Wood flooring, thanks to its natural beauty, warmth, and comfort, is a favorite among consumers. Many spend considerable time researching wood species, price, and color options, patiently waiting for months to finally move into their newly renovated homes. However, this good time doesn't last long. Soon, warping and squeaking begin to appear on the floor. What causes these problems? And how can they be addressed?
01. The surface of the wooden floor is uneven and some parts are warped.
Cause Analysis
There are many reasons for the warping of wooden floors, mainly: improper moisture-proof measures for wooden floors, which cause the wooden floors to become damp; inaccurate depth measurements during construction, and the leveling rods are not straight; improper installation operations, which cause the wooden floors to be installed loosely. All of the above reasons may cause local warping of wooden floors during use.
Workaround
Wood floors can warp and warp due to moisture, so before laying them, you must create a moisture-proof layer, such as a moisture-proof membrane or a moisture-proof mat. During installation, calibrate the level before laying the wood flooring, and make adjustments promptly if there are any errors during the laying process. Use professional installation tools and hire professional installers to ensure a secure installation in strict accordance with standards.
02. Walking on wooden floors will produce noise
Cause Analysis
You can hear obvious noises when walking on the floor, which is a bit scary at night. The reasons why wooden floors make noises are: the ground is uneven, resulting in some suspended space between the ground and the wooden floor; the wooden floor or wooden keel is not installed firmly, resulting in gaps and uneven force; the moisture content of the wooden floor or wooden keel is unbalanced, causing twisting and deformation, resulting in noises.
Workaround
To avoid such situations, the flatness of the ground should be checked before installation. If the local area is small, it can be improved by using essential oil penetration treatment. If the area is large, it needs to be removed and reinstalled; choose a suitable keel fixing method to ensure sufficient nail holding force so that the wooden floor and the keel are firm and not hanging. Check at any time and make timely adjustments if there is any non-compliance; before installing the floor, the wooden keel and the wooden floor need to be placed indoors for a period of time to balance the moisture content. When purchasing the floor and keel, do not be greedy for cheapness, but buy qualified products, so as to reduce the probability of problems during future use.
