Every day the number of types of flooring is becoming more and more. But one thing remains unchanged: parquet board is still popular. And involuntarily there is an opinion that this popularity will never disappear. Today, many people want their houses to have parquet on the floor . DIY installation of this type of coating is not very difficult. If you do not want to spend money on specialists, then it is worth understanding the main points.
Parquet can spread on the logs that are used in old-style houses, and on a concrete base. Laying the floorboard with your own hands on concrete should be accompanied by a thorough leveling of the base with a screed. There are two ways, choosing one of which, you can lay the flooring: floating and adhesive. In the second case, the boards are attached to the base with an adhesive solution. At the moment, professionals mainly resort to the floating method, with the help of which the parquet board is easily and quickly laid. Do-it-yourself laying in this case is done on special substrates of small thickness. The panels themselves are connected to each other through a lock.
Most likely, many times compared the parquet with the laminate, since both of them are a structure with a large number of layers. But if you want environmentally friendly floors made of real wood in your house, then you need a parquet board. Do-it-yourself laying of this coating is no different from laminate laying technology.
The technology of parquet production is such that all panels are adjusted strictly to the size of the room. With the help of special spikes and grooves, the connection is made easily and simply, without any sagging. Today on the market you can buy a variety of
types of flooring: this is a parquet board (massif), and piece parquet, and boards, and many others. Each of them has both advantages and disadvantages. Some varieties of flooring require additional scrapping, grinding and varnishing. If you do not want to deal with all this, then you should choose the parquet flooring that goes on sale already ready. In addition, the parquet has a large number of different patterns: herringbone, deck, wicker. At the moment, single-lane panels have gained particular popularity. Another advantage that a parquet board has: do-it-yourself laying of this material can be done on warm floors. In this case, you should know about some of the nuances. For example, the temperature of the floor anywhere in the room should not exceed +27 degrees. In addition, you will need to lay an additional layer of waterproofing material.
Parquet board has gained such widespread popularity also because it is very easy to care for. Simply wipe it with a dry cloth and use a vacuum cleaner from time to time. If you are going to do a wet cleaning, then the rag should be squeezed well. When using a detergent, it should be borne in mind that ammonia should not be in its composition.
