In the world of the floor, the expansion joint is like the behind-the-scenes hero of the "low-key luxury with connotation", silently supporting the stability and longevity of the entire floor system. You may not be aware of it, but without it, your life on the floor can be very confusing. Let me help you uncover the mystery of the expansion joint in a fun and easy way.

1. The "telescopic master" of temperature change
  The floor, like us, is afraid of heat and cold! When summer comes, the floor is like being "sunburned", and it expands greatly; When winter came, it shrank into a ball as if it were frozen again. If there are no expansion joints, then wait for a "disaster movie" - the floor will start to deform and even crack because it can't adapt to the temperature change! The expansion joint is like "sending an elastic underwear" to the floor, so that it can freely "breathe" and easily "stretch" between cold and hot changes.

2. "Anti-Warping" - Save your floor from warping
  That's right, a warped floor is no small problem. Not only can it make your home look like a "wavy floor," it can also cause you to stumble on it every now and then. Without expansion joints, the thermal expansion and contraction of the floor is like being trapped in a secret room, there is no place to stretch, only up "top"! At this time, the expansion joint stands out: "Don't be afraid, I will help you stretch your bones and keep it flat!" Its presence allows your floor to always remain smooth and beautiful, and will never become "undulating."

3. "Stability guard" -- make it through the party
  Imagine there's a big party at your house, the crowd stampedes, and the floor is under a lot of pressure. If there is no expansion joint, the floor is like a dancer with no breathing room, crowded and confused. But with the expansion joint, it is like opening a VIP channel for the floor, which can make it easily cope with environmental changes, no matter how you make a fuss, it can remain "calm". The expansion joint is the "stability guarantee" behind the scenes that silently supports the field.

4. The "savior" of future maintenance
  After many years, even if your floor still keeps its appearance level, there will always be small scratches that need to be repaired. The expansion joint then plays its role as a "maintenance savior" : with it, a small space is reserved between each board of the floor for easy removal and replacement. Without it, removing the floor is like "blacksmithing", so tired that you want to "return the floor". So, the expansion joint not only serves you now, but also saves you trouble in the future.

Summary: The floor's invisible 'superheroes'
  Although the expansion joint sounds like a "gap", its role can not be underestimated. It allows your floor to cope with temperature differences and humidity changes, maintaining beauty and durability. The next time you decorate the floor, remember to pay more attention to the expansion joint, after all, it is the hidden hero that makes your floor "double the life" and experience full marks! In a word, the expansion joint is like the floor's "freedom pass", so that it can breathe freely and fly!
