In the northern winter floor heating environment, what range should the moisture content of the armchair be controlled within?
Release Time : 2025-05-15
After the floor heating in the north is turned on in winter, the indoor environment will become dry and warm. This special condition puts strict requirements on the moisture content management of rubber wood armchairs. As a natural material, wood is extremely sensitive to changes in environmental humidity. In a high temperature and low humidity environment, excessive water loss will cause rubber wood to crack, deform and other problems, seriously affecting the service life and structural stability of the armchair. Therefore, accurate control of the moisture content of the rubber wood armchair is the key to ensure its normal use in the northern floor heating environment.
The moisture content of the rubber wood armchair needs to be controlled within a reasonable range. Too high a moisture content will cause the wood to continue to lose water and shrink under the baking of the floor heating, causing cracks in the chair body and loose mortise and tenon joints; while too low a moisture content will make the wood fragile and easy to break, and lose toughness. The appropriate moisture content can keep the rubber wood in good flexibility and strength, so that the armchair can not only resist the influence of the dry environment, but also maintain a stable structure.
Controlling the moisture content of the rubber wood armchair needs to start from the source of production. Professional drying treatment is essential at the log stage, which gradually reduces the internal moisture of the wood to make it suitable for processing. During the processing, humidity management in the production workshop is equally important. A stable humidity environment can prevent the wood from cracking due to rapid water loss during cutting and carving. After the finished product is assembled, the armchair needs to be placed in a specific environment to ensure that the internal moisture of the wood is evenly distributed and eliminate potential stress hazards.
Floor heating environment will cause local temperature and humidity unevenness, which poses an additional challenge to the moisture content management of rubber wood armchairs. The bottom of the chair is directly in contact with the ground and is more affected by the heat of the floor heating. It is easy for the bottom to dry faster than the upper part; the parts close to the heat source will also accelerate moisture loss due to the dryness of the local environment. These differences may cause uneven shrinkage of the wood, which in turn causes deformation or cracking. Therefore, it is particularly important to place the armchair in a reasonable position to avoid it being directly near the heat source.
In daily use, users can use a variety of methods to determine the moisture content of the rubber wood armchair. Although professional testing is not possible, by observing whether there are small cracks on the surface of the wood, touching the hardness of the wood, and checking whether the mortise and tenon structure is loose, we can roughly understand whether the moisture content of the armchair is within the normal range. If abnormalities are found, timely measures should be taken to prevent the problem from worsening.
Once the rubber wood armchair is deformed or cracked due to moisture content problems, different repair strategies need to be adopted according to the degree of damage. For minor problems, it can be repaired by local humidification, applying protective agents, etc.; for more serious damage, it may be necessary to disassemble the parts for reprocessing, or even return to the factory for repair. Timely and effective repair measures will help restore the performance and appearance of the armchair.
In order to ensure the long-term and stable use of the rubber wood armchair in the northern floor heating environment, in addition to controlling the moisture content in the production process, users should also do a good job of maintenance during daily use. Choose a suitable placement to avoid direct sunlight and heat baking; regularly maintain the armchair, apply protective oil or wax to form a protective barrier; pay attention to changes in indoor humidity, and use a humidifier to adjust the ambient humidity when appropriate. A multi-pronged approach is needed to keep the rubber wood armchair in good condition during the dry winter.
