Proper Performance of Wood Flooring
Performance of wood floors, water from various sources, the earth itself, surface water (stormwater runoff, for example), and the atmosphere of mainland China. Let us consider various ways, causing problems of water and how they can control and prevention. With the introduction of laminate flooring, hardwood floors can be used in almost every room, even in the basement. Water or near the construction site can not be neglected or ignored.
The first is the excessive amount of water will be easy to just floor of the chamber of solid wood, if it is installed. Most complaints are related to wood floors and solid wood flooring products in the surrounding water content. The impact of water on the floor. When moisture is serious, the results with suction tape, buckling, movement, and / or cracks and gaps in the flooring division. Potential sources of water, new rural construction: new construction, water can enter a house in multiple facets. When the frame is constantly increasing, 2 – 4 and flooring materials often rain. As building contractors usually work stress, require that we plan to build houses, and sometimes need time to catch the evaporating water.
Quantity of water used wet wood framed and the introduction to the industry is important. Groundwater: the water level is sometimes higher than the surface of the soil up and down depending on: heavy rain or persistent, a rainy season in spring does not seem to find a house is built, along with the flow Water 1, impermeable layer of soil. All of the foregoing may result in water penetration of the foundation wall or through the foundation or crawl space at the base. Surface water: rainwater from the roof falling on the ground or through walls or foundation. In some areas, clay can retain surface drainage, leading to the foundation wall or floor of the water pressure. surface drainage problems can also occur because the crawl space below the outside finished grade.
Wood is a hygroscopic material. This means that when the wood exposed to air, dry or it will resume the balance of water, until she and the humidity and temperature. Cause swelling of the wood moisture. Removing the wood moisture content of 25-30% at the beginning, the fiber saturation point, and continued until the moisture content reaches 0%, a completely dry state. In contrast, swelling, such as wood moisture content from 0% to 25-30% moisture, the fiber saturation point. Over 25% – 30% of the dimensional stability of wood. Relative Humidity: When the humidity increases, the effect on the wood floor can be damaging.
This occurs most often in the family to live a very short period of time, as the holiday home or weekend cottage or closed off (no heating chamber, where) to save energy. If you do not use air conditioning or heating on or off, ventilation is a must, even if the house is not occupied. Otherwise, the floor will develop in high humidity, cupping and buckling occurs. This greenhouse effect “is exaggerated, even when the wood floor was installed, because the Council will address a wide range of water sports. With the basement and the following functions in relation to water. Specific to the uninitiated appears to be a solid foundation and waterproof, but it is in its own water source. Concretes to expand by absorbing water in wet weather or exposure to rain, and re Evaporation of water contracts. flooring solid wood minimum acclimated for one week. Domestication needs. domesticated trees very difficult in practice, not laminated will take several weeks. humid climate in the south-eastern Climate may take two weeks.
Solid Wood is almost always from floor installation floor moisture, help control humidity. flooringon wood on the first floor will be more than the floor level of the second floor domestication.
