Way of using bamboo

Detailed knowledge of bamboo flooring


Flooring includes solid wood flooring, solid wood composite, laminate flooring, cork flooring and bamboo flooring. Why choose bamboo flooring for so many floorings? Let us first understand the basic knowledge of bamboo flooring.

1. The production process of bamboo flooring

Bamboo flooring generally uses moso bamboo with a bamboo age of more than 5 years as raw materials. After cutting, punching, primary planing, cooking, bleaching or carbonization, drying, fine planing, screening, gluing and repressing, cutting heads, color inspection, color separation, and repair The edges and trimming are made by more than 20 processes, such as the mother tenon, remove the empty end, sanding, tenoning, and painting.

The bamboo floor is composed of four main parts. The top layer is a wear-resistant layer of aluminum oxide, which mainly protects the surface of the bamboo; the second layer is the surface of the bamboo floor, which is pressed by raw bamboo to retain the original bamboo texture; the third layer is the base material The layer is generally made of bamboo or wood crushed under high pressure, which is low-carbon and environmentally friendly; the bottom layer is the backboard balance layer, which can effectively prevent the floor from deformation and avoid the corrosion of the cement.


Two, classification

According to the surface structure, bamboo flooring can be divided into three categories: radial bamboo flooring, lateral pressure and string surface bamboo flooring, flat pressure and restructuring bamboo flooring. According to the processing method of bamboo flooring, it can be divided into natural bamboo flooring and carbonized bamboo flooring. The natural color bamboo floor maintains the original color of the bamboo, and the bamboo strips of the carbonized bamboo floor must undergo high temperature and high pressure carbonization treatment to deepen the color of the bamboo and make the color of the bamboo uniform.


Three, advantages and disadvantages

advantage:

Disadvantages: The bamboo floor is essentially made of multi-layer composite paste and pressed. Due to the different adhesives used by different manufacturers, it may fall off. Because its bamboo is a natural profile, it will also be deformed due to changes in climate and humidity. In addition, bamboo and wood floors should be avoided from sunlight and rain, and should be wiped dry in time if they encounter water.

Three ways to install bamboo flooring


There are many details to pay attention to the installation of bamboo flooring. Pay attention to the preparation work before installation. The installation should be of good size, pay attention to the method and steps, and the precautions of the prevailing dragon skeleton installation method. Installation and precautions.


1. Dragon skeleton installation method

The bamboo floor adopts the scientific dragon frame installation method, which is in line with the physical characteristics of the bamboo floor, and fully considers the expansion and contraction factors of the cement floor and the bamboo floor. The bamboo floor is spliced ​​together on all four sides without bonding with the ground. It is around the wall. Leave certain expansion joints (safety joints) and cover the joints with feet to maintain the overall beauty of the floor, and leave space for the bamboo floor to shrink so that the bamboo floor will not bend and bulge.

1. Measure the size and use materials reasonably. All cut-off panels must be sealed with varnish to prevent moisture.

2. When starting to lay the bamboo floor, put the Chinese fir (1.2×1.2cm) at the root of the surrounding wall and start the paving longitudinally. The grooved surface of the first piece of bamboo floor is close to the cedar, and then press the grooved surface of the grooved surface to tap the grooves and spread them tightly. The roots of the horizontal wall should be cut by short slabs that need to be cut according to the length of the room. The bamboo floor is laid in staggered joints.

3. After the overall installation of the bamboo floor is completed, take out the fir boards around the stem roots.

4. Use a whole piece of floor corner board around the wall root to cover the expansion joint. Use wood screws or bamboo sticks to install the corner board on the wall. The wood screws or bamboo sticks can be painted with light-colored paint (or varnish). Finally, the flat surface of the corner board is decorated with wood thread of the same thickness.


2. Suspended installation method

Suspended installation method, no need to hit the dragon frame, no flat board, no glue, no nailing, no sanding, no painting (each bamboo floor has been fully enclosed with imported UV paint on six sides, and the surface has formed a solid Wear-resistant layer), saving time, labor, materials, and money (the cost of paving materials is only one-third of the cost of paving wooden floors), and it is easy to disassemble and assemble.


Three, fixed installation method

Smooth, dry and clean the installation ground. Spread a layer of oil blanket or moisture-proof paper on the ground, and fix the ordinary long strips (keels) on the cement floor. The distance between the keels is generally 30cm. Spread 1cm plywood on the wooden strips and fix them, then pave the bamboo floor on the plywood, and use a little iron binding on the joints. The cut-off part of the bamboo and bamboo floor should be cleaned of oil to avoid re-moisture. Leave 1-1.5cm expansion joints on the periphery of the floor and install anchoring lines.

Choosing bamboo

Teach you to buy high-quality bamboo flooring


Bamboo flooring made of environmentally-friendly natural materials appears frequently in home decoration. After grasping some of the advantages and disadvantages of bamboo flooring, we will summarize how to buy bamboo flooring according to the characteristics of wooden flooring.

Take a look at the common dimensions of bamboo flooring

The specifications and sizes of bamboo flooring on the market are relatively long. The conventional dimensions of bamboo flooring mainly include 15*90*909mm, 15*96*960mm, 15*96*1850mm/1920mm, 15*190*1900mm. When purchasing, you should not blindly pursue large-size and large-size bamboo flooring. Generally speaking, the smaller the size of the floor, the better the resistance to deformation.


Second look at the moisture content of bamboo flooring

The moisture content affects the service life of bamboo flooring. Generally, the moisture content of the floor should be controlled within 8%. However, due to the different humidity in different places, there are also certain differences in the moisture content standards for purchasing bamboo flooring, so we must pay attention to the local adaptability of the moisture content. At present, there are many untreated and shoddy bamboo flooring on the market. It is extremely susceptible to moisture and moisture. After a period of installation, the floor will become black, lose its luster, shrink and deform. It should be carefully identified when purchasing.


Three look at the wear resistance of bamboo flooring

The bamboo floor wear-resisting revolution reaches 550 revolutions to be qualified. The main factor that determines the number of wear-resistant revolutions is the coating amount of wear-resistant primer. Although the abrasion resistance of most bamboo flooring is not as good as that of laminate flooring up to 6000 rpm, it is still better than solid wood flooring.


Four look at the formaldehyde emission of bamboo flooring

Like wood flooring, the most important thing to buy bamboo flooring is to see whether its formaldehyde emission indicators are qualified. The national standard E1 grade product's formaldehyde emission limit is less than 1.5mg/L, which is an indicator that we must understand before buying.
