Four Common Solid Wood Flooring Methods Solid Wood Flooring Considerations

Solid wood flooring is a floor decoration material formed by drying and processing natural wood. Also known as the original wooden floor, it is a floor that is processed directly from solid wood. It has the natural growth of wood texture, is a poor conductor of heat, can play the role of warm in winter and cool, comfortable foot feeling, the use of safe features, is the bedroom, living room, study and other ground decoration materials. The improvement of the quality of life can not be separated from the installation of solid wood flooring. It is because of the use of solid wood flooring to decorate the ground and the rooms are more beautiful. No matter how good the solid wood floor is, if it is not laid, the function will be reduced by half. The quality of solid wood flooring laying directly affects the appearance, comfort and service life of solid wood flooring. Therefore, we must pay attention to the scientific solid wood floor pavement method . There are four solid wood floor pavement methods commonly used in home decoration: suspension laying method, keel laying method, plywood keel laying method and direct paste laying method, each laying method has its own advantages and disadvantages, users, construction units should be due, Due to the need of function and choice.

One, four common solid wood floor pavement methods

Solid wood floor pavement method

1, suspension laying method

Features

No pollution; easy to maintain. The floor is not easy to arch, it is not easy to produce sheet deformation, the floor is separated from the seam, or the parts are carefully damaged, easy to repair and replace, even if the moving or accidental soaking in water, after removal, after drying, the floor can still be laid.

Scope of application

Suspension paving method is applicable to the floor of the enterprise, the floor of the double-grate floor, and all kinds of connecting pieces. Should generally choose the tight groove, bottom seam smaller floor. The advantages of this laying method are outstanding: the laying is simple and the duration is greatly shortened;

Paving method

(1) The direction of the paving floor is generally consistent with the direction of the room's walking or according to the user's requirements, paving from left to right or right to left one by one, with the groove in the wall, the wooden wedge between the floor and the wall, Leave expansion joints in the dry area, the floor is damp, and the expansion joints should be small; in damp areas, the floor should be dry and the expansion joints should be large. Pull the line to check the straightness of the shop floor, install the shop along with the inspection, in the trial shop should observe the board surface height difference and gap, at any time to adjust, check qualified before sizing installation. Generally spread on the edge of 2-3 rows of small amount of D4 or water-free green plastic can be fixed. The rest of the middle part is completely meshed with the tongue and groove without gluing.

(2) The last row of floors is to be cut, glued by measuring its width, with a pull hook or a screw top to make it tight.

(3) In some areas that are particularly humid in East China, South China, and Central South China, when installing flooring, the floor and the floor are generally not too tight (usually a business card thickness can be stored between floors). In the northeast, northwest, and north China, it is generally better to lay between floors.

(4) Close the bridge installation

In the interface between the room, hall, hall, the floor must be cut off, leaving expansion joints, with the closing bar, metal bridge, the door and the ground should be enough 3-5mm spacing, so that the door can open and close freely.

(5) Skirting board installation

The thickness of the optional skirting board should be greater than 15mm. When installing the floor expansion joint gap within 5-12mm, it should be filled with solid polystyrene board or elastomer to prevent the floor from loosening. Install the skirting board and be sure to cover the expansion joint. If the wall or foundation is uneven, cracks appear to be expected. Please decorate the wall.

2, keel laying method

The keel laying method is the most traditional and most widely used flooring method. Let's take a look at the details of the keel laying method.

Features

The rectangular long wooden strip is used as a material to fix and bear the force on the surface layer of the supporting floor and lay it at a certain distance. All the floorboards, as long as there is sufficient bending strength, can be used to lay the keel laying method, there are many keel materials, the most widely used wood keel, and other plastic keel, aluminum alloy keel and so on.

Scope of application

The keel paving method is suitable for solid wood flooring and engineered wood flooring. The bending strength of the flooring is sufficient, and the keel paving method can be used.

Paving method

(1) laying keel

1) Floor marking: According to the floor laying direction and length, the keel laying position is popped up. Each floor is placed on at least 3 keels, generally not more than 350mm apart.

2) Wooden keel fixation

Tochigi keel fixation: According to the actual situation on the ground, the position and spacing of hammer drills are determined

✦ If there is a leveling layer on the ground, use electric hammer drill method, the general hammer into the depth of about 25mm or more, if the use of shot through the wooden keel into the concrete, the depth must be greater than 15mm, when the local height difference is too large. Should be leveled with a screed, first use the nails to fix the slats to the concrete base, and then use wood to fix the wooden keel on the screed.

✦Note: Between the keel, between the keel and the wall or other floor materials should be spaced 5-10mm, the keel end should be nailed.

Beech keel leveling: After the laying of the wooden keel to carry out a complete flatness of the pull line and firmness check, after passing the test can be laid.

✦ If there are water pipes or ground picks under the ground, do not scratch it. Generally, suspend laying method is used. In case of keel laying, new keels such as plastic steel and aluminum alloy keel can be used, or short adhesives can be used. Wooden keel.

(2) Flooring

1) The floor covering is generally laid out in a wrong position. After leaving a gap of 8-10 mm from the side of the wall, the first row of wooden floor is laid and the outside of the floor is convex. The floor is fixed on the wooden keel by threaded nails and nails. , and later tightened block by block.

2) Every part of the floor that touches the wooden keel must be nailed with an air gun, a threaded stud, or an ordinary nail, and be nailed at an angle of 45 degrees to 60 degrees. The length of the nail must not be shorter than 25 mm.

3) In order to make the floor even and straight, each floor should be 3-5 blocks, that is, pull a flat straight line to check whether the floor is straight, in order to adjust in time. The attachment of the couplings and skirting boards is the same as the suspension method.

3, direct paste laying method

It is another method of floor laying. It is suitable for floors of 350mm in length and it requires ground level. Let's find out more specifically below.

Features

Direct sticking laying method is to directly bond the floor to the ground. This installation method is quick and the construction requires the floor to be very dry, clean and flat. Due to the limited flatness of the ground, over-long floor coverings may cause warping. Therefore, it is more practical for the laying of solid wood and cork flooring with a length of less than 30 cm. Some small pieces of teak and parquet flooring must be laid directly.

Scope of application

The direct-gluing method is suitable for parquet flooring and cork flooring. In addition, the composite wood flooring can also be paved directly.

Advantages and disadvantages

The installation method is quick and beautiful, but it requires high construction ground and is prone to warping.

Laying method

If the cement floor is laid directly, it must be leveled with cement. Compared to the leveling of paving slabs, it will not affect the height of the house too much. However, if cement is used for leveling, a lot of cement and sand will be used and the cost will be higher. If cork flooring is used, it is recommended to make self-leveling cement mortar on the original foundation.

4, splint keel laying method

In addition to the three floor-laying methods described above, there is also a plywood keel laying method suitable for all kinds of floors. Let's take a closer look at this method of laying.

Features

The plywood keel laying method is to lay the keel first, then lay the wool floor on the top, fix the wool floor and the keel, and then lay the floor on the wool floor. This not only enhances the moisture resistance, but also makes the foot feel more comfortable and soft.

Scope of application

The splint keel laying method is applicable to the flooring floor keel laying method. It is suitable for a variety of floors such as solid wood flooring, engineered wood flooring, laminate flooring and cork flooring. A layer of wool flooring is laid on the keel, and then suspended by paving. Paving the floor.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages are good moisture resistance and comfortable feet. However, the loss of more layers is higher than other methods.

Laying method

The wool floor is laid on the keel, and there should be gaps between each row. The nails or screw nails are used to fix and level the wool floor and the keel. The wool floor can be laid at an oblique angle of 30 degrees or 45 degrees to reduce the stress. Laminated flooring is laid on the wool floor and laid according to the suspended laying method.

Second, wood floor pavement considerations

Solid wood floor installation

1. Is the ground level?

Although there are many methods for installing solid wood flooring, no matter which method is used, whether the ground is flat or not should be noticed. Because the solid wood floor is composed of wood material, if the floor is not even, after laying the floor, it will make a squeaking noise on the top, and it will wear out the floor material. Before laying wooden floors, it is particularly important to level the ground.

2, accessories keel dry or not

The installation of solid wood flooring can not be separated from the use of keel, do not think that buying quality solid wood flooring will bring convenience to the future life, if the accessories keel to buy is not through the dry wood material, they will increase the solid wood The intrinsic moisture in the floor causes the surface of the floor to protrude and the paint layer to crack. The water content of the undried keel is 25%, while the qualified keel contains only 12% water. It can be seen that the importance of keel drying, since it has spent a lot of money to buy solid wood flooring, is not the slightest point of the keel money, we must choose the keel after drying quality standards. Generally their specifications are 3*2 or 4*2.5. According to your choice of solid wood floor size specifications to buy keel.

3, the best moderate tightness

The hardwood floors that are usually bought are packed in containers. In general, dampness does not occur. However, if consumers are not confident, they can put the solid wood flooring in the room for two days and then lay. When installing solid wood flooring, it is necessary to take care not to splicing solid wood flooring. The solid wood flooring will be deformed by extrusion. Because there are water molecules in the air, the humidity in the air is too large, and it will expand after being absorbed by the floor. Too dense, there is no gap between the floor and the floor. After the expansion, the floor will be arched. And too loose, the floor has a sense of shaking. Dirty things will enter between the gaps, not using cleaning and maintenance.

Editor's summary: The above are the four common solid wood floor pavement methods, solid wood floor pavement notes related to the introduction, only the correct installation of solid wood flooring, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.
