Regarding origin, popular laminate floors on the market are often produced in: Vietnam, Germany, Malaysia, Thailand, China,... in which customers love Thai laminate flooring, due to its quality. Guaranteed quality and reasonable price.

In terms of size, wooden floors have many different thicknesses including: 7mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 15mm,... the most popular are 8mm and 12mm.

• 8mm wooden floor: The flooring meets the necessary standards, used for residential spaces, offices, etc. with relatively high traffic density.
• 12mm wooden floor: It is the perfect choice for areas with high traffic density such as shopping centers, schools, etc. 12mm thickness will help the floorboard have good bearing capacity, effective impact resistance, and improved durability construction.

Green core wood floors and black core wood floors have higher density, so they are more resistant to termites and mold than yellow core wood.

Structure and application of industrial Laminate flooring

The general structure of laminate flooring includes 4 layers and a click-lock system. The structural layers are tightly bonded together using high-pressure compression technology, specifically as follows:

• Surface protection layer: Made of aluminum oxide coating material with a thickness of approx 0.1 mm. The main function of the surface protection layer is to improve scratch resistance (the index showing scratch resistance is AC), prevent fading, limit stains and waterproof the floorboards.
• Decorative layer: It is a layer of wood grain printed paper about approx 0.2 mm create diverse designs and colors.
• Wood core layer: Usually approx 8 - 12mm is composed of wood pulp 80 - 85%, the binder accounts for 10 - 15% , and 5 - 10% The rest are accompanying additives. The wood produced is only harvested from licensed forests and is formed after the process of boiling - drying - grinding wood. Depending on the production technology, the wood core has unique features of water resistance, termite resistance, load resistance, anti-warping, etc.
• Backing layer: Mainly composed of approx. thick synthetic resin 0.2 - 0.5mm helps protect the floor from below, prevents moisture from penetrating the foundation and reduces noise when moving.
• Lock button: Connect the floorboards with negative - positive joints, improving stability and convenience during installation. Each brand will have a different design of the lock.

Laminate flooring is currently widely used in many different spaces, from homes, offices, to public buildings, specifically:

• Housing: Flooring the living room, bedroom, kitchen, children's room, office,...
• Public works: Making floors for hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, schools,...

Advantages and disadvantages of laminate flooring

Below is information about the pros and cons of laminate flooring.

Advantages

Laminate flooring has 6 outstanding advantages such as: good bearing capacity, effective stain resistance, safe for human health, long-term durability,...

Bearing good

The bearing capacity of laminate flooring falls into the IC2 index (withstands force of about 20N).

IC (Impact Resistance) is an index showing the load-bearing capacity of Laminate wood floors with a unit of kg/m². Currently, there are two popular IC indices: IC2 and IC1.

Anti-fouling

Manufactured using advanced technology, the outer surface protection layer prevents scratches due to friction and UV rays and also helps stains not stick to the floor for a long time and is easy to clean.

Health safety

Laminate flooring is strictly controlled for formaldehyde content (a gaseous organic compound with a pungent odor and negative effects on human health), so it ensures health safety.

According to Circular 04/2023/TT-BXD promulgating National Technical Regulations on construction materials products and goods according to QCVN 16:2023/BXD, Formaldehyde concentration in laminate flooring must meet the required standards. E1 number (≤ 0,124mg/m³ or not >9 mg/100g) is absolutely safe for users.

Durable

The average lifespan of laminate flooring is 15 - 20 years, even longer if users use and maintain it properly. Because laminate flooring is produced with the main ingredients being wood powder, additives, etc., going through a high compression process, providing effective scratch resistance, force resistance, and warp resistance.

Quick construction

Laminate flooring is designed with smart locks. The pre-designed system of negative and positive seams helps the floorboards bond tightly together. This factor makes installation easier, saves time and construction costs while still ensuring high accuracy.

Various models

Laminate flooring today has many designs for users to choose from, from bright neutral tones to warm tones. The wood grain patterns on the surface of the floorboards are also very diverse, from simple to sophisticated and sophisticated. Besides, floors are also produced with many designs from large slabs, small slabs to herringbone floors,... users have many options for their projects.

Temperature control

Laminate flooring has low thermal conductivity. According to Wikipedia, the thermal conductivity of wood materials (0.13 - 0.18 W/mK) is lower than that of concrete (2.1 W/mK). This keeps the floor from getting too cold in the winter. Furthermore, the wood core is formed from small wood fibers, with a special texture that allows them to circulate air, reducing the feeling of heat in the summer space.

In addition, wooden flooring also helps users save money on air conditioning equipment. From there, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions, in accordance with the criteria of a green building.

Note: The temperature regulation ability of Laminate Flooring also depends on thickness and air humidity, specifically:

• The thicker the floor, the lower the thermal conductivity and the slower the ability to dissipate heat.
• High air temperature will reduce the floor's ability to dissipate heat.

Disadvantages

Besides the above outstanding advantages, laminate flooring still has some limitations such as not being suitable for use in wet areas and being susceptible to termites.

Not suitable for damp or humid areas

99% of laminate floors are not water resistant except for some types that are guaranteed by the manufacturer with a flood warranty (Note: The product only limits damage due to water, not 100% waterproof). Because of that, when wooden floors are exposed to areas with high humidity for a long time, the wooden floors can blister, warp, and become damaged.

Susceptible to termite infestation

Although termites are treated during the production process, not all laminate floors have good termite resistance. Some products are made from synthetic wood and used in environments with high humidity will be favorable for bacteria, mold, and termites to develop and attack through gaps in the wood core.

Termite-resistant wooden floors are wooden floors manufactured from quality wood sources that are naturally resistant to termites (for example, tropical hardwood). At the same time, the product uses modern production technology (high compression), helping to increase resistance to attacks from termites and other insects.

Factors affecting the price of laminate flooring

The price of laminate flooring can fluctuate depending on many of the following factors.

Cost of raw materials

Floors using high-density HDF wood core, produced from wood harvested in European countries, will have a higher price than Asian countries.

Production cost

Using modern machinery and applying advanced production technology to help create flooring lines with superior quality will also increase product prices.

Floor size and thickness

Large sized wooden floorboards often cost more than small sized wooden floorboards. The greater the thickness of the wooden floor, the higher the price.

Accessories included

The higher the cost and material of accessories, the price of wooden floors will also increase. Common types of wooden floor accessories are foam, rubber, splints,...

Transportation and installation costs

The farther the distance from the supplier to the project, the higher the transportation cost. At the same time, projects with large areas, many angles, etc. will also increase installation costs.
