How to put under the laminate substrate - instruction video

based on any floor, even at first glance, seems to be very smooth, always has some bumps, bulges, roughness, imperceptible to the human eye.The term of service of a laminate floor is largely dependent on how well the substrate is made.After the foundation of the laminate - glass with all its inherent properties.Without laying a laminate substrate can not avoid deformation cover plates, or simply their failure.

Base layers under laminated are of different materials.Used and cork, and various synthetic materials, but functional purpose all the same.The substrate provides sound insulation of floors, compensates for uneven subfloor, provides additional insulation of the room.In other words, you need to create some kind of an intermediate layer before laying laminate.

next stage - laying vapor barrier film.Film should be used at least 0.2 mm thick.Lay the strip must be a sufficient overlap of the bands, that is, the next band should lean on the previous one.The last strip must capture section of the wall at a height of about 2 cm. It must be remembered that the film strip should be laid in the wrong direction, which will in future be laid laminate.It should also be borne in mind that it is necessary to leave room for an anti-expansion joint.

When laying tiles the substrate must be sure that they are as close as possible fit with each other.On the joints should apply the adhesive tape to create the required tightness - otherwise, the insulation quality will be worse.There is also a mandatory rule: the support of tiles laid up in aluminum foil, corrugated side - down.

are a variety of substrates - the difference in the producer and in the materials used, and, of course, price.When choosing a substrate, should focus on what it is, how and where it is located for any room.It does not interfere with the purchase and seller consultation.
