Solid wood composite flooring and reinforced composite wood flooring stability and the beauty of solid wood flooring in one, and has environmental advantages, performance value is relatively high new solid wood composite flooring, should be the development trend of wood flooring industry.

Advantages of laminate flooring

The surface layer is impregnated decorative paper containing wear-resistant materials, which ensures the wear resistance of the surface layer. It is not only resistant to cigarette burning, but also has good scratch resistance and pollution resistance. Because it is an industrialized product, coupled with mature technology and large production scale, the reinforced composite floor has the lowest price in all floors, and it is also the most popular.
