EIR Laminate Wood Flooring
Manufacturing Process
The production of EIR laminate wood flooring requires advanced surface synchronization and controlled pressing technology.
Wood Fiber Refining: Wood chips are refined, dried, and screened
HDF Board Pressing: High-pressure continuous press forms dense fiberboard
Decor Paper Printing: High-resolution wood patterns printed with repeat accuracy
EIR Plate Engraving: Steel press plates engraved to match décor grain exactly
Hot Press Lamination: Overlay, décor, and core pressed under synchronized pressure
Cooling and Conditioning: Panels stabilized to control internal stress
Profiling: CNC milling of click-lock edges
Quality Inspection: Surface alignment, wear, and dimensional testing
Product Definition
EIR laminate wood flooring is a high-performance laminate flooring system manufactured using Embossed-in-Register technology, where the surface texture precisely aligns with the printed wood grain, delivering enhanced realism, tactile depth, and consistent mechanical performance for residential and commercial applications.

Core Pain Points and Solutions
Unrealistic Surface Texture: EIR technology synchronizes grain and embossing
High Cost of Real Wood: Laminate provides controlled cost alternative
Surface Wear in Commercial Use: AC4–AC5 ratings extend service life
Batch Inconsistency: Digital printing ensures color repeatability
Risk Warnings and Mitigation
Despite its durability, EIR laminate wood flooring requires correct specification and installation.
Moisture ingress risk at joints without proper sealing
Subfloor flatness deviations may cause locking stress
Excessive point loads can damage surface overlay
Mitigation: vapor barriers, expansion gaps, furniture protection
Procurement and Selection Guide
Define traffic classification and abrasion class
Select thickness based on structural and acoustic needs
Confirm EIR alignment accuracy and repeat length
Verify HDF density and moisture resistance
Request EN 13329 test reports
Evaluate click-lock strength and edge treatment
Review packaging and pallet loading efficiency
Engineering Application Case
In a 12,000 m² mixed-use residential project, EIR laminate wood flooring was installed across living areas and corridors. The synchronized oak texture improved perceived value while maintaining fast installation and meeting fire and emission requirements, enabling on-time project delivery.
