What is engineered hardwood floors ?
Engineered hardwood floors is based on poplar, willow or eucalyptus multi-layer boards, and the surface base layer selects natural hardwood oak, walnut, Ash, Teak and other materials as the panel. After coating with resin glue, it passes through high temperature and pressure in a hot press Made.
Floors Production Process:
The First step:
The choice of wood types and grades for the substrate layer, the commonly used substrate layers are pure eucalyptus, poplar eucalyptus, eucalyptus and birch; grades B1 and B2
The second step:
Rotate the log into 1.5mm thick and undamaged sheets, and then dry them
third step:
In order to ensure the quality of the substrate layer, professionals must be selected and classified according to thickness, color, stuttering, damage, etc.
the fourth step:
Glue-coated core board: 8-10 layers of glue-coated thin solid wood core boards are arranged in an orderly crisscross pattern and bonded together to change the original stretching direction of wood fibers.
the fifth step:
Through the hot press, the core board and glue are fully integrated and pasted.
The sixth step:
The base material is sanded with a fixed thickness. The surface and bottom of the floor substrate are sanded with a fixed thickness sander to ensure the flatness and smoothness of the board surface and provide an important guarantee for bark pressing
Step Seven:
Substrate sorting and health preservation: After sanding, after selecting and removing defective products, the qualified products are allowed to stand for 15-20 days to release the energy of the substrate layer and make the quality more stable.
The eighth step:
The solid wood veneer is selected, classified according to the grade, and then the moisture content is adjusted according to the climate.
Step 9:
Paste the solid wood bark and the substrate layer with glue, and then put them into a hot press for pressing.
The tenth step:
Continue to keep healthy for 15-20 days to release energy
The eleventh step:
Floor cutting and grooving, all common ones are T&G, Unilin, Valinge, Drop
The twelfth step:
Paint and packaging
After removing the dust, the grooved floor will pass through the paint spraying equipment. After six primers and three top coats, the packaging is sorted.

How to Distinguish Engineered Flooring Veneer Grade
1. Distinguish Method
Grade A: knots are not allowed;
Grade B：Quantity of knots per pc: 1-3pcs and the diameter of knots whose color are black is within 8mm and diameter of knots whose color are nearly same as veneer is within 10mm;
Grade C: Quantity of knots per pc: 1-3pcs and the diameter of knots whose color are black is within 20mm and diameter of knots whose color are nearly same as veneer is within 25mm; In addition, 20% of white edge of plank width is allowed and medium color variation is allowed;
Grade D: Quantity of knots per pc: 1-3pcs and the diameter of knots whose color are black is within 30mm and diameter of knots whose color are nearly same as veneer is unlimited; In addition, length of crack is within 30cm and severe color variation is allowed;
2.Percentage
ABC Grade: Percentage of grade AB: 15%, Percentage of grade C: 85%;
ABCD Grade: Percentage of grade AB: 20%, Percentage of grade C: 50%, Percentage of grade D: 30%

How to Install Engineered Wooden Flooring
STEP 1.
Clean the ground, shovel the cement protruding from the ground, and then use a broom to clean it up. The sand and cement slurry on the ground must be thoroughly cleaned, otherwise it will rustle after installation!
Remarks:
The floor can be laid only when the moisture content of the ground is less than 20, otherwise, the floor will become moldy and arched after laying it!
STEP 2.
After all the ground is cleaned, spread a thin layer of plastic film, which should be completely covered, and the joints should be connected to separate the floor and the ground.
STEP 3.
After laying out the plastic film, lay the special mulch film on the floor. It should also be leveled and laid solid. It is best to have two people help.
STEP 4.
After laying the mulch, the installer took out a lot of floors from the box and spread them all on the ground, choosing the color difference, placing the big color difference under the bed and closet, and spreading it on the obvious place with uniform color difference.
STEP 5.
Start the formal installation of the floor. The installation master cuts the floors one by one, and then installs them as shown in the following figure. Just use a hammer to tighten between the floor and the floor. The installation master is very skilled and the installation speed is very fast! Leave a distance of about 1 cm between the floor and the wall.
STEP 6.
If the floor is too long, put it on the floor cutter and cut it to the required length. The cutting machine cannot be placed directly on the floor tiles. In order to prevent the pit from being smashed out, a thick cardboard should be placed on the floor.
STEP 7.
Generally, the installation of the floor is carried out by 2 people, a total of about 35 square meters, and it only took 6 hours in total.
STEP 8.
After the floor is installed, place a spring between the floor and the wall. The spring will expand and contract with heat. Use a special iron tool to insert it into the gap.
STEP 9.
To install the skirting, you need to fix the skirting on the wall with nails, and seal the skirting and the wall with glass glue.
STEP 10.
The floor and skirting are all installed, their colors are still quite matching, and the newly installed floor is also very beautiful, so the installed floor has no sound.

| Fire Protection: | Reaction to fire – wood flooring performs to EN 13501-1 Dn s1 |
| Thermal Conductivity: | EN ISO 10456 and EN ISO 12664 Result 0.15 W/(mk) |
| Moisture Content: | EN 13183 – 1 Requirement: 6% to 9% Average Results: <7% |
| Thermal Conductivity: | EN ISO 10456 / EN ISO 12664 Result 0.15 W / (mk) |
| Release of Formaldehyde: | Class E1 | EN 717 – 1:2006 Result 0.014 mg / m3 Requirement: Less than 3 ppm Result: 0.0053 ppm |
| Slip Resistance: | Tested to BS 7967-2: 2002 (Pendulum Test in PTV values) Oiled Finish results: DRY (66) LOW RISK WET (29) MODERATE RISK There is no current requirement for slip resistance in residential developments. |
| Suitability of use: | Suitable for use with under floor heating in commercial and residential applications |
| Effects from moisture: | Wood flooring will expand if it is exposed to conditions that increases its moisture content beyond 9%. Wood flooring will contract if the prevailing conditions reduce the product moisture content below 6%. Any exposure outside of these parameters will compromise the performance of the product |
| Transmission of Sound: | Wood flooring on its own will offer some assistance to reduce the passage of sound, but it is the build-up of the whole floor and the surroundings that contribute to impact and airborne sound. For accurate assessment’s a qualified engineer should be employed to calculate how to achieve accurate results. |
| Thermal properties: | Solid Wood Flooring boards offer the following values: 20mm thick boards with a 4mm or 6mm top layer will lose 0.10 K/Wm2 15mm boards with a 4mm or 6mm top layer will lose 0.08 K/Wm2 |
