Due to the dry weather in winter, in order to prevent too large floor cracks, people should appropriately increase indoor air humidity while enjoying warmth.

　【1】Solid wood flooring is waxed once in winter

　　Solid wood flooring has won the love of many consumers for its natural texture and high durability. However, geothermal heating users who have used solid wood floors may find that after a winter and summer, cracks appeared on the floor. Experts say that to solve this problem, consumers should apply solid wax to the floor.

　Relevant experts revealed that a certain amount of moisture often remains inside solid wood floors. When geothermal heat heats up in winter, the floor loses water and shrinks, and the gap between the floors will increase. At this time, applying solid wax to the floor will reduce the extent of the gap expansion.

　【2】The humidity in the room is 50%-60%

　　The climate in winter is relatively dry. Try to shorten the window opening time and appropriately increase humidity indoors. Not only are people living there good, but it is also of great help in the maintenance of the floor.

Many people may think that when the outside air comes in in winter, the temperature in the city drops, and the phenomenon of flooring is naturally weakened. In this regard, experts say that the real reason for the floor to get off the slit is humidity, not temperature. In addition, the higher the air temperature, the more water is contained in saturated state, which means that the humidity inside the house is higher than that outside in winter. At this time, changing the cold air outside will only make the room drier. Equipped with an air humidifier is very direct and effective. Experts revealed that the humidity in the room should be controlled between 50% and 60%.

　　【3】Sudden heat and heat will cause great damage to the floor

　　In the process of floor heating, sudden heat and heat will cause damage to the floor. Experts recommend that the process of geothermal opening and closing should be gradually progressed, and the sudden rise and fall of temperature will affect the service life of the floor.

　　For the first time, be careful to heat up slowly. If the heating is too fast, the floor may crack and distort due to expansion. “And when using geothermal heating, the surface temperature should not exceed 30℃. At this time, the room temperature is below 22℃, the most suitable ambient temperature of the human body, and the service life of the floor can also be guaranteed. ”

　【4】Thought tips: Three key points for winter floor maintenance

　①. Since the weather in winter is dry, you must pay attention to the safety of using fire. Especially for solid wood floors, the surface layer is more fragile, and open flames may cause fires.

　②. Avoid using legless furniture, and do not place glassware and porcelain containing water directly on the ground to prevent excessive local heat, damage to the floor or rupture of the container.

　③. Because the surface of the floor is dry in winter, the surface layer is prone to damage. Therefore, sharp objects should be especially avoided in winter.
