2026-03-30
Modern urban life is busy and tense, and a warm home can bring everyone the most relaxing leisure time. But how can we make our home warm and comfortable? As long as you master some small skills, you can easily create a pleasant home.
Material type
There are many types of solid wood flooring materials, including imported and domestic materials, precious rosewood and teak, as well as popular varieties such as sweet bean, birch, and water chestnut. Due to the different types of flooring materials, there is a significant price difference. When consumers choose flooring materials, they should choose flooring with stable material selection and their favorite patterns and colors.
Specifications
In terms of the stability of wooden boards, the smaller the size of the floor, the better its resistance to deformation. Therefore, it is necessary to choose short and narrow solid wood floors to minimize the bending, twisting, sagging, shrinkage, arching and other phenomena of solid wood floors. Floor experts believe that shorter ones are better than longer ones; Narrow ones are better than wide ones, and they are cheap and of good quality.
water content
The moisture content of solid wood flooring is the most important factor directly affecting the deformation of the flooring, and the moisture content of the purchased flooring must be close to the local equilibrium moisture content. When buying flooring, it is necessary to ask sales personnel to measure the moisture content of the flooring. The method is simple: first measure the moisture content of the purchased flooring sample in the exhibition hall, and then open the box to inspect the moisture content of the purchased flooring. If the moisture content difference between the two is only 1% to 2%, it is suitable for laying flooring in the local area.
machining accuracy
After assembling 8 to 12 pieces of flooring on flat ground, use hand touch and eye observation to observe whether the processing accuracy is flat, smooth, and whether the mortise and tenon fit is appropriate. It should not be too loose or too tight.
material
Observe with your eyes whether the floor is made of the same material, and whether there are material defects such as cracking, decay, peeling, dead joints, insect eyes, and bluish discoloration on the surface. Usually, there is no need to overly demand color differences, knots, textures, etc., as these are natural properties of wood. It is the natural texture with color difference and rich variation that displays the natural color of solid wood flooring, which is currently the fashion pursued by home decoration internationally.
paint quality
After being painted, the surface of the board is called a painted board, and when selecting it, attention should be paid to three things and three nothing. Three requirements: the paint surface should be uniform, smooth, and even; The three no's are: no paint leakage, no bubbles, and no cracks.
after-sales service
When choosing flooring, consumers need to consider a series of issues to prevent unnecessary trouble. For example, how to lay the floor? Who will lay it? When will it be laid? How to maintain? Who is responsible for warranty, etc.
