How to choose cork floor

First, look at the surface sanding surface is not very smooth, there are no bulging particles, cork particles are pure, this is the first step in the selection of cork flooring, is also a very important step.

Second, look at whether the side length of the cork floor is straight, the method is: take 4 pieces of the same floor, spread on the glass or on a relatively flat ground, and assemble it to see if it is seamed.

Third, check the bending strength of the board surface, the method is to close the two diagonal lines of the floor to see if there is crack on the curved surface, and no crack is a quality product.

Fourth, the inspection of the bonding strength. The method is to put a small piece of the pattern into the boiling water bubble, and find that the smooth surface of the sanding becomes a suede, and the uneven surface, the product is a non-conforming product, and the quality product should have no obvious change when it encounters the surface of the boiling water.

Fifth, look at the brand, this is mainly the brand development history and strength, etc. Generally good cork flooring brands must meet some testing standards, and the development history must be at least several decades.

Sixth, look at the material, the cork flooring is made of oak bark, commonly known as cork oak. Cork is generally 4 to 5 cm thick, and high-quality cork can be 8 to 9 cm thick. Cork is an extremely rare material. Bark can only be peeled off when the cork is 25 years old, and every 9 years thereafter. Peeling once, even if it is well-maintained, a tree is stripped about 10 times, so it is very environmentally friendly.

Seven, look at the function, good cork flooring with moisture, anti-slip, wear-resistant, anti-static, sound-absorbing, flame retardant, thermal insulation, soft and elastic, etc. more than 10 natural advantages, forming the most solid functional system of environmentally friendly and healthy flooring.

The material used in cork flooring is the same as that of wine or champagne cork. This material is still non-toxic and edible after contact with wine for a long time. It shows that its environmental performance is extraordinary, so it is evaluated. For “the healthiest floor in history.”

Eight, look at the color: the quality of the cork floor is to see if more cork is used. The cork bark is divided into several levels: the outermost surface is the black skin, which is also the hardest part. The black skin is white or light yellow under the black skin. It is very soft and is the essence of cork. If the cork flooring is made more of the essence of cork, the quality will be higher. Of course, since the floor is subject to weight and pressure, it is also normal to use black skin on the floor backboard, which improves the impact resistance.

Nine, see density: Cork floor density is divided into three levels: 400-450 kg / cubic meter; 450-500 kg / cubic meter; greater than 500 kg / cubic meter. Generally, 400-450 kg/m3 is enough for households. If there are heavy objects in the room, you can choose a slightly higher one. In short, you can choose a floor with low density and try to choose a small density because it has better elasticity, heat preservation and sound absorption. Vibration absorption.
