As the usage time of the floor increases, problems such as discoloration, bulging, peeling, mold, cracking, arching, cracking, and wear will occur, collectively referred to as the aging of wooden floors. These issues greatly affect the use of wooden flooring, so why does wooden flooring age and how can we avoid it? The editor will analyze the real causes of floor aging and how to respond.
There are many reasons for the aging of wooden flooring, which can be roughly divided into external factors and internal factors. The external factors mainly refer to sunlight, temperature, humidity, mold, etc., while the internal factors mainly refer to the moisture content, moisture-proof performance, quality of moisture-proof film, quality of keel, quality of paint film, and craftsmanship of the installation master.
The most common phenomenon of floor aging is discoloration and wear. Although some floors have color differences because they are natural wood and may have some color differences, this is not the main reason for the discoloration of wood floors. A large part of the discoloration is caused by sunlight, mold growth, and oxidation of paint films. The solution is to avoid direct sunlight on the wooden floor. The ultraviolet rays contained in the sunlight not only cause discoloration of the floor, but also cause cracking of the paint surface. Keep the wooden floor clean, prevent mold growth, and regularly wax to protect the paint film.
In terms of current technology, there is actually no good solution for floor wear, because solid wood flooring is not as wear-resistant as reinforced flooring. With the passage of time, the paint film is also gradually worn out. What we can do is to regularly wax and protect the paint film of the floor as much as possible. If the wear is still severe and affects daily use, a floor renovation treatment can be carried out.
Other issues related to aging of wooden flooring are caused by humidity and water. Excessive indoor humidity or a large amount of water sprayed on the floor can increase the moisture content of the flooring, leading to problems such as arching, debonding, peeling, bulging, and floor ribs. So in daily life, we need to control indoor humidity and avoid contact between wooden flooring and water, which can greatly delay the aging rate of wooden flooring.
Of course, what cannot be ignored are the quality of the flooring itself and the craftsmanship of the flooring installation master. There is a saying in the flooring industry that "three parts of the flooring, seven parts of the installation". Whether there are problems with the flooring or installation, it will affect the accelerated aging of the flooring. The quality of the flooring is very simple, and choosing from some well-known brands ensures the quality. Invite a professional installation technician to install this part, and ensure the quality of the auxiliary materials used to ensure that there are no factors that accelerate the aging of the floor during installation!
