Today, wood floors have become the first choice for many consumers to decorate the floor materials. However, the wooden floors in some consumers' homes have been used for less than two or three years and will be updated. And some consumers' wooden floors in their homes are still as bright as new after seven or eight years. What is the reason for such a large gap? Experts in the flooring industry explained that "three-point paving and seven-point maintenance" is a principle recognized by the industry at present. On the basis of scientific paving, correct and adequate maintenance of the floor is a key to determining the life of the wooden floor. So, in this midsummer season, how to carry out scientific and perfect maintenance of the wooden floor at home? To do a good job in the maintenance of wooden floors in the midsummer season, you should grasp with both hands to avoid heat and moisture, and both hands should be hard.

Symptom 1: The floor is exposed to the sun, shrinks from the seam, and the paint film is blistered and discolored

Entering the midsummer, the sun in the sky is like fire, and the heat is unbearable. In this case, the most common problem with wood floors is shrinkage joints. This is because at high temperature, the moisture inside the wood is easily volatilized, which will cause the volume of the floor to shrink, so that the gap at the floor splicing will widen, and what’s more, it will cause the tongue and groove to detach and crack. Even turning on the air conditioner didn't help. Because the air conditioner is equivalent to a dehumidifier, using the air conditioner to blow the floor for a long time will also dry the floor and cause shrinkage problems. Another summer floor "killer" that cannot be ignored is the scorching sun. After the floor near the balcony or the window is exposed to the sun, there are often seams, and the paint film will blister, discolor, or even detach.

Floor "heat escape" strategy

There are three main points that should be paid attention to in the method of "heat escape" for wooden floors in summer: first, if wooden floors are installed in the home, there must be someone staying there. Try not to blow the air conditioner on the floor at home. If you feel that the room is dry, you can properly humidify it. Finally, the owner should close the curtains when going out, so as not to let the sun shine directly on the floor.

Symptom 2: The wooden floor is damp, expands, deforms, and arches

The weather in July and August is a typical rainy season, with thunderstorms coming from time to time. In this wet weather, wood floors are extremely prone to swelling, warping, and arching. Industry experts pointed out that in order to let the wooden floor survive this wet rainy season, it is not only necessary to do a waterproof and moisture-proof treatment in advance when paving, but also to take more care on weekdays in order to cure the problem of moisture on the wooden floor.

Floor "moisture-proof" strategy

In order to avoid the expansion, deformation and arching of the wooden floor in the humid air of the rainy season, consumers must first check the first level when purchasing the floor. Industry experts point out that the scientific design of the material and structure of high-quality wooden floors can effectively prevent the expansion and deformation of floors caused by wet weather. For example, the three-layer solid wood floor, the top layer is made of hard wood, which is very good for abrasion resistance; the middle layer and the bottom layer are soft wood with soft texture and strong water absorption. Thanks to their ability to absorb moisture well, these softwoods greatly reduce the burden on the surface wood, allowing the surface of the wooden floor to remain hard, stable and beautiful in the rainy season.

When doing moisture-proof maintenance on wooden floors, in addition to simply closing windows in time and ventilating frequently, there are two more professional methods: First, do more waxing care. It should be waxed half a year or a year, so that the wooden floor can avoid the invasion of moisture in the rainy season, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging the life. In addition, if the home is laid with solid wood floors, you can also consider adding a layer of transparent varnish to the surface, but the process of applying varnish is extremely demanding. If the construction team is not meticulous, it may have the opposite effect. Second, the surface is covered with moisture-proof film. Today, there are special moisture-proof films for wood floors on the market. This kind of moisture-proof films for wood floors can be applied to the surface of wood floors to prevent the surface of wood floors from getting wet. In addition, when caring for wooden floors, you should also be careful not to let moisture seep into the wooden floors. For example, the mop should be wrung dry when scrubbing the floor. When mildew spots are found on the surface of the wooden floor, it can be wiped with mild bleach in a 1:3 dilution ratio in time, and then cleaned with a rag.
