Moreover, there is a significant price difference between different types of wooden flooring, and only by mastering the key selection points can one avoid being deceived.

(1) Choose a style

There are many styles to choose from for wooden flooring due to different types, materials, and colors. Which one is suitable for your own decoration? There is actually only one purpose: what suits oneself is the best!

You can determine the style based on style, budget, and personal preferences. Don't blindly pursue high priced products, suitability is the most important thing.

(2) Look at the brand

Those who have visited building materials stores will have a deep understanding that both brands they have heard of and those they have not heard of say how good their products are. At this time, it is important to remain calm and clarify your own needs. If it is home decoration, product quality and environmental performance are the most critical points.

(3) Compare prices

How can we buy truly cost-effective flooring with a wide range of brands and types? Generally, major brands hold several large-scale promotional events every year. If your home happens to be undergoing renovation, you can first go to the building materials market to learn about floor materials, colors, and recent activities First, determine the floor style and place an order during the event to get a more favorable price.

(4) See the trial laying effect

Those who have experience in floor selection will find that there is a significant difference between the overall paving effect and the single piece effect. Some single pieces may look good, but the overall effect is not outstanding. On the contrary, some inconspicuous overall paving effects are great.

So, try to compare some actual pavement effects to see if they meet your psychological expectations.

Also, before visiting a flooring store, it's best to do your homework and have a basic understanding of flooring. At present, wooden flooring includes solid wood flooring, three-layer solid wood flooring, multi-layer solid wood flooring, new three-layer solid wood flooring, and reinforced flooring.

(1) Solid wood flooring

Solid wood flooring is a flooring made directly from a single piece of wood, and its wood types mainly include round beans, longan, Newton beans, winged beans, sesame beans, pineapple, white wax wood, oak, oak, locust wood, teak, avocado, black walnut, etc.

These solid wood flooring materials have significant price differences, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan per square meter, due to differences in growth cycle, rarity of wood, and material characteristics.

(2) Three layer solid wood flooring

The thickness of the panel of the three-layer solid wood floor is about 3-4mm (the thicker the wood veneer, the higher the price), with a crisscross structure, that is, the panel is horizontally installed vertically with the core board, and the bottom layer of the core board is also horizontally installed. The 100% solid wood three-layer crisscross structure allows the internal stresses of the wood to adapt to each other between the layers, with high stability, and is often used in underfloor heating environments.

(3) Multi story solid wood flooring

The surface of multi-layer solid wood flooring is made of various precious tree species of hardwood veneer inlaid or sliced thin wood. Its surface thickness ranges from 0.6 to 1.5mm, and its structure is crisscrossed, making it look like solid wood flooring and much cheaper than solid wood flooring. So, the cost-effectiveness is very high.

(4) New three-layer solid wood flooring

The new three-layer solid wood flooring is a popular type of wood flooring in recent years. In terms of cross-sectional structure, it is actually not a three-layer structure, but a five layer structure. In addition to the surface board, core board, and back board, the new three-layer solid wood flooring structure also adds a wear-resistant layer on the surface and a moisture-proof balance layer on the bottom.

Their structure consists of 3, 5, or more layers. Generally, the surface layer is made of precious wood of different thicknesses, including rosewood, teak, black walnut, and other materials. The core and base materials are made of high-quality pine and other wood.

(5) Reinforced flooring

Reinforced flooring is a sturdy and durable floor with diverse decorative styles. The product structure from top to bottom is: wear-resistant layer, decorative layer, substrate layer, and balance layer.

Reinforced flooring is generally produced using fast-growing wood, which has a high resource utilization rate. This is also the main reason why reinforced flooring is cheaper than solid wood flooring. However, when choosing flooring, it is advisable to choose reinforcement with high substrate density for better quality and impact resistance.
