Not long ago, the results of solid wood floor monitoring released by the relevant departments showed that the qualified rate of solid wood flooring was only 59.25%. The main problem was that the width, thickness and adhesion of the paint film were unqualified. Solid wood flooring is popular among consumers because of its natural texture and materials, but it must be properly selected and carefully maintained to make solid wood flooring play a better role in the home.
The qualified rate of solid wood flooring is 59.25%.
Although the solid wood floor has the advantages of being natural and having a good touch, it has been difficult to escape the bad luck of cracking and deforming in a dry climate for many years. According to Jing Rongwei, marketing director of Ou Dian Flooring Beijing, due to the natural properties of its materials, solid wood flooring is easy to expand and contract in a dry climate.
The reporter learned in the building materials market that many consumers prefer solid wood flooring, but considering the possible hidden dangers in the follow-up, they finally chose the composite floor or laminate flooring.
Moran floor customer service center manager Yingmeng said that as well-known big brands continue to develop new technologies, comprehensive control in material selection, processing, moisture content, paving, etc., the solid wood flooring produced by them can cope with the dry and changing climate. Fully suitable for home paving in the north.
Experts said that in order to minimize the possibility of cracking and deformation of solid wood flooring, and extend the service life of solid wood flooring, consumers need to take seriously the purchase and maintenance of the floor from the purchase of the floor.
â– Optional skills
1 material is fundamental
There are many kinds of trees used to produce solid wood flooring, precious rosewood and teak; general maple, eucalyptus, ash, and gamut; cheap pine, pine, etc. The growth years and the degree of material texture of each tree species are different. Even the same tree species may exhibit material differences due to the different growth environments of the wood.
Recommendation: Try to select tree species with stable material and long growth cycle, such as teak, eucalyptus, etc., to avoid scooping, twisting, bending, cracking, arching, ringing, etc. during long-term use of wood flooring. In addition, the degree of fineness of the material is an important indicator for judging the pros and cons of solid wood flooring. According to reports, the smaller the number of insect eyes and crusting on the solid wood flooring products, the more delicate the material of the solid wood flooring and the more stable the performance.
2 Choose a small size
The solid wood flooring currently available on the market is the most common size of 900mm long x 90mm wide x 18mm thick. Wide-panel boards are also popular on the market today, such as wide boards with a length of more than 2 meters. For narrower boards, they are more beautiful, generous, and have a smooth texture and complete pattern. They are suitable for paving in large-sized houses.
Recommendation: In terms of the stability of the wood, the smaller the size of the floor, the stronger the resistance to deformation. Consumers of ordinary small and medium-sized households can pay more attention to products with a length of less than 500mm, a width of 70mm and a thickness of not less than 18mm when purchasing solid wood flooring. They are not only resistant to deformation, but also can be processed in the paving, which is more fashionable and beautiful. .
3 Water content is in line with the northern environment
The moisture content of the solid wood floor is very important, and the moisture content of the purchased floor must be consistent with the local average moisture content.
Recommendation: Consumers can consult with a professional salesperson when purchasing to purchase a floor that is balanced with the local equilibrium moisture content.
According to national regulations, the moisture content of solid wood flooring is qualified at 8% to 12%. In the summer of Beijing, the humidity is higher in June and July, and the other months are drier. Therefore, it is advisable to choose solid wood flooring with a water content of 11% to 12%.
4 Observe the processing fineness
After purchasing a satisfactory model, the consumer can take out two pieces of floor in the store to assemble by hand. Touch and see the precision and smoothness of the processing. See if it is smooth and smooth, the groove is matched, the gap is installed, and the deformation is anti-denatured. Whether the grooves are assembled or not.
Suggestion: Observe the bite of the joint, the assembly gap, and the height difference between adjacent plates.
â– Maintenance skills
Keep indoor dry humidity constant
The humidity in the room should not be too large. If the outdoor humidity is greater than the indoor humidity, you can close the doors and windows to maintain the indoor humidity. If the outdoor humidity is less than the indoor humidity, you can open the doors and windows to reduce the indoor humidity. Humidifiers can be used to increase indoor air humidity during the spring and autumn dry seasons.
Avoid sun exposure
Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or rapid rise and fall of temperature in the room may cause premature cracking and aging of the solid wood floor paint. If large-area flooding occurs inadvertently or if it is partially soaked in water for a long time, if it is stagnant, it should be dried with a dry cloth and allowed to dry naturally. It is strictly forbidden to use electric drying or sun exposure.
Clean dust and stains in time
Clean the floor regularly, vacuum, and prevent sand or frictional dust from accumulating and scratching the floor surface. A doormat can be placed outside the door to prevent sand or frictional dust from being carried indoors. You can usually wipe the floor with a wrung cotton swab. In case of stubborn stains, wipe with a neutral cleaning solvent and then wipe with a wrung cotton swab. Do not use an organic solvent such as acid, alkaline solution or gasoline.
Resin product curing floor
In order to maintain the beauty of the solid wood floor and extend the service life of the paint surface, experts recommend choosing a professional maintenance product for the floor "beauty" in the season.
Wax products only form a protective film on the surface of the floor, while resin products can penetrate into the wood for nourishment. Wipe the floor clean before curing, then apply a layer of resin evenly on the surface. After a while, wipe it with a soft cloth until it is smooth and bright.
â– Misunderstanding
Gluing pavement reduces deformation rate
Misunderstanding: As long as the purchase and maintenance of force, solid wood flooring will be fine.
Interpretation: As the saying goes, three-point floor, seven-point pavement, paving is the most important part of the floor. In particular, solid wood flooring is more expensive, and it is a pity if the paving is not good enough to cause subsequent quality problems. The traditional keel installation method, the solid wood floor only relies on a few nail holes, so the probability of deformation is large. Polyurethane glue is used for the glue coating, and the floor is firmly adhered to the ground, which can greatly reduce the possibility of deformation and cracking of the solid wood floor.
Solid wood flooring can be used for geothermal heating
Misunderstanding: Because of the natural characteristics of solid wood flooring, many people think that solid wood flooring is not suitable for geothermal heating.
Interpretation: At present, many flooring brands have introduced solid wood flooring resistant to geothermal. Solid wood flooring should be suitable for geothermal environment. It must have two basic requirements: first, stronger moisture control; secondly, more stable connection. Consumers are advised to ask the merchant for the quality certification granted by the authority when purchasing, in order to avoid being fooled by various concept hype.
