Wooden floors were invariably popular when decorating a house. Once there was simply no particular choice, but now the wooden floor remains a frequent choice – its aesthetic qualities, environmental friendliness, cheapness, simplicity of processing and inherent in a beautifully and skillfully processed charm, warmth are valued in the tree.
That is why it is the floor of wood that is perfect for a suburban cottage. And the owners of the apartments will appreciate the good heat -insulating properties of the tree, as well as the soundproofing provided by this material. In both cases, a wooden floor when choosing high -quality raw materials and proper processing can last ten years, or even more.One of the main conditions is a good drying of a tree. For this, a mixture of concrete with sand is good for this. A typical choice of floor arrangement is boards 4 cm thick and about 10 cm wide. In general, the floor from narrow boards will cost cheaper, since a wide board is an expensive material; For the production of boards of more than 10 cm width, a more rigid sample and search for impeccable parts of wood is required.
Such a floor can be laid directly on concrete and on chipboard – a matter of possibilities and preferences. In particular, when laying on concrete, placed lags on supports of bricks, and put only to the future space under the floor, a good solution in the apartment will fill the space with soundproofing foam. Proceeding to direct styling, it is necessary to make sure that the crests of all the boards look in one direction. For reliability, you can fix the boards on the lags using nails.DIY wooden floor arrangement is a business in which a rush is not recommended. Before rushing to put skirting boards and fill the room, you should give a tree time to shrink; three to four days will be enough. A sign of a well -drying floor will be creaky when walking along it. After completion of installation work comes the time of painting. You can use varnish, you can paint, but this is an integral part, one way or another. Even if you like the tree in its pure form, the covering with a protective layer is the key to the long operational period. The application of paint should be performed along the fibers (in general, any such procedures are carried out along the fibers and never across), at least those times.
