Laying solid wood - we master all the possible technology

Laying solid wood: the preparatory process

Before installation of the cover, it is necessary to perform a number of preparatory work.First, the board must pass a kind of "acclimatization".This means that for three days, it should be in the room, so to speak, "used" to it.

While screed humidity before application should be no more than 12%, and 60% air.Secondly, it is worth considering that this coating be applied in any case can not be on a warm floor.It is proved by the fact that when heated base is a constant evaporation of moisture.The result is that flooring is deformed, and the change it will be impossible.It is necessary to change the material completely.

More detailed conditions spelled out in the existing SNIP 3.04.01-87, 04/03/80.According to the requirements of this document: installation of solid wood in the building is carried out in the last stage of repair work.

Technology laying solid wood

Depending on the design of the room, are the following ways of laying solid wood: the wooden cover;on concrete floors on joists or plywood;for load bearing timber structures.Consider the most detail each of them.

• Laying solid wood with their hands on the existing wood. This method is important assurance that the existing floor surface can support the additional load on the parquet.If no such guarantee, it is best to remove all the past cover.But when fear not, start the installation.First used grinder and abrasive belt for rough sanding base.Further, if necessary, make water resistant barrier.After laying a solid board carried in the same direction in which the old coating (in the transverse or diagonal) and was applied.
• Laying solid wood on plywood or logs, that is, concrete floors. To begin set joists or plywood parquet flooring for later. If the first option assumes , then assemble them using dowels or screws to the concrete floor.Between the logs should be a distance of about 25-30 cm, and they are placed in a perpendicular direction to the future coverage.What follows is an alignment layer.On the distance between them put a heater.Once implemented moisture insulation.Most often used for this film of polyethylene foam.And then put a massive board. If you need a second option - installing plywood (better to use water-resistant), then used sheets in size 1220 * 2440 or 1500 * 1500 mm.Their raskraivajut on a bandwidth of about 40-60 cm. Lay them in a diagonal direction to the future coating.They are fixed with screws and anchors to the concrete floor.
• laying on wooden joists used in cases where the reason for the massive board is a boardwalk, plywood.To begin set logs, which are aligned to the rule.Next to them is attached WATERPROOF film plywood and mounted in the same direction in which is mounted a massive board.Attach it with screws, the heads of which must be a little "drown" in the ground.The next step is rough grinding using a special apparatus and the abrasive belt.Only then proceed to the mounting of the parquet flooring.

Method of mounting a massive board

Once you have decided on the fact on what basis will be carried out the installation, create a question - and how to lay solid wood on this surface?Use screws with a pitch of 20-30 cm. Just before this zasverlivayut it from the other side, where there is a spike.Rods in the longitudinal and transverse directions tightly joined.This is especially easy to do if you use solid wood with a locking compound.

The first row is placed in the groove wall.Mounted by means of screws which are inserted into the edge strips, so that subsequently they are not visible under the baseboards.The last row is set the same way.In the event that solid board having a width of 150 mm, then through its upper portion is carried further fixation.The distance between all the floors and walls must be 7-10 mm.At the last stage mounted plinth.
