For the Warmth of Wood Kitchen Flooring

The Purchase of Kitchen Floor

Although the floor has many advantages in the kitchen, it is undeniable that the floor is a sensitive material and is not suitable for environments such as moisture and soot. To customize the floor for the kitchen, you must start with the material selection.

Look with your eyes

When buying a floor, first observe its appearance, see the density of the board, and the floor with low density is vulnerable to moisture and moisture. It is also possible to calculate the density of the entire floor in a simple manner based on the formula of density = mass / volume. Generally speaking, the density of low density boards is less than 450 kg/m3, the density of medium density boards is 450 kg-600 kg/m3, and the density of high density boards is 600 kg~900 kg/m3.

Smell with the nose

The kitchen floor should pay attention to environmental protection, and you can choose to use good quality new flooring such as PVC floor and SPC floor. The quality floor has a scent, and the inferior floor is the opposite. You only have a pungent smell when you smell it with your nose. Once this floor is used, it can have a negative impact on health.

Drip test

The drip is to test the water absorption rate of the floor. Take 1-2 pieces of floor at random, and drop a few drops of water on the front and back of the floor. After a certain period of water absorption, the floating water drops will not be absorbed on the decorative layer. There is no obvious swelling of the water on the side, which proves that the water absorption of the floor meets the requirements.

Crack test

Put a few pieces together to see if there is a difference in height. If there is a clear drop to prove that the floor is hot and cold, such a floor is not suitable for high temperature kitchens.
