Parquet: proper installation of flooring
Parquet boards can be glued and hammered. Before starting work on laying parquet, it is necessary to plaster the walls, tile and perform other interior finishing work that may increase the amount of moisture in the room. If several types of floor coverings are combined, it is best to prepare the surface for all coverings at once.
Humidity
The optimal humidity of the parquet is 8 ± 2%. When laying parquet with a humidity of more than 10%, it will begin to shrink, which can lead to cracks. If the humidity of the parquet is less than 6%, it expands, which can cause irregularities. When laying parquet, the relative humidity of the room should not exceed 60%, and the internal temperature is + 15 ° C. Under no circumstances should parquet be laid on a wet floor.
Surface mounting
Parquet boards can be attached to the base in the entire plane by gluing or nailing (the method of fastening depends on the selected floor and base). According to flooring specialists, the biggest advantage of such fastening is that the laid floor does not sway or creak, and the disadvantages are higher requirements for the substrate and the high cost of glue.
Choosing an adhesive
If the parquet is glued to the base along the entire plane, it is necessary to choose adhesives that do not contain water. Parquet boards can also be laid using the so-called "padlock" method. The peculiarity of this method is that parquet boards are laid without being attached to the base - no glue is used. The parquet laid in this way can be used several times, it can be easily dismantled and reinstalled elsewhere.
Underfloor heating
If you are going to install underfloor heating under the parquet, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the adhesive and the heating system. In order for the underfloor heating to perform its function effectively and be economical in operation, the thermal resistance of the floor should not exceed 0.15 mK / W, the heating temperature of the parquet surface should not exceed 25 C, and the maximum allowable heating power is 60 W/m2. It is important to ensure that the heat is evenly distributed under the floor. It is not recommended to lay parquet boards made of beech or maple wood. It is also not recommended to lay massive parquet, and two-layer parquet and so-called "floating" floors are most suitable for underfloor heating.
Caring for parquet is not difficult, the most popular means for cleaning it are a vacuum cleaner and a damp cloth. To make the parquet last longer, it should be protected from gravel and sand. There are many household chemicals that cover parquet with a protective film, help protect it from dirt, friction, scratches, highlight the color of the floor and restore a uniform shine.
