WPC floor specifications
WPC floor specifications can be customized at will. Common WPC floor specifications include dozens of specifications such as PA140*25, PA145*30, PA135*25, PA125*25, etc. The commonly used matching WPC keel specifications are 2000*40*25 (length*width*thickness, unit: mm).
The laying directions of WPC floor and WPC keel are perpendicular to each other. The laying distance between two WPC keels is generally between 350mm-400mm to ensure that there is WPC keel support at the longitudinal joint when WPC floor is laid.

Adding large core board during laying
The quality of large core board varies greatly, and inferior large core board will affect the laying quality of WPC floorboard.
Therefore, if consumers must seek too high foot feel, they should choose the best large core board products sold on the market. Only focus on purchase, not installation Wood plastic flooring has direct pasting method, keel laying method, and suspended laying method.
No matter which one, you must choose a good construction team and adhere to the "six no laying", that is, the wall is wet and leaking, the ground is not dry and uneven, it is not laid; mixed construction is not laid; inferior auxiliary materials are not laid; the construction period is too urgent and the process cannot be carried out; if the product has quality problems, it is not laid; it is required to be flat and color-free.
Not paying attention to daily maintenance Some consumers think that wood plastic flooring does not need to be too carefully maintained. They use mops to clean the floor directly and do not pay attention to the dripping of heating.
As a result, the floor product is prone to discoloration, deformation, cracks and other problems. When using wooden flooring, you must regularly maintain the floor according to the manufacturer's requirements. Wood plastic flooring is not environmentally friendly Some consumers believe that natural wood contains a certain amount of formaldehyde, and the formaldehyde content in oak solid wood composite flooring is high due to the multi-layer gluing between the veneers, which is not environmentally friendly.
In fact, as long as the formaldehyde emission of wood plastic flooring is controlled within the scope specified by national standards, it can be used with confidence. Sales and installation are separated Wood plastic flooring brand manufacturers usually have professional installation teams or professional installation processes to ensure the installation of products for sale. If consumers encounter sales and installation that are not in the same unit, they should pay attention.
Once problems arise in the future, it will be very troublesome. Therefore, consumers should strive to unify sales and installation. Pursue plain boards instead of paint boards Some consumers think that plain boards are genuine wood plastic floors, and the price is low.
They can also save part of the processing fee by temporarily spending money on paint, but they don’t know that their own paint may cause the floor to be polluted and the quality of the paint cannot be guaranteed. The paint board is operated by the manufacturer through a mechanized and highly automated production line, which greatly reduces pollution and makes the product more environmentally friendly.
Too much pursuit of texture uniformity Wood plastic flooring is a natural wood product. The color of tree wood varies due to light, environment and other factors.
Even if the boards are cut from the same wood, the color depth and wood texture will not be the same due to the different cutting positions, so the wood plastic floor objectively has the signs of color difference and uneven pattern, which is really a natural phenomenon.
Tips for purchasing wood plastic floor Surface Good wood plastic floor is smooth and shiny on both the surface and the side, the wood powder particles are small and uniform in size, there are no small cracks, and the cut surface texture is tight.
Packaging Export pallet packaging or plastic sealing, nylon bag packaging.
Price The cost of plastic wood floor is slightly higher than other ordinary floors. The prices of different brands of wood plastic floor are different.
The price of wood plastic floor is calculated per piece. The price of wood plastic floor in the market is about US$28.6-42.86 per square meter.
Brand It is not easy to distinguish the quality of wood plastic floor from the appearance, so choose a well-known brand, which not only guarantees the product quality but also is responsible for laying and installation, durable, and guaranteed after-sales service.
Although cheap floor is cheaper, it has a short service life and may not have after-sales service. Installation of wood plastic floor Installation method of wood plastic floor
1. Preparation before construction of wood plastic floor. Before construction, ensure that the concrete base of the construction site is flat. If there is any problem, it should be repaired before laying.
2. Fix the wood plastic keel.
Use expansion tube to directly fix the wood plastic keel on the ground. The spacing between the fixing points of the plastic expansion tube is 500mm~600mm. The screw cap is required to be lower than the surface of the wood plastic keel. The wood plastic keel needs to be relatively flat when fixed.
3. The center distance of the keel is controlled between 310-410mm. The joints at the ends of the keel need to leave a spacing of about 10mm for drainage. At the same time, the end joints between the keel rows should be staggered and not in a straight line. The allowable error of the keel spacing is <10mm, the flatness is <3mm, and the expansion joint between the wall is 8-10mm.
4. When the construction conditions of the base ground at the construction site are poor and the main structure cannot be stable, steel keels should be used instead of wood-plastic keels. The galvanized steel used just now should be used. The parts of the electric welding connection should be treated with rust-proof after removing the welding slag.
5. The size of the floor splicing gap should be reasonably determined according to the temperature and humidity of the environment during the installation of the wood-plastic floor, the length of the floor, the moisture content of the floor, and the specific conditions of the laying area.
Precautions for installing wood-plastic floor
-Due to the high density of the wood-plastic material itself, it is necessary to use a drill to drill holes at the location where self-tapping screws are used, and then tighten the self-tapping screws.
- Requirements for fixing the keel: The installation work surface is required to be flat, without potholes, and the keel spacing L is 300mm~350mm.
- For the installation of large-area wood-plastic flooring, it is recommended that the length of each wood-plastic floor should not exceed 2 meters.
-For edge banding, use B10-140 or B16-70 wood plastic board or other metal edge banding strips. Cut B14-140 or B16-70 to the required height according to the height of the floor keel and fix it. The spacing of the self-tapping screws of the edge banding wood plastic material is 400mm~600mm.
-For the installation of curved wood plastic flooring, it is necessary to cut both ends of each piece of wood plastic flooring according to the length and angle of the curve before paving.
- For the installation of wood plastic flooring on steps, it is recommended to use metal strips to protect the wood plastic flooring for the positive corners of the steps.
- During use, please avoid impact or collision with heavy objects. During the storage, transportation and installation of the material, please pay attention to proper handling to avoid it from falling from a high place and being damaged.
Maintenance of wood plastic flooring
1. Although the wood plastic board has excellent waterproof and mildew-proof properties, it still needs to be well maintained in daily life. Do not let a large amount of water directly contact the floor.
2. When cleaning, be sure not to use sandpaper, grinders or metal tools to clean the wood plastic floor.
3. When cleaning, you can first wipe it directly with a rag dipped in rice water, or evenly spray the rice water on the wooden floor, and wipe it clean with a dry rag after 5-10 minutes.
4. For some special stains, such as paint, ink, etc., you can directly use a special stain remover to clean and wipe.
5. What material is good for outdoor flooring?
