Solid wood or composite wood?

Solid wood or composite wood? This depends on the specific situation. The following will introduce you in 5 situations, whether it is solid wood or composite wood!

1. Price comparison Solid wood composite flooring is much cheaper than pure solid wood flooring in terms of price. Solid wood composite flooring does not have as high requirements for wood as pure solid wood flooring, and can make the texture and texture of pure solid wood flooring.

Solid wood flooring is made of pure natural wood, so the price is relatively high. Generally, the price of solid wood flooring is more than 200 yuan per square meter. Therefore, if you want to use solid wood flooring for home decoration, you should budget carefully at the end to avoid overspending of the home decoration budget. .

2. Compared with environmental protection, glue must be used in the production of solid wood composite flooring. Unlike traditional solid wood flooring, there is basically nothing except the wood itself. Although the environmental protection quality of the glue is very high, and the formaldehyde content is almost negligible, it exists after all.

Solid wood flooring is made of natural materials, does not contain formaldehyde, and will not cause any harm or side effects to the human body. It is a truly green and environmentally friendly decoration material, which is also an important reason for most owners to buy solid wood flooring. You must know that if you don’t pay attention to formaldehyde in interior decoration, it will exceed the standard. Formaldehyde is very harmful to the human body. If the indoors are paved with inferior materials, the cleanliness of the indoor air quality will be greatly reduced, which will directly cause harm to the human body.

3. The difference between the applicable space The use of solid wood flooring and composite flooring mainly depends on the actual situation of consumers. Solid wood flooring is characterized by maintenance, high deformation rate, low wear resistance, and short lifespan, but it has an incomparable advantage of composite flooring, that is, pure solid wood and good foot feel. Composite flooring is divided into reinforced composite and solid wood composite. The characteristics of reinforced composite are: high wear resistance, no maintenance, and long service life, but it has a disadvantage, that is, the foot feel is relatively poor.

4. Post-maintenance Compared with solid wood composite flooring, it is easy to care, not easy to hide dirt, and easy to clean. As long as the paint on the surface of the solid wood composite floor is well treated, the wear resistance will be very good, and it will not take too much time for maintenance and maintenance later. A good solid wood composite floor can reach 3 years without waxing, and can keep its original shape.

Solid wood flooring has relatively high requirements for laying and pasting. If the construction master’s skills are not good, it will cause a series of problems in the daily living process. If the indoor environment is too humid or dry, the solid wood floor is easy to arch, warp and deform. If you really want solid wood floors to stay bright and glossy, you need waxing, oiling, etc.

5. Whether it is arched Many people choose composite flooring because they have heard that solid wood flooring is easy to arch, expand with heat and contract with cold. But the fact is that all substances will expand with heat and contract with cold to a greater or lesser extent. If you don’t want to leave expansion joints or leave them very narrow for the sake of beauty, then it will inevitably arch. Moreover, although the solid wood floor is arched, its nature has gradually stabilized over time, and it is not so easy to arch.

So the composite floor will not arch? Not necessarily, although it will not be partially arched, but it will be arched as a whole, because there is no fixed point in the middle of the composite floor, and it cannot escape the natural law of thermal expansion and contraction, so there will be this problem. If you feel that the floor of your home is a little soft when you step on it, it may be that the laminate floor is arching.
