What is the normal size of the gap between the floor and the floor? How big is the seam in the solid wood floor?

Many families will choose solid wood flooring, the pattern is natural and diverse, suitable for a variety of home decoration styles, and the price is not expensive, relatively speaking, the price is still a relatively high choice. When laying the floor, we will pay attention to leaving a little gap, so that when the floor is heated and expanded, there will be a certain space, and the floor will not be squeezed against each other due to insufficient space. However, this gap is also standard and cannot be left too wide.

First, the gap between the floor and the floor is normal

It depends on the material and area of ​​the floor to be installed. In general, the gap between solid wood boards in a family should not exceed 1mm, and the floor and wall should be about 1cm. If there are gaps in the tiles, there are generally 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, and 5mm standards. The seam of home improvement tiles is generally 1-1.5mm, and the seam of floor tiles (such as vitrified tiles, etc.) is generally 1.5-2mm. In addition, large venues such as stadiums or shopping malls require that the maximum gap between panels should not exceed 3mm, and the floor and wall should not exceed 3cm. Joints between outdoor floors should not exceed 1cm.

Second, what is the appropriate size of the solid wood floor seam

After the solid wood floor is laid, there will be certain gaps. Under normal circumstances, the maximum expansion and contraction of a single 125mm wide floor in the northern region does not exceed 0.2mm, which is the normal gap size. In the case of hardwood floors, the width of the gap shall not be greater than 0.5mm. The joints of the plate ends should be staggered, and the width of the gap between the plates should not be greater than 1mm.

Third, why should there be gaps between the floors

1, ceramic tiles and cement mortar used for tiling will expand and contract with heat The problem. During moderate changes in temperature, tiles and cement mortars will expand and contract to a certain extent. If there are no seams, it will cause the tiles to bulge or crack during later use. 2. Although ceramic tiles are now produced mechanized, there will be certain size errors in the production process. If there is no seam, the joints of the tiles are easy to be uneven, which affects the aesthetics of the tiles. 3. The paving of ceramic tiles is a construction project with a very high technical level. During the entire laying process, it is impossible for workers to lay every tile completely without mistakes. In addition, remind the owner that the effect of laying tiles at different times and under different conditions will be different. If no joints are left, it is difficult to ensure the flatness of the tile joints, which affects the continuity of tile paving.
