The wood materials for solid wood flooring are mainly teak, mahogany, walnut, ash, mahogany, Northeastern elm, meranti, camphor, basswood, birch, colored wood, beech, cherry wood, Cypress, yew, red pine, pineapple, walnut catalpa, oak wood, yellow wood lotus, neem, red toon, jujube and so on.
On the question of which kind of wood is good for solid wood flooring, there is no absolute good or bad wood. All kinds of wood have their own characteristics. Consumers When choosing, we can choose the solid wood floor that suits your home life based on the advantages of each wood.
1. Beech wood. The material of beech wood is still relatively hard, with clear and beautiful texture and good density. It does not have any lumps like other woods. This kind of beech wood can be left unpainted, so that it can maintain its original wood color. And wood grain, very beautiful and beautiful. The wood has a uniform texture and soft, smooth tones. Heavier than most hardwoods, it cracks easily when kiln dried and processed.
2. Cherry wood. Burmese cherry wood is the best. The cherry wood produced there has straight texture and uniform color. However, the disadvantage is that the color is too reddish, so it has certain limitations.
3. Gamba bean. Ganbadou solid wood is produced in more places, so the materials are also uneven, with certain gaps. There are no requirements for workmanship, but it is best to apply a layer of crystal floor paint or semi-matte floor paint when using it.
4. Oak. Oak is a genus of Quercus arborescens, which belongs to the beech family. The heart of the tree is yellow-brown to red-brown, with obvious growth rings, slightly wavy, heavy and hard. It is distributed from Jilin in the north, Liaoning to Hainan and Yunnan in the south, but high-quality wood is not always available. It is rare, and high-quality oak still needs to be imported from abroad.
5. Fraxinus mandshurica. Fraxinus mandshurica is mainly produced in Northeast China, North China and other places. It is yellow-white (sapwood) or brownish-yellow (heartwood). The annual rings are obvious but uneven, the wood structure is thick, the grain is straight, the pattern is beautiful, shiny and hard. Manchurian ash has the characteristics of elasticity, good toughness, wear resistance and moisture resistance. But it is difficult to dry and easy to warp. Processability is good, but tearing should be prevented. The cut surface is smooth and the paint has good viscosity properties.
6. Oak. Commonly known as oak wood. Heavy, hard, slow-growing, with clearly differentiated heartwood and sapwood. The texture is straight or oblique, has strong water and corrosion resistance, and is difficult to process. However, the cut surface is smooth, wear-resistant, requires high bonding, and has good paint coloring and finishing properties. Domestic furniture manufacturers mostly use oak wood as raw material. Disadvantages of oak: 1) Slow growth, long growth cycle (hundreds of years), and few high-quality tree species. 2) The bonding requirements are very high and it is easy to crack at the joints. 3) The processing is difficult and there are many processing defects.
7. Walnut. Juglans is one of the better types of wood, mainly produced in North America and Europe. Domestic walnut wood is lighter in color. Black walnut is light dark brown with purple color, and the chord section has a beautiful large parabolic pattern (big mountain pattern). Black walnut is very expensive, and veneer is usually used to make furniture, and solid wood is rarely used.
8. Cherry wood. Imported cherry wood is mainly produced in Europe and North America. The wood is light brown and has an elegant texture. The chord section has a medium parabolic pattern with small circles in between. Cherry wood is also a high-grade wood, and veneer is usually used to make furniture, and solid wood is rarely used.
9. Birch. The growth rings of birch are slightly obvious, the texture is straight and obvious, the material structure is delicate, soft and smooth, and the texture is soft or moderate. Birch is very elastic, easy to crack and warp when dry, and is not wear-resistant. It has good processing performance, smooth cut surface, and good painting and gluing properties. Often used for carved parts, but less commonly used now. The easy-to-divide feature is multiple "water lines" (black lines). Birch is a mid-range wood, and both solid wood and veneer are common. Produced in Northeast China and North China, the wood is fine, white and slightly yellow, and the fibers have poor shear resistance and are prone to "stubble breakage". There are many patterns on its roots and nodes. The ancients often used it to make door cores and other decorations. Its bark is flexible and beautiful. Pu people are very sentimental about this and often inlaid scabbards on the curved back and other places. However, its wood is juicy and often deforms after it is matured, so it is rare to see tables and chairs made entirely of birch wood.
10. Pine wood.
Pine is a coniferous plant (common coniferous plants include pine, fir, and cypress). It has a pine aroma, a light yellow color, many boils, is easy to dry, has little deformation, has medium mechanical strength, and responds quickly to atmospheric temperature. It swells easily and is extremely difficult to dry naturally, so it requires manual processing, such as drying, degreasing to remove organic compounds, bleaching to unify the tree color, and neutralizing the tree properties to make it less likely to deform.
11. Camphor wood. It is found in all provinces south of the Yangtze River in my country, and is abundant in Fujian, Taiwan. The tree diameter is larger, the wood is wider, the pattern is beautiful, and especially it has a strong fragrance, which can keep insects away. Our country's camphor wood boxes are famous both at home and abroad, including suitcases, lying boxes (court clothes boxes), top boxes and other varieties. Only tables and chairs are mostly in the Beijing category. In the old wood industry, camphor wood is divided into several types according to its shape, such as red camphor, tiger bark camphor, sassafras, rosewood camphor, watercress camphor, white camphor, ship board camphor, etc.
