Experts reminded the public that, due to dry weather in winter, in order to prevent cracks in floor, too, the owners, while enjoying the warm, indoor air humidity should be appropriately increased.

Solid wood floor waxing in winter time

Solid wood floor in their own natural texture, high-durability performance was a lot of consumers. However, solid wood flooring used geothermal heating customers may find that after a summer and winter, the floor cracks appeared. Experts said that to solve this problem, consumers should play solid wax the floor.


The relevant experts, solid wood flooring is often retained within a certain degree of moisture in the winter case of geothermal heating, floor dehydration shrinkage away from the seam between the floor will be increased. At this point, the floor marked with solid wax, will reduce the rate of expansion away from the seam.


Room humidity of 50% -60%


Relatively dry winter, try to shorten the window of time, an appropriate increase in the indoor humidity is not only beneficial to people's living conditions, the maintenance of the floor also helps a lot.


Many owners may think that the winter so that the outside air come in, the temperature dropped the city, away from the seam is of course weakened the floor. In this regard, experts said, the floor away from the seam appears the real reason comes from humidity, not temperature. In addition, the air temperature the higher the water the more saturated, which means the relative humidity inside the house in winter outdoors even higher. This time for the outside cold air come in, only make the room more dry. Is equipped with an air humidifier is a very direct and effective. Experts say the best control of the room humidity 50% -60%.


To extreme cold and heat damage to the floor big


In the floor heating in the process of cold and hot temperatures would cause damage to the floor. Experts suggest that in the geothermal process of opening and closing should be gradual and sudden drop in temperature soared, and will affect the life of the floor.


Experts have told us that the first use of geothermal heating, attention should be slow to heat up, if the temperature too quickly, the floor may be distorted due to expansion of cracking occurs. "And the use of geothermal heating, surface temperature should not exceed 30 ℃, this time at room temperature in the body best suited to an ambient temperature of 22 ℃ below the floor life can be protected." The expert also said that when the weather warms, interior is no longer heating, when necessary, should be noted that the geothermal system will shut down slowly, non-sag, or the life of the floor is affected.


Winter "tonic" solve the problems


Laminate Flooring: Maintenance up is simple. In general, the winter is dry, it should be the same as the protection of human skin to maintain laminate flooring in the moisture content can often wipe with a wet mop in order to increase the surface moisture. If the laminate flooring a "chap", the proposed serviced by a professional local "surgery" has done to fill the handle. Laminate flooring is not solid wood floor as luxurious, but because inexpensive, maintenance simple and popular.


Bamboo flooring: Bamboo floors are most afraid of the winter sun but also the sun, because ultraviolet light will be so strong oxidation of the surface of paint. Although in winter the sun is not strong, but the bamboo floors still need sunscreen. Winter, the dry weather, bamboo floor surface is also very dry and susceptible to damage, if the paint is damaged, repair or please use the ordinary varnish manufacturers come patch. If conditions permit, you can also hit the floor to the bamboo floor floor wax, wax after the maintenance of better.


Solid Wood Flooring: to be a solid wax "Mask," moisture solid wood flooring on the floor the status of the most prominent family, the most prestigious, but also most susceptible to the external environment interference in humidity, temperature changes, the most easy to deform, crack and so on. Solid wood floor like the temperature below 28 ℃, humidity 50% ~ 70% of the environment. Geothermal heating in the winter case, solid wood flooring because of water loss and shrinkage, splicing gap increases, this time, to give solid wood flooring to "mask" - playing solid wax. In order to "panacea", it is recommended waxing twice a year. According to reports, in order to maintain the floor there is a relatively stable state, the indoor temperature is optimally should not exceed 26 ℃, while the most important thing is to ensure that indoor humidity at 50% or more, you can use the humidifier for humidification, without the humidifier, use wrung cotton Mop often wipe the ground will also be able to play a good effect.


Cork flooring: Sand is the greatest "natural enemy"


Cork flooring is the flooring of the upstart family, it brings people Jiaogan most comfortable. It is the biggest enemy is sand.

Method is very simple, first lightly polished with sand paper abrasion to remove dirt, then wipe clean with a dry soft cloth, re-do coating, or paste the polyester film on the list.


Solid Wood Flooring: cotton mop wring dry cleaning


Solid wood flooring Jiaogan comfortable, elegant atmosphere, but the winter, experienced humidity, temperature and other external environment changes, prone to deformation, cracking and so on. Interior to maintain a certain temperature and humidity. The best temperature is below 28 ℃, humidity is best to keep at 50% to 70%, not less than 40%. In such external conditions, the wood flooring can be maintained at a relatively stable state. If the natural humidity less than recommended humidifier humidification.


Flooring: Mop mopping the floor with wet



Laminate flooring winter use and maintenance is relatively simple, but can not be taken lightly. In general, an increase in the winter should be noted that the floor surface humidity, with the wet Mop mopping the floor, an appropriate increase in surface humidity, can effectively solve the resulting gaps and cracking the floor. If the individual location of cracking is required to conduct a timely manner to fill the partial processing. In the filling, the appropriate increase in surface humidity, the floor in order to facilitate recovery.
