My home is being renovated for the second time. For the first time, the home was covered with tiles and wooden floors. However, this time my husband insisted on not laying tiles and floors, and I did not agree. After moving in: pain and happiness!

The decoration is not paved with tiles and wooden floors, how is the floor decorated?

Share in this issue: a new way to decorate the floor. The text is divided into three parts: what is not tiled and wooden floors are laid? Why do you say: After moving in, it hurts and is happy? What do you need to pay attention to when cork flooring?

What do you do without tiled wooden floors?

Some people may be curious: the ground decoration is not paved with tiles or floors, so what is paved?

For this renovation of my house, my husband insisted on laying a decoration material called cork flooring. Many people may not know, what exactly is cork flooring?

Cork flooring

Cork flooring is a kind of floor decoration pavement material made of natural cork (cork oak bark) as raw materials.

The production process is probably, unfamiliar to us, is to use a cork oak also called cork oak bark bark. The bark of this kind of tree, after being harvested and peeled, can grow again, and it is amazing.

This time, you can understand that this cork floor is actually a type of flooring made of tree bark.

I hadn't heard of it before, and it wasn't until this renovation that my husband insisted on using this cork floor, so I went out of my way to find out.

Why do you say: After moving in, it hurts and is happy?

Why do you say that you have cork floors, and after moving in, you are in pain and happy?

This is also what I want to share with you about the use of this kind of floor, you must figure it out, don't blindly follow the trend of installation.

01 Sources of pain

The reason why I feel pain after moving in with cork flooring is actually heartache.

Why does it hurt to have cork flooring on the home floor? It is due to the following reasons.

The surface is scratched, and I look at it with heartache. This also shows that this cork floor is not particularly abrasion-resistant, and if there are sharp objects, it is easy to scratch the surface. If you have a sweeping robot at home, you must be cautious.

The price also sounds heart-wrenching. The materials and processes for the production of cork flooring are relatively special. The price is higher than ordinary wooden flooring.

After getting damp, it hurts even more. This kind of cork floor is easy to deform when damp, and you must not use a wet rag to drag it directly, and the deformation will be troublesome.

It's been about a year since I moved in, and this cork floor really hurts my heart: it's good-looking, but there are a lot of places that don't fit.

Suggestion:

It is recommended that you do not blindly choose cork flooring. The first floor of the house is damp, try not to use it. For the living room or the hallway, these places where there is often friction, do not use it. After using it, it really hurts.

02 Sources of Happiness

After laying cork floors, there is a reason why I say that I am happy.

I was amazed when I stepped barefoot on the cork floor just after the renovation! The foot feel is really very comfortable, elastic, and can relieve pressure to a certain extent. Especially for those who like to practice yoga, this kind of flooring is really preferred.

The whole room seemed quieter. I took a special look and the cork floor is a hollow structure that absorbs noise. The item falls on the floor with a quiet sound.

One of the happiest things for me is that it has a certain effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer. It's really a great feature.

Moreover, it is very non-slip. The surface friction coefficient is very high, and the family has children who like to run around, this cork flooring is the best choice.

Last but not least, after laying the cork floors, I also measured my home for contaminants. With almost zero pollution and no formaldehyde, this material is fully compliant with green home standards.

Suggestion:

In pursuit of foot feeling, there is not much ground friction at ordinary times, like a children's bedroom, cork flooring is really a good choice. It will bring a very good living experience, you can try it!

What do you need to pay attention to when cork flooring?

Cork flooring, must not be blind, good is good, however, the disadvantages are also obvious. As a person who has come over, I have used it for a while, and I have a very deep feeling.

01 Applicable scenarios should be clearly distinguished

Like bedrooms and dens, great for cork floors, quiet, also soft and also very comfortable. The children's room is also very suitable and can also prevent children from falling. The elderly room is also a good choice.

02 Attention to different types

Cork flooring, there are two categories. Pure cork flooring, inside is cork particles, thickness 5~0 mm, to use glue paving, good texture, low wear resistance. The other is corked parquet, which is made of cork on the upper and lower floors and solid wood in the middle.

03 Maintenance Issues

Cork floors, pay attention to daily cleaning. Do not mop the floor with water, and maintain it regularly. Generally, it is necessary to apply special water paint or wax in two or three years, and also do a good job of moisture-proof treatment, which is relatively troublesome.

04 Select Questions

Cork wood flooring, to choose the kind of high-density cork flooring that rebounds quickly after pressing, that is, high-density cork flooring, the effect is better. When choosing, smell the smell, a good cork floor is free of chemical smells.

Finally, look at certifications, such as environmental certifications. It is also necessary to understand the process, and the composite cork floor should be UV painted, which will be more wear-resistant.
