When decorating, we must pay attention to the selection and laying of the floor, because if the floor is not selected correctly, it will not only affect the appearance of the home but also affect the health. And if the floor paving is not suitable, it will also affect the style matching, and then affect the aesthetics.
Of course, our ordinary home decoration still hopes to be affordable and cost-effective, not just look at the appearance.
If you want to pursue affordability, you must first understand how to choose the floor? Which is cost-effective? And how to shop to save money and be beautiful. The following knowledge points are for your reference and learning~
Which kind of flooring is affordable? Cost-effective?
Before choosing a floor, we need to understand that choosing a flooring needs to consider price, durability, aesthetics, environmental protection and maintenance costs. There are many common floorings, each with its own characteristics.
The following Xiaoai will give you an analysis of several floors that are more common and widely used on the market at present.
1. Solid wood flooring
Solid wood flooring is natural and environmentally friendly, comfortable to the feet, and has a natural texture and high appearance, but the price is also very high, it is not easy to take care of, the durability is average, and it needs regular maintenance. It is suitable for families who pursue foot feeling and do not care about the difficulty of care, and of course, they must have a sufficient budget.
2. Parquet
Parquet, as the name suggests, is that the surface is real veneer, and the base material is multi-layer plywood. It combines the beauty of solid wood flooring with the stability of composite flooring, which is more wear-resistant, relatively easy to care for, moderately priced, and environmentally friendly.
Overall, the quality is cost-effective. Of course, the feel and naturalness of the feet are not as good as those of pure solid wood.
3. Laminate flooring
The standard name of laminate flooring is "impregnated paper laminated wood flooring", also known as diamond board, laminate flooring. The main feature is that the surface decoration layer pattern is very rich, and there are many options.
Wear-resistant, stain-resistant, easy to care for, now very popular on the market, can be matched with a variety of decoration styles, the price is not high, the maintenance cost is also low, and the durability is also high.
Therefore, when the budget is limited, and you want to pursue the high-end sense of wooden flooring, you don't have to worry about the family all the time.
Little love tips ↓
There are also two kinds of flooring that owners will choose, one is bamboo flooring and the other is PVC flooring.
Bamboo flooring has good environmental performance, it belongs to the resources that can be quickly regenerated, and the price is moderate, many environmentalists will choose, but it is easy to be deformed by moisture, and the effect of warmth and sound insulation is not as good as that of wood flooring.
There are also PVC flooring that is cheap, easy to install, and families with a low budget will also choose it, but pay attention to environmental performance.
Xiao Ai summarizes ↓
On the whole, there are three layers of parquet and multi-layer parquet. These are relatively affordable, home decoration can be considered, there is no need to deliberately pursue pure solid wood flooring, after all, the price is high, it is not easy to take care of.
How to lay the floor? Which is aesthetically pleasing and cost-effective?
There are various ways to lay the floor, the difficulty of construction varies greatly, and the visual effect of laying is poor.
The following Xiaoai summarizes the common methods of laying wooden floors, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
1. Direct pasting and paving method
The flooring is glued directly to the floor and is suitable for solid or cork floors, especially those up to 30 cm in length. It is necessary to keep the ground dry and flat, otherwise it is easy to warp.
2. I-shaped paving method
Place the short side seam of the two floors in the middle of the upper and lower floors to form a "I" shape. Symmetrical, neat, used more, moderate price, construction is not difficult.
3. Herringbone paving
The wooden planks are spliced according to the shape of the "man", which has a sense of movement and three-dimensionality.
There are "single words" and "double words" practices, visually stretching the space, the construction is slightly difficult, and the material loss is about 8%-12%.
4. Fishbone paving
The planks are cut into parallelograms with an acute angle of 45° and then spliced together in a mid-seam alignment to form a fishbone shape.
The appearance is very high, it looks high-end and fashionable, and the space has a sense of hierarchy, but the price is high, the construction is difficult, the construction team has requirements, and the material loss is large. It is suitable for families who pursue space and beauty and have requirements for quality.
In addition, there are also Tianzi-shaped paving, keel laying method, etc., the use we said above is more common, and the intuitive visual experience is stronger, and the owners often struggle between them.
Xiao Ai's personal suggestion is that the construction of material loss is relatively simple, and the fishbone spell is good in appearance and temperament, but it is necessary to find a reliable construction team in advance, and the budget should be sufficient. In short, everyone should choose according to the actual needs of their own family.
