Essentials For Laying Solid Wood Flooring

(1) The floor should be laid in the later stage of construction, and no cross construction is allowed. It should be polished and painted as soon as possible after laying. So as not to stain the floor or make it deformed by moisture.

(2) Before laying the floor, it should be unpacked and stacked on the laying site for 1 to 2 days to adapt to the environment to avoid expansion and contraction after laying.

(3) Moisture-proof measures should be taken when laying, especially in relatively humid places such as the bottom layer. Moisture-proof measures include applying moisture-proof paint, laying moisture-proof film, using bedding treasure, and so on.

(4) The keel should be level and firm, and cement should not be used for reinforcement. It is best to use expansion bolts, nails, etc.

(5) The keel should be made of wood such as larch and Liuan with strong nail-holding power. The moisture content of the keel or wool floor should be close to the moisture content of the floor. The keel spacing should not be too large, generally not more than 40 cm. Both ends of the floor should be placed on the keel, not empty, and each keel must be nailed. Do not use water-based glue.

(6) The floor should not be laid too tightly. Sufficient expansion joints (0.5~1.2 cm) should be left around, and it should not be laid over wide. If it is wide, it should be separated and cut, and then copper strips should be pressed for transition.

(7) Thorough isolation and moisture-proof measures should be taken at the junction of floor and hall, bathroom, kitchen and other stone ground.

(8) Floor chromatic aberration is inevitable. If there are higher requirements for chromatic aberration, it can be sorted in advance, and a gradual transition method can be adopted to reduce the visual sudden change.

(9) Avoid washing with water during use, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, continuous direct air-conditioning, and prevent rain at the window and avoid collision and friction with hard objects. In order to protect the floor, waxing can be applied to the painted surface (from the perspective of protecting the floor, waxing has a better effect than painting).
