Installation requirements for wood plastic floor

Wood-plastic flooring can be described as an innovation in the flooring industry. Wood-plastic composite materials contain plastics and fibers. Therefore, they have similar processing properties to wood. They can be sawed, nailed, and planed, and can be completed with woodworking tools. Nail grip is significantly better than other synthetic materials. Mechanical properties are better than wood materials. The nail holding force is generally 3 times that of wood and 5 times that of particleboard. The wood-plastic composite material contains plastic, so it has a good elastic modulus. In addition, because it contains fibers and is fully mixed with plastic, it has physical and mechanical properties such as compression resistance and bending resistance comparable to hardwood, and its durability is significantly better than ordinary wood materials. The surface hardness is high, generally 2-5 times that of wood. As a new generation of floor covering decoration materials, is there any special requirements for the installation of WPC floor? The following describes the installation process of wood plastic floor in detail, saving time and effort for your home improvement.

1. The foundation has a slope, and the ventilation and drainage are smooth. The wood-plastic floor/slab is at least 30mm away from the ground. The keel can be made of wood-plastic keel or metal keel. The wood-plastic floor/slab cannot be directly laid on the fixed ground.

Before laying the floor, the quality and color of the formwork should be well divided and analyzed. Lay the floor with the same color and good quality as far as possible to the center of the house.

2. The laying direction of the wood-plastic floor. Generally, it is laid horizontally from the entrance of the room to the room, or you can choose to lay from one side wall to the other side wall, which is more convenient for laying. For the paving of large-area wood-plastic floors, it is recommended to use the installation method shown in the figure, and the length of each wood-plastic floor should not exceed 2 meters. In order to make the floor more beautiful, a central axis can be specified before laying the wood-plastic board, which can be used as the baseline of the floor, and then concretely implemented.

3. Before laying the wood-plastic floor, pay attention to the inspection of the ground. If there is any problem, it should be repaired and then laid. Although the wood-plastic board has excellent waterproof and mildew-proof properties, it still needs to be well maintained in daily life, and do not let a lot of water directly contact the floor.

4. When laying wood-plastic floors, pay attention to keeping the four limbs and corners of each board parallel and vertical, and try to ensure that there are no errors. Pay attention to the stability, regularity and firmness of the wood-plastic floor when laying the floor. And don’t forget to use adhesive on flush or grooved floors. 5. After the WPC floor is installed, cut the ends to be flush at the same time. For all installations, the pre-drilled depth is no greater than 0.8 times the length and diameter of the screw.

With the research and development of wood-plastic composite materials, the plastic raw materials for the production of wood-plastic composite materials include polyvinyl chloride and PS in addition to high-density polyethylene or polypropylene. The process has also been developed from the early single-screw extruder to the conical twin-screw extruder, and then to the initial granulation by the parallel twin-screw extruder, and then extruded by the conical screw, which can make up for the difficulty of plasticization and poor performance. , poor creep resistance, poor color consistency and durability, and tensile strength.
