In simple terms, the reinforced composite floor is a kind of high density plate made of wood chips and glue. The advantage of this kind of floor is wear-resistant, cheap and easy to take care. And it has strong resistance to distortion and deformation, and is dimensionally stable, especially suitable for rooms with floor heating systems. And because its pattern is printed by computer, there are many colors and patterns to choose from.

The biggest disadvantage of laminate flooring is, of course, not environmental protection. Because it uses a large amount of glue, it will produce a certain amount of formaldehyde. Moreover, this kind of floor is very hard and the comfort level is very poor. In the end, once it broke, it was difficult to repair.
The price of this kind of floor is recommended between 100-200.

Let's talk about solid wood flooring.
This kind of floor is a semi-artificial material. First, the wood is cut into thin slices, then the wood and glue are pressed together with high pressure, and a layer of solid wood skin is attached to the surface.
The advantage of solid wood composite flooring is that it is more balanced, both the foot feeling and perception of solid wood flooring, while resisting irregular deformation of the material. It's also easier to take care.
This kind of floor will also use glue, so it will also produce formaldehyde, but in terms of environmental protection will be stronger than the laminate floor.
The thickness of solid wood composite floor is divided into three types: 1.2cm (foot feeling close to reinforced composite floor, poor elasticity), 1.5cm (used more), 1.8-2.0cm (foot feeling close to solid wood floor, but the price is more expensive).
There is also the choice of surface layer thickness: the thinnest 0.6mm (looks very bright), 1.2mm (can do simple lines), 2.0 or more (looks more like solid wood floor, but the price is more expensive).
The difference between the number of layers: the less the number of layers, the more the performance is like solid wood flooring. It is recommended to choose three floors for families in the north and five to seven floors for families in the south.
The price of this kind of floor is recommended between 200-400.
