The difference between cork flooring and solid wood flooring

Introduction: Cork flooring is referred to as "consumption of the pyramid on the floor". Compared with solid wood flooring, it is more environmentally friendly, wear-resistant, moisture-proof, non-slip, flame-retardant, and moth-proof, giving people an excellent foot feeling and absorbing noise.

Cork floors are known as "consumption on the pyramid's tip of the floor." Compared with solid wood flooring, it is more environmentally friendly, wear-resistant, moisture-proof, non-slip, flame-retardant, and moth-proof, giving people an excellent foot feeling and absorbing noise. Cork flooring can be divided into adhesive cork flooring and lock-in cork flooring. Cork flooring can be made into different patterns from different colors of different tree species. For example, the logo of each home field on the NBA court is different. Cork flooring has a strong market in China.

1, the environmental protection of cork flooring

First, after the cork floors are drawn from the barks of the oak tree, the trees will continue to grow new bark without any damage to the trees. Solid wood flooring requires the cost of cutting trees. Secondly, the cork material itself is non-toxic and harmless. This can be confirmed by the fact that wines and champagne wine corks, which are widely used in cork, are soaked in liquors that people drink directly, without causing any pollution to the wine.

2, the wear resistance of cork flooring

The cellular structure of cork determines that he is more wear-resistant than solid wood flooring. Cork is made up of numerous airbags and numerous small suction cups are formed on the surface. When the foot touches the ground, the cork floor will slightly absorb the footsteps on the ground, reducing the relative displacement between the footsteps and the floor, reducing the friction and extending the length. The wear-resistance time and service life of the floor are just wear-resistance performances of the cork flooring of the surface paint surface, and the wear-resistant rotation of the cork floor with the resin wear-resistant layer is 6,000 to 7000 rpm. Ten times more than the floor.

3, moisture resistance of cork flooring

Compared with solid wood flooring, cork flooring will have better moisture resistance. Solid wood flooring is very afraid of moisture, and humidity can cause warping and deformation. If the water is not wicked down for a long period of time, the floor will rot when the time is long. Cork flooring, on the other hand, will not rot. This can be answered by the performance of cork barrels and corks in a century-old cellar. After a strict pavement, it can even be laid in the bathroom.

4, flame retardant cork flooring

Cork has good flame retardancy and will naturally extinguish after leaving fire.

5, slippery cork flooring

In general, the anti-skid property of cork flooring is its greatest feature compared to other floorings. The slip coefficient of cork flooring is 6, and it is difficult for old people to walk on the top, which increases the safety of use.

6, the cork floor of the flood control

As we all know, solid wood products are the most feared insects, especially in the wet climate in the south, even more so. However, insects are not interested in the taste of cork. Therefore, even in cold and humid wine cellars, wine bottles are stored upside down and there are no cork stoppers.

7, the cork floor feels comfortable

Observed under the microscope, the cork is composed of a large number of cork cells arranged in a honeycomb shape, and the cells are filled with air. This special structure and composition make the cork flooring have characteristics of soft and flexible, flexible and compressive resistance. The effect is that even if a particularly heavy piece of furniture is pressed to form a small indentation on it, it can be restored to its original shape after the weight has been removed. And this special honeycomb structure forms a noise-reducing attraction function and a warm comfortable foot.

8, cork flooring can absorb noise

Cork flooring is recognized as a quiet floor in the industry. Cork is soft and feels as if a person is walking on the beach. This piece is mainly from the structural point of view, because the cork itself is a polyhedral structure, like a honeycomb, full of air, 50% is air, people feel stepped on the air after the 50% above, very soft.
