Dampness or inadequate ventilation typically results in the growth of mold or mildew on wood surfaces. Mold usually appears as black or greenish-brown patches on surfaces in humid environments.
What's the Mildew/Mold?
Mildew is a common term used to describe both mold fungi and their discoloration to unfinished wood. Besides causing an unsightly appearance, spores from mold fungi can cause allergies and other health concerns. Mold fungi thrive in high humidity and are often seen on the northern exposure of wooden structures and on ceilings, joists, walls, and other surfaces in damp basements and other areas of high humidity, such as bathrooms. Mold fungi, which cause no damage to the wood other than unsightly discoloration, are typified by their colored spores (usually green or black). Differentiating between mold fungi and decay fungi is important because decay fungi actually weaken the wood structure. Brown rot, the most destructive type of deterioration caused by decay fungi, is typified by darkening and shrinking of the wood, with eventual crumbling in advanced stages of decay.
How can mold growth be discouraged?
• Increase ventilation in enclosed areas with fans and vents.
• Run a dehumidifier.
• Look for leaks in pipes and basements. Leaks may not be obvious; but continuously exposing wood to moisture encourages more destructive decay fungi to colonize the wood, possibly leading to structural problems. Once the humidity problem is eliminated, mold and mildew can be removed by cleaning the wood surface with one part household bleach mixed with four parts water. This removes most of the surface mold spores while renewing the look of the wood. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and be sure to dry the area after cleaning. Although mold fungi do not damage the wood, they do produce numerous spores and these spores can have an adverse effect on individuals with allergies. Cleaning the wood helps to eliminate that exposure.

Exposed to moisture for an extended period of time, bamboo flooring products can absorb moisture and weaken. Because bamboo is grass, the grain runs the length of the board. Inferior or inappropriate bamboo selection, the use of bamboo that is either harvested too young or not properly dried can be prone to changes in temperature and humidity. This can lead to cupping, warping and swelling of the material. Reason 1. Uneven distribution of floor moisture content 2. The floor is slotted on one side and not slotted on the other. The two sides of the floor are not the same as the air contact area, and the degree of water absorption is different, resulting in different moisture content on both sides of the floor. In the case of high air humidity, there is less water in the air without the slotting side, and the side of the back slot absorbs more water in the air, expanding the face surface of the back slot, but the surface of the plane does not expand, so the floor will bend like that of the plane. In the case of air drying, on the contrary, the board will bend like a slotted side. ▶▶ Solutions 1. In production: When health balance, drying should not be too fast, drying kiln to keep the temperature uniform; Try to make sure that both sides of the floor have the same texture 2. How to avoid before installation Proper expansion joints reserved for paving 3. After installation Because the weather humidity changes with the season, you can see if the floor will recover in a few months. If it is still tile, you can only replace the floor
We all know that the raw materials of SPC flooring are mainly composed of plastic and stone powder, the content of stone powder is too small, the RIGID SPC FLOORING is not strong and the cost will rise, and too much stone powder will also cause the floor to be brittle and easy to break
