However, currently, some customers are experiencing rapid deterioration of laminate flooring, which is caused by improper installation, use and preservation. Therefore, let's join Thai Le Interior Design to learn the secrets to increasing longevity and keeping wooden floors as beautiful as new.

Correct construction techniques

The types of laminate flooring on the market today all have extremely rich designs and styles, providing many choices. Besides, modern production technology also creates product lines that are easy to construct and install with smart locking mechanisms. However, to prolong the life of laminate flooring, when installing you need to comply with certain standards:

1/ The wooden floor installation surface must be properly treated, ensuring it is flat and dry.

2/ The wooden floor installation surface will be covered with a layer of plastic and foam film to prevent moisture, avoiding moisture absorption from the ground surface onto the wooden floor.

3/ Pay attention to the standard gap of 10mm from the last floor bar to the wall when installing, or called the expansion gap, so that the floor does not warp or blister due to physical changes when environmental conditions change. . This gap will be covered when installing the wall wool, ensuring both technique and not causing loss of aesthetics.

Clean properly

Wooden flooring is a material that brings luxury, helps highlight any interior space and is also very easy to clean. There are a few points to keep in mind when preserving to keep the floor in the best condition:

1/ Before cleaning the laminate floor, you should clean the surface by sweeping or vacuuming to avoid dust particles or hard objects rubbing against the floor causing scratches.

2/ After cleaning, use a soft damp cloth, making sure to squeeze out all the water to wipe the floor.

3/ Absolutely do not use wet towels to clean because it will make the floor damp. Over time, water will enter the seams, expanding the core of the floor, leading to blisters and damage.

Preserve wooden floors

To help laminate floors last for years, in addition to standard installation and proper cleaning, combining with maintenance methods is essential. When using wooden floors, you need to be careful to limit direct water contact with the floor:

1/ Please close the windows when it rains so that water does not fall on the floor.

2/ If you have decorative ornamental plants in your home, remember to line the plant pots, use a mini spray bottle to water the plants, then dry the damp floor area around the pot to avoid letting the floor become moldy.

3/ Regularly check and dry the floor mat, avoid leaving the wet carpet in contact with the floor for a long time because it will be counterproductive and cause serious damage to the floor.
