Laying of parquet board

Parquet board is one of the fastest options for finishing the floor. For laying, you do not need any expensive tools or knowledge in the field of construction. Glue and other materials are always in the range can be found in any construction market. There are various ways of laying a parquet board from the classic Christmas tree and diagonal, to more complex techniques. If you intend to do all the work yourself, you should give preference to the simplest method. Below we will consider how to lay a parquet board of the bamboo type.

Technology of laying a parquet board

  1. As a rule, laying directly on the concrete screed . Use self-leveling floors to maximize surface leveling.
  2. After the floor is completely leveled, you can proceed with the next stage of laying the parquet board. On top of the floor fill the special substrate. Its thickness is 3 mm, such a substrate serves as a soundproofing, so when walking or throwing objects on the floor you will not hear a characteristic noise. The material is sold in rolls, the sheets between each put a tight joint in the joint and are fixed with adhesive tape.
  3. With this method of laying a parquet board, work starts from the wall. The clearance between the boards and the wall should be approximately 15 cm. For this, spacer wedges are used. Further, with the growth of the area of ​​the room, the gap itself will grow. If the length of the wall is about 8 meters, then the distance is 16 mm.
  4. The technology of laying a parquet board is largely twisted from the location of the window and the shape of the room. If the room is square, the boards are usually laid in the direction of the light from the window. For elongated board rooms, the location along the short side is usually chosen.
  5. When working, fixing occurs only between the boards, with the floor and walls there is no rigid connection. We place the first board with the left end facing the corner of the corner, continue the row along the wall. Typically, for typical rooms, two or three boards are sufficient. Extra cut off, taking into account the gap of 15 cm.
  6. Pay attention to the important point how to lay the parquet board: the cut end is always facing the wall, and the boards are connected only in the technological grooves.
  7. Glue for laying a parquet board every company offers its own or recommends several alternatives. The glue is applied along the end and longitudinal grooves. After applying a layer of adhesive composition it is necessary to connect the workpiece with two boards from the previous row and to tap a little. As a result, the excess glue will come out from the outside, we immediately remove it with rags.
  8. It is very important to knock correctly, because the strength of the whole structure depends on it. Never operate the hammer directly on the board itself. For these works there is a so-called doboynik. The last row of lay with a hammer will not work, here use a bracket made of metal.
  9. Special straps are used to tighten the boards. These belts are needed for the first two rows to make a single unit of them. Straps connect clamps, which evenly tighten the boards and squeeze out excess glue.
  10. When working, you will encounter the problem of deformation. Approximately after the fourth row, the ends of the boards begin to rise upward, they should be pressed with a load.
  11. The first row we started with the whole board, then the second one should start with pruning. Between the joints from the adjacent row, the distance must not be less than 50 cm.
  12. When the canvas is ready, you can proceed with the installation of skirting boards.
  13. The final stage will be the installation of a special paddle between our parquet floor and the adjacent covering.
  14. This option for laying a parquet board is one of the simplest. The end result looks quite harmonious, and a newcomer in the construction business will be able to cope with the work.
