Rumor! Is the wood really the heavier?

Before Xiao Bian heard many dealers complained that when customers buy solid wood flooring, they will always measure the weight, and firmly believe that the solid wood flooring must be as heavy as possible! Is this really true? No! Today, Xiaobian comes to science, In the future, I can tell the truth when I face the customer!

Misunderstanding

Look smart and good practice

Wrong! The weight of the wood is related to the dry density. The finer the wood fiber, the higher the air dry density of the floor and the heavier the weight. However, the heavier the floor, the higher the swelling rate, and the higher the shrinkage rate when spitting. . In other words, the heavier the floor densities are, the bigger.

Stable or not

Very little relationship with weight

In fact, the oily long-term dyeing in wood fiber makes every subtle part of the floor have the nature of not being afraid of water. From the stability of the floor use, it has nothing to do with the weight. From the actual use effect, the floor The heavier and more stable the conclusion is not precise.

Coincidentally, when people buy solid wood furniture, they will encounter some less professional rhetoric. "You see that this rubber wood partition is so heavy. You don't print it with your hand, which means the wood is good." "You see that our wood is very thick and has a very high hardness, second only to mahogany. The quality is of course good." When some consumers are asking about the stability of furniture, the salesmen will say that the wood used is hard, so stability Very good.

Correct view

Listen to the quality inspector

Sun Shudong, director of the Furniture Inspection and Wood Identification Laboratory of the National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said that the more stable the wood, the more stable it is. Like some stable woods such as teak, pineapple, Indonesian mahogany, etc., their density is not high, and the high density and quality are not necessarily proportional, not high density can be called good wood.

Wood does have the problem of swelling and shrinking, but if the production process is in place, the wood is well-dried, and the seams are in place. Solid wood furniture and solid wood flooring are difficult to crack and deform. For example, in the production process of solid wood flooring, the most important thing is the wood drying process. If the drying is not done well, the finished floor will be easy to crack and deform. If it is dry, the wood itself will be relieved of stress and will not be deformed. Cracking problem.
