1. Which kind of  composite timber decking is better?



High profile composite deckingis a popular flooring material in recent years. It is made by adding glue, preservatives and additives to the logs after crushing, and then it is processed by high temperature and high pressure by a hot press. Therefore, it breaks the physical structure of the logs and overcomes the poor stability of the logs. The high profile composite decking has high strength, uniform specifications, high wear resistance, anti-corrosion, mothproof and good decorative effect, which overcomes the problems of scar knots, worm eyes and color difference on the surface of the log. The high profile composite decking does not need to be painted or waxed. It is widely used and easy to maintain. It is the most suitable floor material for modern family life. In addition, high profile composite decking has a high utilization rate of wood, which is a very good environmentally-friendly material.

Composite lumber decking is divided into three layers of solid wood composite flooring, multi-layer solid wood composite flooring, and new solid wood composite flooring. Because it is made of interlaced laminates of different tree species, it overcomes the shortcomings of unidirectional solid wood flooring. It has small shrinkage and swelling rate, good dimensional stability, and retains the natural wood grain and comfortable foot feel of solid wood flooring. Composite lumber decking integrates the stability of the laminated wood floor and the aesthetics property of the solid wood floor and is environmentally-friendly. The new composite lumber decking with relatively high performance value will be the trend of the wood floor industry.


  • PVC composite floor


Multi-layer composite PVC floor means that it has a multi-layer structure, which is generally composed of 4 to 5 layers of laminated structure. Generally, there are wear-resistant layers (including UV treatment), printed film layers, glass fiber layers, and elastic hair, bubble layer, and base layer, etc.

In addition, the life of the composite floor is also related to the maintenance of the floor in the daily life.
