Tree at all times has been highly popular in construction. This material is environmentally friendly, practical, well maintains heat, gives a pleasant smell and has an attractive appearance. But in the presence of such a number of advantages, wood has one drawback - absorption of moisture. This negatively affects the safety of the material. Over time, this circumstance will result in the result when a wooden coating will be in disrepair. For this reason, the floor can be waterproofing.

Varieties of wooden floors

Water-insulation of the wooden floor is certain measures aimed at creating a protective layer on the floor covering from the receipt of undesirable moisture. Select the method of insulation work is necessary, depending on the type of ceiling. To date, experts distinguish these types of design:

1. Floor floors. This coating is performed using special boards having a groove, the thickness of which usually exceeds 30 mm.
2. Floor coating based on wood stoves. Such materials include such plates as: chipboard, plywood, OSB.
3. Parquet floors. This species is a coating with a plug, parquet boards or laminate.

Waterproofing floor in a wooden house should be provided at the design of the construction. At the construction stage of the building, the lagows should be treated with an antiseptic before assessing them. Supports on the foundation for lag must be wrapped with an insulation material. For example, rubkeroid. This will create protection for wood from the conjunction and condensate.

Criteria for selecting insulation material

In order for the construction to serve a long time and did not lose operational qualities, when choosing a waterproofing material, it is necessary to focus on such criteria as:

1. Small weight, thanks to which the load on the foundation will not be created.
2. Heat insulation properties. It is important that the material not only defended the floor from the receipt of moisture, but also maintained heat that will reduce heating costs.
3. The material must be convenient to use and easy to install. And also have durability and be durable.
4. During the operation of the insulating layer, the threat to the health of those living in the house should not arise, so the material must be hypoallergenic and non-combustible.
5. Also should pay attention to the price. High-quality material can not cost too cheap.

Types of waterproofing

Before making the waterproofing of the wooden floor, it is necessary to thoroughly think out the method of creating an insulating barrier so that the protective layer can effectively impede moisture inward in the design for a long time. Specialists distinguish between several types of waterproofing. Consider them in more detail.

Inlet isolation

Such a technique involves the use of sheet and rolled materials, which are covered by the base. The surface is pre-purified and dried, after which it is applied to a layer of 1.5 mm layer. The rolls are stacked on top, which are attached to the base with a solvent-based adhesive. This waterproofing of the wooden floor under the tile can be made even in several layers. It depends on how much the floor is susceptible to the negative impact of moisture. In turn, this type of technique may include polymer, bitumen and bitumen-polymeric insulation, which depends on the type of material used.

Plaster waterproofing

This type of methodology is the creation of a protective coating layer with a cement-sand tie. The composition is usually applied by several layers to the surface, which, before starting work, it is necessary to clean from the existing pollution and eliminate all cracks and irregularities.

Cast insulation

This type of waterproofing is performed by applying different solutions and mastic. This technique is the most reliable of all existing species and is performed in such a sequence:

1. Before applying cast waterproofing, the base must be cleaned, close the existing cracks and wait for the base to dry.
2. Then, applying hot temperature bitumen, perform primer.
3. After that, sheet insulation is stacked. Mount the insulation material is needed using a hot or cold method. Hot suggests the use of the gas burner, and the cold is performed using a spatula or brush.
4. Next, it is necessary to wait until the coating will find it, and lay the screed. To do this, you first need to put a metal mesh, and then apply a solution of liquid glass, cement and sand.
5. We apply another insulating layer of cement composition. The screed layers do not have abrasion resistance, so you should put a parquet coating on top.
6. Also as cast isolation is possible to use a bulk sex. Such gender is a polymeric coating, which includes resin epoxy and polyurethane.

Painting isolation

Such protection involves the use of varnishes - bituminous and polymeric, which should be applied to the surface in several layers:

1. Before applying the varnish, the flooring should be pasted, to be treated with a specific means for degreasing.
2. Then he carefully dry.
3. Such a protective layer is most affordable, but requires a regular update with periodicity of 5 years. Over time, under the influence of temperature drop, the lacquer will lose elasticity, will become fragile and will need to be updated.

Beep insulation

Such a waterproofing technique involves the use of concreteite - special bulk materials that fill the necessary space. In the process of interaction with water, this material takes the shape of the gel and thereby creates a reliable layer and does not let water.

Liquid rubber

Performing waterproofing of a wooden flooring with liquid rubber is an innovative method of protecting the floor from a detrimental effect of moisture. Two groups of liquid rubber distinguish:

1. The first includes the material that is applied by the automation method with the help of special equipment. This method is used for waterproofing large areas.
2. Liquid waterproofing for a wooden floor that is applied manually. It is applied in cases when it comes to several tens of square meters.

The use of liquid rubber will make it possible to achieve the effect of sealing, fill all the cracks and eliminates the defects of the floor. This material is quite easy to use, elastic, is easily applied. It is also economically consumed and has good adhesion (attachment property) relative to any surface. This rubber is rather durable, will not lose its properties in rooms with high humidity.

Also important fact is that it does not highlight substances harmful to health. After drying, a durable, well-glued film, which does not miss steam and water is formed. Making a choice in favor of liquid rubber, a certain point should be taken into account. The color of this material is black, so it is important to think about how an aesthetic appearance will eventually have the floor.

Application of waterproof plates

Under these stoves, it is customary to understand the waterproof Phaneru, which is used in shipbuilding. This plywood is made with the use of bakelite varnish, which has resistance to moisture. As well as a dry-fiber plate, which is impregnated with a special composition creating an obstacle to water intake. Before using such plates, it is necessary:

1. Treat the floor covering with mastic or put the rolls of the hydrostroy material.
2. Plates should be laid in several layers. At the same time, the middle of the top sheet should accomplish the joints of the Nizhny seams.
3. The joints fill in the sealant and let it carefully.

This method of insulation of the floor from moisture refers to the least costly, but at the same time not inferior in quality to other species.

Features of waterproofing depending on the type of floor

Waterproofing of the wooden floor with their own hands has its own characteristics. If there is a speech on the wooden coating, located on the lags, for them, as a rule, brick columns serve as a support. There should be insulation from moisture between lags and columns:

1. To do this, use only referencer, which is attached to the base with the help of bitumen mastic.
2. Also, the mastic is applied between the layers of the material.
3. The bar is stacked, pre-impregnated with the protective composition, the thickness of which should be 30 mm.
4. Lugi is stacked on the bar, also impregnated with the composition.

If the floor is stacked on beams, the support for which is only the walls of the building to protect against moisture you need to make a high underground - from 500 mm.

If the wooden floor is laid on the ground, it is recommended to carry out such manipulations:

1. First remove the soil layer, then the dumping ground.
2. After that add rubble, pour the layer of concrete.
3. Top to lay two layers of rubberoid or roofing on bitumen mastic.
4. Then the surface should be pouring the cement solution, align the screed.
5. After that, apply a layer of hot bitumen, from top to which to put a wooden coating.
6. Available seams should be sharpened.

Qualitatively performed waterproofing will create floor protection from exposure to water, steam, and will also help maintain heat and improve the appearance of the coating.
