From the surface perception, although the raw material collection method of cork flooring is more environmentally friendly. It is also closer to nature, but this does not mean that all cork flooring is environmentally friendly. Cork flooring itself is also glued together. If the glue is not environmentally friendly, the cork flooring will not be environmentally friendly. However, the products that have passed the inspection and certification of the national quality inspection department are environmentally friendly consumers still need to pay attention to the purchase of regular brand products when purchasing, and if necessary, obtain relevant certification to inquire.
But this structure also brings some problems, and the special structure of cork will bring a comfortable home experience. Consumers need to choose according to their own needs and conditions.
Wear resistance and compression resistance are less
If the object with a large pressure (such as the small area of ​​the Furniture Leg contacting the ground is small, because the hardness of the outer surface is not enough. The furniture is heavy), the floor may be pressed out of the pit. For this problem, the salesman usually explains that the cork has the ability to restore the original shape after compression. As long as the furniture is removed for a period of time, the pressed pit will gradually recover. Wang Jun pointed out that the deformation of the object is divided into Elastic deformation and plastic deformation, elastic deformation can be restored, but plastic deformation is not possible. If it exceeds the elastic deformation value range, it becomes plastic deformation and cannot be recovered. If you use a sharp heel to step on the cork floor, The crater that occurred may not be recoverable.
Even if the wear layer is added to the exterior, the density of the cork floor is relatively small. It is also inferior to laminate flooring and parquet. Therefore, cork flooring must be more elaborate in the installation and maintenance process. It is best to put the furniture in the device 24 hours later, minimize the number of people walking on it within 24 hours, and add small squares or rubber rings to the legs of the furniture to reduce the pressure. During use, the owner should wear soft-soled shoes to walk on the cork floor to prevent the sand from being brought into the room. It is recommended to lay a foot pad at the door and remove the sand that is brought into the room in time to reduce the wear on the floor. .
The color is relatively "niche"
The exterior texture of the cork floor is closer to the surface texture of the bark. In terms of shape, the wooden texture is compared to solid wood flooring and laminate flooring. Cork flooring is not a conservative bar, but a tile-like shape. The shape has the original ecological texture of nature. In addition to the original colors, there are now a variety of colors such as white, red, black, and gray. There are also a variety of patterns such as parquet and engraving patterns. But in general, the color of cork flooring does not belong to the current popular "taste" choices, taking into account the family's aesthetic habits and the style of decoration.
Cleaning is relatively difficult
With grooves, the cork floor is relatively rough with the cork pressed together. Visually present the original ecological feeling. But it is this structure, Wang Jun pointed out that cork flooring will be easier to store ash, requires proper use and maintenance, and is more meticulous in cleaning. The waterproof and anticorrosive performance of ordinary cork flooring is not as good as that of laminate flooring, and moisture is more likely to penetrate. It is necessary to prevent ink, lipstick, etc. from getting on the floor, otherwise it will easily penetrate into the floor. If it is not treated with moisture and water, the cork flooring is prone to mildew in a relatively humid environment. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the user's environment humidity is within a reasonable range.
To make it waterproof, there is a special film on the surface of cork flooring. But Wang Jun thinks this affects the feeling of the foot. Some merchants also advertised that cork flooring can be used directly in the bathroom after brushing the waterproof paint. Cork flooring is soft, even if it is added with waterproof paint, the waterproof paint layer is easily damaged after temporary pedaling. It is recommended to use it in the bathroom.
Used for floor heating to see the thickness first
The thinner the thickness, can the cork flooring be used in geothermal environments? In principle, the heat transfer of the floor is related to the thickness and the length of the heating time. The faster the floor warms up. Cork has poor thermal conductivity, so if it is the same thickness as solid wood flooring and laminate flooring, it is not suitable for floor heating. Nowadays, cork flooring has various thicknesses. The thickness of cork flooring installed by adhesive type is usually about 4cm. Compared with solid wood flooring and laminate flooring with thickness of 12cm or more, the heat conduction effect is not too much.
The thermal conductivity of cork is relatively poor, in addition. Although the lightweight partition board may heat up slowly, the heat dissipation is slower, which will give the room a warm and dry feeling. Wang Jun reminds consumers that if the floor heating is used in the home, it is best to use a period of heating before paving the cork floor to prevent moisture from entering the floor. In addition, a plastic film can be placed under the cork floor. Achieve good moisture resistance.
