Do you have to play keels for paving solid wood floors? What are the benefits? Can I lay it directly

Why do you need a keel for solid wood flooring?

1. Playing a role in leveling the ground: playing the keel can play a role in leveling when the cement ground is not very flat.

2. 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 air circulation, and the service life of the floor will be extended.

3. Better foot feel: Many people choose solid wood flooring because it feels comfortable on the feet, and the keel is used as a fixed support, and the gap between them makes the solid wood floor more elastic and more comfortable and gentle to walk.

4. Noise reduction: When people walk on it, they will feel much gentler and there is no noise.

The disadvantages of solid wood flooring without keel.

1. Greatly reduce the foot feeling of solid wood flooring, it is better to spend less money to lay laminate flooring and composite flooring;

2. The wood properties of solid wood have not been changed, that is, the arrangement structure in the direction of the fiber, and the probability of deformation has not changed much;

3. Solid wood flooring cannot effectively avoid moisture, and the traditional moisture-proof film cannot solve the problem of air circulation under the floor.

Is it okay not to hit the keel when laying the solid wood floor? Okay, it's okay in the short term for three or five years, but if you think about it, ten or twenty years later, I hope that consumers will consider the purpose and reason for choosing solid wood flooring when choosing solid wood flooring.

Definitely yes, solid wood flooring is generally recommended to play keel, not recommended to lay directly on the floor, laying keel can better achieve the purpose of moisture-proof and insect-proof. Avoid arching the floor after being squeezed after heat expansion and cold contraction. Another of the most important features of the keel is that the level is maintained better, so as to avoid problems such as uneven installation of wooden floors caused by uneven base layers.

In addition, the laying of the keel can also make the floor feel better. These are all I saw on the Bell Floor Forum, I hope it will be useful to you.

You need to play keel, so that you can give full play to the advantages of solid wood flooring and have a good foot feel. And if you use a keel, the ground basically doesn't need to be leveled.
