Most mass-produced flooring from major brands is largely similar. The production of general flooring is also simpler compared to teak flooring. However, teak flooring is quite special, requiring a high level of craftsmanship. Any mishandling of any step in the process-from the storage and processing of Burmese teak, drying, sun-drying (photosynthesis), roller coating penetration, and grain classification-will affect the quality of the teak flooring and the final installation effect.
First, material selection is crucial; good materials are the foundation. Second, experience and skill in controlling the heat are equally important. It's like cooking; everyone may know what ingredients to add and the order in which, but different people will produce different flavors. This requires not only strict material selection, professionalism, and focus, but also, and more importantly, valuable experience built upon that foundation. Guangyi Wood Industry has a strong grasp of teak, having researched and studied it for over 50 years, from international timber trade to flooring production. Regarding raw material selection, in 2012, there was a lot of plantation-grown teak on the market, but every piece of teak from Guangyi is made from natural, virgin forests. Take the crucial step of sun-drying in the production of Burmese teak flooring, for example. There's no fixed number of days for sun-drying, as the daily sunlight intensity varies, and winter and summer are vastly different. Experienced judgment plays a vital role. This crucial sun-drying process directly affects the clarity and beauty of the teak's grain.
Rich in oil and iron, teak is a core characteristic that makes it a globally recognized top flooring material. Its drying process is highly specialized and professional. Any unprofessional methods that cause oil loss or damage can compromise quality. The manufacturing process of teak flooring needs to fully preserve the oil components in the teak. General flooring production typically uses high-temperature drying. Ideally, teak flooring would be best dried naturally, but this is difficult in actual production, requiring solutions to numerous issues such as material costs (capital tied up) over a period of more than two years, production and management costs, and localization of moisture content.
