Why the engineered wood flooring would be unglued

The unglued wood flooring is a very seriously aging problem, which mainly occurs in engineered wood flooring. The unglued phenomenon of engineered wood flooring usually leads to the separation between wood veneer and the plywood structure, affecting the use of engineered wood flooring. 　　

Engineered wood flooring unglued problems will have a big impact, causing the top veneer to come off from the structure, even making the veneer crack at the same time.

If the engineered wood flooring is unglued, it would be a very troublesome quality problem for the for the maintenance. The majoy way of maintaining the engineered wood flooring unglued, is to take out and re-install all the wood flooring. Thus, for consumers, engineered wood flooring unglued is really a very annoying problem.

Firstly, The moisture content of the ground.

During the installation of wood flooring, the ground moisture is an important factor, because ground moisture level will affect the quality of the wood flooring in future. The unglued problem of wood flooring comes from to a large extend the retting or expansion of wooden floors due to the high moisture content of the ground and the top veneer would not expand as there is a plywood structure separating the ground and the top veneer. 　　

As a result, under the pulling force of floor expansion, there would a phenomenon of separation between top veneer and the plywood structure, which results in the engineered wood flooring unglued.

flooring and panels will produce a pull effect, resulting in solid wood multilayered flooring unglued. 　　

Next: The wrong ways of cleaning and maintenance

When daily cleaning, people may use wet cleaning equipment, which leads to water getting into the surface of engineered flooring, prompting the expansion within the floor and causing the expansive force within the multilayer, which leads to the phenomenon of ungluing.

When we solve the problem of the wood flooring unglued,it is very important for us to control the moisture of the ground and  the indoor humidity, to use the dry cleaners for cleaning and maintenance,.These means keeps our wood flooring durable and not aging.

It would be best  to wax the wood flooring after the flooring surface is completely dry. In addition, lay the doormat at the entrance, put on the shoes for indoor use after getting into rooms;　

3 During waxing the engineered wood flooring, we need to soak the rags with aqueous wax, wipe with the soaked rags in the direction of flooring wood grain. Do not pour the aqueous wax directly on the flooring surface and wipe, this easily will make the wax film uneven;

4, During the waxing process, please keep a good indoor ventilation.If the room temperature is below 5 degree or the temperature change is very huge on a rainy day, the wax probably would get whitened or bleaching.thus we need to try best to avoid waxing wood flooring under such circumstances;
