    1. Observe the accuracy of the floor. After unpacking, about 10 pieces of wooden flooring were taken out and assembled with bare hands, and the tongue and mouth bite of the floor, the assembly gap, and the height difference between adjacent floors were observed.

    2. Check for substrate defects. Observe the floor section to see if the plate texture is chaotic; Check for defects such as dead joints, live joints, cracks, decay, and fungus. Since the solid wood flooring is a natural wood product. Objectively, there is a phenomenon of color difference and unevenness, and there is no need to pay too much attention to color difference.

    3. Measure the moisture content. The national standard stipulates that the moisture content of wood flooring is 8%-13%, due to regional differences, the moisture content of the floor in the northern region is 12%, and the moisture content in the southern region should be controlled within 14%.

    4. Determine the appropriate length. It is recommended to choose a short and medium-length floor, which is not easy to deform, easy to lay, and is not afraid of damage during transportation. Floors that are too long and too wide are relatively easy to deform, and they can also be troublesome to install.

    5. Identify the type of flooring material. At present, the name of the hail tree species on the market is often confused, and some manufacturers in order to promote sales, the wood is given a variety of good names that do not conform to wood science, such as: rosewood, gold does not change, jade sandalwood and other names; What's more, with low-grade high-grade wood, consumers must not be confused by the name, figure out the material, so as not to be deceived.

    At the same time, do not pursue imported materials too much, there are many tree species in China, and the quality and price of tree species in many regions are better than similar imported tree species.

    The selection of solid wood flooring is mainly to see whether the material is real, that is, to be genuine. The following are the precautions for the selection of solid wood flooring:

    1) Texture: It is the standard for judging the quality of the floor, and the regular texture is beautiful and generous, do not choose the floor with disorganized texture.

    2) Color: High-quality solid wood flooring should have natural tones, clear wood grain, and the material is visible to the naked eye. If the surface of the floor is dark and the paint layer is thick, it may be intentional to cover up the surface defects of the floor, especially when the floor is painted on six sides.

    3) Cracks: Cracks are inevitable on the floor of medium and low grades, but it is not good if they are too big. Some cracks arise between the grain of the wood, and this crack will not extend and can be used with confidence, but some cracks are through the grain, so you must not buy it, because these cracks will extend and have a great negative impact on the future.

    4) Knots: that is, knots, which can be divided into living knots and dead knots. As a natural product, it is impossible to do without knots, and the reasonable distribution of knots will make wood products more beautiful.

    The state stipulates that all live knots with a diameter of 3mm and dead knots with a diameter of 2mm and without falling off are not regarded as defective knots.

    Start by determining the color and price point of the hardwood floor.

    Solid wood floors on the market come in a wide range of colors, ranging from birch in the color of the original wood to dozens of colors in the darkest of rosewood. Wooden flooring of the same color can also be made from different varieties of wood, and the price of its preciousness ranges from tens of yuan square meters to hundreds of thousands of square meters.

    The floor occupies a very important position in the interior decoration, and the color of the floor can best reflect the owner's decoration style and set off the atmosphere, so be sure to choose the color of the floor according to the style of the decoration design. The original wood color brings people a warm feeling of being close to nature; The white color is delicate and euphemistic, reflecting neatness and delicacy; The dark floors and antique furniture give people a solemn, simple and nostalgic feeling. In short, the color of the hardwood floor should be in harmony with the overall style of the home.

    In addition, choose wood according to your own economic situation. The price of birch, oak, etc., is low or moderate, and the price of precious varieties such as precious teak and rosewood is very high. The solid wood flooring wood varieties sold on the market can meet the requirements in terms of hardness and technology, so there is no need to blindly pursue the selection of precious varieties of wood, which can save considerable expenses for home decoration.

    The moisture content is the most important indicator of whether the solid wood floor will not be deformed, and the lower the better.

    When buying solid wood flooring, you can use a tester to measure the moisture content on the spot at the request of the customer.

    The moisture content is an important indicator of whether the solid wood floor is deformed or not. According to the national regulations, the moisture content of 8 12 is qualified, and it should be higher in the south and lower in the north. In fact, it is more accurate to say that there should be different standards in each place, and the average water content of 11 12 is appropriate.

    If the water content is too high, the wooden floor will gradually shrink and crack after the laying is completed; Too low a moisture content can cause the wood floor to absorb moisture from the air, causing swelling and warping. Therefore, the moisture content of the purchased wood flooring must be consistent with the local average.

    When purchasing, be sure to open the box and use a moisture content tester to detect the moisture content of the purchased varieties of wood flooring.

    First of all, the brand! Some people may say that there are good products with bad brands. So this is a matter of probability, the reason why I say that the first choice of brand products is that there is a standardized product production process and after-sales guarantee.

    The second is the price! The production cost of high-standard products will be higher than that of ordinary products, and the relative selling price will be higher than that of similar products.

    I recommend a bamboo base plate. As for the brand, I don't recommend it. So as not to be suspicious of advertising!
