Laminate flooring, scientifically named impregnated paper laminated wood flooring, is generally composed of four layers of materials, namely the wear - resistant layer, the decorative layer, the high - density substrate layer, and the balance (moisture - proof) layer.

Structural Composition

• Wear - resistant Layer: Mainly composed of evenly distributed aluminum oxide, it determines the floor's abrasion resistance, service life, and the duration of the pattern's integrity. Its wear - resistance is measured by the number of wear - resistant revolutions.

• Decorative Layer: Designed through computer simulation, after scanning the real wood texture, adjusting colors, and removing some knots, it improves the clarity and saturation of the texture. It can simulate various wood patterns, imitate stone materials, or create unique patterns, offering a rich variety of colors and restoring the beauty of wood.

• High - density Substrate Layer: Also known as fiberboard, it is a crucial part of laminate flooring. It is classified into high - density, medium - density, and low - density fiberboards according to density. The density level affects the floor's properties such as modulus of rupture, thickness swelling rate due to water absorption, dimensional stability, and impact resistance. High - quality laminate flooring mostly uses high - density substrates.

• Balance (Moisture - proof) Layer: Together with the wear - resistant layer, it protects the internal structural balance of the floor and blocks the intrusion of moisture from the cement floor, preventing the floor from deforming.

Main Characteristics

• Wear - resistant and Damage - resistant: The wear - resistant layer has high hardness. Even when scratched with a sharp hard object, it only leaves a shallow mark. Its pollution - resistance, corrosion - resistance, compression - resistance, and impact - resistance are superior to most wooden floors.

• Easy to Maintain: The wear - resistant layer has good wear - resistance, compression - resistance, impact - resistance, as well as fire - retardant and chemical - pollution - resistant properties. For daily cleaning, a wrung - out cloth, mop, or vacuum cleaner is sufficient. When there are greasy or dirty stains, just wipe with a cloth dipped in a cleaning agent.

• Cost - effective: The wear - resistant layer, decorative layer, and balance layer are artificially printed, and the substrate is made of fast - growing forest wood, resulting in a lower cost than solid wood flooring. It can be produced on a large scale. Due to different substrates, the price varies greatly, meeting the needs of people from all walks of life.

• Rich in Colors and Patterns: The decorative layer can present a variety of colors and patterns through design, simulating various natural or artificial patterns, meeting personalized design requirements, and being suitable for different decoration styles.

• Good Fire - resistance: It reaches B1 - level fire - retardant performance, which is safer compared to other wooden floors.
