and 12mm thick regular laminate flooring. Both types of flooring carry the same specifications by the intervention of production technology machines. In this case, the optimal choice is high-quality 8mm laminate flooring.
