The floor is a very important part of home decoration. After the local board is laid, the various furniture can be placed. butMany people are entangled in choosing wood floors and tiles, and don’t know which one is better., It is more suitable for your own furniture style.
So is the decoration better with wooden floors or ceramic tiles? Let me tell you about it next!1. Detailed explanation of the characteristics of wooden floor:
Adjust temperature and humidityThe characteristics of the wood of the wood floor are: the climate is dry, the moisture inside the wood is released; the climate is humid, the wood will absorb moisture in the air.
The wood floor adjusts the air humidity in the room to the most comfortable level for the human body by absorbing and releasing moisture.
A dry climate can easily cause respiratory infections, but if you stay in a place where the humidity is always high for a long time, your health will also be problematic.
German research shows that every 10% increase in indoor humidity will increase the incidence of asthma by 3%. Bacteria also like to stay in places where the relative humidity is above 70%. Wooden floors will automatically absorb moisture in the air when the climate is humid. It can improve the humidity of the room.
Absorb noiseThe wooden floor has the functions of sound absorption, sound insulation, reducing sound pressure, shortening the reverberation time, and reducing noise pollution.
同时,The solid wood floor is moderately hard, rough and slippery, and can play a buffering role, To avoid the danger of falling and hurting the elderly and children.
Not easy to condenseA good wooden floor has the characteristics of non-condensing and non-mold, which can prevent the reproduction of mites and bacteria, and reduce the production of asthma, nose and skin allergies,SimultaneouslySolid wood flooring does not contain microorganisms such as insects(After high temperature and high pressure have killed the insects and pupae in the wood)。
Easy to installTiles have higher requirements for laying, and the installation of wooden floors is relatively simple. When purchasing Shangchen flooring, customers only need to choose the model, and they can enjoy all-round services such as environmental assessment, door-to-door delivery, installation and acceptance, quality tracking, and regular maintenance, saving worry and effort.
Natural environmental protection
Floor wood is the most typical double-green product. It has no pollution source and has an aromatic tincture, which can emit a healthy and soothing aroma. It is very suitable for families with the elderly, children and pregnant women. The wooden floor is made of natural trees and contains less chemical components, which is good for your health. Its annual rings and textures can often constitute a beautiful picture, giving people a feeling of returning to nature and returning to the truth, regardless of the texture, they are unique and widely loved by people. Summary: This mainly refers to solid wood flooring: ①The board has moderate elasticity, which can relieve the weight load of footsteps, has the effect of eliminating fatigue, especially beneficial to the protection of the knee joints of the elderly, and gives people gentle care in the touch; ②Friction The coefficient is large and it is not easy to slip. Even if people accidentally trip on it, the degree of damage is relatively low; ③It can automatically adjust the indoor temperature and humidity to a certain extent to make it warm in winter and cool in summer.2. Detailed explanation of the characteristics of ceramic tiles:
Advantages of polished tiles: The same batch of polished tiles has basically no color difference. It is made of natural stone minerals and has not been sintered at high temperature. Long-term contact will not harm the human body. It is light in weight and strong. Disadvantages: The polished tiles are easy to get dirty and not easy to clean. The surface is very smooth. Once there is water on the ground, you have to be careful when walking, and you may fall down at any time.
Glazed tiles
Advantages of Glazed tiles: The surface color and pattern of the glazed tiles are colorful, and the glaze layer has very good stain resistance. Disadvantages: Since the glazed tiles are composed of two parts: the base embryo and the thinner glaze layer, if the glazed layer is damaged, it will seriously affect the aesthetics and antifouling performance.Vitrified brick
Advantages: Vitrified tiles have bright and soft colors, no color difference, stable performance, strong corrosion resistance and stain resistance.
Disadvantages: Due to the natural formation of vitrified tiles, the material time and degree of weathering are different, resulting in different density and strength. After two years of use, it may lose its luster, rough surface and difficult to clean.
Whole body brick
Advantages: The whole body brick is one of the most cost-effective ones on the market, with rich colors, affordable prices, and good wear resistance and slip resistance.
Disadvantages: Although the full-body bricks are rich in color, the texture is still relatively simple, which cannot satisfy the current consumers who are pursuing individualization.
Antique brick
Advantages: There is a thick layer of glaze on the surface of the antique tiles, which has good anti-fouling performance, good slip resistance, and rich colors. Various shapes can also be made on the tiles. Disadvantages: Because there is a layer of glaze on the surface of antique tiles, it is not easy to do deep processing such as chamfering and edging, and the water absorption rate is higher than that of polished tiles. Summary: Compared with wood floors and other building materials, the advantages of ceramic tiles are not only beautiful, but are mainly reflected in four aspects: ①Durable and long service life, not to mention that it can endure thousands of years, but can also be as long as the building life. It has been used for decades and hundreds of years without any problems; ②Anti-fouling, moisture-proof, high temperature resistance, no fear of oily smoke, water and fire; ③Healthy and environmentally friendly, no worry about formaldehyde; ④Easy to take care of and simple to maintain.
3. Choosing wood floor or ceramic tile depends on five factors
① From the economic point of view: If you leave the brand and grade aside, compare the average price (material cost): solid wood flooring> three-layer solid wood> solid wood multi-layer> bamboo flooring> ceramic tiles> laminate flooring. Such a price order is only the same level. A reference. Of course, it is not absolute. For example, the price of high-end and imported laminate flooring may be higher than that of solid wood. The price of solid wood flooring is generally more than 200 yuan per square meter, plus the total price of keel, skirting, and installation fees will be more than 270 yuan. The better the rarer the wood, the more expensive. The price of three-layer solid wood flooring is generally more than 360 yuan per square meter, free of glue installation, saving time, effort and cost. Ordinary ceramic tiles are generally about 100 yuan per square meter, but the cost of artificially adding auxiliary materials to the tiles is much more expensive than the installation of solid wood flooring.
②From the perspective of safety: the wooden floor is gentle and soft, and the ceramic tile is cold and hard. In case of accidental fall, the impact of falling on the tile or wooden floor is different. In the family, it is common for children to fall and get up wherever they fall, but it hurts their parents. Perhaps this will also become a factor that needs to be considered. For this reason, from a safety perspective, wood flooring wins. Of course, this is on the premise of quality and environmental protection. If it is the formaldehyde toxic floor exposed a few years ago, there is no safety at all. ③From a regional perspective: the winter in the north is cold and dry. Originally, it is reasonable to say that solid wood flooring is good for keeping warm, but this natural warmth is not enough to withstand the cold in the north, so most families in the north will install floor heating. After installing the floor heating system, then paving the wooden floor, although its thermal insulation effect is better, but you can only choose the composite wooden floor. If you lay solid wood floors for a long time, arching will occur due to long-term high-temperature baking; if you stick tiles, you can completely avoid this situation, and if you stick heat tiles, the heating problem will be solved. The south, especially the places back to the south, will always be very humid for a long time. In view of the lack of moisture-proof performance of wooden floors, especially for those southern families who find it difficult to take care of wooden floors, it is a more sensible choice to use ceramic tiles. ④From the perspective of environmental protection: Now many big brand merchants use advanced technology to make and process wood flooring, which is derived from natural wood and does not contain formaldehyde, so there is no harm to the human body. This is also the reason why many families value solid wood flooring. Natural wood itself does not contain formaldehyde, but the quality of paint used by many small manufacturers to make paint boards is not good enough, which will cause the formaldehyde to exceed the standard. Therefore, the reputation of the manufacturer is very important. Floor tiles are inherently radioactive and cause certain harm to the human body. ⑤From the perspective of space: Generally speaking, the porch, living room, aisle and other spaces are suitable for tiling tiles, and the bedrooms are suitable for wooden floors (the floors of kitchens and bathrooms have not seen wooden floors, so we don’t need to discuss them here).
