Many people are very fond of solid wood flooring, which is comfortable on the feet, fresh and natural in style, and is the first choice for many families. But solid wood flooring also has a bad side, we have to be careful discretion. Here’s a look at what the advantages and disadvantages of solid wood flooring.
[What are the advantages and disadvantages of solid wood flooring]
A, the advantages of solid wood flooring
1, sound insulation and heat insulation
Solid wood flooring material is hard, meticulous wood fiber structure, low thermal conductivity, the effect of blocking sound and heat, better than cement, tile and steel. Therefore, wood flooring has sound absorption, sound insulation, reduce sound pressure, shorten the function of residual sound time, reduce the pollution effect of noise public hazards.
2、Regulate humidity
The wood characteristics of solid wood flooring is that the climate is dry, the wood internal moisture release; climate is humid, the wood will absorb moisture in the air. Wooden flooring by absorbing and releasing moisture, so the wood floor can automatically adjust the indoor temperature, humidity, reduce the occurrence of rheumatic diseases, and because of its small thermal conductivity, has the effect of winter warmth and summer cool (insulation effect is very good). No matter any time of the year, if a person sits on top of the wooden floor, he or she will feel very comfortable and will not have the feeling of cold and chilly, especially for families with children at home. Scientific research shows that long-term living in wooden houses, on average, can extend the life of 10 years.
3、Winter warmth and summer coolness
In winter, the board surface temperature of solid wood flooring is 8℃~10℃ higher than the board surface temperature of tiles, and people walk on the wood floor without cold feeling; in summer, the living room temperature of solid wood flooring is 2℃~3℃ lower than the room temperature of tile paving.
4、Green and harmless
Solid wood flooring materials from the original forest, the use of non-volatile wear-resistant paint coating, from the material to the paint surface are green and harmless, unlike tiles have radiation, also unlike laminate flooring have formaldehyde, is a natural green harmless ground building materials.
5、Gorgeous and noble
Solid wood flooring taken from high-grade hardwood materials, board surface wood grain beautiful, elegant and noble decoration, thick and warm texture, color gorgeous and rich, extremely rich in noble and elegant fashion taste, the visual effect is very good, strong sense of sensation, wood flooring does not look monotonous, the color is warm, especially when the body is tired, can make the body and mind happy, is the preferred flooring material for middle and high-end income families.
6、Durable
The vast majority of species of solid wood flooring, hard and dense material, corrosion and moth resistance, normal use, life can be up to decades or even hundreds of years.
Second, the disadvantages of solid wood flooring
1, wood flooring is difficult to maintain: high drying requirements, should not be used in places with large changes in humidity, otherwise prone to expansion, shrinkage deformation; solid wood flooring requirements for installation is high, once installed poorly, will cause a series of problems. The complaint rate of flooring installation problems has been high on this issue. This is also equivalent to say, from the beginning of the installation, you have to spend a lot of energy to pay attention to the installation of solid wood flooring. Fear of acid, alkali and other chemicals corrosion, fear of burning. The stability of solid wood flooring is not good enough, indoor environment is too wet or dry when easy to arch, warp or deformation and other problems. And after the pavement is also often waxed, oiled, otherwise the surface of the floor gloss soon disappeared, really when tired.
2, the price is high: due to the impact of various factors, solid wood flooring has been maintained at a higher price level, and there is no possibility of downward adjustment in the short term. Now on the market a little better, the quality of the more secure solid wood flooring prices are also in the 200 yuan / square meter or more. Count down, spend in the solid wood flooring money is really less, the budget is tight family or have to weigh weigh. The above two problems exist, making solid wood flooring is destined to become a certain economic strength, enough time and energy to maintain the family’s choice.
The solid wood flooring is good]
First. Solid wood flooring has a good sound insulation effect, because solid wood flooring material is hard, meticulous wood fiber structure, low thermal conductivity, the effect of blocking sound and heat, better than cement, tile and steel.
Secondly. Solid wood flooring can regulate humidity, because solid wood flooring material is hard, dense wood fiber structure, low thermal conductivity, the effect of blocking sound and heat, better than cement, tile and steel.
Thirdly. Solid wood flooring warm in winter and cool in summer, winter, solid wood flooring surface temperature to be higher than the tile surface temperature of 8 ℃ ~ 10 ℃, people walking on the wooden floor without a sense of cold; summer, solid wood flooring room temperature to be lower than the tile paving room temperature 2 ℃ ~ 3 ℃.
Fourth. Solid wood flooring environmental health, solid wood flooring materials from the original forest, the use of non-volatile wear-resistant paint coating, from the material to the paint are green and harmless, unlike tiles have radiation, also unlike laminate flooring formaldehyde, is the only natural green harmless ground building materials.
Fifth. Solid wood flooring decorative effect is good, gorgeous and rich, solid wood flooring taken from high-grade hardwood materials, board surface wood grain beautiful, elegant and noble decoration, is the first choice of high-end income families flooring materials.
Sixth. Solid wood flooring is durable, the majority of species of solid wood flooring, hard and dense material, corrosion and moth resistance, normal use, life can be up to decades or even hundreds of years.
