Purpose - This paper developed a new method of making floor from poplar using glued technology and densification technology. This paper aimed to use fast-grown poplar wood to produce floor to expand material supply range of floor in order to solve problem of material supply shortage for floor industry.
Design/methodology/approach - Densification technology and gluing technology were used to obtain high-density surface materials of floor under high pressure, meanwhile in order to reduce loss of poplar wood caused by compressing, high-density surface materials floor and substrate are glued and pressed under low pressure.
Findings - The method of compressing poplar wood under high pressure can improve poplar's physical and mechanical properties. Adopting densification technology and gluing technology can produce the poplar laminated composite floor which meets the requirements of Chinese standard GB/T 18103.
Research limitations/implications - This method of producing floor by compression densification technology would cause wood loss from reduction in thickness because poplar was pressed under high pressure.
Practical implications - This method of making floor from poplar wood concerned in this study allows the floor making industry to eliminate its dependence on precious wood resource, expand supply range of floor material, and then solve problem of wood supply shortage of floor industry.
Originality/value - This study may help solve the difficult problem that poplar cannot directly be used to produce floor because of its softness, low density and low strength. Through densification technology, great improvement in strength and hardness of poplar had been made.
