In the past, plywood was commonly known as an imported wood that was quite new to the Vietnamese market. However, in recent years, most people have chosen to apply the panels in various life fields. In this article, ADX Plywood would like to introduce you to plywood board’s application in wood flooring production.

Plywood flooring trend

Flooring trends

Natural wood has always been the top choice in most fields like interior, exterior, construction, etc. As the economy improves, so does the demand for wood for human consumption. Overexploitation affects the natural ecosystem as well as the quality of human life.
As a result, engineered wood is more known, and many people use it as a replacement for natural wood, which is gradually becoming rare. Especially in interior design, engineered wood is commonly used as a flooring panel due to its exceptional benefits, which fit in many different interior styles.

Why is Plywood good for flooring?

With many superior advantages in quality and aesthetics, plywood is applied to the production of flooring boards that meet a wide range of user needs.

Durable and good load-bearing

This is the primary reason why plywood floors can become the material that is believed to be used. It is produced with an odd number of layers (3, 5, 7, etc.), in which one layer is centered and optimally pressure resistant. Moreover, thanks to a strict manufacturing process combined with specific adhesives, the board has a solid bond. As a result, the plywood floors are stronger, more stable, and more durable than other materials, which helps users save money.

Waterproofing

Wood floors are often exposed to water, especially in areas like corridors, kitchens, and bathrooms. Therefore, the waterproof criteria cannot be ignored when choosing flooring boards.
The  manufacturing process has been rigorously treated, greatly enhancing its waterproofness. Water resistant glues like MUF, PF, etc. are also used in standardized amounts in the production. Furthermore, some types of wood, such as film board, are tested for boiling times of 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours to ensure that the structure is stable without being ripped or separated.

High aesthetic

Plywood is covered with a variety of surfaces, such as Veneer, Film, Laminate, Melamine, etc. Customers can easily choose the type of flooring board that best meets your demands. For example, a film board used for container flooring, a Melamine board or a Veneer board used in house or office floors, etc. In addition, the wooden surface is easy to clean, which saves a lot of time and effort.

Easy to construct

This is also another significant benefit of this engineered wood. During the production process, the board is dried, adjusting the humidity to an ideal level of 8-12%. At the same time, it is suitable for a wide range of machinery, and it can be secured with different screws and nails, making cutting and installation easier than with other materials.

Health safety

Glue is a crucial component because it directly affects the board’s bonding, durability, and waterproofing. Formaldehyde is a must-have in the glues used in the manufacturing of engineered wood. When exposed to high quantities over a period of time, this substance can harm human health by causing eye, nose, throat, and skin irritation or even cancer. Therefore, many guidelines have been established to restrict the amount of formaldehyde in glue and its emissions into the environment.
At ADX, all glues in engineered wood are E0 with emissions of around 0.021 ppm (<0.07 ppm). Therefore, when choosing our flooring boards, customers can be completely assured about both the health safety and the quality.

Environmentally friendly

Plywood panel is considered a green material with raw materials that originate from planted wood sources. This protects the natural ecosystem and ensures human’s healthy life. At the moment, ADX owns 28,000 hectares of licensed forest land, ensuring high demand from customers while maintaining the natural environment.

Top 3 wooden floor layout patterns

There is a lot of space with different floors thanks to the combination of colors and types of flooring. Let’s find out some of the most popular flooring styles:

Straight parallel flooring

Straight parallel flooring

This is the simplest type of engineered wood flooring that most people know about. In this style, the wooden boards are arranged in turn from the corner until they cover the entire room. The connections are lined straight together, and the next row is 1/2 or 1/3 the length of the previous row, creating a spacious and open space. In addition, parallel flooring also helps to reduce the shortage of supplies, saving money.

Chevron flooring

Chevron flooring

Chevron is a continuous zig-zag or “V” shaped wooden flooring that has become popular in recent years. The wooden pieces that create a chevron wood floor are cut at a 45-degree angle and fit together to form a point according to clear rules. This creates a 3D sensation, appealing to the user when viewed from different points.

Herringbone flooring

Herringbone flooring

Herringbone flooring is created with rectangular pieces of wood arranged to form a zig-zag effect that has been used in Western royal palaces for quite a long time. The wood panels are arranged perpendicular to each other, creating a uniquely symmetrical row of wood along the axis. This type of flooring is suitable for large spaces and for customers who seek perfection in every detail.
