When I renovated the house for the third time, my family suggested that I lay wooden floors, but I felt that wooden floors were expensive and difficult to take care of. After using it for a long time, it is easy to mold and is not resistant to bumps. It also needs regular maintenance. After much consideration, I finally gave up on laying wooden floors.
Later, I went to the tile shop and found a kind of tile that resembles a wooden floor, that is, wood grain brick. The price is cheap, the visual effect is similar to the wooden floor, which is more suitable for young lazy people like us, saving money and being practical.
After laying the wood grain bricks, I was very satisfied. Next, I will tell you about the advantages of wood grain bricks.
1. Good-looking
Wood grain bricks are different from other tiles, there is no such cold feeling, it looks similar to the wooden floor, it is very warm, and there is a sense of luxury of the wooden floor.
2. Environmental protection
Wood grain brick is a kind of tile, there is no glue and paint when paving, there is almost no formaldehyde, and it is much more environmentally friendly than wooden flooring.
3. Good hygiene
The wood grain brick is really very easy to take care of and non-slip, mop the floor casually, not afraid of blisters, not afraid of deformation. And I cook all three meals a day at home, all the way to the open kitchen, and the daily mopping is kept clean.
4. The price is cheap
Laying wood grain bricks is cheaper than laying wooden floors, which can save a lot of money. A brick of wood grain brick is only a dozen yuan, and the labor cost is dozens of yuan per square meter, plus there is no need for maintenance in the later stage, which can save a lot of money.
5. Good thermal conductivity
If you want to install floor heating in your home, laying wood grain bricks is the first choice, and the thermal conductivity is very good, and the home is warmer.
There are several points to pay attention to when laying wood grain bricks
(1) When buying, be sure to ask how many layouts the merchant has, the more layouts, the lower the repetition rate of the pattern, and the texture will be more natural.
(2) If the living room area is greater than 30 square meters, choose 200 * 1m2, if it is a small apartment or want to do herringbone spelling, choose 150 * 900, the sense of hierarchy will be richer. In addition, the thickness of the brick must be up to 10 mm.
(3) The color of the beautiful seam should be one color darker than the color of the tile, so as to make the shadow joint between the two floors and achieve the visual sense of the wooden floor.
epilogue
It's really good to install wood grain bricks, and there is a feeling of wooden flooring without the trouble of wooden floors. The reason why I installed wood grain bricks is that the heat conduction of floor heating is faster, which is actually more environmentally friendly. Second, it is more convenient for later maintenance and care, which is suitable for young lazy people like us.
