How should consumers choose wood flooring products suitable for their homes? How to identify the quality of solid wood flooring? Today we will ask experts from Sentai Flooring to answer your questions. \x0d\　1. Is the wood heavy and hard? The stability of floors with heavy and hard materials is generally better than that of light and soft floors, which are prone to expansion. For example: ironwood, rosewood, dragon and phoenix sandalwood, heavy ant wood, disc bean, acacia wood, grid wood are harder than ash (manchurian ash), fiber-skinned jade (Tao Ali), teak, the floor is not It is easy to deform, and fiber-skinned jade and ash wood often have gaps or local arching after a long time. Therefore, you can choose a floor based on the air-dry density of the floor where you live. Floors with an air-dry density above 0.8 are generally made of heavier, harder materials and have good stability. \x0d\\x0d\ 2. Whether the wood contains oil: The heavier and harder the material is, the better. Overly heavy and hard wood boards are prone to fine cracks (not between boards), and the air-dry density is above 1.0 Be careful with the floor. However, if the wood contains oil (unpainted boards and sawn surfaces feel oily to the touch), the stability will be better. Iron money is prone to fine cracks because it does not contain oil. Try not to pave it except on the first floor. The reason why heavy yam wood and disc beans are stable is that they contain oil. \x0d\\x0d\ 3. Is the natural color of the wood neutral and light? The stability of heavy antwood and Jatoba is good, but the natural color is dark and the color difference is large, so there are two problems: 1. The actual floor is often laid There is a big difference with the sample. Second, the color is single, that is, dark. Oak and other wood have light natural colors and can be processed into many colors with little color difference. Round beans and grid wood are also okay. \x0d\\x0d\ Represents the preferred solid wood flooring of different grades\x0d\\x0d\ 1. Low-end solid wood flooring below 200 yuan: \x0d\\x0d\ The wood of this grade basically comes from Southeast Asia. The wood is generally light and easy to use. Deformation. The ones with better stability are longan, pomelo, oak, Tao Ali, disc beans, iron hematoxylin, etc.\x0d\\x0d\　1. Iron hematoxylin: commonly known as golden sandalwood, rich in iron, material stability Well, the wholesale price of wide plate 123mm is around 190 yuan. Those that cost more than 160 are likely to have boards with insect holes and rotten scars that were repaired and painted dark, so try not to buy them.

\x0d\\x0d\　2. Disc Bean: Also called African Rosewood, it has good stability, high density, heavy weight, diverse and rich colors, and good color. The standard board price is around 180, and the wide board and long board are only over 200. Ideal for home decoration. \x0d\\x0d\ 2. Mid-range solid wood flooring priced at 230-250 yuan: \x0d\\x0d\ There are more woods in this grade, including disc beans, checkered wood, new beans from Africa, and oak from Russia; Brazil fiber-skinned jade stamens; teak wood from Indonesia. \x0d\\x0d\ 1. Disc beans, lattice wood, big leaf red sandalwood, etc. from Africa: advantages - heavy, hard, wear-resistant, good stability; many colors, wide choice\x0d\\x0d\ 2. Russian oak, white oak or red oak: Advantages - light color, beautiful pattern; good hardness, \x0d\\x0d\ 3. Brazilian fiber-skinned jade: Advantages - light color; Disadvantages - light and soft material, Easy to expand and deform\x0d\\x0d\ 4. Indonesian teak: Advantages - light material, average hardness, wear-resistant; Disadvantages - light color\x0d\\x0d\ 3. Mid-to-high-end solid wood flooring priced at 270-300 yuan:\ x0d\\x0d\　1. Brazilian Jatoba wood: Advantages-the material is heavy, hard, wear-resistant, and good in stability; Disadvantages-the wood changes color easily, and the color difference is large\x0d\\x0d\　2. Brazilian Jatoba/Dragon Phoenix Sandalwood: Advantages - the material is heavy, hard, and wear-resistant; the pattern is as beautiful as a phoenix tail; Disadvantage - the wood shrinks easily and causes gaps, so it is suitable for paving the first floor\x0d\\x0d\ 3. Russian oak: Advantages - light color, beautiful pattern\ x0d\\x0d\ 4. High-end solid wood floors above 380 yuan: 1. Brazilian heavy ant wood: Advantages - heavy material, hard, wear-resistant, good oil stability in wood; Disadvantages - large color difference, practical The floor that is laid is often different from the sample that was chosen when placing the order. It is best to choose products from manufacturers that specialize in heavy ant wood. \x0d\\x0d\　2. Brazilian balsamic pigeon pea: Advantages - the material is heavy, hard, wear-resistant, and the wood has fragrance; Disadvantages - poor stability and easy to shrink. \x0d\\x0d\　3. Burmese teak: Advantages - good oil stability, waterproof and moisture-proof; Disadvantages - light and soft material. \x0d\\x0d\　1. Material: Its quality is determined by its weight and price? \x0d\　Material is one of the issues that consumers are most concerned about when purchasing solid wood floors, and the misunderstandings are also the most prominent. The vast majority of consumers believe that the more expensive the tree species, the higher the price of the floor, and even the heavier the weight of the floor, the better the quality of the floor will naturally be. Therefore, some consumers use the weight method to decide the type of flooring to buy when purchasing wooden floors, but this is not the case. The preciousness of tree species and the stability of wood properties are two completely different concepts, and the weight of wood is inversely proportional to its thermal insulation, moisture-regulating and impact-mitigating properties. In addition to the air-dry density of coniferous wood and broadleaf wood not less than 0.50g/cm3, the tree species used on wooden flooring should meet the requirements of not less than 0.50g/cm3. The stability of the wood should be the most important factor in judging the quality of the wooden flooring material. Important reference basis. Good stability can prevent the wooden floor from cracking, twisting, bending, cracking, arching, and ringing during long-term use. \x0d\　2. Size: The bigger the better? \x0d\　This is also a common misunderstanding in choosing wooden floors. In recent years, the large-sized wooden floors supplied on the market have been favored by consumers because of their novelty and beauty, and have gradually occupied the mainstream of consumption, resulting in larger and thicker floor sizes. As we all know, thermal expansion and contraction are inherent characteristics of materials, and the same is true for wood. Excessive size and thickness will increase the internal stress of the material and reduce its resistance to deformation. Generally speaking, when choosing a floor, its size should be controlled within 910mm × 90mm × 18mm. It should be short rather than long, narrow rather than wide. \x0d\　3. Moisture content: the lower, the better? \x0d\　The current common understanding is that high moisture content of the floor may cause deformation after paving. Therefore, when purchasing flooring, consumers prefer to choose materials with lower moisture content, and even think that the lower the moisture content, the better. However, this is also a major misunderstanding when purchasing and even producing wooden floors today. As the most important parameter for the intrinsic quality of solid wood flooring, moisture content plays a vital role in later installation, use and maintenance. From the inherent characteristics of wood, the moisture content is not lower or higher, the better, but should be determined according to the environment in which it is used.

The new national standard for solid wood flooring in 2002 also made appropriate adjustments to the moisture content index of solid wood flooring, from the original 8%-13% to the new standard of 7%-the balanced moisture content of each region. Generally speaking, it is appropriate for the moisture content index of the floor to be slightly lower than the local equilibrium moisture content. The equilibrium moisture content in Jiangsu is 15.3%, so it is more appropriate for users in this area to choose a moisture content of 11%-14%. \x0d\ 4. Regarding color difference\x0d\ As a reflection of the natural characteristics of wooden flooring, color difference is unavoidable. The raw material of solid wood flooring itself is taken from trees, and trees grow under natural conditions and are often affected by external factors such as climate and land. Their shape, structure, texture and color not only vary from tree species, even the same tree species and the same tree Different parts of the wood, and even different cross-sections when sawn wood is cut, will cause differences. This is also the sensory difference between solid wood flooring and artificial boards. Consumers should view this issue correctly when purchasing floors and do not need to be too harsh on color differences. At the same time, pay attention to the reasonable configuration of color when laying. \x0d\ In addition, consumers should also pay attention to when purchasing wooden floors: 1) Appearance quality and processing accuracy: In addition to visible defects (knots, holes, cracks, paint film appearance, etc.) observed with the naked eye, at the same time When inspecting the overall assembly of the floor, it is appropriate to have a smooth and comfortable feel, no burrs, small seams, and no sense of height; 2) Paint film quality: Mainly from the appearance of the paint film (scratches, bubbles, pinholes, wrinkles, particles) The physical and chemical indicators of the paint film (surface wear resistance, adhesion, hardness) were investigated. \x0d\ It is worth mentioning that: There are currently a number of new products on the market such as double tongue and groove wooden flooring. Although these products cater to the needs of some consumer groups due to their novel design ideas, they make wooden flooring more convenient and convenient. The aesthetics can be continued and improved because it does not require steel nails to fix and is easy to disassemble. However, compared with traditional wooden floors, its practicality and durability are limited due to the insufficient thickness of the surface layer. Its characteristics need to be further observed and verified.
