Among the dazzling flooring products, how to choose a high-quality product seems a bit confused, but it is not without a trace. The following suggestions give you some inspiration:

1. Tree species for solid wood flooring.

When choosing flooring, visual sense should be the primary satisfaction factor, as long as it is the texture and color that you like, and there is no need to pursue the use of certain tree species, or the pursuit of some imported tree species. The choice of tree species is based on our understanding of it and the value it can bring to us. At the same time, we must also consider the match with our own home decoration style and personal economic strength.

2. The size of the floor.

The specifications mentioned here refer to the length, width and thickness of the floor. Wide and long boards do bring a more atmospheric visual experience, but generally speaking, the greater the length and width of the floor, the greater the corresponding deformation, so technical requirements must be considered to ensure the deformation of the wide and long boards It does not affect the use of. In addition, it is necessary to decide whether to use wide and long boards according to the actual paving area of your own living room. In terms of thickness, solid wood flooring generally adopts the national standard of 18㎝ thickness, multi-layer solid wood composite flooring is generally 15㎝, and the thickness of laminate flooring is more, ranging from 8-12㎝. According to the domestic use environment, it is recommended to choose 10㎝ Above the thickness.

3. The color difference of the floor.

Some consumers are entangled in the color difference of solid wood flooring and multi-layer solid wood composite flooring when purchasing flooring. Because of its natural properties, each piece of solid wood flooring is slightly different, so the existence of color difference is normal. Color difference is the manifestation of the natural beauty of solid wood flooring. There is no need to require solid wood flooring to have no color difference. Consumers in European and American countries like the difference between solid wood flooring to reflect the color beauty of nature, and to avoid the aesthetic fatigue caused by the single color over time. And when we are paving, the service staff will usually pre-pave, so that the regional space presents a more unified visual sense.

4. The number of paint layers for the wooden floor.

Many consumers think that the more paint layers of wood floors, the more wear-resistant they are. In fact, more paint layers do improve a certain degree of wear resistance, but too many paint layers will reduce the permeability of the paint layer and weaken the color and clarity of the wood grain. , The characteristics of precious wood species are often buried by the paint layer, and some defective boards are also covered; at the same time, too much paint layer greatly reduces the adhesion and flexibility of the paint layer, which is more likely to cause the paint layer to crack or even crack.

5. Pay attention to the quality of auxiliary materials.

The quality of the paving material directly affects the installation and service life of the floor. The price and quality of the skirting line, keel, and cushion are also a problem we need to care about. There are a few unscrupulous merchants on the market that use inferior materials, which not only easily causes the floor to deform after paving, but also easily brings pollution such as formaldehyde. You must not be greedy for cheap, you should choose paving materials provided by regular manufacturers.

6. After-sales service cannot be ignored.

There is a famous saying in the flooring industry: "Three points of floor, seven points of paving." Floor installation has a greater impact on the quality of the floor, so everyone must pay attention to choosing manufacturers with high-quality after-sales service to install the floor. The service life of different types of wood flooring is also different. The service life of solid wood flooring is relatively long, up to several decades. The solid wood composite floor is generally made with a higher technology. In terms of service life, it is generally about 20 years, which can meet the needs of ordinary families. The service life of wood floors has a lot to do with daily maintenance, and regular maintenance can effectively increase the service life of the floor. As far as solid wood flooring is concerned, it can also be refurbished and maintained. Refurbishment can not only increase the service life of the floor after five years of use, but it is also better than re-paving the floor in terms of stability and economy.
