Floor repair is the most time -consuming work in the arrangement of the apartment, as well as the most responsible. If the apartment on the floor has old creaky boards or an already completely unsuitable, wiped parquet, which is not subject to restoration, it is recommended to do its full dismantling, in other words, remove the floor from the floors.
If the apartment has still a solid parquet or shown boards only causing a small creak when walking on them, then it is recommended not to rush with dismantling. You can only pull with self -tapping screws with a screwdriver or drill only those places that creak.
Now in the modern world the most easy and inexpensive way of updating the floors is laminate laying. There are a great many varieties of laminate in stores. It differs in the class, if there is a large load on the floor, that is, it is a production room or office, then you need to choose a coating at least 32 classes. And if it is an apartment or a private house, then 31 class is quite suitable, respectively, good quality. By the way, it can also be used as a decorative coating of radius cabinets or simple wardrobes. You can create an excellent decor crossing from floor to furniture and walls. The wear of such a floor covering is almost minimal with long -term use. In no case should you “chase” at a low price, when choosing a laminate – this is an unacceptable mistake. This material also has a large selection of colors and shades, mainly imitating wood. It is necessary to choose a decor that is most suitable for the room in the room, or in other words, to furniture in color.
There are two ways to lay laminate:
The first way is adhesive, that is, styling is carried out by masters by professionals using moisture -resistant glue.
The second castle method is used when laying it with your own hands. If the laying of the laminate is not produced by a professional, then it is better to choose the second method. Particular attention must be paid to the substrate for the coating called isolon. It is best chosen 3 mm thick for a softer spring effect when walking on the overloaded floor. With the locking method of laying, just snap the panels with each other, laying them in a checkerboard pattern. Of course, when decorating radius corner cabinets, the substrate is not needed at all. The flooring itself is not suitable for installation in the door. There are separately designed laminated layers with wood decor, which can be selected by color and texture exactly in the floor.
