Core Market Pain Points & Solutions
Budget-restricted projects → Cost-effective specification balances price and durability.
Moisture-prone areas → Waterproof edges reduce swelling and delamination.
Fast installation requirements → Click-lock system saves labor hours.
Long-term appearance → AC3–AC4 wear layer protects against scratches and fading.
Risk Warnings & Engineering Recommendations
Not suitable for long-term water immersion; avoid bathrooms and high-flood zones.
Ensure moisture barrier for ground-floor concrete installation.
Maintain expansion gap around room perimeter.
Select certified formaldehyde-controlled materials for health compliance.
Procurement & Selection Guide
Check technical grade: AC rating, density, moisture swelling rate.
Verify waterproof certification and test performance.
Request locking strength test and tolerances documentation.
Confirm Fire-Resistance Class consistent with project standards.
Inspect actual color vs. design rendering for batch consistency.
Evaluate supplier production capacity and delivery lead time.
Engineering Case
A 3,500 m² apartment renovation project selected cheap 10mm Centennial Oak waterproof laminate flooring for all living and bedroom areas. Workers completed installation within 9 working days due to click-lock installation. Moisture-resistance tests after 6 months confirmed swelling<8%, fully compliant with client requirements and reducing total flooring budget by approximately 28% compared with engineered wood.
