As a high-end decorative material, parquet flooring is widely favored by consumers for its exquisite patterns, elegant textures, and durability. However, as the use time increases, some users will encounter the problem of parquet flooring making strange noises. This strange noise not only affects the comfort of the home environment but may also be a manifestation of floor quality or installation problems. Therefore, it is very important to understand the reasons for the strange noises of parquet flooring and take effective solutions to maintain the beauty of the floor and extend its service life.

1. Common causes of strange noises in parquet flooring

Uneven ground: Parquet flooring needs to ensure that the ground is flat when installing. If the ground is uneven, the floor may be affected by compression or gaps during the laying process, resulting in unstable sounds on the wood floor. Especially the splicing part of the wood floor, because the design of parquet flooring is usually more complicated, small unevenness will cause friction and strange noises.

Wood flooring expands or contracts: Wood is a natural material with the characteristics of absorbing and releasing moisture. When the air humidity changes, the wood will expand or contract according to the change in humidity. If the indoor humidity is too high or too low, the wood floor may deform due to changes in moisture. Deformed wooden floors are prone to friction and abnormal noise when under pressure.

Improper installation: If the parquet floor is not installed properly, the joints of the floor may become loose, the joints may not be tight, or even gaps may occur between the floors. These problems will cause the wooden floor to shake or rub during use, which will cause abnormal noise.

Damage to the surface coating of the floor: The surface coating of the parquet floor (such as paint or oil wax) may be affected by friction, impact, and other factors during long-term use, gradual wear, and even damage. When the surface coating is damaged, the friction between the floors will be more intense, causing abnormal noise.

Unsuitable floor material or low-quality floor: There are many types of parquet floors on the market, and the quality of floors of different brands and materials varies greatly. If low-quality parquet floors are used, there may be problems such as uneven materials and poor toughness, which are prone to deformation, cracks, or expansion during use, resulting in abnormal noise.

Changes in the indoor environment: Changes in temperature and humidity are important factors affecting the performance of wooden floors. In an environment with high temperature or high humidity, wooden floors are prone to moisture absorption and expansion, while in a dry environment, wooden floors are prone to lose moisture and shrink. These changes will cause friction between the joints of parquet flooring, which will cause abnormal noise.

2. How to solve the abnormal noise problem of parquet flooring

Check the flatness of the ground: If the parquet flooring makes an abnormal noise, first check the flatness of the ground. Uneven ground is one of the common causes of abnormal noise. If the ground is found to be undulating, you can use professional ground leveling tools (such as laser level) for detection. If necessary, you can ask professional construction workers to reprocess the ground and level the ground. For some minor unevenness, you can also use gaskets or fill the gaps in the ground to solve it.

Adjust indoor humidity: Wood floors are very sensitive to air humidity. Too high or too low humidity may cause the wood floors to deform, resulting in abnormal noise. Therefore, it is very important to maintain appropriate indoor humidity. Generally speaking, the indoor humidity should be controlled between 40%-60%. When the humidity is too high, you can use an air dryer or air conditioner to reduce the indoor humidity; when the humidity is too low, you can use a humidifier to increase the humidity. If the indoor temperature difference changes greatly, it is best to use a dehumidifier or humidifier to keep the air stable.

Reinstall parquet flooring: If the noise of parquet flooring is caused by improper installation, you can consider reinstalling it. When reinstalling, make sure that the joints of each piece of wood flooring are tight and seamless, and keep the ground flat during installation. For some floors with more complex parquet designs, it is recommended to ask professional installers to operate to ensure the quality of installation.

Check and repair the floor surface coating: If the noise is caused by damage to the floor surface coating, you first need to check the degree of wear of the coating. If the coating is obviously damaged, you can consider re-surfacing. First, you need to polish the floor surface to remove the old coating, and then apply a new protective coating (such as varnish, oil wax, etc.) to ensure that the floor surface is smooth and uniform, thereby reducing the noise caused by friction.

Use wooden floor gaskets: If there are loose or gaps between parquet floors, special wooden floor gaskets can be used at the joints. Gaskets can effectively reduce friction between floors and reduce the probability of abnormal noise. At the same time, gaskets can also enhance the stability of the floor and prevent deformation of the floor due to changes in temperature and humidity.

Choose high-quality parquet flooring: If you find that parquet flooring frequently makes strange noises, and the problem still exists after inspection and repair, it may be because you have chosen a poor-quality floor. When buying parquet flooring, you should choose well-known brands and high-quality materials. These floors are made with superior craftsmanship and materials. They are not only beautiful but also durable and resistant to deformation. They can maintain good stability after long-term use.

Regularly check and maintain the floor: Regularly checking and maintaining parquet flooring is one of the effective measures to prevent strange noises. When checking the floor, you should pay attention to whether there are scratches or cracks on the surface of the floor and whether the joints are tight. Clean the floor regularly to avoid dust and dirt accumulation, which will affect the use of the floor. In addition, waxing and curing the floor regularly can enhance the protective layer of the surface and reduce friction and wear.

Avoid frequent friction with heavy objects: In daily life, try to avoid dragging heavy objects directly on the parquet floor, which will cause damage to the surface of the floor and cause strange noises. You can use cushions or carpets to protect the floor, especially when moving furniture, try to avoid direct friction with the ground.

Parquet flooring is a high-end, exquisite flooring material. Its unique pattern and texture add a lot of artistic atmosphere to the home space. However, with the extension of the use time, parquet flooring may encounter the problem of abnormal noise. Most of the abnormal noise problems can be solved by checking whether the ground is flat, adjusting the indoor humidity, reinstalling, repairing the surface coating, etc.

In order to avoid the occurrence of abnormal noise problems, users should choose high-quality brands when purchasing parquet flooring, and maintain correct operation and maintenance habits during installation and use. Through careful maintenance and regular inspections, it can not only effectively avoid the occurrence of abnormal noise problems, but also extend the service life of parquet flooring, and maintain the beauty and durability of the floor.
