ʻEkolu mau ʻano nui o ka papahele hui ma ka mākeke: ka papahele lāʻau i hana ʻia, ka papahele laminate, a me ka papahele hui nui. ʻO nā ʻano ʻelua ʻelua ka mea kaulana loa-ʻo nā ʻano papahele haku mele kahiko. ʻO ka papahele ʻāpana ʻāpana he ʻano hou aʻe o ka papahele hui i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ma luna o nā papa ʻelua mua, nona ke kūpaʻa aahu o ka papahele laminate a me ka pale deformation o ka papahele lāʻau i hana ʻia. Ua hana maikaʻi loa ia i loko o ʻekolu kaiapuni koʻikoʻi (nā wahi ākea, ka wela ma lalo o ka papahele, a me ka haʻahaʻa). ʻOkoʻa nā koi no ka hoʻohana ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana.
Hoʻohui ka papahele lāʻau i hana ʻia i ka nani, ka manaʻo kūlohelohe, a me ka insulation maikaʻi o ka papahele lāʻau paʻa me nā hemahema o ka papahele lāʻau paʻa, e like me ka warping a me ka haki ʻana ma muli o ka shrinkage. I kēia lā, no ka pale ʻana i ka pōʻino o ke kaiapuni, ke nānā nui nei nā ʻāina o ka honua i ka mālama ʻana i nā kumulāʻau ululāʻau, a hiki i nā papahele lāʻau i hana ʻia ke mālama i nā kumu lāʻau liʻiliʻi e hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka papahele lāʻau paʻa. Eia kekahi, maʻalahi ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka papahele lāʻau i hana ʻia, maʻamau me ka ʻole o ka subfloor. Eia nō naʻe, koi ʻia kahi subfloor pae.
Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale hou ʻia ka papahele lāʻau i hana ʻia i ʻekolu mau ʻano nui: ʻekolu-papahana lāʻau i ʻenekinia ʻia, multi-papahana lāʻau i hana ʻia, a me ka papahele lāʻau. ʻEkolu-papa a me ka nui-papahana lāʻau i hoʻohana pinepine ʻia i ka hoʻonaninani hale. ʻEkolu-papahana lāʻau i hana ʻia e nā papa lāʻau paʻa ʻekolu. Hana ʻia ka papa luna i nā ʻāpana lāʻau paʻa kiʻekiʻe, e like me ka lehu, birch, beech, ʻoka, maple, a me ka cherry. Aia ka papa waena i nā ʻāpana lāʻau palupalu, a ʻo ka ʻaoʻao lalo he ʻokiʻoki ʻoki ʻoki ʻia, i hoʻonohonoho ʻia i ke ʻano crisscross. Hoʻohui kēia hale i nā pono o ka papahele lāʻau paʻa maʻamau me ka hoʻokele pono ʻana i ke koʻikoʻi kūloko ma waena o nā hua lāʻau, e hoʻēmi ana i ka drawback o ka hiki ʻana o ka lāʻau i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke kau o ka haʻahaʻa.
Hāʻawi ka papahele lāʻau paʻa i ka manaʻo ʻoluʻolu ma lalo o ka wāwae, ka palaoa maoli a me ke kala, akā ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī. No ka mea maoli, ʻano ʻokoʻa kona hua a me kona waihoʻoluʻu, e koi ana i kahi subfloor lāʻau no ka hoʻokomo ʻana, e ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kumukūʻai.
Hāʻawi ka papahele lāʻau kiʻekiʻe -ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pale ʻana i ka ʻaʻahu, ka maʻalahi a me ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻokomo ʻana, a me ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa, akā ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu iki kona manaʻo ma lalo o ka wāwae.
He mea hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ka papahele i hui ʻia he nui-papa ma luna o ka papahele lāʻau paʻa. ʻOiai e hoʻohui ana i nā pono o ka papahele lāʻau paʻa, ua hoʻomaikaʻi nui ʻia ma ke ʻano o ka paʻakikī a me ke kūpaʻa ʻana. Eia kekahi, ma muli o kāna hana maikaʻi loa i ʻekolu kaiapuni koʻikoʻi (nā wahi lehulehu, ka hoʻomehana ʻana o lalo, a me ka haʻahaʻa), ua hoʻohana mālie ʻia i ka hoʻolālā kūloko o kēia wā.
