For those who sell ceramic tiles and those who sell floors, their different identities and positions mean that their opinions will inevitably be different. The former believes that ceramic tiles are better than wooden floors, while the latter believes that wooden floors are better than ceramic tiles. This is reasonable. For consumers, "everyone likes carrots and vegetables." Some people like ceramic tiles, while others like wooden floors. This is a normal phenomenon.
However, we must have a bottom line as a human being and speak in a measured manner. We must not speak recklessly and go against common sense and facts.
Yesterday, the author saw an article on the Internet titled "Top 10 reasons why wooden floors are better than ceramic tiles. I would like to pass this on to friends who are about to renovate!" 》 (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "original text"), many of which are made out of words.

The so-called "10 reasons why wooden floors are better than ceramic tiles" in the article are: (1) not easy to slip; (2) easy to maintain; (3) beautiful and durable; (4) rich in materials; (5) economical in construction (6) Strong thermal insulation performance; (7) Low cost; (8) Healthy; (9) Comfortable feet; (10) Environmentally friendly and harmless.
This article refutes the fallacies in these 10 reasons one by one.
01
Rebuking "easy maintenance"
Original text says:
“In the eyes of many people, ceramic tiles are easier to maintain than wooden floors. In fact, this is not the case. Although floor tiles look easy to maintain, they are prone to black seams and scratches, and all damaged ones must be replaced. Does the wooden floor have condensation? , non-mold characteristics, can avoid the reproduction of mite bacteria and reduce the occurrence of asthma, nose and skin allergies.
Nowadays, composite laminate flooring does not require waxing, and can be replaced individually if there is a problem. ”
Wooden floors are easier to maintain than ceramic tiles. Are you sure that’s not funny?
Although ceramic tiles are prone to black seams and stains, they are wear-resistant, moisture-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and easy to clean, requiring little effort.Care must be taken to take care of it; while wooden floors often become moldy due to moisture, warping due to moisture, thermal expansion and contraction, and poor quality. It is true that poor quality ceramic tiles are easily scratched, but many wear-resistant ceramic tiles have already solved this problem; moreover, scratches on ceramic tiles do not look obvious and have no impact on their use.

Refutation of "beautiful and durable"
The original text says:
“The floor is beautiful and durable. Its natural wood grain texture can well express a person’s life style. The softness and color of the floor are very good, and the affinity is very good. At present, The types of flooring are also constantly changing, such as hand-grained flooring, embossed flooring, etc.
Ceramic tiles, on the other hand, give people a more rigid feeling and are limited in color and style. It is not easy to create special effects. ”
Whether wooden floors are more beautiful than ceramic tiles, different people have different opinions, so I will not comment here. But to say that wooden floors are more durable than ceramic tiles is completely confusing black and white, which is really laughable.

Refuting "rich materials"
The original text says:
“The materials of the floor are very rich and diverse, and incomplete statistics include hundreds of them.There are so many, which also brings more changes and choices to home life. The materials of floor tiles are relatively similar, and the ingredients are almost similar, making them slightly single. The materials of floor tiles are relatively similar, and the ingredients are almost similar, making them slightly single. ”
To be honest, ceramic tiles are by no means single. There are many categories such as polished tiles, glazed tiles, microcrystalline stone, antique tiles, wood grain tiles, porcelain tiles, etc., and there are also rich and colorful designs and colors to satisfy different people. aesthetic needs.

Refutation of "health care"
The original text says:
"The floor is made of natural trees and basically does not contain other chemical components. Therefore, there are few harmful substances such as formaldehyde. It can also release negative ions that are beneficial to the human body, which is beneficial to health. The floor can also absorb ultraviolet rays, which makes the eyes feel It is comfortable and prevents the occurrence of myopia. Its growth rings and texture can often form a beautiful picture, giving people a feeling of returning to nature and returning to simplicity. No matter the texture, it is unique.
In fact, floor tiles are indeed easier to clean than wooden floors, but it is a misunderstanding to say that wood is afraid of water. In Japan, many precious woods are preserved under the sea. For example, good teak is the best material for boats and can be said to be incorruptible for thousands of years. Wooden flooring can absorb moisture, especially for residents who live on the first floor. Wooden flooring is most suitable. In winter, the home will not feel cold and cold. Because floor tiles cannot absorb moisture, the room will be colder when the moisture increases in winter.
Children are willing to run around barefoot. Psychologists also suggest that laying wooden floors at home can reduce noise, make people more relaxed than laying tiles, and have a stress-relieving effect on more and more stressed urbanites. ”
Wood flooring can release negative ions, which should be a new scientific and technological achievement in the wood flooring industry in recent years; while in the ceramic tile industry, ceramic tiles that can release negative ions appeared earlier. In recent years, some companies have launched energy bricks and air purifiers. Bricks, it is difficult to tell which one is higher and which one is lower.

But generally speaking, wooden floors are not afraid of water. Instead of dividing wooden floors into solid wood floors, solid wood composite floors (multi-layer solid wood flooring) and laminate flooring (composite flooring) and other types to discuss whether they are afraid of water, nakedly in To generalize from one part to another. As an example, a friend of Xiaozhuang bought a finely decorated room with laminate flooring in the bedroom. During the process of customizing furniture before moving in, one day the furniture customization and installation worker forgot to close the window in one of his bedrooms. As a result, it was windy and rainy that night, and rainwater drifted into the windows, causing the wooden floor in that room to be soaked, and the room had to be renovated.

Refuting "environmentally friendly and harmless"
The original text says:
"Many big brand merchants now use advanced technology to produce and process wooden floors. They are made from natural wood and do not contain formaldehyde, so they do not cause any harm to the human body. This is why many families value solid wood floors. Natural wood itself does not contain formaldehyde. However, the quality of paint used by many small manufacturers to make paint boards is not up to par, which can cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard, so the credibility of the manufacturer is very important. Floor tiles are inherently radioactive and can cause certain harm to the human body."
In fact, "environmentally friendly and harmless" and "healthy and healthy" are repeated, and both mention the issue of whether wooden floors contain formaldehyde. From this point of view, the author of this article has confused thinking, leading to his extreme views. The reasons are traceable.
In general terms, wooden flooring basically does not contain other chemical components, and natural wood itself does not contain formaldehyde. Instead of dividing wooden floors into solid wood flooring, solid wood composite flooring (multi-layer solid wood flooring) and laminate flooring (Laminate flooring) and other categories to discuss whether it contains other chemical ingredients is undoubtedly challenging the IQ of consumers. Because, whether it is solid wood composite flooring or laminate flooring, glue containing formaldehyde will be used during the production process.

Radiation does exist in ceramic tiles. In fact, everything in the world has radiation. But just as the original article said, "The quality of the paint used by many small manufacturers to make paint boards is not up to standard, which can cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard." Some ceramic tiles produced by some lack of strength ceramic companies and brands may have radiation exceeding the standard, but powerful models This will not happen to ceramic companies and brands.
As for the saying that compared to ceramic tiles, wooden floors are less slippery, easy to construct, have strong thermal insulation properties, are low-cost, and feel comfortable underfoot. Objectively speaking, this is basically true and there is no big problem.
However, please don’t selectively ignore: first, ceramic tiles with anti-protection functions have long appeared in the building ceramics industry; second, ceramic tiles are more suitable than wooden floors for houses with floor heating; third, the purchase cost of solid wood floor materials may not be higher than that of ceramic tiles. The material purchase fee and paving fee are low.
Okay, the refutation is complete. When consumers decorate their houses, whether to buy ceramic tiles or wooden floors, I believe they will make the choice that suits them best based on the actual situation.
