What do you need to pay attention to when buying solid wood flooring?

1. Floor specifications.

In terms of the stability of the plank, the smaller the size of the floor, the better the resistance to deformation, so it is necessary to choose a shorter, narrower solid wood floor, and minimize the bending, twisting, scooping, shrinking, arching and other phenomena of the solid wood floor. Flooring experts believe that the short one is better than the long one; The narrow one is better than the wide, and it is cheap. But now the market is popular wide plate, the wide plate is more beautiful than the narrow plate, generous, the texture is relaxed, the pattern is complete, but the qualified wide plate must go through strict material selection and quality acceptance.

In general, wide floors should have deformation-resistant grooves on the back, and the grooves should be up to one-third of the thickness of the floor. If it is used for floor heating, it should be thin but not thick, generally 8-12mm thick.

2. Floor moisture content.

The moisture content of wooden floors is crucial. The moisture content of the purchased flooring must be equal to the local equilibrium moisture content. When buying a floor, be sure to measure the moisture content, if you don't have a moisture content tester, don't buy its board.

The method of balancing the moisture content determination is very simple, first determine the moisture content of the purchased varieties in the exhibition hall, and then open the box to detect the moisture content of the purchased varieties of wood flooring, if the moisture content of the two is only +1%-2%, it is a qualified product.

3. Floor material.

Observe with your eyes whether the floor is of the same material, and whether the board surface has material defects such as cracking, decay, peeling, dead joints, insect eyes, and blue staining. Usually there is no need to be too strict about color differences, joints, textures, etc., which are the natural properties of wood. It is the color difference and the natural texture that changes that show the natural color of the solid wood floor, which is the fashion pursued by the current international home decoration.

4. Machining accuracy.

Generally, after unpacking the wooden floor, you can take out about 10 pieces of freehand assembly, touch it by hand, see whether its processing quality accuracy, finish, whether it is smooth and smooth, and whether the tenon and groove fit, installation gap, denaturation resistance groove and other assemblies are tightly fitted. Observe the tongue and groove occlusion, assembly gap, and height difference between adjacent plates.

5. Floor after-sales.

There are many wood flooring manufacturers on the market, the quality is uneven, it is recommended to choose a good brand of wood flooring, these brand manufacturers will provide perfect after-sales service, and there is a certain warranty period. It can save a lot of worry.

1. Because the solid wood floor is easy to warp and deform, it is best to choose a small size board when choosing, compared with a large board, a narrow and short wooden floor is more difficult to deform.

2. For the solid wood floor made of natural wood, the advantages and disadvantages of the wood used should be investigated, and you can take a few more solid wood floors to observe whether there are insect eyes, cracking, mildew and other phenomena.

3. You can take a few more pieces of solid wood flooring on the ground to assemble them, observe their flatness and the accuracy of the size, some floors due to the inaccurate processing size, some of the gaps are large after splicing, some of the gaps are narrow, very ugly, and they are easy to deform in the future, and they are not suitable for purchase.

4. Generally, there is paint on the surface of the solid wood floor, so you should choose one with a smooth paint surface, no impurities, no bubbles, and no potholes.

Inspection mark, packaging and quality inspection report: the mark should have the name of the manufacturer, the address, the telephone, the name of the wood (tree species), grade, specification, quantity, inspection certificate, implementation standards, etc., the packaging should be intact and undamaged, and the quality inspection report should be valid.

Choose the size of the specification: the smaller the size of the floor, the better the resistance to deformation, consumers should choose a short and narrow solid wood floor.

Select moisture content: moisture content is the most important factor that directly affects the deformation of the floor, and the moisture content of the purchased floor should be between 7% and the local equilibrium moisture content.

Processing accuracy: Consumers can simulate the pavement of 10 floors on the flat ground, and observe whether the joints are smooth and smooth, and whether the tenon and groove occlusion is appropriate by hand touch and visual inspection.

Select the quality of the board surface: observe whether the floor is of the same tree species, whether the board surface has cracks, decay, skin, dead joints, insect eyes and other material defects, and do not need to be too strict with color difference, loose joints, texture, etc.

Paint quality: The paint surface of the paint board should be uniform, smooth and smooth, with no paint leakage, no bubbles and no cracks. At the same time, the following requirements must be met:

Whether the adhesion of the floor paint film is qualified: it is best to choose products that meet national standards.

The wear resistance of the floor surface should be good: it is best to choose a product with a wear value within the rotation.

The hardness of the paint film should be high: it is best to choose products that meet the national standard H or above.

Choose the color of the floor: The determination of the color of the floor should be based on the size of the home decoration area, the color of the furniture, the overall decoration style, etc.

Choose according to the size of the home decoration area: for rooms with large area or good lighting, dark wood flooring will make the room look compact; The small room has a light wood floor that gives a sense of spaciousness.

Choose according to the different functions of the decoration place: light and soft colors should be used in the living room, and warm floors should be used in the bedroom.

Solid wood flooring: Solid wood flooring is a floor decoration material formed by drying and processing wood. It has the characteristics of natural pattern, comfortable foot feeling and safe use, and is an ideal material for floor decoration in bedrooms, living rooms, and study rooms.

The decorative style of solid wood is back to the basics, the texture is natural, and the solid wood floor is more precious in today's declining forest coverage rate and vigorously advocating environmental protection. Solid wood flooring is divided into three grades: AA grade, A grade and B grade, and AA grade has the highest quality.

When purchasing solid wood flooring, attention should be paid to detecting the moisture content of the wood, and the floor with high moisture content will inevitably be deformed after installation. The floor moisture content in the northern part of China is 12%, and the floor moisture content in the southern region should also be controlled within 14%.

Laminate flooring: Laminate flooring is a popular flooring material in recent years. It is made by pressing the log at high temperature and high pressure after the log is crushed, filled with glue, preservatives and additives, so it breaks the physical structure of the log and overcomes the weakness of poor stability of the log.

Laminate flooring has high strength and uniform specifications.

First, the wear coefficient is high, anti-corrosion, anti-moth and the decorative effect is good, which overcomes the problems of scars, insect eyes and color difference on the surface of the log.

Laminate flooring does not need to be painted and waxed, and it is the most suitable floor material for the rhythm of modern family life. In addition, the wood use rate of laminate flooring is high, and it is a good environmentally friendly material.

Solid wood parquet: Solid wood parquet is divided into three layers: three-layer solid wood flooring, multi-layer solid wood flooring, and new solid wood flooring, because it is made of different tree species of plates staggered lamination, so it overcomes the shortcomings of one-way sameness of solid wood flooring, small dry shrinkage and wet expansion rate, has good dimensional stability, and retains the natural wood grain and comfortable foot feeling of solid wood flooring.

Compared with other floors, solid wood flooring is environmentally friendly and durable, and is the first choice for many home decorations. So how should you choose solid wood flooring? These programs cannot be saved during the purchase process!

1. Merchants should be required to provide necessary green and environmental protection test reports. 2. Look for businesses with high consumer evaluation and guaranteed after-sales. 3. But it is not good to look at a product, for the same kind of board, different brands of solid wood flooring, I carefully compare the production process, price and industry professionalism and other issues.

4. The contract and invoice must be marked with: wood species, board specifications, size, quantity, price, etc. 5. On the sales contract of solid wood flooring, write the formal scientific name of the purchased solid wood floor to prevent merchants from deception.

6. Before the floor is paved, carefully inspect the wood species, specifications, quantity and size of the purchased solid wood floor. 7. Remember, solid wood flooring is generally included in paving, so remember not to spend this unjust installation cost. That's all, the current good solid wood flooring brands are nature, icons, life homes, etc., it is recommended that you choose the right wood flooring according to the decoration style and preferences of your home.

1. Look at the texture.

The texture of different wood is different, and the texture of the same wood species is generally clearer, the better, whether the board surface is flat, and whether the technical process of the tenon is conducive to the joint of the floor. When purchasing, you may wish to look at the comparison of several brands, and the clearer the texture, the better.

2. Smell the wood.

The smell of different woods is obviously different, usually authentic balsam dalpike pea has a strong sandalwood fragrance, and its smell has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects. On the contrary, a poorly quality floor smells of rotten wood slag.

3. Ask the place of origin.

Learn more about the wood species and flooring, such as origin, properties and moisture content.

4. Weigh the weight.

In general, the weight of the same wood type is the same. The light weight is the unqualified one.

For many years, furniture people have shared 6 precautions for buying solid wood furniture to avoid stepping on pits.

1. Texture: A good floor has a regular texture, and a messy or inverted texture not only affects the appearance, but also is difficult to paint.

2. Color difference: As a natural product, a slight color difference is unavoidable and does not affect the appearance, but serious color difference or black discoloration is not allowed.

3. Cracks: Cracks are divided into two types: longitudinal cracks and annular cracks. The longitudinal crack trend penetrates the wood grain and gradually extends; Ring cracks are mostly generated between wood grains and generally do not extend.

Cracks are not allowed on the first-class floor, while longitudinal cracks with a width of 20 mm and non-penetrating annular cracks with a length of 20 mm are allowed for the first-class flooring.

4. Insect eye: that is, the piercing eye left after being eaten by insects. After the floor is artificially dried, the moths have died, and the moths will not develop again, but the existence of insect eyes affects the appearance after all, therefore, the first-class products are not allowed to have insect eyes, and the first-class products are allowed to have a small number of pinhole-like insect eyes with a diameter of lmm.

5. Decay: Wood tissue necrosis, mildew, discoloration, so the texture is loose and the strength is reduced, which is "rotten wood can not be carved".

6. The pith and bark: that is, the material and bark in the center of the tree, the material and texture of this part are poor.

The above small dots can be identified by eyesight alone, and it is necessary to be careful, after all, the texture, color difference, and cracks are easy to see on the floor, but this insect eye is really difficult for ordinary people to find. As for this, you can't see it with your eyesight alone, so you need to pay attention to some skills, such as stepping, burning, scraping, anyway, the skills you learned from other review sites (I used to buy Higa solid wood flooring), you can use them all.

Solid wood flooring is not higher than laminate flooring and multi-layer solid wood flooring, and it is one level higher in terms of materials, not to mention that it also has a price advantage. Therefore, friends must be careful when buying solid wood flooring, and then be careful, it is best not to go to any miscellaneous brand stores, brand stores are the best.
