When consumers decide to use wooden floors as floor decoration materials, they must follow the following steps to make purchases:

1. Before buying, you must first know the level, orientation and area of your house. It is best to draw a floor plan for overall planning, specifically allocate the use functions of each room, and then choose the floor according to local conditions; Generally speaking, young people are busy with work and study, and it is impossible to meet the requirements of the elderly and children. It is best for the whole family to discuss together, reach an understanding and determine the direction of buying the floor. Also consider the performance of the floor, whether it is temporary or long, and whether it will cause operation and damage to surrounding buildings during laying construction; Finally, we should consider our own economic ability and budget the decoration expenses.

2. The main types of wood flooring are: solid wood flooring, laminated wood flooring, solid wood flooring and bamboo flooring. To do this, we need to know what kind of floor to choose, and then we can focus on targeted selection and decision-making.

3. After the tree species are determined, it is necessary to further determine the tree species, colors, grades, prices and specifications.

4. At present, there are many manufacturers and brands of wooden floors on the market, which are dazzling and dazzling, and there are three products everywhere. Therefore, you must understand the brand and credibility of the floor when purchasing. Try to buy well-known brands of flooring.

5. Through the investigation and study of the above steps, we have a good idea of the type, color, grade, specification and price of the floor, that is, we have determined the purchase direction and are ready to pay for it. Before buying, we must further clarify: ① the quality of the floor; (2) Laying method; (3) Warranty commitment.

6. The supplier collects the payment according to the receipt, and both parties appraise the contract, so that the villain comes first and the gentleman comes second. In principle, let whoever buys the floor shop, and don't look for someone to shop, so as not to shirk responsibility for quality problems in the future and let consumers suffer unnecessary losses.

7. Before laying the floor, the floor shall be transported to the construction site by the manufacturer. Consumers should check whether the quantity, quality, specification, color and grade of the floor and accessories are in line with the purchase requirements in time, and should not be vague before paving.

8. After the quantity and quality of floors are verified, determine the laying technology and ground treatment requirements, and know fairly well before laying.

9. On-site supervision as far as possible, that is to say, the process of laying, guidance and acceptance.

10. After the renovation is completed, conduct the completion acceptance, settle the project payment, and refund more and make up less. And ask for the after-sales service card.

1 1. Pay attention to the maintenance of the floor. After the floor is laid, it should be cured for at least 24 hours to avoid affecting the life of the floor.

Second, buying skills

When choosing a floor, you can pay attention to the following points:

1, which should be purchased in regular companies and their subordinate stores, exhibition halls of shopping malls and building materials supermarkets. Regular company services are guaranteed. Don't be greedy and cheap, buy from so-called brick-moving vendors to avoid problems and troubles in construction and maintenance services. Ask the other party to issue a formal invoice.

2. For imported products, the supplier shall provide the latest customs declaration form to ensure that the products are pure imported products. In addition, according to relevant national laws and regulations, imported products should provide quality inspection reports from relevant domestic authorities to ensure product quality.

3. Choose products with better price, that is, the same quality is better than price, and the same price is better than quality and performance.

4, according to personal hobbies, living environment (such as light, etc. To choose the pattern and color of multi-layer solid wood floor, generally speaking, the lighting conditions are similar, and those who like strong personality can choose a darker color.

5. Choose multi-layer solid wood floor with good surface wear resistance. At present, the surface coating of clay paint on the market is the best. You can touch whether the surface is smooth as satin by hand or scratch it with your fingernail to test it.

6. Choose products with low formaldehyde content. Because it is related to health and safety.

Third, simple detection skills

1. How to detect the formaldehyde content of laminate flooring with a simple method?

Open the moistureproof layer to expose the substrate. If the nose smells irritating, the formaldehyde content must exceed the standard.

Formaldehyde is a colorless, soluble and irritating substance, which exceeds the national standard1.5 mg/L/L. It can cause throat discomfort, chest tightness and asthma in light cases, and respiratory diseases or emphysema, pregnancy syndrome, nerve and lung immune poisoning in severe cases, especially for children and the elderly.

2. How to detect the quality of laminate flooring substrate with simple methods?

A good substrate should be high-density wood fiber board with a density of 0.83-0.95g/cm2 and good stability. Compared with the naked eye, the color should be pure, moderate in hardness and no peculiar smell.

3. How to strengthen the floor moistureproof layer with simple inspection?

A good moistureproof layer can prevent the floor from deformation and warping, and achieve good moistureproof, heat conduction and sound insulation effects. Visual inspection should be fine workmanship, solid texture and pure color.

4. How to detect the quality of laminate flooring with simple methods?

Imported high-grade decorative layer is waterproof, moisture-proof, ultraviolet-proof, colorfast and antistatic, and the pattern is natural and realistic. Compared with the naked eye, it should be pure color, positive color, clear wood grain, realistic scars, natural and generous, and strong sense of solid wood.

5, identify the advantages and disadvantages of the floor to "look at ten"

See if it's from a specialty store. Whether there is a power of attorney, whether there is an international quality certificate, a China environmental label product certificate and an authoritative certificate issued by a national functional department; Whether there is an inspection report (part of the entrusted inspection report is not true, depending on the supervision inspection or daily inspection report), whether it is the original. Since there is no, it may be a low-quality floor.

Second, look at the product information and atlas. Those false words, such as rough printing, simple content, saying that it is wear-resistant and so on. , are misleading propaganda, are made by informal manufacturers.

Third, look at whether the manufacturer or marketing organization has a standardized retail price tag and whether it is a product with random pricing. If this happens, it can't be a brand floor.

Fourth, look at the patterns on the floor surface. Those floors with fuzzy texture, wrong color, unnatural and poor solid wood feel can't resist ultraviolet rays and fade easily. These floors are undoubtedly inferior products.

Fifth, look at the core material. Those floors with rough core materials and dark colors have formaldehyde content exceeding the top grade of national standards, and most of them are unqualified and belong to inferior products.

Sixth, look at the degree of polishing. Use woodworking sandpaper to polish the floor surface several times, and the low-quality counterfeit products are white and have traces, which are lower than the national wear-resistant requirements.

Seventh, look at the stitching effect. Take a bag of floors and stagger the three pieces. The problems of height difference, triangular seam and non-straight edge are obvious, so this floor belongs to inferior products.

Look at the bottom of the floor. Those floors with inconsistent colors, rough texture, no brand words and production time, large deformation and poor moisture resistance are all inferior products.

Look at the import board, customs declaration form, commodity inspection form and certificate of origin. Original imported floor, the list has the origin, specifications, name and date, and the box has the relevant contents of Chinese translation. It is more important to see whether the number marked on the import list is tens of thousands of square meters or more. If it is less than tens of thousands of square meters, it may be that some original floors are imported, but the floors sold in large quantities belong to selling dog meat by hanging sheep's heads, which are self-produced or OEM products.

Look at the warranty card and sales receipt. Regular manufacturers have standard receipts, and the real manufacturer's address and telephone number are on the packaging box and product information. There is no real address and telephone number on the inferior floor packaging box and product information, or there is no address and telephone number at all.

Four or five kinds of laminate flooring can't be bought:

Odd taste board: formaldehyde is seriously exceeding the standard. Melamine is the adhesive substrate for high-quality laminate flooring, and the price of urea-formaldehyde adhesive as the substrate of "odor board" is only 1/7 of the price of melamine. Due to the low production technology and poor substrate, the content of harmful gases such as formaldehyde emitted by "strange taste board" products seriously exceeds the national limit standard.

Short-lived board: the wear-resistant layer is not wear-resistant. The reason why the "short-lived board" is short-lived is because the floor surface is made of cheap ordinary decorative paper, and the wear-resistant revolution is extremely low. The wear-resistant layer of high-quality laminate flooring is alumina, which accounts for 20%-30% of the total cost of flooring. Failure to add wear-resistant layer or insufficient weight of wear-resistant paper will be the reasons for the short life of laminate flooring.

Crispy core board: low density of base material. "Crispy core board" is also to reduce the cost, using low-density medium-density board, particleboard and so on as materials to produce laminate flooring. Laminated wood flooring should be based on special high-density boards, and its water absorption and expansion rate should be strictly controlled. The substrate used for "crispy core board" is cheaper than that used by regular manufacturers 1/2 to 1/3.

Workshop board: low technical level. Laminated wood flooring needs large-scale production with high technology content, and some well-known brand processing plants can produce tens of thousands of square meters a day. The production scale and technological level of some small-scale miscellaneous brand processing plants simply can not meet the relevant standards formulated by the state. The floor cutting tools selected by manufacturers who regularly produce laminate flooring are all diamond tools, the accuracy of which reaches micron level, and they are replaced regularly, and the use cost of the tools alone reaches 2 yuan /m2-3 yuan /m2. The workshop plate is made of common woodworking tools, and the cutting accuracy can not meet the requirements, resulting in cracks in the plate and poor installation bite.

Gui Li Board: Counterfeiting and Imitating Famous Brands. The main means of "Gui Li Board" are impersonation, plagiarism, imitation and whitewashing identity. They take advantage of the lack of professional discrimination of ordinary consumers, deceive and hurt consumers, reap huge profits from them and disrupt the normal order of the market.

Countermeasures: Buy brand floor in the regular market and keep the invoice. Experts suggest that floors should be purchased in the formal building materials market, and it is best to choose well-known brand-name products with quality assurance system certification. Read the product manual or test report clearly when buying, and ask for an invoice after buying. In this way, once the product has quality problems, according to the provisions of the Consumer Protection Law, claims can be made.

Be careful when waxing the floor.

According to newspaper reports, an explosion occurred in a family in Hong Kong. The reason for the explosion was that the family closed the doors and windows while polishing the crystal wax on the floor, and two decoration workers smoked indoors. This crystal wax contains a desiccant called gas pass, which will explode immediately when exposed to an open flame. It is no accident that this explosion happened. Floor wax is semi-liquid before use and belongs to inflammable and explosive dangerous goods. In the process of waxing, volatiles evaporate, become solid and attach to the floor. It should be said that after the floor wax is completely dried, there is no flammable problem, but it is easy to have an accident if the operation or drying is not complete. Volatiles in the air will burn when they meet an open flame when they reach a certain concentration, but they will not burn if the air is circulated and the concentration is low. Therefore, when waxing the floor, the doors and windows should be opened and well ventilated. In addition, we should pay attention to the following two points: it takes 12 to 48 hours to finish waxing each time. Floor waxing can be done once or twice according to the decoration level. People who pay attention can do it three or four times. No matter how many times you wax, you should avoid storing volatile substances between wax layers, which will gradually evaporate in the future and bury hidden dangers. Usually it takes at least 48 hours to open the doors and windows after the floor is waxed. Various floor waxes have different requirements in operation. The interval of rapid volatilization is short and the interval of slow volatilization is long. Please read the instructions of floor wax before operation. Smoking and waxing are not allowed during operation. We need to find a professional team. Before operation, the management personnel shall make disclosure to the operators. Operators are not allowed to smoke. Idle personnel should be evacuated. If the floor wax is not used up after opening, it must be sealed tightly to prevent volatilization. The volatile things contained in floor wax are basically rosin water, benzene oil, gasoline and so on. They are not only flammable, but also toxic to human body. A few years ago, when people chose floor materials for rooms, they paid more attention to materials such as tiles, vitrified bricks and slates. Now, the floor has become the protagonist of the floor, occupying an increasingly important position in home improvement, and the quality of floor materials has a great influence on the success or failure of home improvement. At present, there are mainly five kinds of wood floors in the building materials market for consumers to choose from. These five floors have their own advantages and characteristics. After comparison, there must be one that suits you. Solid wood flooring-winning by "environmental protection and nature" As the name implies, solid wood flooring is a floor decoration material made by drying wood, which basically maintains the natural pattern of raw materials, and its main characteristics are comfortable feet and safe use. Solid wood floors are made of natural trees, so "environmental protection" is a major feature. In today's advocating and returning to nature, solid wood flooring is mainly used for home decoration, which is common in bedrooms, living rooms, study rooms and other floors. The material of solid wood flooring comes from a variety of trees, so the price varies greatly. The precious ones are rosewood and teak, the common ones are maple, oak and ash, and the cheap ones are Chinese fir and pine. At present, the types of solid wood flooring in the decorative materials market are mainly tongue-and-groove flooring, while flat flooring, parquet flooring and vertical flooring are not favored by consumers and have a small market share. The price is generally between100 and 400 yuan/square meter, which is nearly 1,000 yuan more expensive. Therefore, some insiders said that the price factor is an important reason to restrict the sales of solid wood flooring, and only consumers with better economic conditions will use it. There is nothing perfect in the world, and so is the solid wood floor. Its biggest disadvantage is that it is easy to deform, which also becomes an obstacle to purchase. Composite wood flooring-Pragmatists' favorite composite wood flooring, also known as laminated wood flooring, is made of hard fiberboard and medium density fiberboard, impregnated with paper film, and coated with wear-resistant materials such as melamine and alumina. The original wood flooring based on particleboard has been gradually eliminated by the market.

Solid wood composite flooring-environmental protection, nature, practicality and stability-can be divided into three types: three-layer solid wood composite flooring, multi-layer solid wood composite flooring and new solid wood composite flooring. Because it is made of staggered laminated boards of different tree species, it overcomes the shortcomings of one-way solid wood flooring, with small shrinkage and wet expansion rate, good dimensional stability, and retains the natural wood grain and comfortable foot feeling of solid wood flooring. Solid wood composite flooring not only has the beauty of solid wood flooring, but also strengthens the stability of wood flooring, and has the advantages of environmental protection and high cost performance, which should be the development trend of wood flooring industry. A floor dealer said that the solid wood composite floor has solved the defects that the solid wood floor is easy to deform and not wear-resistant, and the feet feel particularly comfortable, allowing consumers to enjoy the warmth of nature and solving the defects that the solid wood floor is difficult to maintain. It is the crystallization of the advantages of laminate flooring and solid wood flooring. Cork flooring-The raw material of expensive cork products is oak bark growing on the Mediterranean coast. The most familiar cork products are the cork of wine bottles and the head of badminton. Its main features are light weight, high buoyancy, strong flexibility, flexibility, compression resistance, impermeability, moisture resistance and corrosion resistance, poor electrical conductivity, heat and sound insulation, strong insulation, friction resistance, non-flammability, delay the spread of fire and no allergic reaction. Another major use of cork is to make floors. The floor made of cork can meet people's requirements of warmth, softness, harmlessness and low noise, especially the sound insulation function of cork floor is more prominent. Some insiders say that the cork floor has the advantages of environmental protection, moisture-proof, wear resistance, good flame retardancy, no fear of moth-eaten, comfortable feet and so on, and the glass will not break when it falls on the cork floor. However, the high price of cork flooring makes it acceptable only to consumers with certain economic strength, and the "noble" gear makes ordinary consumers flinch. Bamboo flooring-It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is moisture-proof and wear-resistant. Bamboo flooring is a floor made of treated bamboo, which is rich in the natural beauty of natural materials and has the advantages of wear resistance, durability, moth resistance and earthquake resistance. Bamboo flooring is warm in winter and cool in summer, moisture-proof and wear-resistant, and easy to use, especially it can reduce the use of wood and play a role in protecting the environment. However, due to geographical location, climate and other reasons, bamboo flooring is rare in the northern building materials market, and consumers rarely choose five kinds of flooring, each with its own strengths. I believe you have your own choice. But industry insiders predict that solid wood composite flooring

Plate is becoming the development trend of home improvement floor.

At present, it is the peak season for decoration. Maybe you are busy decorating your warm home. Of course, we should not be hasty in choosing the floor. What kind of timbre texture? What kind of material can bring you a little warmth? Let's take a look at the latest hot rankings:

Ant wood. Of course, the first choice is ant wood. Black walnut furniture and ant wood floor are the mainstream of decoration at present, and it will even become a distinctive feature of this era. The popularity of ant wood may be a chain effect, but the basis of this effect seems to be its own excellent wood properties. This kind of wood is especially suitable for the climate in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are almost no complaints from ants in all kinds of floor complaints. In addition, everyone has a special liking for the various colors it presents, and there is a lot of room for color selection, which naturally expands the consumer groups. Although the price of ant wood floor has increased recently, it still maintains a medium consumption level and continues to occupy a dominant position in the market.

Indica rice Also known as pineapple, this name is more intimate because it has already had considerable influence. In fact, this kind of wood was widely used in furniture manufacturing a long time ago, and was previously called mahogany, which shows that it also has good wood properties. Of course, the most important thing for consumers is its cheap price, 100, which is an ideal choice for ordinary wage earners to enjoy their winter homes.

Jatoba Now it is also a minor celebrity, very common in the market, with a lot of people, and gradually increase. In terms of performance, it is actually not inferior to ant wood and indene eggplant, and its texture is also very distinctive, but the "oxidation discoloration" is more obvious.

Everyone is unfamiliar with Baodi bean, but this variety has a special attraction as soon as it appears, and its trading volume is no less than or even more than that of traditional varieties such as "Fragrant Winged Bean" which once sold well. Its coffee color embodies a kind of elegance and is the representative of another style, so it can attract this part of people who are informal, pursue novelty and have modern consumption concepts. Jatoba and Baodi beans are more suitable for this group.

Teak. The king of wood is well known. Of course, the sales volume is not so good-expensive! If you want to reflect the value and extravagance of the room, you have to choose teak. The production of teak in the world is very limited. So although there are not many buyers, the demand is still in short supply. This is the patent of the rich class.
