The sound of newly laid wood flooring in the home will generally disappear within a month. And some families are wooden floor paving after the floor noise has not stopped; Some just laid will not sound, and after a period of time the floor appears to sound. What causes the wooden floor to sound? What if the floor makes a noise?

The floor movement up and down (producing noise) mainly has the following reasons:

1. The ground is uneven

Due to the uneven ground, after the floor is paved, there is a gap between the floor and the ground in some places, and the floor moves up and down during the process of people walking, resulting in floor noise. Its characteristic is that after the floor is paved, people will immediately produce a sound when they walk, and it is local.

Wooden floor noise solution: Take measures to measure the flatness of the floor before paving, its flatness should be less than 3mm/2000mm, does not have the conditions of the ground, should be levelled first and then paved.

2. Insufficient gaps are reserved around the floor paving

The floor is slightly arched due to insufficient reserved gaps around the floor during floor paving. There is a gap between the floor and the ground, and people make noise when they move. It is characterized by no noise after the pavement, after a period of time, a large area of noise, the wall side and the floor have been very tight.

Wooden floor noise solution: Measures are taken to leave enough gaps around the floor, especially in the doorway, wall kitchen, balcony and other areas to leave gaps to ensure that the reserved gaps are uniform. When the length of pavement exceeds 8m, partition and bridge should be done.

3. Moisture-proof film breathable

After the floor is paved, because the moisture-proof film connection is not sealed with tape, the moisture-proof film in some places is broken during the paving process, causing the ground moisture leakage, especially in the geothermal environment, the ground is wet, a lot of moisture into the back of the floor, causing uneven expansion, causing deformation and slight distortion of the floor, creating a gap between the floor and the ground, and producing a sound during the stampede. This type is characterized by no sound after paving, after a period of time to produce a large area of sound, there may be gaps between the wall and the floor.

Solution to the sound of wood floor: Measures are taken before the floor is paved, the moisture-proof film connection must be sealed with tape to ensure that it is not breathable.

4. Symmetrical placement of interior furniture (heavy objects)

After the floor paving, due to the furniture and heavier items placed symmetrically on both sides of the room, the floor is pressed, in the case of wet environment, the floor absorbs moisture and expands, because the two sides are pressed by heavy objects, the floor cannot move, resulting in regional bulking. Causing floor noise in the area.

Wooden floor noise solution: Take measures to place heavy objects on one side as far as possible to ensure the free movement of one side of the floor.

In summary, the sound of wood flooring is sometimes the result of one factor, and sometimes the result of several factors together. Therefore, to prevent the floor from producing noise after paving, comprehensive measures should be taken to prevent it comprehensively.
