What are the advantages and disadvantages of birch flooring? How to choose the wooden floor?

In China, birch trees are distributed all over the country, and they can be seen everywhere! But what do we know about it? 1, Advantages Because it is a popular tree species and rich in resources, floors made of it are generally cheaper. Birch is light in color and can be processed in many ways. The processed birch floor is generally clear and natural in color, which is very versatile. 2. Disadvantages birch wood is soft and not strong. Therefore, if only birch is used as raw material, the wear resistance of birch floor will be almost poor. Therefore, domestic flooring manufacturers generally adopt the method of composite flooring, such as birch as the core layer or surface layer of the floor. This not only solves the weakness of birch, but also reduces the material cost. How to choose the wood floor: 1, texture: it is the standard to judge the quality of the floor. Regular texture, beautiful and generous. Don't choose those floors with messy textures. 2, color: high-quality solid wood floor should have natural color, clear wood grain, visible materials. If the surface color of the floor is dark and the paint layer is thick, it may be intended to cover up the surface defects of the floor, especially when the floor is painted on six sides. 3, cracks: cracks in the middle and low-grade floor are inevitable, but it is not good if it is too big. There are some cracks between the textures of wood, which will not extend and can be used safely. But some cracks will penetrate the texture, so don't buy them, because these cracks will extend and have a great negative impact on the future. 4. Knot: Knot, divided into slipknot and dead knot. As a natural product, it is impossible to have joints. Reasonable joint distribution will make wood products more beautiful. Excellent products are not allowed to have defective knots. According to national regulations, any slipknot with a diameter of ≤3mm and a dead knot with a diameter of ≤2mm that does not fall off are not considered as defective knots. In addition, some floors are tree core materials and materials close to bark, so be careful of the classification and price tag of merchants. Some floors are made of wood that has been eaten by a lot of insects, so there are many insect eyes. The wood of this kind of floor is not very good, so be careful when buying it, except for the antique handmade solid wood floor. The above is some sharing about the floor, I hope it will help you! Dear recognition is my greatest motivation!
