Knowing types of wood floors
Wood floors have a high aesthetic value
and comfort better than the floor of the type of stone. Basically, according
to the type of material for wood floors there are 2 types of wood floors are
Solid hardwood (solid wood) and engineered hardwood (made of wood). Form of
wood floors can be a strip wood: the tongue groove, plank: consisting of 3
wide strips as well, or parquet: a wooden floor structure that forms a
specific motif.
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Form of solid wood shaped like plank with a thickness of about 18mm.
Standard models are groove and tongue on the side. Some manufacturers
sometimes produce with thickness up to 10mm. Advantages of these materials
are the possibility to re sandpaper after using for some time. This type of
wood floor average without finishing or only basic finishing for final
finishing process will be done when the wood floors have been installed.
Wood floors have finished usually on the basis of tongue & groove made bevel
small. The main issue on the floor of Solid Hardwood Flooring is the
possibility of developing shrinkage, is because 100% made of solid wood. For
that in installation process always remained few millimeters at meeting wood
floors with a wall which will be covered with a plinth floor. Installation
of solid wood floors are thin, easy to do with staples or glue, while the
wooden floor with a thickness of 18 mm must use a special tool (nail).
Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Construction of this type of wood floor is similar to the construction of
plywood (artificial board). Consists of several layers of wood are arranged
transversely between each layer. This type of wood floors can be installed
directly on the floor, but leveling the floor should be better. It could
also be applied on the concrete floor. Material thickness is usually 15mm
and has finished until the end layer. The advantage of engineered hardwood
flooring than solid wood flooring is the ease installation and can be
installed almost everywhere in the room of your home. Types of finishing for
the floor type is usually kind of UV, the type of finishing material is
dried with ultraviolet light so that the floor surface hardness better than
ordinary wood floor types. Beside that because of have finished first, then
the installation will be cleaner and faster. Type of wood for top layer
engineered wood flooring can be from a variety of hard wood with the
coatings way different. These ways such as by thin vinir, thin sheets of
wood peeled with a knife or a sheet produced from the saw. Installing this
type of wood floors using the system floating or gluing with glue, depending
on the type of flooring will be installed wood floors. The system floating
allows for installed above the concrete floor, which on average do not have
too much difference in height or is applied over the tiled floor.
