The wooden floor in the house is considered to be an aesthetic and environmentally friendly solution. However, in practice it often turns out that making it is not so easy.
It is worth saying that the wooden floor in the house has high performance in terms of technical and operational terms. Flooring it begins after all the "wet" processes are completed. There are three main types of floors: wooden, parquet and wooden boards.
Before proceeding to the flooring, you should know about certain subtleties: in the production of works, the humidity of the air should not be more than 60%, and the temperature should not be less than + 8 degrees (on a Celsius scale). With daily use of floors it is important to follow the same procedure. High humidity leads to swelling of the floors, and low - to drying boards. Because of such negative factors, the wooden floor in the house quickly deteriorates. When choosing materials for the floor, you should pay attention to the condition of the boards. It is important that they do not have different bugs, and there should be no traces of mold or fungus. Under the floor plane it is important to create a ventilated space, and in the floor there should be ventilation grilles that will not allow the mold and fungi mentioned above to develop.
Before proceeding to the planking flooring, it is necessary to check the moisture of the boards, which should not be more than 12%. Such floors are laid directly on the beams, however, while the gap between them should be small. If there is a great distance between the beams, then they are laid on special boards, called lags, on which they make a wooden floor in an apartment or house. Between the logs, a gap of no more than 800-850 millimeters is made, and their thickness is 35-40 millimeters. If the boards are thicker, a more significant distance is allowed between the lags.
If the construction is carried out on reinforced concrete floors, the logs can be located at a distance of 400-500 millimeters. Under them should be put antiseptirovannye tape fiberboard, providing noise insulation. On the concrete floors between the floors of the log are stacked on a pile of slag and sand, providing sound insulation. Alignment on the horizontal surface is carried out with the help of sand, which is poured as necessary.
The wooden floor in the house can be made both from detached and from sheet-shaped boards. More expensive material is a lining, which not only provides excellent thermal insulation, but is often treated with antiseptics. Shpuntovannaya board is also attractive because after installation on the floor can not see the hats nails. Wagon flooring is of the same size, but they do not need a thorough fit, which can not be said of boards trimmed at the ends.
If we talk about how to insulate the wooden floor, then it is appropriate to use any available materials. At the moment there are no problems with their acquisition, as the market is ready to provide a lot of various options.
So, after the wooden floor in the house is made, you can proceed to its final processing. But this is a separate story!
