Parquet Flooring Installing Floating O

To install a laminate floor and hardwood flooring it is best to hire a professional installer, as this can solve any unforeseen or complication and offer a warranty on the work done.

If you still want to install have to follow the manufacturer's installation recommendations and a set of guidelines or advice to be considered for proper installation of the platform.

Materials Needed

The materials needed are tables or parquet laminate flooring, under floor (thermal insulating foam roll and / or anti-noise that is placed between the stage and the old pavement), baseboard, nails, silicone coating substances, boards transition, if necessary.

On steps: Tables (pallet), profiles of stairs to the nose of the step, foam tape to stick the table at the step (in this case the ground has no insulating base, the table is attached to the ground.) Silicone coating substances, for beauty shots.

Tools

The tools needed for proper installation of platform are: miter saw, jig saw, hammer, a meter, a square, a cutter and a pencil. In addition we need a mounting kit pallets of the same brand as the tables (to avoid incompatibilities). This kit usually includes a plastic plug to hit on him with the hammer, wedges to separate the tables from the wall and a strip blades for tables.

Calculation of Material to Buy

Land and under-floor insulation: To calculate the materials needed to install a floating platform or a floating parquet is essential to know the superficietotal in m2. (Square meters) of the area to install either a home, shop or any other room.

The amount of groundwater necessary stage and will equal the square footage + 10% extra for cuts and waste.

Plinth: To calculate the necessary meters baseboard, just the walls to be measured will put skirting.

1. Acclimation of the sheets. Importantly, before installation the boards must remain at least 48 hours to adapt to the conditions of temperature and humidity of the room where they will be installed. Ideally, the room temperature exceeds 17 º C and humidity between 50% and 70%. Packages must be closed.

2. Clean the area and eliminate any irregularities. Make sure the soil is completely dry. If there are slopes greater than 3 mm in 1 m should be equated with paste pre-leveling.

3. Lowered gates and fences. When installing laminate or parquet flooring will raise a few millimeters ground level so you should lower the gates and fences. To calculate the height of the door, you put a table on the platform chosen on a piece of insulating blanket by the door, this is the height of your new floor. Check the door and frame or frame with a pencil, pick up the door and cut or rebájala where is the mark and repeat the cut on the door frame to fit under the floor. This way you ensure that the doors do not cause marks and normally open without touching the ground. If your doors have metal fences can not cut them so you have to cut the fence of a table leaving 3 mm stage. clearance for expansion of the soil. This margin should be filled with silicone after installation is complete.

4. Extending the insulation blanket or covering the whole surface underground installation in a margin of 10 to 15 cm. to reach the walls. The basement insulation should always extend perpendicular to the orientation in which the tables will be placed. Usually the manufacturers recommend that the tables are placed perpendicular to the window or natural light to enter the room but this may vary according to taste or preference in each case. It is very important to extend the insulation strips not mount on other as this generates a significant drop once the floor is installed.

5. To place the slats or boards it is best to start with the wall opposite the door of the room.

- The first row of tables is special. With the saw must remove the side "macho" or system of tongue and groove side click and it should be placed against the wall. The first row of planks should be placed approximately 5 mm from the wall leaving room for expansion, this is very important that the soil will not deform with changes in temperature and humidity. To maintain the margin expansion that we use wedges usually come in the manufacturer's installation kit. If not we can use a piece of wood the right thickness. After placing the first table is to continue engaging the tables from left to right to complete the first row remembering to remove the side "macho" click system that is against the wall. Once we reach the lateral wall have to cut the last board to fit snugly leaving room for expansion of 5 mm, with the side wall.

- The second row and the others. There are two ways to begin the second row of tables. The first is to start with the last table left over from the previous row, in which case we must remember not to remove all the male side of the last table, but only the piece that we use in the first row, so that we serve the remainder for the second line of tables in which I need the male-female union here. The second option is the simplest, is simply to start with an entire table rows or table with a half turn. Every time we put a table we can tap from the front and side so that the click system fits perfect. We recommend using a rubber mallet and plastic wad usually included in the kit assembly to avoid damaging the edges of the blade. Continue the same operation to cover the entire surface of the room.

6. Remove cuñas.Una After placement of all tables must withdraw all wedges that kept the expansion joint and cut the ground protruding from the sides.

7. Placing the baseboard. To place the baseboard it is best to use steel nails as thin as possible but long enough to reach deep into the wall and firmly hold the baseboard. You must put a nail every 30 or 40 cm. always pressing hard against the baseboard and the wall floor to make it in the right place. To finish nails should be covered with colored silicone and optionally also seal the joints between the baseboard and the stage and / or between the baseboard and the wall.

8. Transition joints. The transition joints should be placed between two different floor or by example, when we went to the bathroom or the kitchen and had a laminated flooring or ceramic tiles to level and beautify the union. These are usually metal or the color of the stage. To put the guide should be screwed to the floor right between the floor and snap on the board or transition profile in the directory. It is advisable to follow the instructions of each manufacturer.

In short, these are the steps to follow:

Check the existing soil. The product chosen must be suitable for use and area to which it is intended. Clean the installation and leveling. Lowering the gates and fences. Extend bajosuelo. Place the planks or boards, leaving the corresponding expansion. Remove the wedges and trim the excess bajosuelo. Place the baseboard and transition joints
