Before laying the laminated floor, it is necessary to thoroughly align and prepare the surface of the base. It can be either self-leveling mixtures or cement-sand mortar. Before laying laminate, it is necessary to lay the so -called noise -absorbing substrate.
In addition to the function of noise absorption, the laminate substrate performs the functions of aligning small flaws of the floor surface. Such a substrate for everything else still acts as a depreciation. Today there are several options for a substrate. It can be made of foamed polyethylene, traffic jams or several more less common materials.
If the laminate laying is carried out on the floor with heating, the following requirements must be fulfilled: the width of the gap between the heating pipes and the draft floor should be at least 30 mm; Before laying the laminate, the heating system should work for 3 weeks; Before starting work, turn off the heating and ventilate the room.
When laying the laminate using the “floating” method, the panels do not stick together with the main floor, and only the end sides of the panels are connected. To combine grooves and spikes use PVA -based glue or bloodless method. To reduce the visibility of butt joints, it is recommended to lay the laminate in the direction of daylight. Near the wall during laying laminate, you need to leave small gaps. Today, the Besecle method of laying the laminated coating is gaining more and more popularity, displacing the adhesive method. There are designs that allow the junction of the panels at a certain angle to each other. Such a need may arise when it is impossible to bend the panel. Laminate fits quite quickly. It mainly depends on the quality of the preparation of the black floor.
