As far as I know, floor chipboard is both surface harder and denser than regular chipboard. You will probably find exact information at www.swedspan.seMikael_L said:charta77, it seems to be impossible to find out if floor chipboard is harder than regular ... :-?

Hello everyone....
It ended up being chipboard flooring since, when I did the math, there wasn't much of a price difference, and then there was no reason to have even asked the question... ;o)
But now the floor is at least glued and screwed, and it feels very solid and good... thanks for your support...

JA flooring chipboard should have a higher density than "regular" chipboard, but this is not the whole truth as there are several different qualities of both flooring chipboard and regular chipboard. For example, there is moisture-resistant (green), regular (white), fire-rated (red) and several other special variants like tongue-and-groove OSB (common in the USA), tongue-and-groove plywood (common in marine environments), and groove-milled 30mm flooring chipboard for installing underfloor heating pipes. MDF (Medium Density Fiber) has a higher resonance frequency (around 400Hz) than chipboard (30-80Hz) and therefore produces more footstep noise, which is also the case for "click flooring" made of HDF (High Density Fiber). This is why such flooring is perceived as cheaper since we perceive high-frequency sounds as "more fragile" compared to more low-frequency sounds which we perceive as solid and of high quality. The same applies to the feeling when walking on them; HDF/Plastic has a significantly higher heat transfer coefficient than natural wood, and since the floor normally has a lower temperature than 37 degrees, the HDF will cool your feet much faster at the same surface temperature than natural wood does. The surface treatment also plays a big role of course (oil, varnish, soap, etc.)
PS:
If you are wondering about the quality difference in chipboard, compare the durability between a cabinet frame from a quality manufacturer and one from places like Jysk, Rusta, or similar, and you'll soon notice why there's such a big price difference for seemingly the same thing.
