How to maintain wood veneered panels and wood floorings? | Interior Surface Solutions－KD Panels

Home, is the origin of our own universe. Every home is a dream slowly piled up brick by brick. Wooden spaces enhance the warm atmosphere of your home that conserves your best memories. However, will it be difficult to maintain wood floorings and wood veneered cabinets? In fact, it is not difficult at all. With the correct methods, it is possible to reach the maximum longevity of the products. Daily maintenance is key to maintaining the appearance. This article would introduce you the correct methods of maintaining the products to extend the lifespan.
 

Wood veneered panels can be cleaned up by removing away the dust during casual cleaning. Since wood floorings has direct contact with occupants, stains, water stains and debris get caught up in the gaps inevitably. However, the particles could be easily removed by vacuum cleaners. Remember to avoid exposing the wood panels to moisture for long periods of time to prevent deformation. The quality of the panels plays a crucial role in future maintenance. Quality wood materials and premium wood panels or plywood products are processed through multiple procedures and inspected thoroughly. When it comes to surface finishes, durability is extremely important besides the design and aesthetics. Without professional treatments and procedures, the longevity of wood panels drastically reduces due to damages or deterioration. KD products are not only strictly inspected but also certified as chemical resistant and stain resistant. KD always aim to provide our customers the best product quality.

Cabinets and walls often collects dust, but wood floorings has to stand the wear and tear caused by children’s toys, brushes, as well as drinks, food, etc. If the quality of the wood flooring is not good enough, the stains could possibly seep directly into the flooring, which could ruin the aesthetics or even damage the materials. Therefore, the question is how to maintain wood veneered panels and wood floorings? Let’s take a look!
 

Compared to wood flooring cleaning, prefinished wood veneered panels normally require a dust mop or a dry cloth to remove dust. Light stains can be removed by wiping with a cloth wrung out of water. For regular maintenance, evenly apply furniture polish on the surface, and then wipe out the excess with a dry cloth. By doing so, the texture of the wood grain could be enhanced and achieve a more delicate touch. However, oxidation of wood products is an inevitable phenomenon. Still, as long as you avoid prolonged sunlight exposure or choose panels with darker colors, you can avoid the discoloration after oxidation of veneered panels. Moreover, in order to maintain the texture of the 3D wood grain, add a layer of protection before placing items on the panels.
 

KD strictly controls the quality of wood materials, while choosing the safest low-formaldehyde plywood. Top-notch UV coatings are applied to our pre-finished veneered panels to completely cover the pores and provide advanced protection for the veneer surfaces while maintaining the surface transparency.
Under the protection of the UV coating, the surface hardness reaches 6H of CNS standards. The surface is not only abrasion resistant, scratch resistant, and durable, but also chemical resistant. Therefore, even stained by a permanent marker, the stain could be easily removed by wiping with alcohol or chemical solvents. Regarding wood floorings, our products has passed CNS certifications relating to flame retardancy, chemical resistance, stain resistance, and resistance to cigarette burns. Precisely machined latches provide seamless gaps between pieces to prevent liquids from penetrating the gaps, which makes our floorings easy to maintain.
