The flooring of this material requires special care, special skills and accuracy, but the wave actually put it with their own hands. Such an elegant, aesthetic and fashionable coating will always delight the eye, and also differ with wonderful quality and durability.

Parquet types:

Parquet artistic ("Palace")

This type of parquet is quite complex in manufacturing, laying and is considered the most expensive. Its production involved a whole team of designers, which creates unique drawings, as well as the most valuable trees breeds.

Shield parquet

Its feature is that the base is presented in the form of square panels made of chipboard or boards, which top kleyut straps, lacquering. Size panelboard parquet 80 × 80 or 40 × 40 cm and a thickness of 1.5-3.0 cm. Quite often, to impart the art form is applied several varieties of trees. He might be:

• from rectilinear tiled geometric figures;
• comprise shaped elements;
• be simple.

Rods have ridges and grooves, but are equipped with fitted edges. They Stela tightly to each other and kleyut on billboards.

modular flooring

It is a ready-made parquet modules, which are pre-coated figure.

Parquet board

It has varnished and is ready for installation.

Type of wood flooring:

• three-layer;
• bilayer;
• parquet array (whole plank).

In multilayer embodiments, layers create economy of softwood trees, to increase their moisture resistance paste on each other at an angle of 90 °. The internal construction is strengthened by a special cord, which is sandwiched between the strips of the top layer and the base. Parquet boards are attached to each other grooves and ridges. To lay them easier and faster, but you can not scrape.

Parquet floor (mosaic)

Due to the fact that this type of hardwood flooring strips have been collected in the drawing and on the front side pasted onto special paper, it can be quickly installed. The plates can have a different shape and texture of wood, as well as narrow blotches of different color plates.

parquet piece

It is the most common type of flooring. He made from dry and high-quality wood: oak, hornbeam, beech, maple, and other sawmills. Also on offer it meets flooring created from the Latin American and pressed bamboo trees.

Stacking of a parquet

Before starting the installation work should be calculated in detail, consider and select the desired image:

• deck;

• ordinary styling;
• christmas tree;

• diamonds;
• sheremetyevo star;
• direct square;
• vrazbezhku;
• oblique square, etc.

The main condition is considered to be the preparation of sex, because it - the basis of the right of parquet flooring technology. The surface must be durable, smooth and dry, so it is recommended to make the pre-coupler is not less than 50 mm thick, and then cover it with the waterproofing and moisture-resistant plywood lay on top.

Mount Technology veneer sheets:

• original sheets to be sawn into 4 parts;
• next, put it on one-component glue using dowels sampes;
• glue must be applied with a toothed spatula, and for dowels to drill 9 holes;
• hats of selflessness need to be dragged into plywood;
• after the plywood surface is ready, it should be collected.

Next, you can proceed to flooring.

The tool that will need:

• one hundred;
• toothed spatula (for mastic);
• cycle (useful for the cycloying of parquet);
• nails parquet;
• a hammer that has a bevelous volatile (to drive out nails in the groove);
• callorez;
• kiyanka;
• perforator or drill;
• screwdriver;
• hacksaw;
• electric jigsaw;
• corolnic;
• level;
• pencil;
• ruler.

Parquet laying methods:

Lags on the screed

In this case, the base will be rectangular bars from the tree - lags. They are recorded using 50 mM screws and dowels to concrete perpendicular to future coating. At the same time, the adhesive and bitumen mastic can be used to secure Lag. The lags should put a vapor and moisture protective film on which parquet is sprinkled.

Installation of parquet on the already available wooden floor

Parquet can be treated for this base if it can withstand the estimated load. If there is at least a small proportion of risk, then the floor is better to dismantle. When the floor is in good condition, you can begin to prepare the surface under parquet:

• the old base is treated with a grinding machine having a rough ribbon;
• then the surface is cleared of dust;
• ravor parquet is recommended across or diagonally diagonally.

Laying on concrete

Before flooring for the floor for the floor, a moisture and countertile barrier should be created, which will be separated by wood and concrete. You can apply mastic or primer, as well as a polyethylene foam film.

Parquet flooring on wooden bearing overlaps

In this case, the base can be:

• thick 15 mm plywood;
• 20 mm board;
• chipboard.

If the board is used, then it is necessary to fix it with 40-45 mm self-strokes with a step of 250-300 mm. In the event that it is steel without a special protective film, then you need to apply parquet glue. It is applied with a spatula on the perimeter of the board. Parquet flooring should be shrinking in a transverse and longitudinal direction, and gaps up to 10 mm are left between the wall and coating.

When using chipboard, you need:

• welcome floor with planed boards 35x15 mm;
• they must be present grooves and ridges;
• the floor is stacked by lags that are making a sound insulation building material;
• brick or concrete columns are put on the ground.

Next steam parquet:

• in the groove of the first board, laid by the wall, the crest of the second board is introduced using a hammer impact or compressing it through the gasket;
• the board is compressed and in the lower slot, the groove is robbed a nail at an angle of 45 °;
• the nail hat is heated.

Flooring parquet do it yourself

In order to highlight the flooring of the parquet, its base should be smooth and smooth. You can use Phaneur, draft floor created from CSP or OSB, etc. At the same time, the varnish floor is mounted on lags or on a concrete basis, which should be aligned with cement and sand with a screed.

Preparation of the foundation:

1. Before starting work, the foundation sheets cut into pieces of 700 mm. At flooring between them, one should leave small compensation seams (0.5-0.6 cm).

2. Stacking parquet is best done in the warm season and ensure that the cement base is fully sucked.

3. Next, the cement-sandy surface must be predicted with a special deep impregnation.

4. Used building materials should not be overpowered and have high humidity, so buy them in advance and leave for 30-40 days in the room where installation works will occur. From the parquet it is recommended to immediately remove the packaging and check its quality.

5. Fixation of the base to the overlap is carried out using one or two-component synthetic glue. Also additionally plastic dowels and screws with a step of 200-300 mm are used. Sheet joints need to be adjusted in height by applying a plane oarsal machine for this.

6. When the base is ready to start the installation of the dice. To fix them, glue, small nails or brackets that are driven at an angle of 45 ° are used.

Laying parquet:

1. Works begin depending on the type of parquet pattern and directions of it relative to the walls. In the event that the diagonal direction of the pattern is selected, you should start from the center of the room. If the pattern is used parallel walls, then from one of the walls. As the starting line, a cord or a fishing line is used, which is stretched among two nails.

2. In the course of the installation work, make sure that the parquet does not touch the walls by 0.5-0.8 cm. The resulting slot is further closed using a plinth.

3. In order for the dies to fit tightly among themselves, they are brushed with a hammer or a painting.

4. Upon completion of the work, it is necessary to give glue to dry well.

Grinding parquet.

To achieve an ideal surface and show wood texture, parquet is subject to:

• frame;
• varnish;
• cyclical (grinding).

Compared to the cyclical, which is made by one tool several times, grinding is done in several stages:

• we begin grinding work with coarse emery (P40-P50), with which they eliminate scratches and deep flaws;
• gradually, the emery graininess decreases to the P150 - P200 number.

Cyclovka and grinding is performed by painter or in the direction of wooden fibers.

Polishing parquet.

The final stage of the flooring of the parquet is a natch or polishing. This allows the wooden foundation to give a wooden base, protects against moisture and mechanical effects.

Frames can give a parquet enough deep and beautiful color, but it must be renewed regularly, therefore it is easiest to use a transparent varnish. It is necessary to apply it in several layers (from 3-5), each time giving the previous layer to dry. After that, the parquet is polished with felt, with a circular grinding machine or manually.
