When the air is humid, is it better to use laminate or solid wood flooring?

It is recommended to use laminate flooring, the solid wood floor itself is afraid of water, in humid areas, the aging of solid wood flooring is faster, and once it encounters the solid wood floor of poor quality, the water mist condensed by the humid air on the floor has a great impact on the paint of the floor, but the laminate floor itself is the same as high temperature and high pressure, and the resistance in this regard is much stronger, and because of the price difference between laminate flooring and solid wood flooring, in the case of your same budget, you can choose a better laminate flooring, in fact, Nowadays, many laminate flooring is no worse than solid wood in terms of color and visual effect. A little suggestion of your own, you can consider it.

If the humidity in the air is greater than 80%, I recommend you to use laminate flooring, if you like the natural nature of solid wood, you can use multi-layer solid wood. If you want to install hardwood flooring, you can do it, but you have to choose the dry weather season to install it. The second is to choose a good material, to use wood with good stability, such as:

Eggplant, Burmese teak, southwest birch, longan, disc bean. The third is to do a good job of moisture-proof treatment when installing, and the moisture-proof film must be put away. Fourth, when paving, the floor should be paved looser, and when choosing a brand, you should choose a professional solid wood floor manufacturer.

According to the above points, it is generally not possible to pave solid wood flooring.

The fortified ones are better. Solid wood has high requirements for the environment and maintenance.

The weather in the south is humid, what to use the floor.

Laminate flooring and laminate flooring can be, but you can't use the kind of poor solid wood flooring, otherwise it will be deformed after absorbing water, cracking with reinforced composite, or with solid wood composite, both of which are not easy to be deformed by moisture. If it's in Hainan, it's better not to use the floor, mold grows everywhere here in winter, and I think even the best floor will be molded. Flooring is a building material used for the surface layer of the floor or floor of a house, and is made of wood or other materials.

Flooring is used as a building material, and building materials can be divided into structural materials, decorative materials, and some special materials. Chinese style, European style and other styles will be used, and the use is becoming more and more widespreadSolid wood flooring is a ground decoration material formed after wood is dried. It has the characteristics of natural pattern, comfortable foot feeling and safe use, and is an ideal material for floor decoration in bedrooms, living rooms, and study rooms.

The decorative style of solid wood is back to the basics, the texture is natural, and the solid wood floor is more precious in today's declining forest coverage rate and vigorously advocating environmental protection. The weakness of solid wood flooring lies in its poor durability against moisture and sunlight

The side of your house is more humid, and the laminate floor is stronger than the wooden floor, but it is better not to use the floor, and it is better to use floor tiles to carry it, because no matter how good the floor is, it is easy to deform it.

If the inside of the home is damp, it is best not to have wooden floors, because wooden floors. In a humid environment, it will be bent and deformed, so when laying floors in the house, it is best to lay terrazzo floors or marble floors or tiles, which are better. It can play the role of Gus moisture-proof.

I think if it is very humid, it is not recommended to lay the floor, because the floor or whether it is compressed floor or wheel wood, there will be thermal expansion and cold contraction, and then it will be deformed when wet. So let's lay the floor tiles.

If it is damp, then you can only use the tile floor, the wooden floor is not usable, only the tile floor is not afraid of moisture.

My house is noisy here, what is the floor that is more suitable for this, you can choose the kind of icon floor, time floor, can prevent moisture, and it will not be different.

September 30, 2021 1. Considering the humid weather in the south, it is recommended to use plastic flooring to meet the requirements of home decoration in pursuit of health, environmental protection and quality life. (1 day ago).

If it is more humid, it is best to carry out waterproof and moisture-proof treatment before decoration, and when choosing a floor, give priority to floor tiles and do not use wooden floors.

It is recommended to lay floor tiles in damp places, and wooden floors will be deformed in a humid environment Common floor tiles are: vitrified tiles, polished tiles, matte tiles, glazed tiles, printed bricks, non-slip tiles, and special acid-proof floor tiles. Buying floor tiles should be chosen like this:

First, to check whether the color of the tile is pure. This trick is very simple, mainly to observe whether the color of the back of the tile is.

Then don't stick to the wooden floor, use the ceramic one, it won't have much impact.

It is recommended that you choose the icon flooring, which is a multi-layer composite structure, with two adjacent layers of wood fibers crisscrossing each other vertically, which is only suitable for wet southern areas and dry places. It's also good in terms of quality!

1. Drying of sports wood floors.

In the production process of solid wood sports wood flooring, a professional drying process must be carried out. This art is very important. When the sports wood floor leaves the factory, the moisture content of the sports wood floor should be balanced. How much exactly? It should be adapted to the climate and environment where the stadium is located.

2. Install moisture-proof measures.

Before the installation of sports wood flooring, it is necessary to level the pavement floor of the stadium and do a good job of dehumidification; The sports wood floor installation system should be equipped with moisture-proof membranes, ventilation holes and other moisture-proof accessories; Expansion joints should also be reserved during the installation of sports wood flooring, which can prevent dampness and bulging of sports wood flooring.

3. The humidity in the gymnasium is guaranteed to be between 35% and 50%.

Good external conditions are the basis for the maintenance of sports wood flooring, especially the environment in the gymnasium, and it is best to keep the humidity in the gymnasium between 35%-50%. If the outside air is dry due to the influence of the northern monsoon during the dry winter season, the air humidity in the building will be reduced, so it is necessary to keep the museum closed and reduce air ventilation and convection.

1. Choose moisture-proof flooring.

Moisture resistance is the most important technical indicator of sports wood flooring. The floor with poor moisture-proof performance will be damaged by the "steaming" of geothermal heat for a long time, once moisture enters, the edge of the floor will be warped. The high-quality floor is made of high-density substrate, which has excellent moisture-proof performance and the expansion rate of water absorption thickness is much smaller than the national standard.

In addition, the special wear-resistant layer, decorative paper and balance layer can well "seal" the substrate and ensure the overall moisture-proof performance of the floor.

2. Install moisture-proof correctly.

The quality of sports wood flooring installation determines 70% of the quality of the flooring. The unsatisfactory use of the floor is largely caused by the inadequate floor pavement, and the problem of floor paving has become a stubborn disease that restricts the use of the floor. The installation engineer of the sports wood floor must carry out four different aspects of the measurement preparation, which can enhance the accuracy and precision for the later construction, and can effectively detect the specific degree of the five major problems of the ground, such as "sand, tide, concave, convex and crack".

In addition, the staff should pay special attention to the flatness of the ground, if the ground is guaranteed to be flat, there is no arch under the floor; If the floor is not wet, the floor will not swell, and these must be carefully inspected.

3. Control indoor humidity.

In the rainy season, the temperature and humidity of the air change, the floor is easy to expand or contract, and controlling the humidity in the room is the most scientific and effective way to prevent the deformation and arching of the solid wooden floor. Industry insiders suggest that the floor is moisture-proof, and the floor can be mopped with a non-dripping mop to directly humidify the floor, or the window can be closed and humidified with a humidifier. It can also be in the afternoon or evening, when the climate is relatively dry, open the window to adjust the indoor air and make the room intermittently ventilated.

In fact, no matter what type of floor has a characteristic, that is, it is easy to crack and arch and deform when it is damp or soaked in water, and once this happens, the service life of the wooden floor will be greatly shortened. Therefore, wood flooring needs to pay special attention to waterproof and moisture-proof in the purchase, installation and future maintenance. The following king coconut board will take you to understand how to buy flooring.

1. Check the surface for cracks.

Cracks in the floor not only affect the appearance of the paving, but also in the wet season, moisture and moisture will seep into the inside of the floor along the cracks, causing the floor to regain moisture.

During the inspection, you need to carefully observe the surface of the floor and touch it with your hands to feel if it will scratch your hands.

2. Check the thickness of the floor.

The thickness of the floor in line with the national standard is generally 8mm, if the thickness of the floor is lower than this standard, the floor is not strong enough, easy to break, and the waterproof and moisture-proof performance is poor, and the floor is usually lower than 8mm for inferior laminate flooring (except for imported and high-end).

3. Check whether there are wormholes.

Wormholes are common in many wooden floors. If the area of the wormhole is large, it will affect the moisture-proof performance of the floor, but the small diameter and evenly distributed wormhole can be used as a kind of texture decoration for the wooden floor. When purchasing, it is necessary to check the area and distribution of wormholes in the floor, which usually appears in pure solid wood flooring or multi-layer three-layer wood flooring.

4. Knock on the surface to check the internal decay.

The raw material of the floor is wood, and some floors will rot due to improper storage and other reasons. Decay is divided into internal decay and external decay. The rotten floor is easy to deform, mildew, and poor waterproofing after being paved.

If the sound is dull and the weight is light, it means that the floor may have internal decay.

5. Test its water absorption with clean water.

The density of the substrate of high-quality wood flooring is very high, and it is not easy to absorb water and return moisture. You can pour water on the substrate of the floor, and if it floats on the substrate like dewdrops, it is of good quality. But if you absorb it when you see water, you should buy it with caution.

Before confirming which kind of flooring has better moisture resistance, let's first understand the advantages and disadvantages of the more popular floors on the market: solid wood flooring, composite flooring and PVC plastic flooring

1.Solid wood flooring: the advantages are durability, good foot feeling, warm in winter and cool in summer, beautiful and natural; The disadvantage is that it is difficult to maintain, **high, afraid of water and moisture.

2.Composite flooring: the advantages are anti-stepping and compression-resistant, rich colors, suitable for geothermal heating, easy installation, simple maintenance, cheap, and the disadvantages are poor comfort, poor decorative effect, and not enough environmental protection.

Plastic flooring: the advantages are environmental protection, formaldehyde-free, waterproof and moisture-proof, wear-resistant and flame-retardant, light weight, and cost-effective; The disadvantage is that it has not become popular in China, and it is difficult to see SPC flooring stores on the market, and many people do not know much about this kind of flooring.

Based on the above, the most popular flooring with better moisture-proof properties on the market is PVC plastic flooring.

In addition to how to prevent moisture from the floor and the quality of its own products, installation is also very important, correct installation can effectively reduce the problem of the floor, but also prevent the floor from arching due to moisture.

Multi-layer parquet and laminate flooring are more moisture-resistant.

Multi-layer solid wood parquet is made of staggered lamination of boards of different tree species, which overcomes the shortcomings of wet expansion and dry contraction of solid wood flooring to a certain extent, has good dimensional stability, and has better waterproof and moisture-proof performance than ordinary solid wood flooring.

Laminate flooring is generally composed of four layers of materials, namely wear-resistant layer, decorative layer, high-density substrate layer, and balance layer. Laminate flooring is hot-pressed and strengthened to overcome the weakness of dry shrinkage and wet expansion of solid wood flooring, and has excellent moisture-proof performance.

The flooring with good moisture-proof effect on the market includes solid wood parquet, solid wood floor heating flooring, etc., which should be selected according to the needs of use.

Here are the pros and cons of both types of flooring:

Parquet.

Advantages: stable quality, not easy to deform, good waterproof and moisture-proof effect, good environmental protection effect, simple installation, strong wear-resistant effect.

Disadvantages: poor touch, general corrosion resistance.

Solid wood underfloor heating:

Advantages: strong heat insulation, good waterproof and moisture-proof effect, good environmental protection effect, easy to clean, good corrosion resistance.

Disadvantages: **Slightly expensive, less suits.

Solid wood flooring and laminate flooring are currently the two types of flooring with more choices for ground decoration, but Xiao Coconut believes that the two can not be fully defined as which is better, after all, everyone's starting point and demand point are different, solid wood flooring and laminate flooring have their own advantages and disadvantages and characteristics, and the following Xiao Coconut will explain the difference between the two.

1. The material is different

The raw material of solid wood flooring is natural solid wood, which has not undergone any additional processing, which retains the texture and texture of the original wood, and feels comfortable to step on, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Laminate flooring is a kind of composite flooring, which is generally composed of four layers of materials, namely wear-resistant layer, decorative layer, high-density substrate layer, and balanced (moisture-proof) layer, which is very stable in nature and is bonded with a certain amount of glue in the production process.

2. Environmental protection is different

Now home decoration is green and environmentally friendly, and solid wood flooring has an absolute advantage in environmental protection. Solid wood flooring is made of natural materials, no additives and no pollution, which can provide a comfortable and healthy environment for home decoration.

The laminate flooring uses more glue in the production process, so the formaldehyde content is more than that of solid wood flooring, and the laminate flooring produced by regular manufacturers is in line with national standards and can be used with confidence. 3. Different characteristics.

The decoration effect of solid wood flooring is very good, and the foot feeling is comfortable, but it has the disadvantages of dry shrinkage and wet swelling, and it is easy to deform and crack when soaked in water.

The laminate flooring process is mature, wear-resistant and durable, with certain moisture-proof performance, and the laminate flooring structure is stable and not easy to deform.

4. The floor is different.

Hardwood flooring is made of natural logs, so hardwood flooring** is more expensive.

The laminate flooring is very cost-effective, with a long service life, ranging from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan per square meter, for families with limited economic budget, laminate flooring is a good choice.

5. The installation method is different.

One of the differences between solid wood flooring and laminate flooring is the different installation method, and the installation of laminate flooring only needs to level the ground and lay a moisture-proof mat for quick installation.

The installation process of solid wood floor is more demanding, generally need to play keel, solid wood floor commonly used installation methods are: keel laying method, suspension laying method, paste laying method, plywood laying method.

To sum up, solid wood flooring and laminate flooring in the end which is good or depends on personal needs and choices, for the above points of comparison I believe that everyone has a scale in their hearts, if you pursue environmental protection, the pursuit of floor foot comfort, then Xiaoye recommends that you choose solid wood flooring, if you have a limited budget, the pursuit of high cost performance, then laminate flooring is definitely the best choice.
