Many owners will have such doubts when paving the wood floor. Is it wood floor or ceramic tile? In fact, both have advantages and disadvantages. Let's take a look with Xiaobian. Which one is better when decorating the house?
I. advantages and disadvantages of wood flooring 1. Advantages of wood flooring (1) durability: the solid wood flooring is processed from a whole piece of wood, and the thickness of the solid wood flooring on the market is 18mm, which ensures the wear resistance. Until now, the solid wood floor of many old houses in Shanghai is still solid and durable, which is a good example. The living room chooses to spread wood floor or ceramic tile.
(2) because it comes from natural wood, it has no radioactivity and formaldehyde, so it has no harm to human body. As long as it is a product grown by a regular manufacturer, we basically don't need to consider environmental protection, which is why many families value solid wood flooring. The natural wood itself does not contain formaldehyde, but the quality of the paint used by many small manufacturers to make paint board is not up to standard, which will cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard.
(3) good foot feeling: the laid solid wood floor has good elasticity. No matter the temperature or the touch, the foot feeling is very soft and comfortable.
(4) warm in winter and cool in summer: due to the small thermal conductivity of wood, it has a very good temperature regulating effect as a ground material. Especially in cold winter, people who move indoors will not feel stiff feet, and they do not feel cold when stepping on the floor like the laminate floor. 2. Disadvantages of wood floor (1) difficult to maintain: solid wood floor has high requirements for installation. Once installed poorly, it will cause a series of problems. The fact that the complaint rate of floor installation problems is always high illustrates this problem. That is to say, from the beginning of installation, we have to spend a lot of energy to focus on the installation of solid wood flooring. After installation, the trouble still exists. Because the stability of solid wood floor is not good enough, the indoor environment is too wet or dry, it is easy to arch, warp or deform. And after laying and installing, you should often wax and oil, otherwise the luster of the floor surface will soon disappear, which is really tiring.
(2) high price: due to the influence of various factors, the solid wood floor has been maintained at a high price, and there is no possibility of reduction in the short term.
Now the price of solid wood floor which is a little better in the market and with guaranteed quality is more than 200 yuan / m2. After all, the money spent on the solid wood floor is really necessary. Families with tight budgets still have to weigh it. The existence of the above two problems makes the solid wood floor destined to be a family choice with certain economic strength and enough time and energy to maintain
2. The advantages and disadvantages of ceramic tile 1. The ceramic tile is beautiful and durable; it has a good sense of comfort; it has a good thermal insulation performance with geothermal heating; the price is a little cheaper, and the construction is simple and free of charge. It is easy to clean, simple to maintain, not easy to store dirt, long service life, generally 10-20 years; good fire-proof, waterproof, corrosion-resistant performance; environmental protection; rich modeling. With a piece of tile can spell out their vision of family life. Moreover, the floor tiles are very convenient to handle. You can clean them with a sweep and a wipe. Tiles don't have to worry about getting wet or scratched by hard objects. 2. Disadvantages of ceramic tiles: poor comfort and heat insulation in home use; limitations in use area; radioactive pollution in individual ceramic tiles; high cost, complex pavement, tedious construction, more labor cost: 35-40 yuan / m2. The ceramic tile steps on the sole of the foot hard, and the feeling is not so warm. Especially in wet weather, it is easy to slip, and the use area of ceramic tile is limited.
3. Purchasing skills of wood flooring 1. Recognize whether there is a brand logo, pay attention to the name and address of the manufacturer, and avoid purchasing three no products. Only the powerful professional enterprises have the ability to produce high-quality flooring. 2. The real reinforced composite wood floor should be based on high-density fiberboard, and attention should be paid to the difference. The thickness of international standard is 8mm, and products below this thickness shall be treated with caution. 3. Wear resistance is a very outstanding advantage of laminate floor. The higher the wear-resistant revolution of the surface, the longer the service life of the floor. Because the surface layer of the product is mainly aluminum oxide wear-resistant layer (commonly known as artificial diamond), which is hard and wear-resistant, the wear-resistant rotation value is usually used to measure this index. The thickness of the wear-resistant layer is generally 0.6-0.8mm, but the thickness does not represent the wear-resistant degree. It should be explained by the aluminum oxide content per square meter. Generally, there are 33, 38, 46, 62, 75 grams, etc. the higher the aluminum oxide content is, the higher the wear-resistant degree is. The wear resistance of the composite floor is assessed by the standard wear-resistant rotation number. Generally, the wear-resistant rotation number above 6000 can fully meet the needs of home decoration. Some JS, when the decorative board used to decorate the wall is sold as the floor, it certainly can't meet the wear-resistant requirements. To judge whether the fake and inferior products can be ground on the floor with sandpaper, the fake and inferior products are easy to find soon.
IV. ceramic tile purchasing skills
1. Touch by hand: the glaze surface shall be smooth and delicate without particles; the glossy surface shall be crystal and bright, and the glossless surface shall be soft and comfortable.
2. Look: look at the color difference, put several pieces of ceramic bricks together, and look carefully in the light. The color difference of good products is very small, and the colors of products are basically the same; the color difference of poor products is large, and the colors of products are different.
3. Measurement: the specification can be measured with caliper. Good product specification deviation is small, after paving, the product is neat and uniform, the brick seam is straight, and the decoration effect is good. Poor products have large deviation in specifications and different sizes between products. What kind of floor should be laid in the living room is a key one, because the first thing you see when you enter the living room is the floor. The guests first see the color and style of the floor, and then when they step into the living room, their hearts will make a judgment. The life taste of the host can also be said to be the quality of life at that level. Now people's life is not in the pursuit of taste and quality. So it is very important to choose a suitable floor or tile.
Let's see what kind of floor is better in the living room. The first thing to consider is that the external nature of the living space is not strong. If friends or relatives often visit, it is recommended to use ceramic tiles. Because wood floor is inferior to floor tile in water resistance, wear resistance and strength. But the wood floor is relatively comfortable and looks better. Because the living room is a place where people come and go, the floor tiles are wear-resistant; if the wood floor, it is difficult to maintain in the living room.
If the living room in the home is large, the next is to choose composite floor or solid wood floor. If the living room is large, it is suggested to pave the floor tiles. If the place is too large, it will cost a lot of money to pave the floor, and in order to protect the environment, it must use solid wood, so that it will not be harmful to the body. (if the living room is large, the cost of paving the solid wood floor is too high). If the living room is not large, it is good to pave the floor! The second is to see the decoration style. The general family will use the modern simple style, this style commonly used 800X800 polished brick. The probability of using the floor in the retro European style will be high. If it's rural style, it's possible to use retro bricks. It's possible to use floor tiles as well.
The third is illuminance. Generally speaking, the wood floor has a lot of heavy colors, and the white polished brick will make the floor more open and bright. Many friends like the living room, the dining room and the bedroom. Because the floor tile heats relatively good some, however, also can choose compound wood floor, compound floor shop sitting room's friend is also quite many, because compound floor is more wear-resistant than solid wood floor. But considering that the living room and dining room more people, dirty faster, there will be a variety of stains. So living room and dining room use floor tile, namely the vitrified brick in polished brick. This kind of brick is more resistant to dirt than ordinary polished brick. It can be wiped with a rag if there is a little oil stain. Floor tiles: advantages: easy to clean, wear-resistant, moisture-resistant, but if the use of poor quality vitrified brick effect is the opposite. Disadvantages: not suitable for the elderly and children, high installation cost, not easy to replace, and slippery rainy days, the elderly and children are easy to fall. Solid wood floor: advantages: gorgeous feeling, comfortable foot feeling disadvantages: high price, not easy to take care of, need to hit keel to affect high composite wood floor:
Advantages: low price, various designs, convenient replacement disadvantages: not wear-resistant, afraid of water, the general decoration companies recommend the use of floor tiles, because the manufacturer is responsible for the installation of the living floor which is relatively easy to make money, and the whole house is only happy with the floor tile decoration company. I think composite floor is better. It's cheap and the most important thing is convenient replacement. Many people have paved composite floor on the floor tile because it's too hard to replace the floor tile, and it won't last forever. Decoration is better to be practical. I hope my answer will help you.
