The most "quiet" and "green" floor cracked cork flooring 3 big doubt

While hardwood flooring and solid wood flooring have won the favor of Chinese consumers, another type of wood floor has quietly entered people's sights. It is known as "the most environmentally friendly flooring material" and "the quietest floor" of cork flooring.
"Like a wine bottle stopper!" This is the first impression people have of cork flooring. Since it can be used as a bottle stopper, it should be a very healthy material. Therefore, cork flooring has won a favor of some consumers. The elastic foot feeling, super-quietness, and environmental protection naturally become the first choice for a healthy floor. However, precisely because of the above characteristics, there has been considerable doubt about the use of cork as a flooring material: Does it have sufficient wear resistance? Will it be pressed out of the pit by heavy furniture? Is it prone to moisture deformation? Will there be insects? Is it easier to clean and care? With a series of questions, the reporter visited the cork factory and the forest on the spot and probed the cork flooring.
Question one: Can cork flooring withstand the friction of home life?
When purchasing ground materials, people habitually use sandpaper and some sharp things to rub the surface of the floor material to judge its wear resistance. At the Amerlin Cork Flooring Plant in Portugal, the reporter also conducted experiments according to this method. As a result, it was found that the surface of the cork floor covering the wear-resistant materials such as ceramic paint (Vichol Cork Flooring patented technology) did not leave any traces of friction. In this regard, floor experts explained that after covering different grades of wear-resistant layers, the cork flooring's surface abrasion resistance is sufficient to withstand the normal friction in modern home life or public places.
When people hear "cork", people are naturally misled by their names. According to the experts of wooden flooring, the "softness" of cork is not to say that it is not strong. On the contrary, due to the progress of modern processing technology, cork flooring is not only strong and keeps its appearance. The softness and elasticity of the foot, and the fact that the elderly children will not fall down, is the biggest advantage of cork flooring. In addition, the "China Practical Guide to Wood Flooring" records that, as early as 1932, cork flooring was placed in the original ancient book library in Beijing, and after more than 70 years is still intact, it can be said that the wear resistance and durability of cork flooring , is to stand the test of time.
In addition, many consumers also asked: “Will the heavy furniture put the cork flooring out of the pit?†In response, the cork expert explained that if the furniture legs touch the ground, the area is small and the furniture is heavy. It is true that there is a possibility of local depressions in cork flooring, but due to the special cellular structure of cork itself, it has the ability to restore the original shape after compression, so that when the furniture is removed for a period of time, the depression will gradually return to leveling. In addition, padding can be added to the legs of the furniture to reduce the pressure to avoid the above situation.
Specialist doubts: Qualified cork flooring has high-strength wear resistance, very good resistance to wheelchair and wheeled furniture friction performance, but also has a good resistance to oppression and recovery performance.
Question two: Cork has a small airbag, so it is easily deformed by moisture?
Because cork flooring does not look so dense, people are still skeptical about this natural "soft" material. Will it be easily deformed by moisture or filth?
At the Amorim company's cork factory in Portugal, the reporter observed that the cork flooring production process is very rigorous. The cork bark undergoes a series of “experience†processes before being processed into flooring: breaking, screening, filtering, stirring, and heat Pressing, curing, veneering, etc., in which the hot press forming process makes the granular cork material form a stable and balanced whole. Although the cork is born with a tiny air bag, the treated cork has become a pure cork particle, followed by An artificial hot-pressing method is rearranged together to form a new structural system. For the outside, it is completely dense and closed, does not seep through the oil, and the cork flooring that achieves a certain moisture content is not easily deformed by moisture, and even less. It will filth. In addition, cork flooring that has undergone special surface treatment can also be used in wet spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Experts' doubts: Cork is naturally impervious to liquids. Cork flooring is a product that has undergone heat-pressing and other processes. The surface is complete and closed, and it is not susceptible to moisture deformation and does not contain filth. The presence of approximately 40 million tiny airbags per cubic centimeter makes cork a natural insulator, 50% of which has good thermal insulation.
Question 3: Although the cork flooring is close to nature, the foot feels warm, but is it easy to breed bacteria?
The worms are completely misunderstood by people for cork flooring. When asked about the problem of not giving birth to insects to the technicians of the cork factory, they said that it was “absolutely impossible†and this confusion arises because in terms of visual effects, cork flooring or cork wallboards achieve a particularly natural texture. Therefore, consumers who do not understand the production process are worried that it will be worms.
Due to specific processing procedures, the cork material enters the factory from the forest and undergoes a series of cleaning and heat-pressing treatments. Finally, the high-density fiberboard is affixed together, and the cork skin and the insulating cork layer are attached to form a finished cork floor. Therefore, a piece of cork flooring, although it still looks natural and natural, it already possesses the industrious personality given to it by technology and technology to meet the needs of use.
Specialist doubts: The texture and texture of the cork floor surface is determined by the process of processing the softwood bark. It is close to nature and has a stable performance. The cork flooring has not been proven to breed mildew, and it will not cause insects, and will not cause human body damage. Any allergic reaction.
