What's important about the choice of the floor for house decoration?

Solid wood has natural decorative style, natural texture, natural floor pattern, good elasticity, comfortable feet, warm in winter and cool in summer, can adjust indoor temperature and humidity, does not emit harmful gases and is safe to use.

When consumers buy solid wood flooring, they must see three indicators clearly. The first is the water content index. If this index is unqualified, the floor will deform, warp, arch or fall off in use. The floor moisture content in the northern area shall not exceed 12%, and the floor moisture content in the southern area shall also be controlled within 14%. In addition, the wear resistance index of paint board surface is also very important. If this index is unqualified, it means that the paint quality of the floor is poor and will affect the service life of the floor. Furthermore, the unqualified adhesion index of paint film also shows that the paint quality of the floor is poor, which is easy to cause paint cracking or even peeling in use, and also affects the service life of the floor. According to national standards, the adhesion index of excellent paint film is 0 ~1; Level 1 ≤ level 2; Qualified products ≤ Grade 3.

Composite flooring has a wide range of uses, many colors and varieties, hard texture, no deformation, fire prevention, wear resistance, simple maintenance, easy construction and very cheap price. But its material is cold, and its feet feel hard. The biggest disadvantage is that it is not environmentally friendly. For example, if you smell the pungent smell of formaldehyde during the laying process, then the concentration of formaldehyde in the air must exceed the standard. In addition, when buying laminate flooring, pay attention to the water absorption thickness expansion rate. After the laminate flooring is soaked in water at 25℃ for a period of time, the water absorption thickness of the base will increase. The greater the expansion rate, the greater the strength of the floor after being wetted, and the surface will protrude or even fall off, which will seriously affect the service life.

When choosing solid wood composite floor, it depends on the type and age of hardwood layer on the surface. Because there are many virgin forests in Southeast Asia and South America, the quality of logs is relatively high, and the production of solid wood composite flooring is better and the cost is low. In addition, the price of solid wood composite floor is different because of its different origin. Generally, the price per square meter of domestic brands is reasonable at 200 to 500 yuan, and the price of Southeast Asian products is guaranteed at 300 to 600 yuan. Because South America is far away, the transportation cost is high, and the price is generally around 400 to 700 yuan. In addition, due to the high price of solid wood composite flooring, after-sales service, especially installation and maintenance after installation, is more important. It needs a brand flooring company with certain strength to provide professional installation and long-term maintenance guarantee, which is difficult for these small companies to do.

The tree species used in solid wood flooring require beautiful texture, moderate hardness, good dimensional stability and processability. Among the commonly used tree species, Fraxinus mandshurica and Betula alnoides have better wood grain, which can achieve good results close to nature. The colors of Liu 'an wood and walnut wood are ideal, and the overall ground feeling is strong. However, Kangbas, cajandou, Hongmeijia, etc. Dark color, high hardness, heavy specific gravity and compact structure can be made into imitation mahogany floor. More upscale tree species are teak, sandalwood, maple, oak, beech, rosewood and so on. It has ideal patterns, colors and hardness, and of course it is more expensive. Many tree species are similar in texture and appearance, but their prices are quite different. For example, southwest oak and American oak, domestic Cyclobalanopsis glauca and imported beech need to be carefully selected.
