Does the thickness and size of parquet affect its quality?

When buying parquet, we often focus on the style, color, material and price of parquet, and rarely pay attention to the thickness and size of the floor. Does the thickness and size of parquet affect its quality?

Pay attention to the tree species and thickness of the parquet surface.

The thickness of the parquet and the thickness of the surface are the main factors that affect the price. Consumers should choose according to their home environment, decoration style, personal preferences and economic strength. The thickness of the surface layer of parquet is an important reason for determining its service life, the thicker the surface panel, the longer the resistance time, and it is also easy to repair the lacquer.

Check the dimensions of parquet.

Pay attention to whether the length, width and thickness of the product are the same as expressly stated, and check whether the tenon and groove of the floor are tightly combined and the surface quality. A few floors can be randomly selected for splicing to observe the degree of tightness, surface flatness, and paint film uniformity. Generally, the surface of the brand parquet is very flat, the color and texture are clear and beautiful, and the paint film is uniform and shiny.

The editor of Anxin Flooring suggests that when buying parquet, you should not buy too much material, color difference and other problems, and should pay more attention to some small details of parquet, so as to be more able to choose a satisfactory parquet.

Pick eight principles.

First, it varies from person to person. The type of wooden flooring is selected according to the economic conditions, the size of the room, the height of the floor, and the length of the stay. Strip flooring and parquet flooring can be laid without glue, which is easy to disassemble and assemble when relocating; Short strip parquet flooring is generally laid by adhesive method, but it is difficult to disassemble and assemble.

Second, the processing size should be accurate. The processing error of the wooden floor should be small, the geometric size should be regular, whether the slats are flat, especially the width direction and the tenon and groove size of the tenon and tenon are more important, generally below plus or minus millimeters.

Third, the board surface should be smooth and smooth. There are no obvious knife marks on the front, and a little trace of missing planing or sawing is allowed on the reverse side, and the vertebral groove groove should be properly tightened and smooth, without blockage and no obvious gap.

Fourth, there should be a limit to wood defects. Genuine straight lines are obvious and parallel, and reach "ten no", no knots, no insect eyes, no decay, no blunt edges, no cracks, no distortion, no twills, etc. In particular, there should be no blunt edges, so as not to affect the pavement.

Fifth, the strength of wood should be adapted to local conditions. In general, the higher the density of the wood, the stronger it is and the better the quality. However, the strength of the floor can be selected according to the different parts used.

For example, in the living room, dining room, and public places, you can choose varieties with high floor strength, while in the bedroom, you should choose varieties with relatively low floor strength, such as ash, beech, etc. Some rooms for the elderly can choose eucalyptus and southwest birch with average strength but very soft and warm.

Sixth, the wood must be dried. In addition to the inherent thermal expansion and cold contraction characteristics of the object, wood also has the characteristics of wet expansion and dry contraction. Therefore, the drying process in the production process of wood flooring is an extremely important process, and the quality of the treatment has a great impact on the quality of the floor.

The moisture content of wooden flooring is generally required to be controlled below 15%, and 8% to 12% is the best. The moisture content in the north can be below 12%, and the humid climate in the south can be below 15%. The way to tell if a wooden floor has been dried is:

Touch it by hand or use a humidity meter.

Seventh, it should not be too wide and too long. Generally speaking, the shorter and narrower the wooden floor, the more firm and flat it will be. Long floors are generally about 2 meters long and 80 mm wide.

With too long flooring, the processing bending degree is large, it is not easy to lay, and it is easy to loosen; In addition, the floor that is too long and too wide will shrink and shrink the moisture and expand greatly, which is easy to warp and crack.

Eighth, there should be a slight surplus in the number of purchases. The number of wooden floors purchased should be slightly increased compared with the actual laying area, and generally 20 square meters of rooms need to be added by 1 square meter to make consumption backup.
