Wood flooring refers to flooring made from wood. The wood flooring produced in China is mainly divided into six categories: solid wood flooring, engineered wood flooring, solid composite flooring, multi-layer composite flooring, bamboo flooring, and cork flooring, as well as the emerging wood-plastic flooring.

Wood flooring is loved by the public for its natural wood grain, simplicity, and style. But can wood flooring be installed throughout the house? Of course, wood flooring can not only be used for floors but also for walls and ceilings!
In fact, as long as the right flooring is chosen, it is not impossible to have wood flooring throughout the house~ Now let's talk about how to choose wood flooring for different rooms!
1 Living Room
When choosing wood flooring for the living room, the main considerations are waterproofing, deformation, and wear resistance. A spacious living room will feel more open with light-colored flooring.
2 Kitchen
Nowadays, very few people install wood flooring in the kitchen, but it is completely possible to have wood flooring there. However, it is best to use engineered wood flooring, as solid wood flooring can expand and contract, leading to dirt in the gaps. The chance of water in the kitchen is very low, and occasional splashes while washing vegetables are not a problem. Alternatively, you can also place non-slip mats near the sink to absorb water and prevent slipping.
3 Bedroom
Dark flooring in the bedroom will create a warm feeling. For a country style, solid wood or strongly textured composite flooring can be chosen; for an American style bedroom, solid wood flooring is the best choice.
4 Bathroom
For the flooring in the shower room and balcony, ship deck wood can be used. This type of wood is so heavy that it doesn't feel like wood at all, and it is very hard. A utility knife barely leaves a mark on it, and it shows no changes after daily exposure to sun and rain, with an expected long lifespan.
Drainage and expansion issues:
1. The water absorption rate of plastic wood materials is about 0.2%, and the expansion rate is about 0.5%. Therefore, when installing such boards, please leave a certain gap between each board to accommodate potential thermal expansion and contraction.
2. Try to ensure that the installation surface is flat. If the flooring must be installed in some movable areas, do not fix the flooring too tightly; leave some room for movement.
3. Determine the flooring installation direction according to design requirements, and then determine the direction of the joists. In principle, the installation direction of the joists and flooring should be perpendicular at 90 degrees. In special applications where the flooring and joists form different angles, the joist spacing needs to be reduced.
4. Calculate the joist spacing based on the length of the flooring, ensuring that the end seams of the flooring are on the joists and leaving space for expansion. After expansion, the ends of the boards should still have more than 10mm on the joists, so it is recommended to use double joists at the seams. The center distance of the joists should be controlled between 300mm-400mm. Leave about 10mm at the end joints of the joists for drainage.
