Everyone knows that the kitchen is the main place for family cooking. Therefore, when decorating the kitchen, all aspects must be considered, especially the kitchen floor. In addition to its aesthetic properties, the moisture-proof, fire-proof, and anti-fouling aspects of the floor must also be considered.

Therefore, when purchasing kitchen wooden floors, be sure to choose floors with good moisture-proof properties. When paving, special moisture-proof floor mats should be used to improve the moisture-proof performance of the kitchen floor.

It is very important to install wooden floors in the kitchen to prevent fires. When choosing a kitchen wooden floor, choose a floor with good fire-retardant properties and add additional fire-retardant paint. It is recommended to apply 5-6 coats of fire retardant paint when installing wooden floors. When purchasing a floor, you can also use means such as burning it with a lighter to test the fire resistance of the floor.

3. Wear resistance

The kitchen will be frequently stepped on, and sometimes bumped and scratched, so the wear resistance of the floor is required to be high. Laminated flooring has high wear resistance. Generally, the wear resistance index reaches 4000 rpm to meet the needs. Solid wood flooring and solid wood composite flooring have slightly poorer wear resistance and require more meticulous maintenance if chosen.

4. Stain resistance

The special nature of the kitchen space makes the kitchen floor easily become "dirty". Coupled with oil stains, vegetable leaves and other garbage that are difficult to clean, the anti-fouling performance of the floor is particularly important. When purchasing kitchen flooring, you can use conventional testing methods (such as writing with an oil-based pen, etc.) for testing.
