Solid wood flooring is a floor decoration material formed by drying and processing natural wood. Its soft and natural color and its warm winter and cool summer make it the darling of the decoration industry. Many families will choose the solid wood floor to decorate. However, with a seven-point installation on the three-point floor, no matter how good the floor material is, it must be carefully installed. If the floor is not properly laid, the utility will be halved. 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 flooring laying method . In the home decoration, four common solid wood floor laying methods : 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 based on local conditions, depending on the situation select.
Four common solid wood floor laying methods
Solid wood floor laying method: 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;
Laying method
1. The direction of the paving floor is usually consistent with the direction of the room's walking or according to the user's requirements, paving one by one from left to right or from right to left. The groove is placed on the wall, and the wooden wedge is placed between the floor and the wall. Full expansion joints, dry areas, the floor is wet, expansion joints should be small; wet areas due to dry floors, expansion joints should be left 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, sizing by measuring its width, with pull hooks or screw tops to make it tight.
3. In some areas that are particularly humid in East China, South China, and Central South, when installing flooring, the floor and 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.
The solid wood skirting board should be ventilated on the back of the wall and be treated for preservation. The depth of ventilation slots should not be less than 5mm, and the width should not be less than 30mm, or meet the design requirements. Skirting boards should be nailed firmly to the wood block. The nail caps should be flattened into the surface of the board. There should be no visible nail holes. The skirting board should be vertical and the upper door should be horizontal.
Solid wood floor laying method II: 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.
Laying method
Lay the 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) Fixed wooden keel
1) Wooden keel fixation: According to the actual situation on the ground, the position and spacing of hammer drills are determined
2) 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 you use the shot through the wooden keel into the concrete, the depth must be greater than 15mm, 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.
3) Note: Between the keel, the keel and the wall or other floor material should be spaced 5-10mm, keel end should be nailed.
4) Wood keel leveling: After the laying of the wooden keel to carry out a complete flatness of the cable and firmness inspection, inspection can be laid only after passing.
5) If there are water pipes or ground picks under the ground, do not scratch it. Generally, suspending laying method can be used. In case of keel laying, new keels such as plastic steel and aluminum alloy keel can be used, or adhesive joints can be used. Short wood 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 to the wooden keel by threaded nails and nails. Upper and later, each block was tightened.
(2) Every part of the floor that touches the wooden keel must use air gun nails, screw nails or common nails to nail people at an angle of 45 degrees to 60 degrees. The length of the nails 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, 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.
Solid wood floor laying method three: 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.
Solid wood flooring laying method four: 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.
Solid wood floor laying construction note six steps
In the construction of floor decoration, there are many problems in the laying of solid wood flooring. Therefore, in the construction, you must supervise the workers to follow the “six steps†of construction of solid wood flooring:
1. Before construction, prepare materials such as grille (wood keel), wooden floorboards, skirting board, waterproof paper and construction tools. Pay attention to the decorative materials must be selected after drying, anti-corrosion, pest control type and model, the smaller the color difference of the material the better. Before laying wooden floors, all indoor “wet operations†are required to be completed. The embedded parts shall be laid in place according to the design requirements. The degree of plaster drying shall be more than 80%. After the doors, windows and glass are installed, the horizontal elevation lines will be bombed.
2. When laying the grille (wood keel), it should be closely combined with the ground embedded parts.
3, laying a grid file grid, should pay attention to the degree of density and whether the main grid is connected tightly and firmly.
4. Make a good ventilation slot, pay attention to the consistency of the order, orientation and direction.
5. Paving partitions (large core panels). Note that the partitions and wooden keels should be tightly and firmly bonded.
6. When paving the wooden floor, pay attention to the pavement in sequence. Floor blocks with patterns and patterns should be marked in advance. In the vertical angle between the edge of the wooden floor and the wall, about 10 mm expansion tank should be reserved to prevent the wooden floor from warping due to heat and moisture.
Solid wood flooring installation 4 small details
1. The size of the keel wood shall not be too thick, otherwise it will affect the space utilization.
2, can not use cement nails, but should use electric hammer drill with wooden wedges, screws into the ground 2.5cm.
3. The keelwood will not move right and left after it is installed, and it will not need to be fixed with cement mortar around it. This will prevent the arching or tile deformation of the floor due to insufficient maintenance time.
4. For home installation, 300px-450px plywood should be used, and it should be divided into 4-6 blocks, and the real keel should be tightened.
Editor's summary: The above are the four common solid wood floor laying methods, solid wood floor laying construction pay attention to the six steps of the four details related to the introduction, therefore, in the process of laying solid wood flooring must pay attention to the above six steps of the four details, if Some questions are in doubt. It is advisable to consult professionals or floor merchants. It is important to lay this barrier in order to avoid problems in the future use. It will be quite troublesome to solve them later.
