How To Choose Solid Wood Flooring

The solid wood floor is made of wood as raw material, and it is made of uniform materials from top to bottom. Because of the many advantages of wood, such as easy processing, low thermal conductivity, cushioning impact, strong durability, etc., solid wood flooring has become the most popular flooring material. There are several types of solid wood flooring, such as flat joints, tongue-and-groove joints, joint joints, vertical joints, vertical wood and laminated timber floors. The common ones are tongue-and-groove solid wood floors. The surface is often covered with high-grade polyester varnish. The indicators related to solid wood floors include processing accuracy, Substrate defects, surface paint quality, moisture content, etc.

The processing precision must meet the national standard; the defect value of the substrate requires a straight edge, free of burrs, cracks, bug holes, etc.; in terms of the surface paint quality, the surface is required to be smooth without blisters, wrinkles, etc. Specifically, choose whether the available calipers are the same in the middle and the two sides, and then use 5-8 pieces of floor to join together, and observe whether they are seamed, flat, and there is no difference in height and length. The moisture content is the most critical index, and it is required to be between 8-13%. Too high or too low moisture content will cause the wooden floor to warp or crack due to environmental changes. Due to the characteristics of wood itself, in addition to its many advantages, its main disadvantage is that it swells when exposed to water and is greatly affected by the environment. The wooden floor itself is only a semi-finished product, and only after the paving is completed can it be regarded as a real product. Therefore, the paving of solid wood flooring is very important. If you are careless, cracks, arching and other problems will occur. Most of the quality problems of wood flooring are caused by improper decoration. There are two types of wood floors: surface spray paint and plain board. The spray-painted floor can be waxed on the cracks. After the plain board is laid, it needs to be planed and smoothed. Then the transparent putty is scraped twice and the paint is painted twice. Many people think Solid wood flooring is very delicate and difficult to maintain. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The newly paved floor should be waxed and sealed within one month, and then waxed or painted according to the actual situation in six months to one year.

Because of the characteristics of shrinking and thermal expansion of wood talents. Mainly avoid blisters during normal maintenance. In winter, prevent the heater from leaking. When the air in your home is too dry, you can put a basin of water on the heater or humidify with humidifying gas. In summer, pay attention to moisture. If water is accidentally splashed on the floor, you can clean it in time. . Use a semi-dry mop to clean, avoid direct sunlight, and do not drag heavy furniture.
