There is an old saying in the flooring industry: 'Three parts laying, seven parts maintenance'. From this, it can be seen that the maintenance of the floor is very important. Especially in the dry winter, the correct use of underfloor heating directly determines the lifespan of the floor. Today, let's learn how to maintain solid wood flooring in winter
Key point 1: Waxing once in winter
Van Dyck solid wood flooring has gained the love of many consumers for its natural texture, environmentally friendly performance, and comfortable foot feel, but geothermal heating may cause cracks in the solid wood flooring. Because solid wood flooring often retains a certain amount of moisture inside, in the case of geothermal heating in winter, the floor shrinks due to water loss, and the gaps between the floors will increase
To solve this problem, it is a good choice to apply solid wax to the floor once in winter. This can seal off the remaining moisture inside the floor and prevent the floor from shrinking and cracking due to water loss caused by geothermal heating in winter
Key point 2: Room humidity is 40% -60%
If the climate is dry and geothermal heating is used, the floor can easily dry and crack when exposed to high temperatures for a long time. At this time, the room can be humidified to prevent the floor from drying, cracking, and deformation
Equipping an air humidifier is a very direct and effective method to maintain ambient humidity between 40% and 60%. In addition, you can also add two or three drops of aromatherapy, which can not only increase humidity but also create a warm and pleasant home environment
Key point three: Avoid sudden cooling and heating when using underfloor heating
During the first heating process of solid wood flooring, sudden cooling and heating can cause damage to the floor and affect its service life. If the temperature rises too fast, the floor may crack and twist due to expansion. So when turning on and off geothermal energy, it is important to pay attention to gradual progress and maintain a balanced indoor temperature
Key point four: The surface temperature should not be too high
When using geothermal heating, the surface temperature should not exceed 30 ℃, and the water pipe temperature should not exceed 45 ℃. If it exceeds this temperature, it will affect the service life and cycle of the floor
At this point, the room temperature is below the most suitable ambient temperature of 22 ℃ for the human body, and people will feel very comfortable. Moreover, normal heating will not affect the use of solid wood floor heating flooring
Van Dyck is well aware that the home environment is closely related to the health of residents. What we want to bring to users is not only a beautiful living environment, but also a healthy and high-quality life. After the floor is laid at home, maintenance issues cannot be ignored. Only in this way can we extend the service life of the floor and obtain a better experience
