Wood is still the most popular flooring material. Currently on the floor - in addition to boards, parquet and mosaic - are increasingly pavement is laid wooden floor panels or industrial.
mostly wooden flooring is laid in the living rooms and bedrooms. It may also be arranged in the hall, and a specially-finished flooring, moisture resistant, even in the kitchen. Wooden floors in addition to high strength are well suited to any decor, comfort, and easy to keep clean.
floor, which is the power of tradition
Parquet get along with strips called slats. They have a length of 25 to 50 cm, width 4-8 cm and a thickness of about 2 cm. Depending on their type can be arranged: a traditional parquet (flooring from one species of wood, combined with tongue and groove, arranged in different patterns such as herringbone, brick, or squares), decorative parquet (flooring from different species of wood of different colors and shapes ) or lamella parquet (wood flooring planks such have smooth edges, and arranged them into contact and, just like a normal floor, glued to the ground). Parquet can be installed on the mineral substrate (concrete, foundation, cement, gypsum), or on the boards or wood-based panels.
Mosaic, which is a simplified
floor is made of small slats (called sticks) adhered to the paper or mesh. Slats come in different sizes (120-160 mm in length, 22 mm and 8 mm thick). The whole CD is typically 640 mm in length and 320 mm in width. Mosaics can also be varied in color and arranged in various patterns. An interesting effect is a combination of a mosaic of several species of wood. The mosaic is laid mostly on concrete or cementitious plasters. Is secured with an adhesive for parquet. The individual elements are stuck to the ground, stacking them with paper or mesh top. After drying, this material breaks away, and the remains removed from the floor wet.
boards, or the simplicity and elegance
are produced mainly from solid wood, but they are also selling boards with wood laminate. The length of the boards is usually from 3 to 10 m, width from 9 to 18 cm and a thickness of from 14 to 30 mm. Their edges can be smooth or prepared to join with tongue and groove. Grooves and projections facilitate the connection and ensure the integrity of the floor. A novelty board with grooved bottoms. Those made from longitudinal incision improves the bottom floor ventilation arranged on a flat surface. Thanks to them, boards are less susceptible to deformation.
Battens are fixed mainly nails (it sticks up in the groove, the groove on the side) to the wooden joists spaced at 30-60 cm. They must be perfectly level. At the joists should also find a damp proof layer. Boards may also be placed directly on the concrete floor or on cement and gypsum plasters (you can then stick the adhesive). For small spaces manages to choose the boards of such length that they can be arranged without sztukowania. Will then extend from wall to wall. Sztukowanie When it becomes necessary, you need to buy a board of not more than the length or width of the third room. Must also be remembered that their connections in the rows do not form a single line. Ideally, when the boards in a row together in the middle of the length of the adjacent boards in a row. This method of linking is called "the turnout."
panels, three in one
Sandwich panels are made up mostly of three layers of wood glued together. Surface is a thin (2-4 mm) layer of fine wood. Middle layer are arranged perpendicular to the ridges run in a wood grain surface layer. It has a thickness of about 8 mm. The bottom layer, 1.5-3.5 mm thick, is made of wood of inferior quality (mostly with spruce veneer). Panel sizes vary. Their length can range from 40 to 250 cm and width from 13 to 21 cm. The thickness depends on the number and type of each layer. Panels are easy to install and usually do not require scraping and painting. Most of the wooden panels is pre-polished and coated with several coats of varnish. Sanded and painted panels can only be that the top layer is more than 4 mm thick. Panels does not stick, not nailed or screwed to the floor. It connects only to the edges, mostly using the glue. However, such panels are, and which is mounted bezklejowo - the latch. Both methods are good and give a stable and tight connection. Easier and faster method, however, is non-adhesive. In addition, the damaged panel with latch can be relatively easily replaced. Floor panels of this type can also be dismantled and moved elsewhere, such as moving house.
Bruk, a cube on the floor
The floor of this type get along with hardwood cubes (the elements of logs cut perpendicular to their length, making visible the transverse grain of wood). Best for this purpose are oak, beech and ash. Dice are usually 2,5-8 cm thick and sides of 4 cm. Are connected, like a mosaic, the plate (after 5-18 pieces) and stuck on the grid thermoplastic. It is fixed to the substrate with an adhesive for parquet, and after laying a grid to break. Wood grain are arranged perpendicular to the ground.
industrial floor, which goes
new floor is something between a mosaic pavement. It is performed with narrow slats width of 8-10 mm and a thickness of about 22 mm. So they are better than larger ones. Are connected at the plate with adhesive tape, which springs up after installation. Industrial parquet is fixed to the wall with adhesive.
Type Defects Advantages
Parquet flooring proper position requires professional knowledge and accuracy; easily here about bugs large selection of wood species and sizes of strips, available virtually anywhere, affordable price, a thick layer of homogeneous timber allows multiple scraping
Mosaic thin, it can not scrape too often quick and simple alignment
incompetent boards attached to the joists may creak under the feet, are often formed between the cracks arranged in a suitable direction can visually lengthen or widen the room
panels can not be renewed, and if it is, not as many times as the other floors do not have to be painted and sanded, because they are pre-finished, easy to style
Bruk niepolakierowany is very absorbent, while this feature makes it to finish the floors need to use more paint large thickness of the pavement provides the long-term durability, upright positioning provides high resistance to mechanical damage
industrial floor on large surfaces can be cast in the eyes of combining individual discs large thickness provides long-term durability, this floor is a cheap and fast in laying
