What should I pay attention to when I want to buy flooring for home decoration

First, pay attention to the quality of the selected wood:

When selecting, pay attention to whether there are defects such as insect eyes, cracks, decay, blue stains, and dead joints on the surface of the wood;

1. Specifications.

The first thing to look at when buying floor tiles for the living room is the specifications. There are many specifications of floor tiles, such as *80 and so on. Generally speaking, it is recommended to choose 60*60 floor tiles for an area of less than 30 square meters, and 80*80 for an area of more than 30 square meters.

The size of the specification should match the size of the living room, and a single floor tile that is too large or too small will give people a sense of incongruity.

Second, the material. When buying floor tiles for the living room, the second thing to look at is the material. Now the floor tiles can be divided into many kinds according to the material, such as full-body bricks, crystal tiles, full glaze, vitrified tiles, etc., the floor tiles of these materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice should be made according to the style of living room decoration and the ideas of the occupants. The key point here is that to check the material of the floor tiles is not only to look at the surface of the bricks, but also to see the side and bottom surface of the bricks, because although the surface of some floor tiles is very good, the glaze is very thin from the side and easy to break, and the texture of the bottom surface is very shallow and will not be very firm when pasted to the ground, etc.

3. Characteristics. The last thing to look at when buying floor tiles for the living room is the characteristics. Since the purchased floor tiles are to be used for the decoration of the living room, considering that the occupants walk around the living room very frequently, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of floor tiles that are relatively hard, not easy to wear and tear, and easy to clean. In addition, according to the specific orientation of the living room, to choose the brightness of the floor tiles in the living room, if the living room is facing the sun and the lighting is better, it is recommended to choose matte tiles or soft light turns; If the living room is facing shade and the lighting is not very good, you can choose bright bricks.

How about the market of flooring, what to pay attention to when choosing flooring.

1. Floor specifications.

In terms of the stability of the plank, the smaller the size of the floor, the better the resistance to deformation, so it is necessary to choose a shorter, narrower solid wood floor, and minimize the bending, twisting, scooping, shrinking, arching and other phenomena of the solid wood floor. Flooring experts believe that the short one is better than the long one; The narrow one is better than the wide, and it is cheap. But now the market is popular wide plate, the wide plate is more beautiful than the narrow plate, generous, the texture is relaxed, the pattern is complete, but the qualified wide plate must go through strict material selection and quality acceptance.

In general, wide floors should have deformation-resistant grooves on the back, and the grooves should be up to one-third of the thickness of the floor. If it is used for floor heating, it should be thin but not thick, generally 8-12mm thick.

2. Floor moisture content.

The moisture content of wooden floors is crucial. The moisture content of the purchased flooring must be equal to the local equilibrium moisture content. When buying a floor, be sure to measure the moisture content, if you don't have a moisture content tester, don't buy its board.

The method of balancing the moisture content determination is very simple, first determine the moisture content of the purchased varieties in the exhibition hall, and then open the box to test the moisture content of the purchased varieties of wood flooring, if the moisture content of the two is only +1%--2%, it is a qualified product.

3. Floor material.

Observe with your eyes whether the floor is of the same material, and whether the board surface has material defects such as cracking, decay, peeling, dead joints, insect eyes, and blue staining. Usually there is no need to be too strict about color differences, joints, textures, etc., which are the natural properties of wood. It is the color difference and the natural texture that changes that show the natural color of the solid wood floor, which is the fashion pursued by the current international home decoration.

4. Machining accuracy.

Generally, after unpacking the wooden floor, you can take out about 10 pieces of freehand assembly, touch it by hand, see whether its processing quality accuracy, finish, whether it is smooth and smooth, and whether the tenon and groove fit, installation gap, denaturation resistance groove and other assemblies are tightly fitted. Observe the tongue and groove occlusion, assembly gap, and height difference between adjacent plates.

5. Floor after-sales.

There are many wood flooring manufacturers on the market, the quality is uneven, it is recommended to choose a good brand of wood flooring, these brand manufacturers will provide perfect after-sales service, and there is a certain warranty period. It can save a lot of worry.

Note 1: Whether the brand is famous and whether the reputation is good, it is best to choose China's top ten brand flooring, such as Yuangu flooring. This is mainly the brand development history and strength, user evaluation, professional evaluation, etc., generally good solid wood flooring brand in terms of influence must be relatively large, user reputation will be very good, the development history of at least several decades.

Note 2: Check the company's product testing certificates, including E0 and E1 standards, China Environmental Labeling Product Certification, F4 Star, FSC Certification, etc.

Note 3: Look at the material, mainly to see what kind of wood is used for the floor, especially to choose high-grade solid wood flooring, requiring the use of oak bark (that is, cork oak), the bark is renewable, and the cork oak oak planted industrially on the Mediterranean coast can generally be picked once every 7-9 years. At the same time, it can be used as a wine or champagne cork, this material is still non-toxic and harmless and edible after long-term contact with wine, which shows that its environmental performance is extraordinary.

Note 4: Check the bending strength of the board surface, the method is to close the two diagonal lines of the wooden floor to see whether there are cracks on the curved surface, and if there are no cracks, it is qualified. It is also possible to check the strength of the glue and put small pieces of floor in boiling blisters, but this is usually difficult to do.

Note 5: Understand and compare the functions of the floor, a good cork floor has more than ten natural advantages such as moisture-proof, anti-slip, wear-resistant, antistatic, sound absorption, flame retardant, heat preservation, soft elasticity, etc., forming the most solid functional system of environmentally friendly and healthy flooring.

The first is quality, it is best to see a few more, and then the price is not to be cheated, it is best to buy brand goods, and the quality is guaranteed.

There are several kinds of solid wood flooring, the first is all solid wood, that is, the whole board, the second is that the three-layer solid wood is made of three-layer board glue, the third is multi-layer solid wood, which is made of many layers of solid wood glued (similar to the nine-centimeter board) The first is the best, but it needs to be maintained and waxed regularly Because it does not use glue, it is the most environmentally friendly The rest has several advantages: 1. It is not easy to deform Especially multi-layer solid wood can be boiled in water Another is **cheap No matter what floor has a wear-resistant revolution This is an important basis for whether the reference floor is wear-resistant, and the second is the thickness, the thicker the service life.
