Nowadays, wood flooring has become the first choice for many consumers to decorate floor materials. However, some consumers' wooden floors have been used for less than two or three years and will need to be updated. And some consumers' wooden floors are still as fresh as new after seven or eight years. What is the reason for such a big gap? Experts in the flooring industry explained that "three points for paving and seven points for maintenance" is the current industry-recognized principle. On the basis of scientific paving, correct and adequate maintenance of the floor is a key to determining the life of the wooden floor. So, in this midsummer season, how to carry out scientific and perfect maintenance of the wooden floor in the home? To do a good job in the maintenance of wooden floors in the midsummer season, you should avoid the heat and moisture with both hands, and both hands should be hard.
Symptom 1: The floor is exposed to the sun, shrinks away from the seam, and the paint film is blistered and discolored
In the midsummer, the sky is like a blazing sun, and the heat is unbearable. In this case, the most common problem with wooden floors is shrinkage and seam separation. This is because in high temperature conditions, the moisture inside the wood is easy to volatilize, which will cause the volume of the floor to shrink, and the gap between the floor joints will widen, and moreover, it will cause the tongue and mouth to separate and crack. Even turning on the air conditioner will not help. Because the air conditioner is equivalent to a dehumidifier, using the air conditioner to blow the floor for a long time will also dry the floor and cause shrinkage. There is also a summer floor "killer" that cannot be ignored is the hot sun. After the floor near the balcony or window is exposed to the sun, there will often be seams, the paint film will bubble, change color, or even detach.
Strategies to "Relieve the Heat" on the Floor
There are three main points that should be paid attention to in the summer wooden floor "heat escape" method: First, if the wooden floor is installed in the home, someone must move in. If it is impossible to move in right away, the room must be ventilated, ventilated, and dissipated frequently; second, The air conditioner in the home should not be blown against the floor as much as possible. If the room feels dry, it can be properly humidified; finally, the owner should draw the curtains when going out, so that the sun should not directly hit the floor.
Symptom 2: The wooden floor is damp, swells, deforms, and arches
The weather in July and August is a typical rainy season, with thunderstorms coming from time to time. In such humid weather, the wooden floor is very easy to swell, deform, and buckle. Experts in the industry pointed out that in order to let the wooden floor survive this humid rainy season, it is necessary not only to do a good job of waterproofing and moisture-proof treatment in advance when paving, but also to take more care in the week to eradicate the problem of dampness of the wooden floor.
Strategies for floor "moisture-proof"
To avoid expansion, deformation, and arching of the wooden floor in the humid air of the rainy season, consumers must first check the first pass when buying the floor. Experts in the industry pointed out that the scientific design of the material and structure of high-quality wooden floors can effectively prevent the expansion and deformation of the floor caused by wet weather. For example, for the three-layer solid wood floor, the top layer is made of hard wood, which is very conducive to abrasion resistance; the middle and bottom layers are made of soft wood with soft texture and strong water absorption. Because they can absorb moisture well, these softwoods greatly reduce the burden of the surface wood, so that the surface of the wooden floor can maintain a hard, stable and beautiful original shape in the rainy season.
When doing moisture-proof maintenance on wooden floors, in addition to simply closing windows in time and frequent ventilation, there are two more professional methods: one, more waxing care. It should be waxed once half a year or once a year, so that the wood floor can avoid the invasion of moisture during the rainy season, so as to achieve the purpose of extending the life. In addition, if the home is laid with solid wood flooring, you can also consider applying a layer of transparent varnish on the surface, but the process of applying the varnish is extremely demanding. If the construction team is not detailed enough, it may have the opposite effect. Second, a moisture-proof film is added on the surface. Nowadays, there is a special moisture-proof film on the surface of wooden floors on the market. This kind of moisture-proof film dedicated to wooden floors can be applied to the surface of wooden floors to prevent the surface of wooden floors from getting damp. In addition, you should also be careful not to let moisture penetrate into the wooden floor when you are caring for the wooden floor. For example, the mop should be wringed dry when scrubbing the floor. When mold stains are found on the surface of the wooden floor, you can mix it with soft bleach at a dilution ratio of 1:3 and wipe it with a rag.
