Multi-layer solid wood skirting board may be a kind of floor decoration material that people don't know much about, but today I want to recommend it to you.
You may be confused: Are multi-layer solid wood skirting boards easy to use?
Then, this article will take you to explore the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, production process, maintenance, and care process of multi-layer solid wood skirting boards, and how to choose them.
Multi-layer solid wood skirting is a floor profile made of multiple layers of wood by gluing and pressing. Its structure usually includes a surface layer of high-quality solid wood veneer and a bottom layer of multi-layer board. This design allows the skirting to retain the natural texture of the wood, while enhancing the stability of the structure and reducing deformation problems caused by temperature and humidity changes.
In addition, multi-layer solid wood skirting is also environmentally friendly (bonded with hot glue), durable, and easy to install, and is widely used in many home and commercial spaces.
Multi-layer solid wood skirting has become an ideal choice for modern home decoration due to its stable structure, natural appearance, and high cost-performance. Its advantages include:
Multi-layer solid wood skirting adopts a criss-cross multi-layer wood structure, which effectively reduces the deformation and cracking problems caused by humidity and temperature changes.
Its surface is made of high-quality solid wood veneer, which retains the natural texture and color of natural wood, suitable for natural and simple style interior decoration.
Since the multi-layer solid wood skirting is made of glue and pressing, it means that glue will be used in the production process, which is also a controversial point regarding environmental protection.
There is no doubt that if cold glue is used for bonding, the price of the finished product is very advantageous, but its environmental protection is relatively poor, and there may be a high content of formaldehyde release, which is harmful to human health.
However, high-quality multi-layer skirting is usually bonded with hot glue. Although its equipment and production costs will be relatively high, the final environmental protection is guaranteed.
Therefore, when choosing a multi-layer solid wood skirting, its production process is the key, and you must pay enough attention.
Compared with traditional solid wood skirting, multi-layer solid wood skirting is lighter and easier to install.
It can well preserve the appearance of solid wood and is more cost-effective (compared with pure solid wood skirting), suitable for many light luxury and high-end indoor floor decoration projects.
As we all know, the surface of multi-layer solid wood skirting adopts the PVC lamination process, which means that they can be customized with any finish. This can well meet the personalized needs of different customers and enhance the environmental adaptability of the product.
Although multi-layer solid wood skirtings have many advantages and are widely used, they also have some disadvantages that cannot be ignored, including:
The surface of the multi-layer solid wood skirting is covered with a layer of PVC film, which is difficult to restore after being scratched by sharp objects.
In addition, the skirting is easy to crack or break under the action of gravity. Therefore, you should be extra careful when using and maintaining it.
Multi-layer solid wood skirting boards are glued, and the quality of the glue will affect the environmental friendliness of the product (cold glue is less environmentally friendly, hot glue is more environmentally friendly).
If cold glue is used, the profile may have a risk of high formaldehyde emissions.
Although its structure is relatively stable, it is easy to swell and deform due to moisture in high-temperature and high-humidity environments.
Therefore, it is not suitable for areas such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Multi-layer solid wood skirting has a complex structure and needs to go through multiple processing steps, which means that its cost is usually higher than that of PVC skirting.
Compared with PVC or MDF materials, their prices are not competitive. They are not the best choice for projects with limited budgets.
The production process of multi-layer solid wood skirting is relatively complicated, and its process includes:
Select high-quality wood (such as oak, pine) and cut it into boards of specific sizes. These boards need to be dried to remove moisture and ensure the stability of the base material.
The dried wood boards are processed into thin wood veneers and sorted according to quality standards.
High-quality veneers are used for the surface layer, and low-quality veneers are used for the middle layer.
According to the design requirements, multiple layers of veneer are stacked, and environmentally friendly adhesive is applied between each layer to form a preliminary slab structure.
The assembled panels are first cold pressed to allow the adhesive to initially solidify; then hot pressed to ensure that the layers are firmly bonded to form a stable multi-layer panel.
The hot-pressed board needs to be cured to release its internal stress and further improve the stability and durability of the board.
According to the design specifications, the multi-layer board is cut to the size of the skirting board and shaped, such as chamfering and grooving, to meet the installation requirements.
The formed skirting is polished to ensure a smooth surface, and then painted, such as spraying, coating with PVC film, etc., to enhance its aesthetics and protective performance.
The finished skirtings are strictly inspected for quality to ensure they meet the standards, then packaged and prepared for shipment.
To ensure your multi-layer solid wood skirting remains beautiful and durable, care and maintenance are essential. Steps include:
Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the surface of the skirting to prevent dust accumulation from affecting the appearance.
Gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp soft cloth (such as cotton cloth).
Please install it in a dry place, such as a living room, bedroom, stairwell, etc., and avoid installing it in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.
In humid seasons, please use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to adjust the indoor humidity to prevent the wood from swelling or mold.
When cleaning the house, avoid bumping into furniture when moving it.
Avoid contact with sharp objects to avoid scratching the surface of the skirting.
If the surface is painted, it may require regular maintenance to maintain its gloss and water resistance.
If the surface is covered with PVC film, maintenance is relatively easy. Just dust it every day and carefully check the surface for damage. If there is any damage, please repair it in time.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. If used in a living room where it may be exposed to sunlight, use curtains or blinds to block the sunlight to prevent the PVC film from peeling or fading.
Choosing high-quality multi-layer solid wood skirting requires considering the following aspects:
Check the density of the wood and the clarity of the grain. The clearer the wood grain, the higher the density and the better the quality of the wood.
Use the correct fixing method to ensure a good installation effect and reduce the possibility of loosening or falling off in later use.
The skirting is a decorative element, and when choosing it, you need to consider the coordination with other elements in the room.
Usually, the color of the skirting will refer to the color of the wall, floor, and door frame.
Choose a well-known brand of multi-layer solid wood skirting to ensure product quality and reliable after-sales service.
Although high-quality multi-layer solid wood skirting is usually more expensive than PVC and MDF materials, its aesthetic value is unparalleled.
When you are unsure of how to choose, consider project requirements, material durability, ease of maintenance, ease of installation, cost advantages, and personal preferences.
Multi-layer solid wood skirtings offer the perfect balance between beauty, performance, and cost. Their craftsmanship enhances stability and sustainability, making them a smart choice for a wide range of interior applications. Choose high-quality products and take good care of them, and you'll enjoy the beauty and practicality of these skirtings for years to come.
