In addition to the common "diseases" of solid wood floors such as insect infestation, cracks, and mildew mentioned last time, there are some other headache-inducing problems. Today we will continue to explore several other common diseases of solid wood floors.
01. Sound
After installing solid wood flooring, you might hear a creaking sound when walking on it, which can be harsh and a bit scary. This noise may actually be due to improper installation. When laying the floor, pay attention to the firmness between the joists and the ground, and between the floor and the joists. The number and length of nails used should be appropriate. Also, excessive spacing between joists or excessive moisture content can cause the floor to dry out, shrink, and loosen, which can also produce noise. Therefore, manage the spacing between joists and their moisture content.
02. Chromatic Aberration
Many consumers find that the color of the flooring they purchased at a specialty store is different from the flooring they have installed at home. Solid wood flooring is made from natural materials, so color differences are inevitable. Even products of the same species, packaging, and specifications may have slight differences. To solve this problem, simply adjust the order and color matching during laying. Lay similar colors together, and transition the color from light to dark or dark to light to achieve a visually beautiful effect.
03. Start the drum
Some solid wood floors can bulge after installation due to moisture or water ingress, creating a visually unsightly and distressing problem. To prevent bulging, the floor should not be laid immediately after construction is complete. If your home is located in a humid environment, choose a floor with excellent moisture-resistant properties and pay attention to the floor's moisture content, ensuring it's neither too low nor too high.
Solid wood flooring is very precious. If there is a problem, you must solve the problem and take good care of it.
