Young children are the young flowers and the sun of tomorrow. The environmental design of kindergartens needs to pay more attention to environmental protection and safety issues than ordinary places.
Among them, the ground is the unit with the largest pavement area, and the materials used need to be more careful. Next, let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of several common floor coverings.
1. Kindergarten ground renovation materials: indoor chapter.
The indoor space of the kindergarten is relatively closed, the ventilation effect is poor, and special attention should be paid to the problem of formaldehyde when choosing the ground material to prevent the negative impact on the physical development of young children.
1. PVC flooring.
PVC flooring, also known as floor glue, is a kind of floor decoration material with polyvinyl chloride and its copolymer resin as the main raw material, which is widely used in education, industry, commerce, home decoration and other places.
From an aesthetic point of view, PVC flooring is rich in colors, diverse patterns, and can even be customized according to needs, so designers have more room to play. From the perspective of use, PVC flooring has good thermal stability, and has good fireproof, waterproof and mildew-proof effects. The good elasticity also reduces the injuries caused by children falling during frolicking and playing.
It should be noted that PVC flooring has high requirements for paving technology and ground condition. If the ground is uneven and the construction is not in place, there may be problems such as hollowing and warping in the later stage of use, and it needs to be repaired in time.
2. Solid wood flooring.
As the name suggests, hardwood flooring is a floor formed by cutting and processing directly from naturally grown wood. Its unique texture and natural and authentic style are conducive to creating a warm and comfortable indoor environment.
However, from the perspective of cost performance, solid wood flooring is not the best choice. Solid wood flooring is more expensive, and it is not resistant to humidity and high temperatures, and requires regular waxing and maintenance, which is more time-consuming and energy-consuming.
3. Composite wood flooring.
Compared with solid wood flooring, composite wood flooring not only retains its natural and elegant style, comfortable foot feeling and good thermal insulation performance, but also is not easy to crack and deform, and is more cost-effective.
However, a large number of adhesives are used in the production process of composite wood flooring, and formaldehyde problems are inevitable. When used in indoor spaces for young children, it is necessary to be more careful and select reliable brands.
2. Kindergarten ground renovation materials: outdoor chapter.
The outdoor space is open, and the ground space needs to face the sun, wind and rain, and special attention needs to be paid to the functions of anti-aging, waterproof and anti-corrosion in the selection of materials.
1. Artificial turf.
Green is the most comfortable color for the human eye, so many kindergartens tend to have a lot of lawn outdoors. But real lawns need to be mowed, watered and fertilized regularly, and they also need to worry about their withering and yellowing with the seasons.
In this case, artificial turf is a good alternative. It is made of soft synthetic fibers, which are bright and long-lasting, have a long service life, low maintenance costs, and a high price ratio.
However, compared with natural turf, although artificial turf can effectively prevent dust, it does not have the effect of purifying the air, draining and preventing waterlogging. Conversely, low-quality artificial turf can also release chlorine gas from intense sunlight, reducing air quality.
2. Suspended assembly floor.
Suspended assembled flooring is also called combined sports flooring, and the finished product is block-shaped and can be spliced freely. Because the material is PP material, it is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, so it is often used in outdoor venues such as basketball courts, badminton courts, and football fields.
For kindergartens, its good shock absorption, drainage and safety performance also perfectly adapt to its own needs. However, the suspended assembly floor has higher requirements for ground flatness, and whether to choose it also needs to be considered according to the specific situation.
3. EPDM plastic floor.
EPDM plastic floor has good stability, good elasticity, waterproof and anti-slip performance, and is suitable for outdoor sports venues.
The disadvantage is that in the high temperature season in summer, the EPDM plastic floor of poor quality may release a pungent odor.
There are a variety of ground pavement materials, which materials are selected, and various factors such as climate, geography and area of the area where the kindergarten is located need to be comprehensively considered. But no matter what material is chosen, we put children's health first in design and construction.
