The weight of solid wood flooring is determined by the density of wood. The density of different tree species is not the same. Even the same wood species will have a difference in density and weight due to different growth environments, tree ages, and parts.

The finer the wood fiber, the higher the air-dry density of the wooden floor and the heavier the weight. However, the heavier the floor is, the higher the water-absorption rate is and the higher the shrinkage is when spit water is poured; in other words, the heavier the floor is. The greater the degeneration.

For example, complaints about the quality of our common floorboards often occur on heavy boards, such as two-winged beans, iron wire and iron wood, which are concentrated in common problems such as cracking, twisting, and shrinkage, while soft wood species such as birch , ash wood and so on, the proportion of complaints to the board is much less, so, from the actual use of this point of view, the heavier and more stable floor, the conclusion is not accurate.

There is also the stability of the vinyl floor, and the relationship with the weight is also minimal!

When people buy hardwood flooring, they will encounter some unprofessional rhetoric. “You see that our floor is so heavy. You have to use your hand to draw it. There is no printing. This shows that the wood is good.” “You see our wood. Very heavy, extremely hard, and of course of good quality.” When some consumers are asking about floor stability, salesmen will say that the wood they are using is hard and therefore very stable. These are misleading!

Long-term impregnation of oily wood fibers, so that every subtle parts of the floor are not afraid of water nature, from the perspective of the stability of the use of the floor, and weight is also not related!

The argument that the greater the density of wood is, the more stable it is. There is also a kind of floor plank is not good or bad to see if the wood is not expensive, high-grade, not to look at the weight of wood weight, but to see its stability, corrosion resistance, texture, delicate and beautiful overall performance. Like some well-stabilized woods such as teak and teak, the luxury is not its weight. Its growth period is higher than 80 years before it becomes a material. Its stability and corrosion resistance are unmatched by other woods. Therefore, ancient people used it. It comes to shipbuilding navigation. The production of teak floors requires the natural health of the wind and rain to create a unique golden luster. This tree species, teak, is increasingly scarce and therefore more valuable. Its density is not high, and the amount taken on the hand is very light; and the relationship between high density and quality is not necessarily proportional, and not high density can be called good wood.

Through the above popular science, we can see that the more the floor is not the heavier, the better the quality of the floor can not be judged by weight, so those who think that the heavier the floor is, the better the idea is unscientific.
