1220*240*8mm EIR Three Strips
The specifications "1220x240x8mm" refer to the dimensions of individual boards in this laminate flooring model: length (1220mm), width (240mm), and thickness (8mm). The term "Three-Strip" indicates that each board is designed to mimic three narrower strips of wood placed side-by-side, creating a more traditional and varied look compared to single-strip designs. "EIR" stands for Embossed In Register, which means the surface texture matches the grain pattern perfectly, giving an extremely realistic wood-like appearance and feel.
Here’s a breakdown of these key aspects:
Dimensions:
Length: 1220mm – This refers to the total length of each plank.
Width: 240mm – This is the width across each plank.
Thickness: 8mm – This represents the thickness of the laminate material.
Three-Strip Design:
Three-strip design presents three narrow panels on one piece, offering a versatile layout option that can fit various room styles and sizes while still achieving the natural wood look.
Embossed In Register (EIR):
EIR technology ensures that the embossing aligns precisely with the printed wood grain pattern, enhancing the authenticity of the finish. It creates a tactile experience where you can actually feel the grooves and knots just like real wood.
Durability & Maintenance:
Despite being thinner than some laminate alternatives, the 8mm thickness provides good stability and resistance against wear. Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning and protection from moisture and sharp objects, will ensure longevity.
Installation:
Typically, these laminate floorboards use a tongue-and-groove system that allows for floating installation over most subfloors without glue or nails. Installation may require an underlay for additional sound insulation and thermal properties.
When selecting this size and style of laminate flooring, consider how it fits into your room's overall aesthetics and practical needs. The larger format and multi-strip design can make smaller spaces appear bigger and brighter, while the EIR texture adds a layer of luxury and realism. Ensure compatibility with your subfloor type and any specific environmental conditions in your area. Professional advice might be helpful to achieve the best results and to handle any specialized cutting or fitting issues that arise during installation.
