What kind of living room floor tile is better?
The choice of living room floor tile is nothing more than the choice of wooden floor or ceramic tile. Next, Bian Xiao will tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of laying wooden floors and tiles in the living room, so as to facilitate you to buy floor tiles.
First of all, in terms of environmental protection and safety
1, the floor is poor in environmental protection.
It is an indisputable fact that formaldehyde is released from both laminate flooring and solid wood flooring. Formaldehyde is a strong carcinogen, especially for pregnant women and children. Now people in the city are "not afraid of fakes and formaldehyde". Here we need to know two things:
① Formaldehyde is released from E1and E0 floors, but it is harmful to human health, especially for children who like to crawl and play on the floor.
We often say that formaldehyde release refers to the release from the outer surface of the floor, not from the inside of the floor. The formaldehyde content inside the floor is higher, and because we have to cut the floor to adapt to different ground conditions when installing the floor, it will increase the actual formaldehyde release from the floor.
2. This kind of floor tile has high environmental protection.
Although floor tiles are naturally radioactive and harmful to human body, most of them have reached the scope of national health standards in recent years. Moreover, it is difficult for us to touch highly radioactive floor tiles, so the probability of illness is not high.
Second, in the construction technology
1, the floor is more worry-free, labor-saving and money-saving.
The construction technology of the floor is unchanged, and there is a unified technical standard. As long as you choose a variety of colors, floor enthusiasts will generally pack a bag to the end, giving away all accessories, home delivery, installation, after-sales maintenance and so on, which is basically a one-stop service, which is more worry-free and labor-saving. Of course, there are also some brands, in addition to accessories and construction costs.
2, floor tiles are more worry-free, laborious and expensive.
For floor tiles, we should not only consider their color and variety, but also consider whether their size can basically match the ground without ugly narrow bricks. At the same time, we should add sand cement ourselves and hire workers to carry out the construction (this is also one of the reasons why the construction team likes to recommend the use of floor tiles because of the money). In addition, large floor tiles have higher requirements for laying and higher wage costs. Of course, the overall effect of large floor tiles will be better; The laying requirements and wages of small floor tiles are relatively low, and the overall effect is also poor.
Third, in the use of functions.
1, used for visual senses
The color and softness of the floor are excellent, giving people a very good affinity. Floor tiles give people a stiff feeling;
2, for thermal insulation performance
Floor has advantages in indoor temperature insulation, while floor tiles have relatively poor thermal insulation performance because of their fast heat conduction. Especially in the spring or autumn when there is no heating but near winter and no heating, the whole ground will feel very cold and uncomfortable. If the house is located in the north, the situation will be more serious.
3, for personal protection
In families with children and the elderly, because children are naughty and active, and the elderly are inconvenient to move, it is easy to have small family accidents, so the damage of floor tiles to the elderly and children is undoubtedly much more serious than that of the floor.
4, cleaning and maintenance
For the current floor and floor tiles, because the floor area is the same, the cleaning time, energy and effect of ordinary cleaning (such as cleaning dust, oil stains and water stains) are the same. However, because there are cracks in the floor, oil stains and water marks can enter the cracks in the floor, so the damage to the floor is more serious, but there is almost no damage to the floor tiles.
5, psychological induction
Because most office floors are floor tiles, outdoor sidewalk floors are generally floor tiles, but because of the different functions and dosage, there are differences in quality, workmanship and materials. Many urbanites surrounded by floor tiles want their small homes to be different, so they spread the floor.
Fourth, on the basis of materials.
1, the floor is more complicated.
The material of solid wood flooring is very complicated. According to incomplete statistics, there are hundreds of species with different origins, including South American countries such as Brazil and Argentina, South Asian countries such as Malaysia, and countries such as Northern Europe. Of course, the material of laminate flooring is relatively simple.
2. Floor tiles are relatively simple.
The material of floor tiles is close, and the composition of tiles in different places is similar, so there will be no problem of regional adaptability, which is a good choice.
Five, in the decoration design
1, the floor is slightly single.
The floor is weaker than the floor tile in color and style, so it is not easy to produce special effects. Of course, the colors and varieties of floors are constantly changing, such as hand-scratched floors, fitness floors and personalized floors. , but it has not been widely used.
2. Rich floor tiles.
The variety of floor tiles is complete, the colors are bright, the patterns are diverse, and the specifications are different, which gives designers a lot of room to play and makes it easier to achieve the design effect.
Sixth, in the process of abandonment and replacement.
1, the floor is easier.
When you need to redecorate or want to change another floor or floor tile, the floor replacement is very easy, and the glue-free floor can be reused.
2. Floor tiles are labor-intensive and wasteful.
If it is not so easy to replace the floor, you will occupy the height of the room if you don't remove the original floor tiles, and it will be very time-consuming and laborious for you to remove them, even more difficult than laying floor tiles.
