Industry Pain Points: Top 10 Procurement Traps for Solid and Hollow Flooring
STEP1:Misconceptions about Load-bearingThe property management of a certain residential area purchased hollow floorboards, which led to deformation in the children's play area due to insufficient load-bearing capacity, resulting in repair costs exceeding the budget by three times. Solid floorboards with a density of ≥1.2g/cm³ and hollow floorboards with walls ≥2.5mm thick are required to meet public area needs.
STEP2:Moisture-proof trapA southern hotel chose solid wood floors without joint挤 treatment, and after 3 months, mildew appeared. High-quality products must pass a 72-hour boiling water immersion test, with water absorption rate ≤0.8%.
STEP3:Installation CostHollow floorboards have a complex structure, resulting in labor costs 40% higher than solid floorboards. Linyi Xuan Cheng improves the installation efficiency of hollow floorboards by 60% through modular design, reducing the comprehensive cost by 25%.
STEP4:Environmental Certification35% of the products in the market have not passed the EU CE certification, with excessive formaldehyde emissions. When selecting, check the SGS test report, with E0 grade (≤0.05mg/m³) as the safety standard.
STEP5:Color Difference ControlA commercial plaza returned 20% of its flooring due to color differences exceeding ΔE≥3 between batches. High-quality manufacturers use color masterbatch pre-mix technology, controlling color differences to ΔE≤1.5.
STEP6:Wear Resistance GradeFor home use, choose UT grade (≥8000 RPM), for public areas, choose HT grade (≥15000 RPM). Refer to GB/T 18102-2020 standard for testing methods.
STEP7:UV-resistant propertyOutdoor use requires passing the QUV accelerated aging test, with color fastness retention rate ≥85% after 3000 hours. Low-quality products show significant fading after 6 months.
STEP8:Connection methodSnap-on installation is more environmentally friendly than traditional adhesive, but attention must be paid to the mating precision ≤0.1mm. Linyi Xuan Cheng adopts laser positioning technology, with the connection strength increased by 3 times.
STEP9:Silent effectHollow floorboards require the installation of sound-absorbing cotton, achieving a noise reduction effect of up to 28dB. Solid floorboards can reduce noise by 15% through surface texture design.
STEP10:Warranty TrapThe average warranty period in the market is 1-3 years, with high-quality manufacturers offering 10 years of structural warranty and 5 years of surface warranty. The scope of warranty and compensation process should be clarified upon contract signing.

FAQ Selection Guide
Q1: How to choose solid floor and hollow floor according to the scene?
A: For areas with high sound insulation requirements such as bedrooms/study rooms, solid flooring (density ≥ 1.2g/cm³) is recommended; for areas with low load-bearing requirements such as balconies/Corridors, hollow flooring (wall thickness ≥ 2.5mm) can be chosen. Public areas such as shopping malls and schools must use solid flooring and must pass the HT-level wear resistance test.
Q2: How to judge the environmental performance of flooring?
Check the SGS inspection report, focusing on formaldehyde emission (E0 grade ≤0.05mg/m³), heavy metal content (lead ≤90mg/kg), and TVOC emission (≤0.5mg/m²·h). Linyi Xuan Cheng products have passed the EU CE certification and meet the requirements of REACH regulations.
Q3: How to control the installation cost of wood-plastic flooring?
A: Choosing clip-type connection can save 30% of labor costs; opt for modular design products (such as Linyi Xuan Cheng's AR80ARD series) for hollow floorings to increase installation efficiency by 60%; avoid construction during rainy weather, otherwise additional drying treatment costs will be incurred.
