2011 laminate flooring is still the main market

Since 2011, the flooring market has also been buzzing, and various manufacturers are actively preparing for the battle to expand market share. But for the classification of wood floors, it is very complicated, many domestic manufacturers have their own classification. In accordance with international standards, the classification of wooden flooring is based on materials, which are mainly divided into two categories: laminate flooring and solid wood flooring. Laminate flooring refers to high-density wood fiberboard as the substrate, the surface layer covered with alumina wear-resistant layer, melamine impregnated decorative layer, plus the underlying resin balance layer, bonded together under high temperature and pressure. Solid wood is cut directly from natural wood without bonding. Multi-layer solid wood is composed of a combination of precious hardwood surface, multi-layer cork core middle layer and medium-hardness solid wood material. It not only maintains a beautiful natural appearance, but also superior to traditional solid wood flooring in terms of stability performance. Usually there are three Layers, five layers or even more complex structures. For the laminate flooring, domestic manufacturers are basically the same as international standards, but domestic manufacturers of solid wood flooring have put forward different standards, solid wood, solid wood composite, three super solid wood, imitation wood, all wood ... ... the concept of continuous innovation, the face Different names do make it difficult for many consumers who do not understand to choose.

In the Shencheng home market, consumers have what choices. Recently, the author visited the Meixinglong Tiexi Shopping Mall, a home shopping mall in Tiexi, and conducted a survey on the purchasing trends of consumers. "Prepare to choose solid wood, solid wood flooring is closer to - natural, and there is no pollution" Mr. Wang introduced the consumer, although the price of solid wood flooring is higher, but he still chooses solid wood flooring.

"Solid wood flooring is expensive and not environmentally friendly. It is also troublesome to take care of it. The home is geothermal and cannot be used. Our home is prepared to use reinforced laminate flooring, which is both environmentally friendly and economical." Compared to Mr. Wang's nature, Ms. Lee is more Keen to use laminate flooring. In the author's subsequent visits, most consumers are more inclined to Ms. Li's point of view, choose to use laminate flooring, most consumers think that laminate flooring is easier to take care of, and wear-resistant, economical and environmentally friendly, suitable for ordinary families use.

"Most users still choose to strengthen the floor. After all, most users are ordinary working-class people. There is a price advantage to strengthen the floor, and it is more practical." In the face of the author's question, the service personnel on the floor of the Bafik floor returned. "Is there any solid wood?" "Yes, but it is still a minority, and now most new buildings are geothermal, solid wood is not suitable, and solid wood is not environmentally friendly, and the country does not support it."

It is not difficult to see through the survey that although most consumers choose to use laminate flooring, solid wood flooring still has a certain market share. Some solid wood flooring brands always emphasize the most environmentally friendly and most natural grades of solid wood flooring in product promotion. Consumers are undoubtedly misleading.

Most people in the industry believe that considering the environmental protection, stability, and decorative aspects, multi-layer solid wood flooring and laminate flooring will be the trend of future development. Because of the high price, solid wood flooring consumes a lot of natural resources, and in the geothermal and air-conditioning environment, the temperature and humidity change frequently, and it is not suitable for use in modern homes. Therefore, the sales ratio of wood floors has been declining year by year.
