			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Performance of wood floors, water from various sources, the earth itself, surface water (stormwater runoff, for example), and the atmosphere of mainland China. Let us consider various ways, causing problems of water and how they can control and prevention. With the introduction of laminate flooring, hardwood floors can be used in almost every room, even in the basement. Water or near the construction site can not be neglected or ignored.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first is the excessive amount of water will be easy to just floor of the chamber of solid wood, if it is installed. Most complaints are related to wood floors and solid wood flooring products in the surrounding water content. The impact of water on the floor. When moisture is serious, the results with suction tape, buckling, movement, and / or cracks and gaps in the flooring division. Potential sources of water, new rural construction: new construction, water can enter a house in multiple facets. When the frame is constantly increasing, 2 &#8211; 4 and flooring materials often rain. As building contractors usually work stress, require that we plan to build houses, and sometimes need time to catch the evaporating water.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Quantity of water used wet wood framed and the introduction to the industry is important. Groundwater: the water level is sometimes higher than the surface of the soil up and down depending on: heavy rain or persistent, a rainy season in spring does not seem to find a house is built, along with the flow Water 1, impermeable layer of soil. All of the foregoing may result in water penetration of the foundation wall or through the foundation or crawl space at the base. Surface water: rainwater from the roof falling on the ground or through walls or foundation. In some areas, clay can retain surface drainage, leading to the foundation wall or floor of the water pressure. surface drainage problems can also occur because the crawl space below the outside finished grade.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wood is a hygroscopic material. This means that when the wood exposed to air, dry or it will resume the balance of water, until she and the humidity and temperature. Cause swelling of the wood moisture. Removing the wood moisture content of 25-30% at the beginning, the fiber saturation point, and continued until the moisture content reaches 0%, a completely dry state. In contrast, swelling, such as wood moisture content from 0% to 25-30% moisture, the fiber saturation point. Over 25% &#8211; 30% of the dimensional stability of wood. Relative Humidity: When the humidity increases, the effect on the wood floor can be damaging.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This occurs most often in the family to live a very short period of time, as the holiday home or weekend cottage or closed off (no heating chamber, where) to save energy. If you do not use air conditioning or heating on or off, ventilation is a must, even if the house is not occupied. Otherwise, the floor will develop in high humidity, cupping and buckling occurs. This greenhouse effect &#8220;is exaggerated, even when the wood floor was installed, because the Council will address a wide range of water sports. With the basement and the following functions in relation to water. Specific to the uninitiated appears to be a solid foundation and waterproof, but it is in its own water source. Concretes to expand by absorbing water in wet weather or exposure to rain, and re Evaporation of water contracts. flooring solid wood minimum acclimated for one week. Domestication needs. domesticated trees very difficult in practice, not laminated will take several weeks. humid climate in the south-eastern Climate may take two weeks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Solid Wood is almost always from floor installation floor moisture, help control humidity. flooringon wood on the first floor will be more than the floor level of the second floor domestication.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">INTRODUCTION TO LAMINATE FLOORING<br />
Laminate flooring is a great alternative to hardwood when you want the warmth and beauty of wood flooring without the installation and maintenance hassles.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This attractive flooring solution is available in a wide range of prices, colours and grains.  It&#8217;s also more scratch and dent resistant than hardwood flooring, which makes it the perfect choice for homes with active children or pets.  Laminate flooring is the one of the most versatile, durable and well-constructed types of flooring on the market today.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">HOW TO CHOOSE LAMINATE FLOORING<br />
Laminates warranty range from 10 years to lifetime.  Entry level laminates come with a 10 to 15 years warranty but they are designed for light traffic areas.  Used in a high traffic area, they will begin to show wear and tear usually within 3 to 5 years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Remember that choosing the right laminate flooring is not as easy as it seems, but by doing that, you will save money in the long run.  Just think of things like the amount of time you are planning on staying in that house or the amount of traffic, because there is no point in buying really expensive laminate flooring with extended warranty if you know that you are moving sometime in the near future.  Also consider buying laminates with Paraffin wax impregnated joints, as this wax acts as a water repellent and prevents water from penetrating down to the core.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">TECHNICAL DETAILS<br />
Laminate Flooring is made up of six layers, and comes in varying sizes of either planks or squares with a tongue and groove interlocking system.  The surface layer of laminate is the melamine wearlayer, which is a tough clear melamine layer with aluminum oxide particles.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When fused together with heat and direct to the core the wearlayer becomes an incredibly hard, durable finish.  The resin-filled wearlayer is so dense it becomes extremely difficult to stain, scratch, or burn.  The second layer is the Print Layer, which is the decorative layer giving the flooring its appearance of real hardwood or tile.  The third layer is a clear thin plastic sheet that floats freely above the substrate before the laminate floor is floated.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Melamine is a plastic-type resin used throughout the construction process to add durability and stability to the laminated planks.  The thickest layer is the core, consists usually of high-density fiber board (HDF), particle board to add resistance and form the tongue and groove locking system.  Melamine plastic resins are used to improve moisture resistance of the core by some manufacturers.  A thing you should consider when buying laminate flooring for bathrooms or kitchens is it&#8217;s core.  A thicker core is more stable, less vulnerable and sounds more like the real hardwood floor when walked on.  Quality laminate cores are treated with water repellent chemicals.  The melamine plastic backing is used to add more structural stability and moisture protection to the planks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">INSTALLATION<br />
As glueless locking mechanisms has been introduced to the market, laminate flooring has become the perfect choice for households because it has a quicker installation, it&#8217;s easier to repair and it can be installed by people without experience or specialized tools.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This will save you a considerable amount of money.  Installing laminate floors eliminates the need to nail or glue your floor in place.  It is also a very attractive, low cost and long lasting flooring option.  With an easy to clean surface, impact and dent resistance, laminate flooring can be installed over many different types of subfloors and on all grade levels, making it a versatile flooring choice.  Installing laminate floors can be used in any room in the house and in most commercial areas as long as they are flat and in solid condition.  Installing laminate floors can be done over concrete, wood, ceramic tile and even your existing linoleum floor.  Even though laminate floors can be installed in any room in the house, they should not be installed in garages or on outside porches.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The biggest reason for this is moisture.  Moisture and laminate floors do not mix.  On a scale from one to ten, installing laminate flooring requires a skill level of about a four.  The most challenging part of the installation process will be clearing your schedule for a couple of hours.  The easy to follow instructions and simplified interlocking clicking system mean that most do-it-yourselfers will be able to install an entire floor in one afternoon.  A laminated floor that is properly installed, protected and maintained will go a long way to help your laminated floor last as long as your home.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">DIFFERENT TYPES OF LAMINATE FLOORING<br />
Laminate Flooring is available in one of 2 types, planks and tiles.  Flooring planks can be interlocking or tongue and groove where flooring tiles have tongue and groove edges.  There are many different manufactures of laminate flooring and as the laminate flooring producers continue to expand colors, styles and increase quality, the growth of laminate flooring industry will continue.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">REASONS TO CHOOSE LAMINATE:<br />
A laminated floor is tough and durable. A laminated floor is chemical resistant and harsh household chemicals and cleaning agents will not harm your laminate flooring surface. A laminated floor can resist dropped cigarettes for a time without burning the floor. A laminated floor will keep its color or design for years.  The surface will not fade even when exposed to direct sunlight. A laminated floor is hypoallergenic, it doesn&#8217;t contain any hazardous PCB&#8217;s, dioxins, plasticizers or chlorines.  It repels dust, dustmites and other allergy causing particles.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A laminated floor is stain resistant and can be easily cleaned.  Cleaning up a spill on a laminated floor is as simple as wiping up the mess.  Also, scuff marks can be easily cleaned off a laminated floor. Installing a laminated floor is quick and easy.  It can be floated over your existing K-3/lino, wood, concrete, tile or even low grade commercial carpet saving value time and expense.  There is no need to wait, you can walk on your floor immediately after installation is complete. A laminated floor comes in many different designs and colors. A laminated floor is easy to care for.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Laminate flooring is on lower side of costing for maintenance but provides the look of hardwood or stone flooring.  It is made from high-density fiber or wood particles that are designed to look like wood or stone.  There are many manufacturers like Pergo, Dupont, Mannington, Armstrong.  You can say Laminate flooring is a hybrid.  It has the looks of hardwood but it&#8217;s not.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Neither its vinyl tiling and nor engineered flooring.  But it is a mixture of all those.  It is durable as it has clear, hard layer on top.  You can select from glue down laminate flooring or snap on interlocking plank system.  The &#8220;snap-together&#8221; type is easier to install but not as structurally sound as the &#8220;glue-together&#8221; type.  And the reason to select &#8220;glue-together&#8221; type is that it resists moisture better.  Laminate flooring can be placed on top of any existing flooring.  Many people are using laminate flooring as they are durable like many manufacturer offers at least 10 years warranty.  Unlike wood, which can dent, laminate flooring is almost impervious to dents and scratches.  Laminate flooring has what&#8217;s called in the industry a &#8220;wear layer&#8221; that protects the photographic layer underneath.  Other reasons to use laminate flooring are that it is less costly, easy to install than hardwood flooring, scratch resistant, easy to clean.  You can just use a dust mop or mop dampened with water to clean it up.  No floor waxing is needed.  It also resists Stains and if you do get a stain, it&#8217;s easy to clean off.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The way real hardwood, which may have many imperfect pieces that need to be thrown out or re-engineered, there are no defects in laminate flooring.  Laminate flooring gives wood look for less and it is also environment friendly as it uses less wood in construction.  It has its own disadvantage as well like laminate flooring does not absorb sound well and can have a hollow sound when you walk on it, particularly in high heels.  This can be reduced up to some extent by using an acoustic underlay.  There is less design options for laminate flooring as the look of the flooring is set by the manufacturer.  And laminate also lacks the visual warmth like hardwood.  The materials in laminate flooring are moisture resistant, but the floors can warp in high-moisture areas.  Though you can install kitchens and bathrooms or other rooms that are exposed topical moisture, you cannot use them where there is heavy water or steam.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The biggest disadvantage is that if it is heavily worn, deep scratched, or grooved, it cannot be sanded or refinished like solid hardwood: it must be replaced.  It really feels hard under foot.  Foam underlayment helps dampen this feeling, but it&#8217;s still there.  It also has slippery feeling, low resale value as compared to good hardwood or engineered wood gives better value when selling your house.  We have various plans with virtual tours on www. houseplancentral. com to choose from where you can view kitchen with laminate flooring to get an idea.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">This is also known as the destination layer higher, can be almost any type of timber construction. Wood has always wanted to grow in one direction. Plank of wood in the water there will always expand the width of the wood, rather than reducing the length of the board of directors. To avoid this problem, the manufacturer of engineered wood placed in the opposite direction to each other for each layer. This is called Cross-layer construction. Once the layers of wood glued increase will be offset by other, it will cease to grow or decrease with changes in humidity on board. Flooring Solid Wood is designed for a floating installation, you can stick together, or there are a number of press systems. Flooring veneer is very similar to laminate flooring. The only difference is that the surface layer of wear resistant top of the floor is a film, or real hardwood instead of a photographic image laminated board. Thick veneer of speech is usually around 0 with the top layer of hardwood about 8 mm. 7 mm. Flooring veneer has the advantage of speed, they are easy to install and you have a hardwood floor real. Completed before the factory floors of wood Most factory finished hardwood floors have several layers to fill the wood surface. For example, several companies wood flooring are applicable 6-10 layers of ultra-violet (UV) cured polyurethane. This person will be extremely difficult to repeat the work done on the site, not to mention how many days would be.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Therefore, many soil mechanics, retailers and manufacturers of floor coverings are driving one of the reasons before, finished hardwood floors. But instead of a few days to install and finish a hardwood floor, the hardwood flooring is generally completed prior to completion. The most common is to be completed: UV Curing &#8211; UV-light plant is supplemented by thermal polymerization. Polyurethane &#8211; A clear, tough and durable coating, the application layer of normal wear. Acrylic Polyurethane &#8211; a slightly different chemical composition than the same benefits as polyurethane. Alumina &#8211; increases the wear layer to increase abrasion resistance, and became a very good pop grade polyurethane for wood floors to fill. Acrylic Impregnated &#8211; Acrylic monomers injected into the cellular structure of wood, so that the increased hardness, and then used in the wear layer of wood to fill. Unfinished wood flooring If you want a custom stained hardwood floors or wood floors, which form part of the current base that wood floors are not finished your answer. You start to get a hardwood floor, floor sanding unfinished more than a means, dyeing, and completed at home. This is a very confusing, this process also requires a few days, but your floor will end your request. Installation Options Under a nail &#8211; the secret nail gun wood floor nail and the hammer used to connect the floor slab. Solid layer or lamellar zone can be installed on a subfloor of wood or sticks. Glue Down &#8211; flooring and solid wood flooring can stick down. Then you&#8217;re in the basement, glue the floor to ask proposed. Floating &#8211; This is when a thin substrate is placed in the floor and the floor. A recommended wood glue and then applied to the tongue and groove boards held together on each plate.</p>
