Weather changes are like a roller coaster, and what should you do if your boards can't withstand the pressure and start cracking? These two effective solutions...

The temperature has been on a roller coaster ride these past two days, plummeting only to warm up again. This toss-up between cold and hot has caused many homes' wood floors to falter. Some homeowners have noticed fine cracks forming along the seams of their cabinets, and their once-flat tabletops have become slightly warped.

Everyone is worried: the boards at home can’t withstand the alternating cold and heat and are about to crack. What should we do?

Causes of plate cracking

Frequent temperature fluctuations are one of the main causes of wood cracking. As the wood expands and contracts with heat, its internal structure is subjected to thermal stress, making it prone to problems. Wood's inherent tendency to expand and contract when wet exacerbates this problem.

When humidity fluctuates, wood absorbs and loses moisture. When absorbing water, the wood fibers expand, causing the board to deform; when losing water, the fibers contract, also potentially causing cracking. This is particularly pronounced during seasonal changes and when there are large temperature swings between day and night. Ordinary boards often struggle in these conditions, gradually developing various problems that affect both the aesthetics and usability of your home.

How to deal with it?

Daily maintenance

Proper daily maintenance of the panels can reduce these issues to a certain extent. When the air is dry, use a humidifier to maintain the indoor humidity within a suitable range to prevent the panels from cracking due to excessive dryness. During high humidity weather, such as the rainy season, reduce the time windows are open for ventilation to prevent excessive moisture from entering the panels. Also, be careful to prevent scratches, and avoid sharp objects from scratching the surface of the panels, which could damage the protective layer and affect their stability.

Choose high-quality boards

Compared with ordinary boards, Qiangyi glutinous rice boards are better at adapting to changes in temperature and humidity.

After 24 hours of extended cold pressing, Linmei's glutinous rice glue forms a dense, ceramic-like layer within the board, creating a sturdy "armor" that stabilizes the board's moisture content at around 8%, making it less susceptible to fluctuations in humidity. After production, the board undergoes a one-month curing period to further stabilize its performance.

Furthermore, Qiangyi Glutinous Rice Board achieves HENF (High Energy Natural Flame Resistance) certification, making it a truly green and healthy product. It also boasts B1-level flame retardancy, offering excellent fire resistance. It also boasts Level 9 insect resistance, high static bending strength, and resistance to mildew, fungus, and cracking, ensuring exceptional durability.

Furthermore, we utilize an inventory-based sales model, maintaining a stock of over 100,000 units, eliminating the issues of stock shortages and out-of-stock situations faced by many suppliers. With over 20 directly-operated stores nationwide, we offer efficient service, with products arriving as quickly as the same day, ensuring a worry-free renovation experience.
