Red oak
Oak wood is tough, super stable, excellent in wear resistance and deformation resistance. So oak is widely used in all wood materials.
Solid wood flooring is usually made of good oak. Of course, high-quality oak solid wood flooring is expensive. The most expensive oak floor is white oak floor, followed by American red oak, and ordinary oak floor has the lowest price. Because of the particularity of oak material, even the most common oak floor has a higher price than the common elm floor. The price of oak flooring belongs to high-end flooring among wood flooring materials, which is more suitable for consumers with superior economic conditions to buy.
elm
Elm is also a common wood flooring material. Compared with oak flooring, elm flooring is more common in composite flooring.
Because the performance of pure elm is not as stable as oak, if it is made into elm solid wood floor, it is not easy to resist aging. The advantage of elm wood floor lies in its gorgeous patterns. It is known in the industry that the patterns of elm wood floor are comparable to those of African chicken wing wood (chicken wing wood is one of the few wood floor materials famous for its gorgeous patterns), so the appearance of elm wood floor can not be underestimated. If elm wood is made into solid wood composite flooring, the hardness and stability can be greatly improved, especially in some advanced wood flooring manufacturers in China, such as Bejak and Gehlsen. Skilled production technology can also greatly enhance the deformation resistance and scratch resistance of composite floors. Elm composite flooring is cheap and more suitable for consumers who pursue cost performance.
