Because solid wood flooring is still relatively easy to break, hitting the keel can prolong the life of the floor and provide better ventilation. It also prevents odors and makes it more comfortable for the feet.
Why does solid wood flooring have keels, and the specific reasons are as follows:
Playing a role in leveling the ground: for the cement ground is not very flat, the keel can play a role in leveling.
Moisture-proof: There is a keel as an intermediate layer between the solid wood floor and the ground, and the solid wood floor does not need to contact the ground to have a certain amount of air circulation, and the service life of the floor will also be extended.
Better foot feel: Many people choose solid wood flooring because it feels comfortable on their feet, and the keel acts as a fixed support, and the gap between them makes solid wood flooring more elastic and more comfortable and gentle to walk.
At present, the wooden keels seen on the market are all made from fast-growing forests. It is grown into two to three years, not more than four years at the latest, so that the density of the wood will be low, relatively loose, the fiber is not strong, the keel contact on the cement floor will continue to absorb water from the cement floor, easy to make the keel mildew, decay, easy to make the keel rot, this is the floor for a long time people will have the sound of Zi Ga Zi Ka, this is not the reason for the floor but the reason for the keel.
It is strongly recommended to install the keel, someone asked this question two days ago, but the best answer is that it can not be installed, I think it is a very irresponsible answer, about whether it is needed, in fact, you can get a reply from the factory, do not install the keel will not give you a warranty (of course, you must exclude which irresponsible merchants), and it is strongly recommended that you use professional workers in the factory, the floor is three points of flooring, seven points of installation. You can see the importance of installation.
Solid wood flooring will be deformed due to weather reasons, dry shrinkage and wet expansion, heat expansion and cold contraction, so it should be fixed, so that it only changes within a certain range, and so on. One way to do this is to fix it to the keel with a nail (there are other methods, such as glue directly to the concrete floor). >>>More
1. Disperse deformation stress: because the solid wood floor is a wood object arranged in the single fiber direction, which is very easy to deform, so the laying direction of the solid wood floor and the laying direction of the keel should be perpendicular when laying, and the purpose is to stagger the constraint to disperse the expansion and contraction stress of the solid wood floor. >>>More
With my more than ten years of construction experience, I can tell you very responsibly that as long as the quality of the solid wood floor is qualified, the moisture-proof mat of the ground is done before paving (we generally make a layer of waterproof first, and then lay a layer of floor moisture-proof mat), there is absolutely no problem with direct paving.
Now there is a kind of solid wood floor installation without keel, this solid wood floor counterpart splicing form is similar to the composite floor, directly laid on the moisture barrier layer of the foundation floor.
