Laying laminate

Most of the products provided with a sensible and articulate instructions. With their help, it is easy to make laying on the flat surface by the method of "floating floor" when the individual elements of cover are glued together on a "tongue in groove" or held together without glue (a system with a "snap"), and the resulting whole cover is mounted on the floor, without being glued to it. Floating floor need Sound Insulation substrate made of cork or foam. If not, then go on such a floor - all the same as knocking on a hollow drum. However, sound insignificant improve the acoustics in the room: each step will echo if the shoes on his heels. Therefore, when tested in the laboratory in terms of "mute shock noise" to assess laminate coatings were relatively low. Ukaldki process is carried out strictly according to instructions. It is relatively simple, if you observe a few rules. Used tool optimally concise - folding rule, struts, mounts, fastening seat belts and drink. The base for laying should be as smooth and dry. Before placing it must be like to sweep. Irregularities can be eliminated by any leveling compound, which can be purchased in specialty stores. Foundation of PVC or linoleum must be affixed over the entire area, otherwise they should be removed. Carpets are best removed, as on a soft base groove and tongue may break up. Before laying the laminate should pave the vapor permeable layer. Best fit for this plastic film. For sound insulation for floors laid a layer of corrugated cardboard, cork or similar sound-proofing material. A sound-absorbing pads that are sold in specialty stores, will help improve the acoustics of the room. Prior to joining the plates are sorted, the rough shall be rejected. Otherwise, the joints will be loose, and get them wet can cause swelling of the laminated cover. To fulfill the gap must first be placed on the plate about 1 cm from the wall: left gap is necessary to ensure that the material could "work." Otherwise, it is possible that the finished coating will be rested against the wall and formed a hall. When ukaladke longitudinal joints should run as far as possible in the direction of incidence of the primary source of light: if minor irregularities would not be so noticeable. With regard to joints, in order to meet the door sills and passages to other areas in need transitional profiles. Most often, this metal rack to compensate for the expansion of the material. The distance between joints is chosen as follows. Transverse joints of one row have to stand on the transverse joints of the next series of at least 40 cm Otherwise, they may differ by opening access to moisture. If the cosmetic repair of minor scratches can be repaired, not without effort. Need to clean up the floor area with sandpaper, then apply a new coating (wax, oil or acrylic paint for the floors). To refresh the coloring, you can use hard wax. When you move glued floor you can not take on a new apartment, but the laminate coating without glued joints can be dismantled and re-pack. With laminate Moderna Klick it will turn out pretty good, the Kronotex Isilock the tests were lightly battered "latch." By the way, if as a result you have to buy laminate flooring, there is no guarantee that the new design matches perfectly with the old.
