Features plank floors

Vitaly Lviv plank flooring plank directly on the beams when they are located at the right distance from each other, and laid on their board - do not bend while walking. When the beams are laid often and laying floor boards are thin, then the beams having antiseptirovannye lining of fiberboard or other material, placed first lags humidity of not more than 18%. This is done to protect the wall against the penetration of the sound on them from walking or striking on the floor. Construction plank floors can be different. When the device of reinforced concrete slab floor laid on joists spaced 400-500 mm, but not directly on the floor, and the stacked along their entire length of the strip antiseptirovannoy fibreboard. When the plank floors of brick or concrete column, the upper part of them thoroughly equal, that they were in all directions at the same level. On top of putting two layers of roofing or roofing material on them - antiseptirovannuyu wood lining, and at her - lag. If underground dry enough, the waterproofing is better to put on two levels: on top of brick columns and at 100-150 mm above ground level. Plank floor should be very accurate. Therefore, beams and joists are placed strictly on the level, length and width of the room. Lags used in nestroganyh boards 2 and third grades needed moisture. Wood can be softwood and hardwood (except lime and poplar). When installing the lag in the columnar base distance between such pillars of the axes depends on the thickness of the lag. When the thickness of the lag distance of 40 mm - 900 mm, 50 mm - up to 1100, 60 mm - 1200-1300 mm. This should take into account the thickness of the flooring planks for the floor. Lags in this case take a width of 100-120 mm. On a continuous basis (on board) is laid joists 25 mm, width 80-100 mm. Under these joists must put a solid sound-proof lining of fiberboard thickness of not less than 12.5 mm. Lags and washers must be antiseptirovannymi. If the joists are laid on the intercommunication reinforced concrete, the soundproof backfilling are sand, slag grains no larger than 10 mm. Moisture content of these materials should not exceed 10%. Filling poured over the entire surface overlap evenly with a minimum thickness of 20 mm. Fig. 1. Flooring plank floors 1 - mounting boards, 2 - floorboards, 3 - jointing boards, 4 - rallying boards using staples Smolyakova 5 - Bracket Smolyakova equalize Logs, podsypaya sand under acoustic lining. Wedges for this purpose should not apply, may dry up and get out of lag. Lag length of not less than 1000 mm can be butt butt and always on the anvil. Fasten the ends of the lag that they are not separated. In narrow places, such as hallways, logs laid crosswise, and the board - in the direction of movement in rooms with windows - across the direction of window light. Evenness of the surface of the lag-meter test fugovannoy rack level. Rack should deal arranged lag without gaps. Fig. 2. Laying the closing board of the clean floor and - with plywood and wooden strips, b - with a plywood strip and wedge, 1 - plywood, 2 - Strip 3 - batten 4 - Wall, 5 - Wedge plank floor boards in two ways: the usual - nails pierce the front side planks and parquet - hammer nails at an angle of 45 ° C in the corner of the ridge to tap the cap into the timber. During the construction of wooden houses floor joists are often cut in the lower crowns. In this case, the beam is well retained at their ends in the walls and not allow them to bend in the road. However, in this case, the sound is transmitted from the floor and walls created by increased noise. It is better to lay beams on the posts I so that the ends of beams do not touch the wall or between a soundproof lining antiseptirovannyh materials. Processing plank floors before starting to varnish or stain plank flooring and parquet floors, check the surface and remove with her flaws. You also need to calculate the total area of ??the workpiece. Decide with color. For work you will need: brush the dust, rags for cleaning and a vacuum cleaner, a sponge for washing, water, scraper, shlifbumaga and steel spatula; floteksny or moherny roller or wide brush when applying water-based lacquer sticks for mixing, brush for applying varnish width 3-4 inches - flushing solution to wash the old floor, mineral spirits, wood putty to seal pores, paint, insulating varnish for knots for the treatment of new floors, a brush width of 1 inch; Economic alcohol. If you're going to gloss over the surface instead of paint you will need: plain or water-borne varnish (for a new plank or parquet sealer). If you embark on a new coloration plank floors, proceed as follows: 1. Clean the surface from dirt and dust shlifbumagoy and brush or vacuum cleaner. 2. Remove the resin from knots with a steel spatula and treat them with varnish. 3. Seal the potential potholes and hollows of wood putty. 4. Primed in a single layer of paint, thinned 20-25% with white spirit. 5. Colour the one-two coats of undiluted high-gloss paint. 6. Brush on varnish clear economic alcohol, and other tools - white spirit. For processing previously painted or varnished plank flooring: 1. The surface of the wash solution, rinse thoroughly with clean water. 2. Old peeling paint and slaboderzhaschuyusya remove scraper. 3. Surface polished to matt shlifbumagoy, remove dust with a brush or vacuum cleaner. 4. Primed with one coat thinned 20-25% with white spirit or places, either on the surface, depending on the condition and color of old paint. 5. Painted in one coat gloss paint undiluted. 6. Tools to clean with white spirit. When varnishing new plank flooring and parquet floors require a somewhat different procedure works: 1. Clean surface from dirt and dust shlifbumagoy and brush or vacuum cleaner. 2. Remove the resin from knots with a steel spatula. 3. Seal the potential trough filler for wood. 4. Primed with one coat thinned 20% of white spirit varnish. 5. Varnish with two coats of undiluted high gloss varnish, or gloss, or gloss urethane varnish aklkidnym. 6. Tools to clean with white spirit. There is a new version of the painting surface coatings, water-based: 1. Clean surface from dirt and dust shlifbumagoy and brush or vacuum cleaner. 2. Seal the potential trough filler for wood. The original color of the floor is achieved by mixing the dust from sanding and varnish. 3. Primed with three layers of primer paint with a spatula made of stainless steel. Floor sanding after the first layer. 4. After drying primer to produce a finishing spraying in 2-3 layers of paint with a finishing floteksnogo mohernogo or spatula. Alternative: a finishing lacquer can be applied and the broad brush in 2-3 layers. The first layer should be thin, dried-up surface sanded before applying the second coat. Spraying a finishing brush to make 2-3 layers. Upon completion of work, the tools should be washed with soap and water. Perestilka plank floor boards if worn, and some of them need to be replaced, among them formed large cracks or board while walking across the floor sag ("go"), they need perestelit. Repair floors with such defects is reduced mainly to rallying the floorboards and replace individual damaged boards. If the boards have rotted or broken one of the ends, wipe it with a chisel (not removing all the floorboard) and replace with a suitable piece of board. Of course, inserted a piece should draw at least two joists. Before rallying, first remove the baseboard, then release the floorboards, for which ax consistently raise the planks and protruding nails pulled out a claw hammer. Separate board must be careful not to damage their crest. Before laying of new or refined old boards need to carefully check the reliability of the installation log, the presence of soundproofing and leveling pads. Rallying sex begin with, the nail adjacent to the wall board with nails in length 2.5 times its thickness, then pressed her another plank (with staples driven into the joists, and wedges) so that the gaps between the floorboards were not more 1 mm. The further process of laying boards described above. Irregularities arising in the process of rallying the floor, remove planers (do not forget the nails!). Planing floor boards should not only along, but obliquely, and transversely, checking line clarity and straightforwardness of the surface. The remaining small gap close up with special fillings. At full perestilke floors with heavily worn boards clean, level floor surface can be obtained only after the installation of back-up boards. When laying the boards are selected so that more of them are clean and free from knots, kill, and other defects plank in the rooms, but with defects - in the corridors, dim rooms. When perestilke old worn-out boards is sometimes better to use a new, thicker than the old board. At the bottom of hem against lag in such a way that, when they were laying on a par with the old. Under such boards enclose cardboard, roofing, roofing material, but not chips.
