Carbonized floor is a kind of floor which is treated by high temperature precipitation in an oxygen-free environment. Generally divided into carbonized bamboo flooring and carbonized solid wood composite flooring. At present, there are also a few carbonized solid wood floors on the market. So what is a carbonized wood floor? What are the advantages and disadvantages of carbonized wood flooring? Come and have a look with us.
What is a carbonized wood floor?
Carbonized wood floor is a kind of high-temperature homogeneous carbonization treatment of wood without adding any chemical agent, which makes the wood surface have dark brown aesthetic effect and has the functions of anticorrosion and biological invasion prevention. Low moisture content, not easy to absorb water, stable material, no deformation, thorough degreasing, no overflow of fat, good thermal insulation, simple construction, convenient painting and no special smell. It is an ideal indoor and sauna room material and has become a popular new trend in bathroom decoration. Its corrosion resistance, moth resistance, deformation and cracking resistance and high temperature resistance have also become ideal materials for outdoor swimming pool landscape.
Advantages of carbonized wood flooring:
1. Improvement of durability and corrosion resistance: During carbonization, complex chemical reactions occurred in floor components, which changed some components of the floor, reduced the nutritional components of floor rot fungi, and inhibited the growth of fungi in the floor from the food chain. Therefore, the corrosion resistance and weather resistance of carbonized floor are significantly improved, and it has the function of preventing rot, termites and fungi.
2. Environmental protection: The environmental protection drying carbonization process is different from the chemical modification of the floor, and the floor carbonization treatment is a pure physical technology. In the process of floor carbonization, only temperature and water vapor are involved, and no chemicals are added.
3. Improvement of dimensional stability: The floor is heat-treated at high temperature (160-230℃). By reducing the concentration of hydroxyl groups in the floor components, the hygroscopicity and internal stress of the floor are reduced, so that the exchange capacity between carbonized floor and external water is significantly reduced, and the wet expansion can be reduced by more than 50%, which greatly improves the dimensional stability of the floor, thus greatly reducing the deformation, shrinkage and wet expansion of the floor caused by changing water in use.
4. Moisture-proof enhancement: After carbonization heat treatment, the water-absorbing machine of the floor has changed. With the increase of treatment temperature, hemicellulose with strong hygroscopicity is degraded during treatment, which reduces the hygroscopicity of the floor and the hydrogen bond between water molecules and floor molecules, thus greatly reducing the hygroscopicity and water absorption of the floor and keeping the carbonized floor with low moisture content in humid air. The equilibrium moisture content of carbonized floor is 40% lower than that of non-carbonized floor. The equilibrium moisture content of carbonized floor is also low, and the moisture content of floor can be kept at 6% when it is used in greenhouse. Therefore, carbonized floor products are not easy to deform and crack, and can be applied to dry and turbid environments.
5, color: carbonized floor inside and outside the same color, in the whole board can also ensure uniform and lasting color. The color of carbonized floor is physical coloring, which will not change with time. The decorative effect of carbonized floor is consistent (it can be used as antique solid wood floor).
6. Easy maintenance: The resin and some inclusions of carbonized floor are precipitated during carbonization treatment. Therefore, the surface layer of carbonized floor has no oily components such as resin and is easy to coat. At the same time, because the carbonized floor has the advantages of anti-corrosion, good stability and moisture-proof, it is also quite easy to maintain in daily use.
7, thermal conductivity: good thermal conductivity, skin contact with carbonized wood will not feel any discomfort, completely bid farewell to the cold of traditional tiles, carbonized floor is an ideal material for modern interior decoration.
Defects of carbonized wood flooring:
1. Wood without moisture is more brittle than wood with moisture. Although the carbonized floor is firm, it has lost its original elasticity. Feet and touch are not as soft and comfortable as other floors.
2. After high temperature drying, the carbonized floor loses its original flavor. Although the carbonized floor has no peculiar smell, it also has no natural fragrance of wood.
3. Although the carbonized floor retains the natural texture of wood, it loses its natural color. Carbonized floors are usually dark, and the color is not as bright as other floors.
4, suitable for the desert climate in the north, carbonization technology is difficult, so the whole industry can really do carbonization.
