It's not long after laying a wooden floor that the ends begin to warp, which makes consumers very annoyed. They think the quality of the floor has already been affected. In fact, it is not necessarily due to poor quality during the production process. It can also occur during installation and use. It may be caused by a single factor or a combination of factors. Today, let's discuss the reasons why solid wood composite flooring warps:
Solid wood composite flooring is made by interlacing and laminating planks of different wood species. This creates significant internal stress and can lead to excessive warping. If this internal stress isn't properly released, the flooring's edge warping is more likely to occur.
There are quality issues with the core layer of engineered wood flooring. The core layer is typically made of solid wood strips, which are high-quality and stable. Poor quality increases the likelihood of flooring problems. Moganshan engineered wood flooring uses imported New Zealand red pine wood, which is over 50 years old, for its high quality and stable structure.
The moisture content of the face and core panels does not match, or there are issues with the gluing quality. Different wood species have different moisture contents, and if they are not matched, problems can easily arise. Insufficient gluing between the two, coupled with external environmental influences, can also cause edge warping.
The moisture content of the wooden keel is too high. When wooden keels are laid under the solid wood composite floor, the moisture content of the solid wood keel is higher than that of the solid wood composite floor. The moisture content is mismatched and the ends of the floor are prone to warping.
The suspended paving method requires the installation of a moisture-proof membrane to prevent moisture from entering. If the moisture-proof membrane is not thick enough, not laminated well, not sealed well, or of poor quality, moisture can enter the wooden floor, causing it to swell and warp.
During the installation process, the gap reserved between the wooden floor and the wall in the longitudinal direction is insufficient. After the floor absorbs moisture, there is not enough space to expand, which will also cause the floor to warp.
During the use of the floor, if you use a wet mop for daily cleaning instead of dry wiping, the floor will have the problem of curling edges over time.
In summary, the warping of engineered wood flooring isn't necessarily a problem with the flooring itself; it could be caused by a single factor, or a combination of factors, during production, installation, and use. Remember, humidity control is crucial for wood flooring; maintain a moderate humidity level.
