Everyone wants to make their home more comfortable and warm, and every detail is perfect, and the bathroom is such a detail that reflects the owner’s life taste, and the choice of bathroom cabinets is particularly important.
Especially in winter, the bathroom without heating and hot water will be very dry and cold, while the bathroom with heating and hot water will be very humid. Under these two extreme environments, if there is no proper maintenance, solid wood bathroom cabinets may be will cause unnecessary harm.
The humidity of winter is coming
In winter, the bathroom environment has a lot of warm water and heating, which is easy to cause moisture, and the damp moisture is actually small water droplets, which are easy to fall to the ground, which will cause secondary moisture to the bathroom cabinet from the ground up.
Therefore, the wall-mounted bathroom cabinet solves the problem of moisture absorption at the bottom of the cabinet, and successfully blocks 50% of the water vapor in the bathroom cabinet from penetrating. It can not only avoid the direct contact of the cabinet with the ground, but also maximize the use of the upper space of the bathroom.
If you choose a floor-standing bathroom cabinet, you need to choose a non-contact bathroom cabinet on the ground; and the wooden cabinet legs are prone to moisture, which will unknowingly lead the moisture to the cabinet body, which will eventually cause the entire cabinet to deform.
If metal is used as the leg material at the bottom of the cabinet to support the cabinet, the problem will be solved skillfully. The bottom of the cabinet feet of Tigao solid wood bathroom cabinets all use special foot pads, which are specially used to solve the problem of moisture uploading and eliminate the problem of moisture.
How to deal with dry cracking?
In winter, the temperature is dry. Due to the need for family warmth, geothermal heating and air conditioning, etc., the dryness of the indoor air is increased. If the wood is seriously lacking in water, it will dry and crack.
Wood is a natural material that is made into furniture, as well as the properties of plants – it swells and shrinks. It still exchanges moisture with the air in its environment and contracts and expands with changes in relative humidity.
When the air is extremely dry, furniture loses moisture and shrinks, and cracks may appear on the surface of the furniture. On the contrary, when the humidity increases, the furniture will absorb the moisture and expand slightly, thereby returning to its original state. Simply put, cracking is a unique feature of solid wood furniture.
Maintenance knowledge of solid wood bathroom cabinets to prevent cracking
1. First of all, remember to keep away from heat sources. Especially for northern families, it is best to place solid wood furniture at a distance of about 1 meter from the heating source in winter, so as to avoid the bathroom cabinet being baked at a high temperature for a long time, which will cause local cracking and warping of parts. deformation, etc.
2. Appropriate humidity is very important. It is best to take humidification measures indoors. You can put a pot of water, or increase the indoor humidity of green plants, such as green radish and other plants with more volatile water.
If there is a hygrometer, then 40%-60% is the best for wood, and it is said that people are also adapted to this humidity. However, be careful not to over humidify directly. This will cause the wood to swell and mold.
3. Need to avoid direct sunlight. The place where the sun can be directly exposed will be relatively dry. If the solid wood bathroom cabinet is directly exposed to the sun for a long time as a whole or in part, it will easily cause the structure to be fragile or even unusable. Therefore, it is recommended that the bathroom cabinet be placed in a place that avoids direct sunlight.
4. If the floor of the bathroom is uneven, when placing the bathroom cabinet, the bottom of the legs of the bathroom cabinet should be solidly covered with non-slip foot pads.
In this way, it can keep it stable and avoid the deformation of the door panel caused by long-term skew, and secondly, the furniture can be placed firmly and safer.
