Laying a parquet board requires several stages of preparation. The base under the parquet board should be dry, clean and necessarily even. As it, a concrete or cement screed, all kinds of aligning mixtures, lags, wooden floor, etc. can be used as it. In the room where it is planned to start laying the parquet board, the air temperature should not exceed +18 C, and air humidity is about 30-60%. The board will definitely have to go through the adaptation stage within a week in this room. There are several ways to lay a parquet board: a floating technique, gluing, installation by means of nails to a black floor, as well as installation on the lags.
The so -called, floating method is the simplest and fastest. As you know, the parquet board itself is a rectangular tile, on the one side of which is a spike, and on the other, on the contrary, a groove. The laying process itself begins directly from the left far corner of the room. The light from the window should fall along the board so that the seams are less noticeable. However, in that case, its feature of the parquet board is such that it is required to emphasize its rustic structure, then you can lay boards and perpendicular. Also, quite often the parquet is laid, the so -called “Christmas tree”, t. e. diagonally. The first row of boards is glued with end edges. Sometimes the boards are not glued immediately, but at first they simply laid out on the floor and their outline is circled, and only then proceed to gluing. The second row of boards should be associated with the first on the principle of “spike into the groove”. The elements of the second row at the junction should be shifted exactly half relative to the first and smeared with glue. Когда промазывается только верхний паз, говорят об одностороннем склеивании, а если весь паз, то это двухстороннее склеивание. Also, sometimes resort to a bloodless method of installation of a floating floor. Modern parquet boards, as a rule, are already equipped with special locks, thanks to which two elements are reliably interconnected at an angle. With this method of laying, the floor is easily dismantled, but it is considered not a strong enough.
By the way, all the common options for installing a parquet board with photographs are presented on the information resource inf-repair.
A more complex and reliable way is gluing to the base. The styling methodology is almost the same as with a floating field, however, each board should be glued to the base additionally. Thus, the durability and stiffness of the coating is ensured. This method is quite laborious and costly. And also, dismantling of the surface will damage the base.
The massive parquet board is laid, as a rule, with the help of nails to the black floor. The nails, in this case, are clogged directly through the combs with the simultaneous use of the adhesive compound, as with the floating methodology. When laying small elements, this method is not used, since the risk of cracking them from nails is very high.
