Solid wood board eurodeck bleached oak (oak)

Peculiarities

Characterizing an engineered oak floorboard, it is worth pointing out that it is divided into two-layer and three-layer options (we will talk about them later). This coating has been on the market for only a few years. So far, it belongs to the elite category. The immediate closest competitors of such products are:

• piece parquet;
• massive parquet board;
• parquet boards with 3 base layers.

The standard thickness of engineered planks is 1.8-2 cm. The length usually varies from 150 to 240 cm. The width will always or almost always be 23 cm. Engineered parquet board, in comparison with similar materials, is considered an insufficiently environmentally friendly solution. The reason is simple: FC plywood contains a concentration of formaldehyde that is unsafe for health.

It should be borne in mind that the seemingly great profitability of block parquet is not always achievable. This advantage is valid only when creating relatively simple drawings, when, in addition, it is not yet necessary to select boards of different colors and species. In complex works, the price of engineered boards turns out to be even more attractive. This material also tolerates dents much better than regular parquet.

The main reason is quite obvious: the layer of hardwood in the latter case is the same as that of ordinary boards or bars. For comparison: the interlocking parquet and the engineered plank are only partially made of oak lamellas. There is a much weaker layer underneath. The lack of long-term experience in using the engineered board makes any conclusions regarding its prospects premature, it is necessary to wait at least another 5-10 years. But it is worth noting the general problems that are typical for any wooden floors: they are more expensive than linoleum and laminate, while they require rather complex systematic maintenance.

Also:

• dents from any heavy objects will remain on the tree;
• heavy furniture (and even light, but with steel legs) will also leave dents;
• you can only grind a type of coating laid on glue; floating soft substrate and repair are incompatible concepts;
• investing serious funds is appropriate only when one house has to be exploited for a long time without moving anywhere (and this is very difficult to guarantee in our time).

Selection principles

When choosing a laminate covering, take into account the purpose of the room, the general design of the space, the class of wear resistance of the panels. For hallways, kitchens and places of high traffic, they choose laminated Oak Class 33 boards, since they have:

• glossy surface resistant to mechanical damage;
• moisture-resistant locking system, reinforced with a hydrophobic coating;
• moisture-resistant impregnation, allowing them to be mounted in rooms with high humidity;
• great strength.

The light laminate fits perfectly into the design of the living room. Panels of the Swedish company "Tarkett" Oak nature white create an atmosphere of tenderness and tranquility, fill the interior with soft light and home comfort, emphasize the design of the room. They are combined with any color of furniture, walls and ceilings.

Tarkett lamellas have a multi-layer structure, the specificity of which is the presence of kraft paper spacers between all layers. This method of production ensures the strength of the material. The panels are covered with CLM technology, which guarantees their high quality.

Laminate "White Oak Medium" is a popular model of 33 strength class coating. The panels are produced by the Belgian company Quick Step.The matte surface with a single-strip image blends harmoniously with the living room interior, designed in a classic style.

The coating is classified as an elite finishing material that can please the owners of the apartment for many years. White Medium Oak can be installed in the bathroom or in the kitchen, as its surface is moisture resistant.

Combination of laminate, doors and furniture

The unique combination gives rise to the use of bleached oak in the interior: nobility and variety of colors. Laminate imitating wood does not tolerate furniture and interior items made from cheap unnatural raw materials. At the same time, the white oak flooring in the rooms matches well with things made of roughly processed wood.

It is not customary to combine a dark gray floor and fiery red furniture. When the color of the floor and furniture is clearly discordant, window frames and doors are selected so that their color matches the color of the laminate. This harmonizes the space.

The door plays an important role in the design of the room. White oak doors are one of the components of a modern interior, the embodiment of sophistication and sophistication. The man-made material they are made of is less durable than natural wood, but well-made doors look good. They are used in rooms made in different styles.

The laminated coating makes the doors moisture resistant, so they are installed in the bathroom. A discreet shade allows them to fit well into rooms of different sizes. By installing a bleached oak door in a small narrow hallway, you can visually increase the space.

Views

Two-layer products have a front surface with a thickness of 0.46 to 0.5 cm. Basically, this layer is created on the basis of noble wood species. FK plywood is allowed on the substrate. Its size varies from 1.2 to 1.6 cm. A three-layer engineering board is more difficult to perform.

The bottom and top of the assembly are created from a dense array. The central part of the "sandwich" is glue sticks. For their manufacture, relatively inexpensive coniferous wood is used. The course of the fibers in the core is perpendicular to the surface layer. Regardless of this, the engineered board is equipped with tongue-and-groove locks by default, and therefore it is quite easy to lay it.

A high-quality 3-layer assembly guarantees consistent dimensions regardless of fluctuating humidity. The division into several layers also increases the bending strength. The mechanical bending strength is very good: in conditions when the solid board is split into pieces, the plywood backing only slightly bends.

But with proper styling, the very danger of such a development of events is reduced to zero. Although the bulk of the construction is made up of plain plywood, the cost differs little from the price of all-natural solid boards. On average, the price of products ranges from 2,000 to 10,000 rubles per 1 m2. Of course, the size of the blocks, the complexity of processing, and the costs for a particular manufacturer play a role here.

Such products cannot contain even the slightest deformation. Even a small amount of knots or sapwood means rejection. Items within the same batch should look similar. No divergence in the direction of the annual rings or in the tonality of the tree is allowed. This solution is only appropriate for the classic style.

Plank 1-strip engineering board is quite common. It looks like a classic array. This product is suitable for a wide variety of decorating styles. Two-lane and three-lane boards can be made from small pieces with minor defects. Products dyed in production are of ideal quality, but uncoated products will be cheaper.

Choice of shade

Variants of natural shades and middle class of wear resistance are relevant here: the entire spectrum of brown can be used in this case. It is worth preferring a material with a bevel, as it imitates well a natural wood coating. For spacious rooms of the hall of the house, dining room, kitchen, veranda, it is worth choosing honey or dark brown shades. And for narrow dressing rooms, small bedrooms or a children's room, light colors are optimal. An overly dark oak floor in a country house is not very welcome, as it looks too strict.

Apartments within the city are also decorated with oak laminate flooring. To create modern interiors in a city apartment, experts recommend using such a white oak laminate, which is made in natural colors and has a middle class of resistance to wear. For example, for small bedrooms or living rooms, it is worth choosing a finish in light shades: white, yellowish or beige. Such options visually expand the narrow space if you put the panels obliquely to the room.

And the dark colors of oak laminate are relevant for spacious living rooms, offices, dining rooms. Light oak laminate looks interesting in children's rooms. It goes well with today's fashionable white furniture for children, calm colors in the decoration of the walls, bright colors in the design of children's toys.

Note that in this case it is important not to forget about the laminate class. The fact is that offices and sales areas are characterized by an increased load on the floor, therefore they require a floor covering of 33 or 34 classes of wear resistance.
