How to distinguish between cork flooring and solid wood flooring?

Wine cork should be the most familiar cork product. Corrugated wallboards for wall decoration can be seen in malls and bars. In ordinary people's homes, such wallboards are used as themed walls or entrances behind televisions. For music enthusiasts, cork is the best soundproofing and sound-absorbing material. Cork as a floor, through comparison with solid wood flooring, can see its unique natural and environmental characteristics.

First, environmental protection Compared with solid wood flooring, cork flooring is more environmentally friendly. 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.

Second, moisture resistance Compared to solid wood flooring, cork flooring moisture resistance will be better. 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.

Third, the cork floor feels comfortable. Observed under a microscope, the cork is composed of a large number of cork cells arranged in a honeycomb shape. The cells are filled with air. This special structure and composition make the cork flooring with soft, flexible properties, flexible and compressive resistance. The effect is that even if a particularly heavy piece of furniture is pressed to form a slight 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.

Fourth, wear-resistant cork cell structure 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.

Fifth, cork flooring with flame-retardant cork has good flame retardant, will naturally extinguish after leaving the fire source.

Six, cork is not afraid of insects As we all know, solid wood products are most afraid of 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.
