Bamboo floor cork flooring purchase and maintenance strategy

Bamboo flooring

Bamboo flooring is a floor decoration material that is made of medium and high-grade bamboo, processed through strict selection of materials, materials, bleaching, vulcanization, dehydration, insect control, anti-corrosion, etc., and then subjected to high-temperature, high-pressure thermosetting gluing.

Bamboo flooring is non-toxic, firm and stable, no glue, no deformation. After the special harmless treatment of sugar, fat, amyloplast, protein and other bamboo materials, it has a strong anti-insect function. The six sides of the floor are sealed with high-quality imported wear-resistant paint, which is flame retardant, wear-resistant and mildew resistant. The surface of the floor is smooth and soft, with good geometric dimensions and stable quality.

Bamboo floor purchase:

When purchasing bamboo flooring, consumers must first check whether the relevant information is complete, including the manufacturer, registered trademark, product grade, inspection report, instructions for use and after-sales service, etc. The information is complete to indicate that the manufacturer is a formal enterprise with a certain scale.

Secondly, it depends on the structure. Due to different processes, the bamboo floor structure is mainly divided into three types: flat, vertical and vertical and horizontal. The flat is a three-layer structure, the vertical is a single-layer structure, and the vertical and horizontal panels and the bottom plate are longitudinal. The middle layer is horizontal.

In addition, depending on the material, the consumer can use the handcuffs. If it is lighter in the hand, it means that it is processed by tender bamboo; if the pattern is unclear and not bright, it means that it is processed by non-fresh bamboo, these bamboos are stacked. It took too long to process in time. Then look at the overall quality, whether the uniformity, smoothness, smoothness, presence or absence of bubbles and texture is delicate and soft, to judge the advantages and disadvantages of the surface coating; arbitrarily extract 4-5 bamboo flooring, place the splicing groove on the flat surface, whether it is seamed, Whether the surface is flat or not by hand; there is also the bonding strength. Since the bamboo flooring is made of a number of bamboo sheets, whether the glue is tight or not can be used to see if there is delamination between the layers, and a piece can be placed. The bamboo floor is cooked in boiling water for 10 minutes. If there is no opening phenomenon, the bonding strength is high.

Bamboo floor maintenance:

1. Maintain a ventilated and dry environment

Frequently keeping indoor ventilation, the chemical in the floor can be volatilized as much as possible, discharged to the outside, and the indoor humid air can be exchanged with the outdoor. Especially in the case of no one to live and maintain for a long time, indoor ventilation and ventilation is more important. It is common practice to open windows or doors frequently to convect air, or to use air conditioning systems and ventilation systems to create a clean, dry environment.

2, avoid sun exposure and rain

Some houses have sunlight or rain that can enter the indoor area directly from the window, which will cause damage to the bamboo floor. Sunlight accelerates the aging of paint and glue and can cause dry shrinkage and cracking of the floor. After the rainwater is wet, the bamboo absorbs moisture and causes expansion and deformation, and the floor will be mildewed. Therefore, special attention should be paid to daily use.

3, to avoid damage to the floor surface

The paint surface of the bamboo floor is not only the decorative layer of the floor but also the protective layer of the floor. Therefore, the impact of the hard object, the scratch of the sharp object, the friction of the metal, etc., and the chemical cannot be stored indoors. In addition, indoor furniture should be handled with care when moving, and the feet of the furniture should be padded with rubber skin. In public places, carpets should be laid on the main passages.

4, the correct cleaning care

During daily use, the floor should be cleaned regularly to keep the floor clean. When cleaning, first clean the dust and debris with a clean broom, then wipe it with a rag that wrings out the water. If the area is too large, clean the cloth mop, then hang it up and drip the water droplets. Drag the ground. Do not wash with water, or use a wet rag or mop. If water is spilled on the ground, it should be dried immediately with a dry cloth.

If conditions permit, a layer of floor wax can be applied at intervals to enhance the protection of the floor. If the paint surface is damaged, you can use the ordinary varnish to make up or ask the manufacturer to repair it.

Cork flooring

Cork flooring is known as "the pyramid of the floor consumption." Cork is an oak tree growing on the Mediterranean coast and in the Qinling region of China. The raw material of cork products is the bark of oak trees. Compared with solid wood flooring, it is more environmentally friendly, soundproof, and has better moisture resistance. It brings excellent feet. sense. The softwood floor is soft, quiet, comfortable and wearable. It can provide great cushioning for the accidental fall of the elderly and children. Its unique sound absorption and insulation properties are also very suitable for bedrooms, conference rooms, libraries, recordings. Shelters and other places.

Choose cork flooring according to local conditions:

Cork flooring is divided into five categories as follows:

The first category: the surface of the cork floor without any cover, this product is the earliest.

The second category: coating on the surface of cork flooring. That is, the surface of the cemented cork is coated with UV varnish or paint or photosensitive varnish PVA. According to the different types of paint, it can be divided into three types, namely, high light, matt and flat light. This is the technology of the 1990s. These products require a relatively high surface for the cork flooring, that is, the softwood used is relatively pure.

The third category: PVC veneer, that is, the surface of the cork floor covered with PVC veneer, the structure is usually four layers: the surface layer is made of PVC veneer, the thickness is 0.45mm; the second layer is the natural cork decoration layer, the thickness is 0.8mm The third layer is a cemented cork layer with a thickness of 1.8mm; the bottom layer is a stress balance and waterproof PVC layer. This layer is very important. If there is no such layer, the PVC surface will shrink and shrink when the material is thermoset during production. Warps the entire floor. This type of flooring is currently favored by consumers in Beijing and Shanghai.

The fourth category; PVC veneer, thickness 0.45mm; the second layer is natural thin wood, the thickness is 0.45mm; the third layer is cemented cork, the thickness is about 2mm; the bottom layer is the same as the third type of PVC board It has good water resistance and balances the stress on the board surface. Its thickness is about 0.2mm.

The fifth category: plastic cork flooring, resin bonded cork flooring, rubber cork flooring.

1. The first type of cork flooring: the cork layer is slightly thicker and the texture is pure. The surface layer is only 0.1 to 0.2 thick. The thin, soft and high-strength wear-resistant layer does not affect the performance of the cork. Its wear-resistant surface layer The material is non-toxic, tasteless, odorless and durable. It can be pre-painted in the factory. The back of the cork is coated with pressure sensitive adhesive and coated with release paper. It is extremely convenient for users to use. It can be directly pasted to clean and dry as long as the release paper is removed. On the concrete floor. This type of floor user can design and paste it by himself, which is very convenient. In addition, the lacquer surface can also be painted as a whole after the cork floor is paved. This process is widely used in Australia and New Zealand. If you can change shoes in the bedroom, you will not bring sand into it. Generally, the life of 10-15 years is no problem.

2. For shops, corridors, and places where traffic is difficult to avoid sand, the second and third types of flooring should be used. The surface layer has a thick flexible wear layer. After the sand is pressed into the wear layer, the sand will not slide. When the foot leaves, the sand will be ejected without scratching the wear surface. This is its advantage; but the surface is non-toxic. PVC, pure PVC resin can not be used as wear-resistant protective layer, it is brittle and easy to age, so plasticizer, heat stabilizer, light stabilizer, anti-blocking agent, antistatic agent, etc. should be added to the formulation, although The floor formulation strictly requires that these additives be non-toxic, but at least the plasticizer is odorous, easily migrates to the surface of the PVC, and is easily leached by the solvent, and may accelerate the aging of the product, so it is not suitable for the bedroom. At the same time, the two types of glued cork layers have been over-compressed, so the functions of heat insulation, sound reduction, shock absorption and the like are deteriorated. At present, some domestic consumers admire foreign products, blindly choose high-priced foreign second- and third-class products, and have doubts about the anti-storage of cheap domestic first-class products. From a scientific point of view, the life of a typical PU coating is about 15 years. The coating should be renewed when the first coating has a life of more than 10 years. The aging life of PVC plastic is not as good as that of PU resin. After aging, there will be hydrochloric acid and chlorine. Ion contamination, therefore, the first type of floor should be preferred for the bedroom floor.

3, using rubber cork as the floor, its elasticity, vibration absorption, sound absorption, sound insulation and other properties are also very good, but usually rubber has a taste, special high-grade rubber is not economical, and with PU or PUA high wear-resistant coating for protection The layers are both balanced in performance and price, as they can be used for indoor and indoor sports.

4. The bottom layer of cemented cork or rubber cork for wood flooring not only utilizes the elasticity, heat insulation, sound insulation and noise reduction performance of cork, but also builds a reliable moisture-proof layer for the wooden floor, which simplifies the paving of the wooden floor. Process. However, the cork material used must be water and mold resistant.

5. The density of softwood flooring products is 400-450kg/m3, 450-500kg/m3 is more than 500kg/m3, and the common intermediate is 450-500kg/m3. If there is no heavy object indoors, the density should be as small as possible. It has better elasticity and properties of heat preservation, sound absorption, sound insulation and vibration absorption.

Cork floor maintenance:

1. The maintenance of cork flooring is easier than other wooden flooring. During use, it is best to avoid bringing sand into the room. Some sand particles are brought in and the floor is not worn. Because the sand is pressed into the elastic layer under the foot, it will be ejected when the footsteps leave. Of course, it should be reminded here that it is not advisable to bring in too much sand, which will still cause flow wear. Therefore, the sand that is brought into the room should be removed in time. Generally, there is no need to equip the vacuum cleaner, and there is no need to worry about the warpage, mildew, etc. phenomenon.

2. If there is wear and tear in some places after three or five years of use, it can be partially compensated, that is, the coating is re-applied at the local part. The method is very simple, and the sand is gently sanded at the worn place to remove the scale on the surface. Then wipe it off with a soft dry cloth, recoat the coating, or apply a polyester film to the area.

3. For the surface painted cork flooring, the maintenance is the same as that of the solid wood floor. Generally, the floor wax can be used once every six months. Cork flooring with a resin-resistant layer on the surface is as simple as a composite floor.
