Nowadays, construction companies in Vietnam have a wide choice.

Hồ CHí MINH, VIệT NAM, August 22, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — In today’s world where sustainable development and quality of life are paramount, laminate flooring from Vietnam has emerged as the first choice for homeowners and investors. This innovative flooring solution offers an ideal balance of aesthetics, functionality and comfort, and adapts to the changing seasons with remarkable efficiency.

+ Temperature regulation: An important feature
One of the greatest advantages of laminate flooring is its ability to regulate temperature (1). This ability results from its multi-layer structure:
– Surface protection layer: This layer conducts heat slowly, so that it does not cause cold feet in winter and hot feet in summer.
– HDF wood core layer: Consists of compressed wood particles (wood fibers) that help limit heat transfer between the floor and the outside environment.
– Lower protective layer: It prevents water from penetrating upwards and downwards and ensures the moisture and temperature balance of the laminate floor.

These characteristics are consistent with the World Health Organization’s recommendations for comfortable indoor temperatures, which are between 18 and 24 °C (64 and 75 °F).

+ Benefits in every season
Laminate floors enhance living spaces all year round:
– In winter: The soil absorbs heat and slowly releases it again, so that the heat is retained.
– In summer: Its porous structure allows air circulation and provides a cool feeling
The low thermal conductivity of wood compared to other materials such as concrete contributes to these temperature-regulating properties.

By naturally regulating temperature, laminate flooring reduces the need for heating and cooling equipment, resulting in significant energy savings. This complies with green building standards as energy consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced.

+ Factors that affect the temperature regulation ability of laminate floors
The factors that affect the heat regulation ability of laminate floors are the thickness of the planks and the humidity:
– Thicker laminate flooring has better heat absorption and retention than thinner flooring. Therefore, in winter, a thicker laminate flooring helps to keep the heat in the house and create a cozy atmosphere. Thinner laminate flooring has faster heat transfer than thicker flooring. Therefore, in summer, a thinner laminate flooring helps to dissipate the heat and create a cool feeling.
– High humidity makes the air moist, which increases the thermal conductivity of the air (2). On the other hand, laminate flooring is a good insulating material, so when the humidity is high, the heat conduction from the wooden floor to the environment is reduced. This means that the floor is less able to release heat, which increases the room temperature.

+ Advanced technology to address limitations
While conventional laminate floors are susceptible to water damage and termites, manufacturers have developed innovative solutions:
– Egger Aqua laminate flooring: Uses Aqua+ technology, is waterproof for up to 1000 hours and offers permanent protection against termites.
– Robina Aqua laminate flooring: Features a tropical hardwood core and German technology, is water resistant for 10 days and includes a 10-year termite guarantee.

Mr. Tran Quang Hoi, Director of Vietnam Kosmos Joint Stock Company, stresses the importance of proper installation: “Laminate flooring is a floor covering that is sensitive to temperature and humidity fluctuations. When installing, it is important to leave an expansion joint to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the flooring. Also, avoid pouring water directly onto the surface for cleaning.”

Laminate flooring sold in Vietnam offers a perfect blend of comfort, sustainability and functionality. Its ability to regulate temperature, coupled with advances in water resistance and durability, make it an excellent choice for modern homes and businesses seeking both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.
