WPC floor board solves the pain points of solid wood flooring, and its practical value is fully demonstrated.
Solid wood flooring has always been a popular choice for decoration due to its natural texture and warm texture, but its "delicate" nature is a headache for people - it is afraid of water and moisture, is not wear-resistant, and requires laborious maintenance. There are also environmental disputes and cost issues. Today, WPC floor board is gradually becoming popular because it accurately solves these pain points.
Solid wood flooring is particularly "delicate" in a humid environment. The floor near the bathroom door and kitchen may deform and mold in a few years; daily bumps are also easy to leave marks, and the average lifespan is only 8-10 years. WPC floor board is different. It is made of wood fiber and plastic pressed at high temperature, and it is naturally non-absorbent and moisture-proof. A family's basement is paved with WPC floor board , which has not deformed or molded for more than five years in a perennial humid environment. It is also not easy to attract insects, has a high surface hardness, and is 3-5 times more wear-resistant than solid wood. The marks left by furniture moving and children playing are much shallower, and the service life can easily reach more than 15 years, greatly reducing the trouble and cost of replacement.
Maintaining solid wood flooring is a "protracted war". It needs to be waxed, oiled and polished regularly, and it needs to be carefully avoided when cleaning, which is both time-consuming and expensive. WPC floor board is much easier to worry about. It can be wiped with clean water or neutral detergent on a daily basis, saving a lot of maintenance work. The difference in installation is also obvious. Solid wood flooring has strict requirements on the flatness and humidity of the ground. If the craftsmanship is not in place, it is easy to arch; WPC floor board weighs only 2-3 kilograms per square meter, and uses lock-type splicing, which has low requirements for the ground foundation. The construction master said that the efficiency of laying can be increased by more than 30%.
In terms of environmental protection and economic accounts, solid wood flooring is even less advantageous. It consumes 0.05-0.1 cubic meters of wood per square meter, which aggravates forest consumption. Some products also have formaldehyde risks due to adhesives. Not to mention the unit price of 150-500 yuan/㎡, there is also a maintenance fee of 5-10 yuan/㎡ every year. WPC floor board uses wood waste and recycled plastic as raw materials to achieve resource recycling. The production adopts physical pressing, no adhesive is used, and the surface is coated with environmentally friendly UV. The formaldehyde emission is far lower than the national standard, and some products can achieve "zero formaldehyde". The unit price of 80-200 yuan/㎡ plus almost zero maintenance fee, combined with the ultra-long service life, has obvious long-term cost-effectiveness.
In the past, people were worried that the texture of WPC floor board was not as good as solid wood, but now this problem has been overcome by technology. Through wood grain transfer, 3D printing and other processes, the texture of solid wood such as oak and walnut can be highly restored, and the clarity and layering are close to solid wood. After the formula is optimized, it can also present the bumpy touch of natural wood, the color can be customized, and with the protection of the wear-resistant layer, the appearance can be kept as new for a long time, meeting the aesthetic needs of most people for wooden style. Solid wood flooring can usually only be used in dry rooms, but WPC floor board breaks this limitation with its advantages of water resistance and corrosion resistance. It can be used not only in living rooms and bedrooms, but also in humid areas such as balconies and bathrooms, and even outdoor courtyards and park plank roads, with a much wider range of application scenarios.
In general, WPC floor board has solved the problems of solid wood flooring in terms of environmental adaptability, maintenance and installation, environmental protection and economy. Its appearance and texture are not inferior, and its practicality is super strong. No wonder more and more people give priority to it when decorating.
