After the rainy season in the south, it is always easy to encounter the problem of solid wood floor tile deformation, and this type of situation also has a common feature: moisture-proof measures are taken when installing the floor
Most dealers believe that the user's home is too trendy. Consumers, on the other hand, believe that there is a problem with the quality of the flooring products. As a result, various disputes, complaints, repairs, replacements, or compensation issues inevitably arise
Is it really all about the quality of the flooring? However, in the same batch of flooring, in the same city, some users have tile shaped deformations in their homes, while others do not. So why is this happening
In fact, for the installation method of solid wood flooring with wooden keel, the deformation of the floor mainly comes from three aspects of moisture influence
Moisture on the ground
This is the main cause of floor deformation. The ground moisture content of newly completed buildings can reach over 20%
Moisture content of wooden keel
When paving floors in many areas, the wooden keel is not dried, but the floor is directly laid on the wooden keel, and the moisture in the keel may also cause the floor to deform
Moisture in the air
For example, during the rainy season, the air humidity can reach over 90%. If the paving method is incorrect, the moisture in the air will enter the back of the floor (the solid wood floor backboard has very little paint, and moisture can easily enter), ultimately leading to tile shaped deformation of the floor
In addition to the above three points, there are also some common installation errors that are prone to lightning strikes
The moisture-proof film is wavy on top of the wooden keel, creating a large gap between the floor and the moisture-proof film, making it easy for moist air to enter the gap. Under the action of moist air, the floor undergoes expansion and tile like deformation
Some installation personnel lack relevant knowledge, professional training, and a sense of responsibility. After laying the moisture-proof film, they trample on it randomly, causing serious damage to the moisture-proof film and losing its function. Some moisture-proof film joints are not sealed tightly with tape, which can also cause varying degrees of breathability
Incorrect installation can directly lead to the deformation of solid wood flooring tiles, and in severe cases, it can even cause arching and cracking of the board surface, with serious consequences
The correct installation method for Van Dyck solid wood flooring is as follows:
The best way to solve tile shaped deformation is to prevent moisture from contacting the back of the floor. The moisture-proof film must be in close contact with the back of the floor, and a layer of substrate needs to be laid on the keel to support the moisture-proof film and ensure that it is in close contact with the back of the floor. This can effectively block moisture from the ground, wooden keel, and air from entering the floor from the back, completely solving the problem of tile shaped deformation of solid wood flooring
From this, it can be seen that the tile like deformation of solid wood flooring is not a quality issue of the flooring itself, but rather caused by moisture on the wood. Moisture expansion and shrinkage are inherent characteristics of wood and are difficult to avoid. It is particularly important to choose high-quality Van Dyck solid wood panels and experienced installers, as tile deformation can be completely avoided
