Floor picking: poor wood equals good floor? !

With the exception of Merbau, most of the solid wood floors currently on the market are made of rare wood species. The precious wood species have good characteristics, of course, as a floor, of course, but experts suggest that the wood is not the more expensive, the better the quality of solid wood flooring. The quality of solid wood flooring is related to the quality of the wood, but the process, the quality of the paving, and the use environment are also important factors. As long as the workmanship, installation, and proper use, poor wood can also make a good floor.

Solid wood flooring prices vary

At present, there are many species of hardwood flooring on the market. There are precious rosewood, teak, balsam, gems, and mid-range black ants, beech, ash, merbau, fiber, Wood, pine wood, etc., the price is also from more than 100 yuan / square meter to more than 1,000 yuan / square meter, of which 200 yuan to 400 yuan / square meter majority. Currently on the market is better to sell Merbau (commonly known as pineapple grid) floor, fiber skin Yurui, Banyan eyes, black ants wood floor, slightly upscale is the teak and balsamic pigeon wood floor, two kinds of flooring about the price of 600 Yuan/square meter is even higher.

Judging from the sources of solid wood, the raw materials of solid wood flooring on the Chinese market are almost all taken from abroad. For example, the merbau is produced in Southeast Asia; the natural teak is produced in Burma and Thailand, and Thailand has already banned the cutting of teak; the balsam that produces very little globally. Pigeonpeas are produced in Brazil; eucalyptus is produced in Russia; disc beans are produced in Africa... Due to the rare raw materials, solid wood floors have been rising in price.

Quality does not depend on the material

There are so many wood materials in the market. Does it mean that the more expensive the material is, the better the quality of the wood is, and the better the quality of the finished flooring? Experts believe that although the price of solid wood flooring is related to the material of wood, it is mainly determined by the scarcity of wood, such as teak, which has a growth cycle of nearly 100 years. The global output of balsam bean is very small and processing is difficult, so it is even more valuable. Many people choose teak or balsamic wood flooring, but in terms of appearance, they seem to be more tasteful, but in fact there is not much difference in the quality of flooring made from slightly cheaper wood.

Although the wood material has an impact on the quality of the flooring, in addition to the wood species, the processing technology, the paving quality, and the use environment are all important factors affecting the quality of the solid wood flooring. Valuable wood only represents the characteristics of the tree species, does not mean that the floor it is made of must be easy to use. The so-called luxury mainly refers to the pattern looks good, the texture is beautiful, loved by everyone; followed by a small amount or a long growth cycle. Even if it is the same type of wood, different companies have different processes, different companies process differently, and the quality of the flooring is different. On the other hand, no matter how bad a piece of wood is, as long as the process is done well, it can be a good floor.

When consumers buy solid wood flooring, they do not have to blindly pursue precious wood. Instead, they must first understand the properties of the wood. Secondly, it must be understood that wood is not deformed at all. Therefore, it is important to choose a company that pays attention to pavement and Late maintenance, but also consider after-sales service.

It is understood that if the wood material hardness is greater, there is a certain degree of compression resistance, easily not be destroyed, but relatively easy to crack deformation. Harder materials have a good foot feel, but you need to be careful in your home life, such as moving a table or moving furniture, or even stepping on your heels.

For several mid-range woods that are sold on the market, the Merbau (Pine) pattern looks good, it feels a little redwood, the material is relatively stable, the processing performance is good, it is not easy to deform and crack, and the price is medium. Fibers made from South America have a medium strength, strong corrosion resistance, and good processing properties, but the disadvantage is that the color difference is large. The dipterocarp produced in Southeast Asia has a moderate hardness, a relatively stable performance, and a relatively small color difference. The black ant wood produced in South America has smooth floors, looks very good taste, and has a certain degree of compressive resistance; the heart and sapwood of South East Asia's Bonanzao wood are slightly different, with better foot feeling but poor hardness.
