In the face of dazzlingly many solid wood floor brands, how do consumers go about purchasing flooring ? What steps can we take to prevent these phenomena? The first and most crucial step is to pick a good floor. Here I will take you to look at the floor shopping tips.

First, understand the floor material floor purchase becomes easy

When purchasing flooring, you first need to understand the material of the floor, what are the commonly used floors for decoration, and how the materials and properties of various floors are. A clear understanding of the information on various floors is a prerequisite for the purchase of high-quality flooring. All preparations are made to make floor purchase easy and simple.

1, decoration common floor

Solid wood flooring is the most commonly used building material for home floor decoration. It is made from wood as raw material and processed without artificial sticking. According to the processing technology, it is divided into high-quality solid wood flooring, parquet solid wood flooring, finger grounding boards, and antique solid wood flooring. General solid wood flooring production technology requirements are more comprehensive, precision is also relatively high.

Solid wood composite flooring is a collage of layers of solid wood flooring. Generally divided into three layers of solid wood composite flooring and multi-layer solid wood composite flooring, three layers of solid wood in line with the surface of the floor is hardwood specifications slats mosaic panels, the core layer is a soft wood, the bottom layer is a rotary cut veneer. Multilayer parquet is made of multilayer plywood as a substrate.

Laminate flooring is made of a wear-resistant layer, a decorative layer, a core layer, and a bottom moisture-proof layer. General laminate flooring without painting wax, easy installation, is a new type of environmentally friendly floor.

Cork flooring is made from the bark of a cork oak tree. It has good environmental protection and moisture resistance, and its foot feel is soft, elastic, and tightly sealed. The price is also high.

Second, the floor to buy look at the appearance of beautiful moisture-proof two correct

When purchasing flooring, you need to observe the appearance of the floor first. See the color of the floor, whether it is damaged or not. Careful inspection of the appearance of the floor can not only ensure the overall appearance after the floor is paved, but also is a prerequisite for the waterproof and dampproof of the floor.

1, check the color and thrift

Combine several pieces of floorboards and see if the floor has any color differences. Generally due to problems such as aging, handling and processing, the floor will appear discolored. If you find that the shades of color are not the same, and the colors and color differences are inconsistent, you must purchase them carefully.

Frugality is a tumor that grows after the branches on the trunk are removed and found in wooden floors. There are dead festivals and live festivals. The dead festivals are dark in color, low in strength and affect the appearance; the festival has little effect on appearance. If the surface of the floor is found to be excessively thrifty, this indicates that there is a problem with the quality of the floor material.

2, check the surface crack

The crack is a taboo on the appearance of the wooden floor. Floor cracks not only affect the appearance after paving, but also in the wet season, moisture and water vapor can penetrate into the floor along the cracks and make the floor appear damp. When checking, you need to carefully observe the surface of the floor and touch it with your hand to feel if it feels scratchy.

3, check for wormholes

Wormholes are common in many wood floors. If the area of ​​the wormhole is large, the appearance effect of the floor will be affected, but the wormhole with a small diameter and a uniform distribution can be used as a texture decoration of the wooden floor. When purchasing, you need to check the area and distribution of floor wormholes.

4, check the thickness of the floor

The thickness of the floor conforming to the national standard is generally 8mm. If the floor thickness is lower than this standard, the floor is not strong enough to break, and the waterproof and moistureproof performance is poor.

  

Third, strict quality control to buy the floor without fear of wet

The quality of the floor is the fundamental guarantee of its waterproof and moisture proof performance. Check the quality of the floor to pay attention to five actions: one look, two touches, three dip, four knocks, and five writes. By checking the five indicators of the floor, determine whether the floor is high quality.

1, see the seam debate tightness

Most floor splicing now uses girth splices to splice the floor through the slats. During inspection, the two wooden floors can be spliced ​​and placed horizontally. Observe whether the surface seam is tightly spliced ​​and observe the tightness of the seam from the side. The tightly spliced ​​floor can effectively resist the infiltration of moisture in wet weather.

2, touch scratch hardness

Use a hard object such as a key to move across the surface of the floor and touch it with your hand to feel a noticeable scratch on the surface. If scratching is noticeable, it indicates that the floor surface is not sufficiently hard.

3, flooding to see the waterproof

Soak one end of the floor in water and take it out after fifteen minutes to see if the floor is deformed and there is noticeable blistering. If the floor is immersed and severe deformation occurs, the waterproof performance of the floor is poor. In addition, the moisture content of the floor is also an important indicator for checking the waterproofness. When purchasing, you must ask about the floor tax rate. Generally, the floor moisture content is 12% to 14%.

Flooring purchase knowledge: What is the moisture content?

Moisture content refers to the percentage of moisture contained in wood products such as floorboards and the weight of wood after being dried.

Floors are generally dried, but not as dry as possible. The moisture content of building materials should correspond to the actual moisture content of the building materials. Such floor building materials are only durable. The moisture content in coastal areas is 15.1%, and the floor moisture content is 13 to 14%. The moisture content in the north is about 11.4%, and the floor moisture content is about 11%.

4, knocked on the surface of the internal decay

The raw material for the floor is wood. Some floors may be rotted due to improper preservation. Decay is divided into inner rot and outer rot. The floor of the inner rot is easily deformed, mildewed, and has poor water resistance after being laid. Therefore, you must use the tapping method to listen to the sound from the floor. If the sound is dull and the weight is light, the floor may have internal rot.

5, writing to identify stain resistance

Write on a wooden floor with an oil-based pen, wipe it with a damp cloth and wipe with alcohol to check its dirt resistance. If the font is still visible after cleaning with a damp cloth and alcohol, it indicates that the floor has poor dirt resistance and is not conducive to the daily maintenance of the floor.
