The quality and installation of wood floorings are important, so are the accessories

During installation of wood flooring, the inner quality and installation method are significant. However, problems about paint, glue, underlayer, skirting are ignored. If these seemingly simple accessories are unsafe and unenvironmental-friendly, then they would influence the whole surroundings of the … Continue reading

How to get rid of foot sounds on wood flooring?

In some family, after home decoration, the wood floorings would produce sounds more or less when walking on them. Therefore, what is the reasons that result in the sounds?   In fact,  under heating system and wood floorings are closely related with each other. We should observe how the sounds are produced. If we tread on one place, it makes a sound, tread again, and sound again continuously, then we could sure that theunder heating system and the mortise are not fixed enough, or the mortise materials are too short, so that the under heating system could rope them. There are few approaches that can deal with the problems. Even though we can relieve them, we could not get rid of the roots. There is only one method. We should refix the under heating system and reinstall the wood floorings, which is troubling. Everyone is unwilling to do that. Only pay attention to these technics and approaches before installation can we avoid the sounds. 1  Before installing the under heating system, we usually use 12mm hammer to drill the holes. 2  Then the mortise should be a square that is 18 to 20mm or more. We can not easily drill the holes. Otherwise, the mortise shrink in a few days. 3  Wooden tongue rammed earth material is harder than under heating system material, then the hard wood contractile force is small. The under heating system is not easy to pull … Continue reading

Explanation on the structures and surface technics of laminate floorings

When people are choosing laminate flooring, it is undoubtably that we would consider the base  material. Then, the surface technics are also very important which influence the wearness of laminate wood floorings directly. Today, we will tell you the structure and surface technics of laminate wood floorings to help consumers have a better understanding of them. At first, we will give you a brief introduction of the structure of laminate wood floorings. From the bottom up, they are balance layer, base material layer, decoration layer, wear- resisting layer. The so-called surface technics is wear-resisting technics. For texture, we have aluminium oxide, melamine, and piano lacquer. Standardized laminate wood floorings should have aluminium oxide wear-resisting paper. They are 46g, 38g, 33g or lower. Our country has stipulated that the wear –resistance of the surface of laminate wood floorings should be more than 6000 stroll. Only the 46g wear- resistance paper can ensure that requirement. Melamine coatings are used in wallboard, desk etc which do not require high wear resistance. In the flooring industry, we call it ‘false floors’. Its wear-resistance stroll is only  300-500. If we use it as wood floors at a great intensity, two or three months can tear the decoration  paper. However, standardized laminate floorings can normally use 10 to 20 years and will not have  these problems. This kind of floor does not have wear-resistance on the surface. It looks clear, good, and  feels soft. That is why outsiders are easy to be cheated. Piano lacquer coating is in fact the coating on the hardwood floorings. From the characteristics on the surface, we can also divided into embossed surface and crystal surface. 1  Crystal surface are lustrous, smooth, wear-resisting and easy to take care of. 2  Embossed surface has no distinction with crystal surface from the positive surface. But from the negative surface, we can feel the wood grain shape pattern. Embossed surface are personalized and beautiful, but if we use the same weight wear-resistance paper, the wearness of crystal surface is higher.

lacquered wood floorings better or natural oiled wood floorings ?

In China, wood flooring companies often paint the surface when processing. However, European companies like to use natural oil painting. Why? First, it is the matter of aesthetics. In early times, people think that wood floorings with good luster, smoothness, hardness and strong painting surface are favorable. Later, they discovered antique floorings, which makes advancement in aesthetics. Nevertheless, foreigners think that feelings are very important. You can take off you shoes and have a try. You would find that the feeling of bare foot on flat floors and natural oil floors are different. Paint film floors are sticky, while natural oil floors are more comfortable and natural, especially in summer. Nowadays, some of the companies in our country began to learn European enterprises. They use natural oil to paint the surface. This kind of wood floorings feel beautiful and soft. Second, it is the matter of wood flooring management. In the eyes of most people, the lacquered surface is better to manage than the natural oil surface. Really? In fact, foreigners have gone through this problems. No matter how well we paint the wood floorings, after few years frition, the wood floorings would have more and more scratches. With time go by, you would feel worse and worse so that you would like to replace them. But it consumes much energy to replace the  hardwood floorings. Then can you imagine how the foreigners would do? They would clean the floors well, find several pieces of sandpapers, and sand them. Then they brush some natural oil. One or two days later, you would find it more tasteful. Although ten years have past, there would be no place that is damaged. You only to find it more antique. However, paint surface can not do this. Third, it is the matter of environmental concept. To sum up, UV painting is environmental. It can reach country’s standard. But it does not mean there is no toxic content inside. It just contains a little. We have to see what paint you would use. On the other hand, natural oil is distilled from plants. Pure natural oil does no harm to people. Surely, in order to reduce cost, some people add some chemical products into it. As long as you smell it, you would feel tense. The installation of natural oiled hardwood floorings is simple. Thus, the production cost is lower than paint. But we have to pay attention to the quality of natural oil. So far, people have a simple understanding on natural oiled hardwood flooring s. Merchants have to guide them. Maybe some special group are suitable to this concept. We believe that in the future, more and more people would accept it. It is a trend.
