How to choose a wooden square as a solid wood floor keel

Many families choose flooring when home decoration, 30mm*50mm wood as solid wood floor keel, generally 20mm*40mm wood as ceiling or other base keel. Many people will ask how to choose when buying fir squares? The purchaser should pay attention to the following matters:

1. Choose a wood without bark and insect eyes, the bark is a place for parasites to live, and the wood with bark is prone to moths. If the wood cube with insect eyes can not be used, it means that there are moths or insect eggs in the wood cube, and if the wood cube is used in home decoration, the moths will eat all the wood that can be eaten.

2. See whether the wood is straight, if there is a bend, it can only be a bend, not a wave bend, otherwise the curved wood is easy to cause structural unevenness, deformation, etc.

3. To choose a dense wood square, there is a sense of heaviness when you hold it by hand, there will be no obvious traces when you pick it with your fingernails, and it is elastic when pressed by hand, and it is easy to recover after bending, and it will not break. The sound of hand tapping is loud and crisp, because this fir tree grows in the mountains, and in the north, it becomes tougher and tougher when the north wind blows.

4. See whether the specifications of the size of the cross-section of the selected wood meet the requirements and whether there are sufficient numbers. Whether the head and tail of the wood square are smooth and even, there can be no large places and small places.

5. To choose a fir with fewer knots and smaller fir, as the saying goes: "Fir knots are as hard as iron." "If the knot is large and numerous, it will break through the knot. It will lead to a weak base layer. Nails and screws cannot be screwed in or broken at the wooden knots.

6. See whether the color is bright, the fresh wood is slightly red, the texture is clear, if the wood color is dark yellow, matte means that it is rotten wood.

In short, as long as you understand the properties of wood and carefully purchase according to the above points, you will choose the ideal wood keel.

Sourced from the wood portal.

You should choose to use Korean pine wood cubes with a moisture content between 8-12.

The price of the general fir side is cheap, but you should pay attention to choose some with low humidity, or leave it for a period of time after buying it (natural air drying), and do insect and antiseptic treatment (apply preservatives) before use

Although pine has better strength, it is difficult to treat insects and corrosion.

Of course, the special anticorrosive wood keel is naturally better, but the price is more expensive.

1. Careful selection: The amount of wooden keels we use is very large, and when we buy them, they are not bought one by one, basically they are bundled together, which requires us to carefully inspect them, so as not to have quality problems with the wooden keels bundled together, and it is best for everyone to carefully check each one.

2. Check the appearance: The raw material of the wooden keel is wood, and it is best to carefully check the appearance of the wooden keel when purchasing. If there is a large scar on the wooden keel, it is easy to crack when installing nails, and even if it does not crack, the wooden keel structure will become very weak, and there are certain safety hazards.

3. Look at the section: In addition to looking at the surface of the wooden keel, the section of the wooden keel is also very important. When looking at the cut surface of the wooden keel, you must pay attention to whether it complies with the relevant regulations, such as size, whether the head and tail are smooth, and so on.

In addition, the wooden keel must be straight, if the use of non-straight wooden keel is easy to cause structural deformation, will affect the installation quality of the entire ceiling.

4. Choose water content: Since the wooden keel is made of wood, it is natural to take into account its water content, and must be carefully checked when purchasing, and do not choose the content of more than the local average moisture, otherwise the wooden keel will be broken, cracked or moldy during use.
