Unpopular bamboo floor is getting more and more popular

The scorching summer has arrived. Whether it is the drying brought by the sun exposure or the sudden rain brought by the heavy rain, it has caused some troubles for the summer decoration, especially for the selection and maintenance of the floor. However, as long as you consider everything from all aspects, pay attention to a lot of details, pick the right floor, apply the right medicine, and solve any problems.

Nowadays, with the increasing number of floor types, there are a large number of brands in every category, from solid wood flooring, engineered wood flooring, laminated wood flooring, and bamboo flooring, which can be regarded as dazzling. Among them, bamboo flooring is a rising star in the floor. With its own unique advantages, bamboo flooring has attracted the attention of many consumers. So, what kind of flooring is bamboo flooring in the end? Compared with traditional flooring, what advantages does it have and what are its shortcomings? Xiao Bian learned about bamboo flooring in actual visits.

The advantages and disadvantages of bamboo flooring compared with traditional flooring According to Jiuzheng Building Materials Network, bamboo flooring is a new type of building decoration material. It uses natural high-quality bamboo as raw material, after more than two dozen processes, to remove the bamboo pulp juice, Compression by high temperature and high pressure, and then after more than one layer of paint, and finally dried by infrared. Because of its unique natural materials, bamboo flooring can bring a fresh air to summer home decoration.

Compared with traditional flooring, bamboo flooring has the following advantages:

Cool in winter and cool in summer: Because bamboo has low thermal conductivity, it does not produce cold and heat, so it is particularly suitable for paving in the living room, bedroom, gym, study room, studio, hotel and other ground and wall decoration.

Long life: Bamboo flooring is made of adhesive, applied with high temperature and high pressure after the bamboo boards are degreased, fat, starch fat, protein and other special harmless treatment. Therefore, it has a superior anti-moth-eaten function. At the same time, the six floors of the floor are sealed with high-quality imported wear-resistant paint, which is flame-retardant, wear-resistant and mold-proof.

Good environmental protection effect: Bamboo flooring is made of bamboo, which helps reduce the amount of wood used. The growth period of bamboo is much shorter than that of trees, and it will become a material for several years and become a resource for sustainable production.

Beautiful appearance: Bamboo's natural color is beautiful, flexible, moisture-proof, mildew-free, strong in hardness, cool in winter and cool in summer, and bamboo's arc surface is used as the appearance surface, which has a unique charm.

The price is moderate: the growth cycle of bamboo is relatively short. Xiao Bian learned from the visit that the price positioning of bamboo flooring is generally between the compound floor and the solid wood floor. In other words, bamboo flooring has many solid wood floors and the advantages of composite flooring, but the price is the most moderate.

Insufficient bamboo flooring: In terms of stability, bamboo flooring shrinks and swells less than solid wood flooring. However, the shortcomings of bamboo flooring are also obvious in terms of actual durability. First, it is prone to delamination due to the effects of sunlight and moisture. In southern areas, bamboo flooring tends to grow worms, which affects the service life of the floor.

Bamboo flooring has a long history but has not been able to occupy the mainstream market found that bamboo flooring is not a new product in the floor, its earliest time can be traced back to the late 1980s, but was limited to the technology is not mature at the time, so The service life of bamboo flooring and the issue of moisture-proof and flood prevention have not yet been solved. Therefore, no further development and popularization has been achieved.

Bamboo flooring, as a very distinctive type of flooring, has a high export price and good returns. Therefore, since the day of its birth, bamboo flooring companies in China have almost exclusively set their sights on foreign countries. As a representative of high-end flooring, 60 to 70% of the total output of bamboo flooring in the country is exported. This has also created a situation in which bamboo flooring is “domestic and foreign”, but it is not highly recognized in China. Under the pressure of foreign trade barriers and hostile price competition from domestic export companies, the bamboo flooring industry in China has realized the importance of the local market and began to actively promote the awareness of bamboo flooring among domestic consumers.

Regarding the degree of knowledge about bamboo flooring, there are still many people who do not understand bamboo flooring. Therefore, the number of people who purchase bamboo flooring during the renovation is relatively small. Therefore, increasing consumer awareness of bamboo flooring is one of the most important ways to make bamboo flooring rapidly popular. There are also many businesses that, in solid wood flooring, engineered wood flooring, laminate wood flooring, and bamboo flooring, bamboo flooring is a relatively low cost product because of its relatively high production costs. Therefore, the profit of bamboo flooring is not as good as that of other types of flooring. It also caused the sales of bamboo flooring to be inconceivable.

However, with regard to the sales prospects of bamboo flooring in the Wuhu market, many businesses also have great confidence. “As people increasingly pursue a high quality of life, people’s demand for bamboo flooring will increase, especially young people. People will be the largest group of consumers.” One of the agents made an expectation to Xiao Bian.

The purchase of bamboo flooring is very important Bamboo flooring has so many advantages, but it can't blindly believe in sales promotion. According to experts' advice, bamboo flooring can be purchased by referring to the following methods:

First look at the surface, no air bubbles on the paint, whether it is fresh and bright, if the bamboo is too dark, there is no glue line on the surface (one straight line with a uniform length, the machining process is not fine, the hot pressure is not the cause) and then see There are no cracks around, there are no traces of ash. Whether it is clean and tidy, and then it is to see whether there is any remaining bamboo yellow, whether clean and tidy. After checking everything, you must check the goods to see if there is a gap between the sample and the object. The last item is the installation. If you need to hit the keel, you need to use a standard of 30 centimeters or so. The target board needs four keels. Many dealers only played three. Road, because of the flexibility of bamboo, it is easy to giggle.

The maintenance of bamboo flooring also has the skill of bamboo flooring as the first choice for green decoration. The matters to be noted in the maintenance and repair of the bamboo flooring are also very numerous. Xiao Bian consults the seller and the data is summarized in the following points:

First, keep the indoor ventilated and dry environment constantly maintain the indoor ventilation, which can not only make the chemical substances in the floor volatilize as much as possible, but also discharge to the outside, and can also make the indoor damp air exchange with the outdoor. Especially in the absence of people living and maintaining for a long time, indoor ventilation is more important. Common practice is: often open windows or doors, air convection, or the use of air conditioning systems and ventilation systems, creating a dry and clean indoor environment.

Second, to avoid sun exposure and rain wet Some houses sunlight or rain can enter the room directly from the window into the local area, which will harm the bamboo flooring. The sun will accelerate the aging of the paint and glue, and it will also cause the floor to shrink and crack. After the rain is wet, the bamboo absorbs water and causes swelling and deformation. In severe cases, the floor will be mildewed. Therefore, special attention must be paid to daily use.

Third, to avoid damage to the floor surface Bamboo floor paint is not only the floor of the decorative layer, but also the protective layer of the floor, therefore, should avoid the impact of hard objects, sharp weapon scratches, metal friction, etc., chemicals can not be stored indoors . In addition, indoor furniture should be transported with care and care, and the feet of the furniture should be covered with rubber. In public places, carpets should be laid on the main passages.

Fourth, the correct cleaning and care In the daily use of the process, we should regularly clean the floor, keep the ground clean and hygienic. When cleaning, clean the dust and debris with a clean broom and wipe it manually with a wringer. If the area is too large, clean the cloth mop and hang it to dry. Drag the ground. Do not wash with water or clean it with a damp rag or mop. Normally, if there is spilled water on the ground, it should be immediately wiped dry with a dry rag. If conditions allow, floor wax can also be applied at intervals to enhance the protection of the floor. If the paint surface is damaged, you can use ordinary varnish to make it up or ask the manufacturer to repair it.

Although bamboo flooring is still not popular, it combines all of its many advantages. With the pursuit of high quality of life, the more popular bamboo flooring will certainly become more and more popular on the market.
