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

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.

Causes and solutions of local wood floorings arch camber

Local arch camber of wood floorings always trouble owners. What on earth would cause this phenomenon and how to avoid it? Reasons why  wood floorings would cause local arch camber: First, moisture contents of the surface layer are a little higher or lower than normal conditions. When it is a little higher,  hardwood floorings would loose moisture in the dry air. The fracture would shrink, crack and deform. When it is a little lower, hardwood  floorings absorb moisture after installation. Thus, it would cause local arch camber.   Second, if stone concrete or heat-preserved sound insulation material between the wooden joist are not dry enough, hardwood floorings would camber or deform after installation.   Third, if the floors are not installed with skirtings or vent, the moisture inside can not expel after installation. Forth, if the subfloor do not have gap or just have few, surface layer would camber or deform after damp expansion. In order to prevent arch camber or deformation, we should pay attention to several points when installing. First, control the moisture content, less than 12% Second, stone concrete or heat-preserved and sound insulation material between the wooden joists should be dried before installtion. Third, set the vent reasonably. The grooves should be open to each other and connected with the surface layer. There should be more than 2 vents in every room and every skirting board. The vents must be well-ventilated. Forth, We should open the gap of subboards. Normally, it is 2mm to 5mm. The surface should be planed and staggered. There should be a distance of 10mm to 15mm between the walls. Fifth, there should be a 10mm gap between the surface layer and the wall, and use skirtingboards or skirting to seal them.

Being particularly resistant and stable, teak wood flooring ​​​lifetime is over 1000 years . Because of its micro pinhole stable structure, teak wood flooring is not only strong and flexible , but also very stable. Usually two years after the hardwood flooring is installed,there will be a great contraction for the wood flooring in the winter , with the gap of 3-4 mm ; while summer the wood flooring is going to  expand or cup, And there would be the sounding while people walk on it. However,burma teak wood flooring is very stable , there is little gap because of the climate change. Classic color, golden brown to bronze , beautiful ink lines of the wood grains, the whole constituting a mix of natural beauty laying, revealing profound nature temperament, especially classical elegance.   Teak has a unique natural fragrance , to repel termite, being waterproof and particularly resistant, teak woud  not rot in the Millennium period . The teak fragrance smells comfortable , refreshing, have a good effect in the elderly brain systems . Timeless  is the mark of the teak wood flooring. Besides,the oil spots in the wood will gradually fade due to sunlight effect , and the classic brown color and layout looks more beautiful after years.
