When choosing solid wood flooring, you can use the following methods to guide your selection: Checking the precision of wood flooring. After opening the package, you can randomly take several boards and join them manually. If the connection is tight, without gaps in the middle, the boards are at the same height, this means that this batch of wooden flooring is a quality product. Inspection of the floor surface: check the smoothness of the varnish film on the surface. Products of poor quality often have bubbles or an uneven varnish coating on the surface. High-quality products have a smooth and even surface, without bubbles. Checking the original defects of the wooden flooring: When checking the defects, it is enough to ensure that there are no defects such as gap joints, cracks and rot. Types of Wood Flooring: There are many types of solid wood flooring available in the market these days. Therefore, you should not trust sellers who assign high-sounding names of imported wood to their products. It is enough to choose a seller with a good reputation, which will also provide certain guarantees in after-sales service and repairs. If solid wood flooring is not suitable for installation in your home, it is recommended to choose solid wood flooring. The base of a solid wood parquet board is made of several layers of veneer glued together. Wood fibers intersect lengthwise and crosswise, forming a mesh structure compressed layer by layer. This not only maintains the evenness and stability of the wooden flooring, but also allows the use of valuable wood species on the surface, increasing the aesthetics of the flooring due to sophisticated technology.

Flooring is one of the indispensable basic materials when finishing a home. It creates a strong feeling of coziness. For a homeowner, flooring is undoubtedly an indispensable building material that enhances the warm atmosphere of the home. However, with this comes common problems such as heaving, cracking and warping, of which warping is a typical example. How to ensure that the floor covering does not deform?

Deformation of the flooring is mainly caused by improper installation, temperature conditions, quality and other factors. However, installing flooring is far from simple. For flooring, quality is three-tenths and installation is seven-tenths. The quality of installation affects not only the service life, but also the quality of life of the owner. Therefore, the installation of flooring must be approached with extreme caution.

Leveling the base

The first step in installing flooring is leveling the base. Leveling the base is the job of the plasterer. Even with the highest skill of workers, omissions are inevitable, especially near walls and in corners, so these places must be double-checked. If you don't have your own tools, wait until the laminate flooring manufacturer comes to measure and ask them to carefully check the levelness of the subfloor. If the error exceeds 3 mm, it is necessary to re-level the base. This should not be considered unimportant: it is in places where the base is uneven that the flooring most often cracks and lifts.

The glue in the grooves should be evenly distributed.

When laying flooring, it is necessary to leave gaps

When laying flooring, gaps of 2 centimeters should be left as expansion joints, which are then covered with plinths. Some owners, for the sake of cleanliness, when laying wooden flooring, do not leave the required expansion gaps between adjacent boards or ask installers to make the seams as narrow as possible. This also prevents the flooring from expanding. After absorbing moisture from humid air, the boards expand and swell easily, until the varnish layer cracks. The structural expansion gap between the wooden floor covering and the wall is left insufficient.

Solid wood flooring has a natural warmth and softness. Rational care can effectively extend the service life and maintain an aesthetic appearance. During daily use, it is necessary to control the temperature and humidity in the room. Optimal humidity should be maintained between 40%-60%. In the dry season, you should use a humidifier; in humid weather, ventilate and dry the room in a timely manner to avoid cracking and swelling of the floor covering due to sudden changes in humidity.

A dust-proof and anti-slip mat should be placed at the entrance to the room to reduce scratching of the varnish surface by sand and solid particles. It is necessary to install soft pads on furniture legs; when moving furniture, you should not rub it directly on the floor surface. For cleaning, it is preferable to use a slightly damp special mop for wooden floors. It is strictly forbidden to pour out large amounts of water and wash the floor with a wet cloth, preventing accumulated water from penetrating into the gaps of the slabs. For cleaning, use special care products for wooden floor coverings. Do not use strong alkaline or acidic cleaning agents to avoid damaging the varnish surface.

Carry out regular maintenance: it is recommended to treat every 6-12 months with oil and wax or a special oil for floor coverings, restoring the smallest damage to the varnish layer. In everyday life, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, use curtains to protect against intense light, preventing fading and discoloration of the wood. If a small amount of accumulated water appears, immediately wipe it dry and ventilate it in a timely manner to dry it. Proper care allows you to preserve the natural texture of solid wood flooring for a long time and maintain a stable and serviceable condition for a long time.
