This year's Spring Festival came particularly late. Although the beginning of spring has passed, the weather is still cold. Dry air and geothermal heating can cause solid wood flooring to lose moisture, shrink, dry and crack, and the gaps between the floors will increase. To prevent this situation from happening, it is important to remember to take good care of the solid wood flooring in order to extend its service life.

Waxing during maintenance of solid wood flooring
Solid wood flooring is loved by consumers for its natural texture, high durability, and comfortable foot feel. However, the solid wood flooring of geothermal heating users may experience cracks after a period of winter and summer. To solve this problem, simply apply solid wax to the floor once in winter to seal the remaining moisture inside the floor, avoiding dehydration and shrinkage caused by geothermal heating in winter.
Maintain a room with solid wood flooring and maintain a humidity of 50%
The winter climate is relatively dry, so try to shorten the window opening time and increase indoor humidity appropriately. This not only benefits people but also greatly helps with floor maintenance. Many people may believe that opening windows in winter to allow outside air in and lower indoor temperature can weaken the phenomenon of floor separation. In fact, the real reason for the floor to have gaps is humidity, not temperature. In addition, the higher the air temperature, the more saturated the water content is, which means that the indoor humidity in winter is relatively higher than that outside. Changing in the cold outdoor air will only make the indoor environment drier. Equipping an air humidifier is the most direct and effective method, and it is best to control the humidity of the room between 50% and 60%, which is relatively humid for both the human body and the floor.
[Maintain solid wood flooring to avoid sudden cold and heat]
During the heating process of the floor, both sudden cooling and heating can cause damage to the floor. During the process of turning on and off geothermal energy, it is necessary to proceed step by step, as both sudden temperature increases and decreases can affect the service life of the floor. When using geothermal heating for the first time, be careful to slowly raise the temperature. If the temperature rises too quickly, the floor may crack and twist due to expansion. Moreover, the surface temperature of geothermal heating should not exceed 30 ℃. At this time, the room temperature should be below the most suitable environmental temperature for the human body, which is 22 ℃. The service life of the floor can also be guaranteed.
