Many people will face the problem of installing wooden floors or tiles when decorating new houses. Let's briefly introduce the advantages and disadvantages of wooden floors and tiles.
Wooden flooring will give people a natural texture, and it is comfortable and beautiful, looking very high-grade. If your room is covered with wooden floors, then it will feel very comfortable when you step on it, and you can reduce the impact noise on the floor, which fundamentally solves the problem of excessive noise and can make your home more peaceful and warm. In addition, the wooden board is also more "gentle" compared to the tile, if the elderly and children in the family accidentally fall, it will not cause too much harm, but if your home is paved with tiles, then the trouble will be greater, and the consequences will definitely be more serious than falling on the tiles.
But the wooden floor also has shortcomings, it looks good, but it needs more maintenance, and the weather and humidity will have a relatively large impact on the wooden floor, it is easy to deform after immersion in water. In addition, the wooden floor also needs to be regularly waxed for maintenance, if you are not careful, you will be scratched by sharp objects, those composite floors will also release harmful formaldehyde to the human body, the most important thing is that the use of the floor is not as long as the tiles, and it will need to be replaced after a few years, which will be very troublesome.
So what are the advantages of those who prefer tiles? Tiles mainly have the advantages of simple maintenance, not easy to hide dirt and grime, will not produce air pollutants, have a long service life, and generally will not be warped, scratched, etc., so if you are a person who likes simplicity, then choose tiles. In addition, the tiles also have a wealth of colors and sizes, the effect presented is actually comparable to the wooden floor, and only need to be swept and wiped clean.
But why do many people still choose tiles? Because the tile still has the disadvantage of poor comfort, it gives people a cold feeling, and after stepping on it, it feels hard and hard, and cannot give people a warm feeling. In addition, its thermal insulation is poor, it is more troublesome when paving, and it is easy to slip in the wet season. It is worth mentioning that individual tiles will also have radioactive pollution, which we must pay attention to.
After understanding the advantages and disadvantages of wooden floors and tiles, you can choose according to your actual needs. In addition, you can also use wood floors and tiles together according to the requirements of different areas, such as the walls and floors of the kitchen and bathroom, while the floors of the living room and bedroom can be tiled, so that you can take full advantage of both. If there are elderly people and children in the home, it is best to choose wooden floors, because wooden floors are more non-slip than tiles. However, if you consider it from the price side, the price of wooden flooring is actually much higher than that of tiles, so you must consider the family economic situation and decoration budget when choosing, and do not buy unsuitable for yourself in order to pursue high-end, which will not be worth the loss.
Finally, it should be noted that whether it is a wooden floor or a tile, it is necessary to choose products produced by regular manufacturers or well-known brand products, because the quality of these products is at least guaranteed, and its after-sales service should also be considered when purchasing, so as not to cause trouble later. It is worth mentioning that no matter what you choose, maintenance is essential, and only regular maintenance can extend the service life of the product.
