When buying a floor, the concept of stability is mentioned, which mainly refers to the physical stability of the wooden floor. It generally involves the formation of deformation, cracks and cracks in the paint film. Several factors affecting the stability of the floor The most important factor affecting the stability of the floor is the nature of the material itself and the level of processing technology. Different materials have different density and hardness, and the level of processing technology will also affect various factors such as moisture content, abrasion resistance and paint adsorption of the final product. The length, width and thickness of the finished wood flooring will also have a certain impact on its stability. In general, under the same conditions, the thicker the thickness, the more stable it is, that is, the less likely it is to deform. Floor deformation is generally caused by factors such as the product itself, construction, and external environmental changes in temperature and humidity. For example, improper drying treatment, inadequate health, low water content, shallow back groove, insufficient expansion and contraction gap during construction, too tight laying, improper moisture prevention measures on the ground, excessive tidal rain, heavy sun exposure, and thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature difference Wait. The thicker the less the deformation The effect of the thickness of the wooden floor on the stability is mainly that the increase in thickness enhances the structural strength of the floor and is not prone to stress deformation. There is a very simple truth: "1 chopsticks are easy to break, 1 bundle of chopsticks is folded continuously", so the thicker the floor, the more resistant to deformation caused by external forces. When the floor is stepped on, due to the concentrated force points, the relatively thin floor is likely to cause changes in the floor structure, that is, deformation and bending, and the gravity effect of the long-term will also have a certain influence, and the increase of the floor thickness can increase the wooden floor. The structural strength enhances the bearing capacity of the floor and effectively resists the deformation and bending caused by the force of the floor. Moreover, if the floor is often subjected to bending and straightening deformation due to insufficient strength, it is easy to cause wrinkling and cracking of the surface layer of the floor, so the thicker the floor, the better the surface stability. The thickness of the floor has little to do with the effect of thermal expansion and contraction Because the floor is a wood product, it has the absorption of the tree itself. If the humidity around the floor is too large, the floor will expand and deform due to excessive moisture. Therefore, most of the wood flooring products are treated by the moisture-proof process such as paint, and the installation also needs to pay attention to the measures such as moisture-proof film on the ground to reduce the influence of moisture on the floor. The increase in the thickness of the wooden floor can also more effectively resist the intrusion of moisture into the interior of the floor, reducing the deformation caused by the moisture of the floor. The effect of thermal expansion and contraction on the wooden floor is mainly reflected in the long width, which is the reason for the need to leave a certain gap during installation, and the impact is only minimal for a thickness of only about 20 mm.
Floor buying common sense: the thicker the wooden floor, the more stable
