Before decoration, many people will be confused about materials with the same function and different materials, especially whether to lay tiles or wooden floors in the living room. Today, China Ceramics Network will share with you some pertinent advice from an old decorator.
Let’s talk about ceramic tiles first.
If you are particularly sensitive to formaldehyde, or your children are still young or the elderly live with you, and you are always worried about formaldehyde pollution, then tiling the living room is the best choice.
First of all, ceramic tiles are products fired at high temperatures, which are very environmentally friendly and do not contain formaldehyde. Secondly, ceramic tiles have good wear resistance, can be mopped with water, and are easy to take care of. Especially if you like to keep pets at home, installing ceramic tiles in the living room will make it easier.
Let’s talk about wooden floors.
The flooring in the living room gives people a cozy and warm feeling at first glance, because the wooden floor is less cold and gives people a sense of being close to nature. At the same time, it has better anti-slip properties, but it cannot be avoided. The problem is formaldehyde pollution. Wooden flooring includes solid wood flooring, solid wood composite flooring and laminate flooring. Laminated composite flooring and solid wood composite flooring use a large amount of glue with formaldehyde as one of the main components in the manufacturing process, so these two types of floors contain a large amount of formaldehyde. If you put environmental protection and health in a very important position, it is obviously better to lay ceramic tiles in the living room than to lay wooden floors.
In addition, although laying the floor is more worry-free, basically the place where you buy it is responsible for laying it, so you don’t have to worry too much. However, the later maintenance of wooden floors is more troublesome than ceramic tiles. Unlike ceramic tiles, you basically don’t need to take care of them after they are installed. When it comes to service life, wooden floors are far inferior to ceramic tiles.
Finally, the suggestion given by Lao Zhuang is: tiling ceramic tiles in the living room is the most suitable choice. After all, the living room is not a private place, it is a place for family gatherings and entertainment. From a practical point of view, ceramic tiles are definitely better. Moreover, the daily use of ceramic tiles will basically not cause deformation and cracking, while wooden floors are more prone to moisture deformation when encountering high temperatures and humidity.
In short, tiling in the living room is definitely more suitable for most families. Of course, every family has different visions and needs. The most important thing is whether to lay tiles or wooden floors in the living room, which is consistent with your actual situation.
