How to choose wooden floor?

Generally speaking, solid wood flooring depends on wood species, grade and specifications.

For some wood species that have never heard of the name, you need to find out the characteristics of the wood species before buying. When buying the wood floor for home, you need to know clearly the grade of wood floor. If a certain type of wooden floor is not marked with a grade, then you must consider it carefully. If necessary, you can consult customer service. If you are actually not sure of the grade, it is not recommended to buy. For specifications, if you don’t know how to choose, you just remember that big room with big floor shows atmosphere, and small room with small floor saves materials. And parquet mainly looks at the grade and structure.

Usually the wood floors grade is divided into excellent product, first-class product and qualified product according to the quality. And the structure is that each layer should be solid wood through the four-sided tenon. For laminate flooring, it depends on the degree of wear resistance, thickness, and base material. So, when choosing laminate flooring, you should see the quality of the wear layer. For the thickness of wood flooring, it is divided into 8mm, 12mm and 15mm. Generally, you can choose 12mm thickness for new house decoration. For the substrate, you can observe the density of the substrate from the cross section. If the more uniform the particles are, and the smaller the voids are, the higher the density is, the lower the water absorption is, and the longer the service life is. So, the experiences are sum up as below:
