What to pay attention to before installing wooden flooring

Wooden floors. Beautiful, durable, comfortable, and cheap, simple construction, so daily home.

Fitment. The laying of the floor is not just about floor tiles.

1. Floor height

Before the installation of wooden flooring, pay attention to whether the indoor net height of your home is allowed, the installation of wooden floors will account for a part of the indoor net height, if the indoor height is not enough, it is recommended not to choose wooden floors.

Second, grassroots treatment

Before laying the wooden floor, it is necessary to do a good job of dirt treatment on the surface of the base layer, and the dust and sand particles must be removed and cleaned, otherwise it will affect the paste of the wooden floor.

Third, the pattern test shop

Before the installation of the wooden floor, the pattern should be tested, which is to ensure that the paving pattern is square and will not be paved crookedly.

Fourth, the ground.

To be leveled

The floor of the wooden floor must be level, so that part of the floor or keel is not made.

Overhead, there is a sound when stepping on it.

Fifth, the keel needs to be dry

The moisture content of the wooden floor is generally 12%, and the moisture content of the undried wooden keel is usually about 25%, if the keel is not pre-dried, then the humidity difference is too large to make the wooden floor absorb moisture quickly, resulting in the arching of the floor, the paint surface bursting.

Sixth, the way of fixing

It is not suitable to use the fixing method of beating the wooden wedge and adding iron nails to lay the wooden floor, which will cause the nail holding force to be insufficient because the contact surface between the wooden wedge and the iron nail is too small, and it is easy to cause the wooden keel to loosen, and there will be a sound when stepping on the floor.

7. Floor gaps

Laying wooden floors must leave suitable gaps, and it is best to reasonably arrange the assembly gaps of wooden floors according to the ambient temperature and humidity of the place of use. If it is too loose, the floor will shrink when it is cold or dry, and if it is too tight, the floor will arch when it is overheated and damp and expanded.

8. Inspection and acceptance

Wood flooring is divided into solid wood, multi-layer solid wood, composite wood, etc., solid wood flooring.

The installation will frame the keel, and the others are ground level leveling can be installed on the wooden floor, and the wooden floor can be accepted after installation to see if there is a gap in the corner of the wall, and whether it will be concave when stepped on. The inspection and acceptance of the wooden floor is relatively simple, you can go to the test, but in the process of decoration, there are many construction and installation projects to check and accept, if your own decoration quality inspection knowledge is not good, it is easy to be perfunctory by the workers, but we can apply for Tuba Rabbit decoration insurance, there are professional quality inspectors to help us, and at the same time can quickly decorate the rights of rights!

How to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of solid wood flooring

Floor maintenance

1. Keep the floor dry, flat and clean when installing the floor. The key is to be particularly dry. If the keel is not installed, direct laying should also confirm that the ground is absolutely flat. In addition, on the day of flooring, other workers in the family should temporarily leave the site.

Second, the floor is delivered, and the package must be opened and checked to confirm that the floor sent is the model ordered by yourself. It is best to open the floor and check whether there is any quality problem. Carefully compare whether the color difference is large, although the floor will inevitably have some color difference, but if the color difference is too large and feels unacceptable, you can refuse it, and contact the seller in time to solve it as soon as possible.

Don't wait for the floor to be laid before you notice the color difference, which will cause losses. Moreover, the general floor seller will let the owner sign the receipt after the floor is delivered, and once signed, it means that the quality of the floor is recognized.

3. Because the home has been basically completed when laying the floor, workers should be reminded to pay attention when they arrive at the site to avoid bumping into the finished product. Before hitting the bottom of the baseboard, the installation eye of the door strip, and the lower end of the saw door cover, the worker should clearly tell the workers where the hole can not be drilled and sawed, so as not to damage the original water pipe and line pipe. This is very important, and I know a lot of homeowners who have had their pipes pierced with nail baseboards.

Fourth, before construction, it is necessary to re-verify with the workers the predetermined laying direction and method. In addition, it is necessary to open a few more bags of flooring, and check the color and texture changes of the floor with the workers to determine the random laying, or the depth and color of the floor. You can lay some floors that are not very beautiful under large pieces of furniture such as cloakrooms and beds.

When I lay the flooring in my house, I also selected some floors with horizontal textures and spread them in the aisle, which looked very chic and characteristic after paving.

5. The distance between the lower mouth of the door and the floor (including the thickness of the door strip) should be kept at more than 4 mm after laying, so as to prevent the door from sinking in the future and affecting the opening and closing.

6. The expansion joint between the floor and the wall should be guaranteed to be 8-10 mm, otherwise the floor will lose its free expansion and contraction, and it is easy to arch. Generally, the thickness of the floor is more than 8 mm, and a wooden strip with a thickness of 8-10 mm can also be cut as a wooden wedge pressed into the expansion joint next to the wall as a measurement standard. When installing the baseboards.

Be sure to remove the wooden wedge placed in the expansion joint, otherwise the expansion joint will be left in vain. The installed baseboard should completely cover the expansion joint. For a secure installation of the baseboard, it is better to nail it with a nail.

After installation, ask the oiler to repair the nail holes and seams. The yin and yang angles of the baseboard should be 45 degrees diagonal, which will be much more beautiful.

Wood floor is a popular ground decoration, because wood floor is not only a very good decoration effect, but also the foot feeling will be quite good, this is also the main reason why everyone likes wood flooring, next, we, take friends to understand,Wooden flooring installationWhat are the precautions? And what are the tips for choosing wood flooring?

1. What are the precautions for the installation of wood flooring?

1. Precautions for Wood Floor Installation When installing the floor, ensure that the floor is dry, flat and clean. The key should be particularly dry. If the keel is not installed, the direct installation must ensure that the ground is absolutely flat. At the lowest level, the other workers in the house had to be temporarily evacuated.

2. Precautions for wood floor installation When the floor is delivered, open the package, and you need to check whether the floor you send is the model you ordered. It is best to open the package and make sure there are no quality problems. Carefully comparing color differences is not a big problem, but there may be color differences on the floor, but if the color differences are too large, decline and contact the seller immediately to resolve them as soon as possible.

Do not wait for the floor to finish, but if you notice color differences, this will lead to losses.

3. Precautions for installation of wooden floors When the floor is laid on the floor, the floor is basically completed, so the operator should be careful to avoid collision with the finished product. Before the lower part of the baseboard, the mounting flange and the top cover of the door bead paulownia, the operator must clearly indicate to the operator which parts cannot be opened and closed so as not to damage the original water pipes and line pipes. This is very important.

Many of the masters I know have encountered nail drills through water pipes.

4. Precautions for wood floor installation Before starting construction, workers should re-check the specified direction and arrangement. You should also open a few more floors with your crew and observe the color texture changes on the floor. Before laying, it is placed randomly or divided into depth and color.

Not very beautiful floors can be placed under large furniture such as cabinets and beds. When laying on the floor, we chose a floor with a horizontal texture to wrap it in the aisle. Very stylish and unique after packaging.

Second, what are the selection skills of wood flooring?

1. Look at the texture of the wooden floor, the texture of the high-quality wooden floor is clean and the appearance is beautiful, and the texture of the inferior wooden floor is messy and pleasing to the eye. When buying wood flooring, let's first take a look at the quality of wood flooring.

2. Look at the cracks on the parquet floor, some of the wood floors in the mid-range have subtle cracks, but they are not normal. Normal cracks are between the textures of the wooden floor, and these cracks do not extend and can be purchased for use. However, if the crack is long and exceeds the texture of the parquet floor, it is likely to cause hidden problems for a long time.

3. Look at the sealing on the wooden floor, when laying the wooden floor, it should be very dense and the gap is very large, indicating the quality of the wooden floor. When we choose parquet flooring, we want to combine it with a lot of parquet flooring to see how well it seals.

4. Check the paint quality and paint process on the wooden floor. The choice of wood flooring should be optimistic about the quality of the painted surface. The key is to look at the finish of the paint surface and check for air bubbles or leaks. The painted surface should be uniform and free of bubbles, cracks, or paint leakage.

Prevent uneven ground.

Uneven ground causes part of the floor and keel to hang in the air, making a noise when stepping on it.

Prevent the keel from not drying.

The moisture content of the undried wooden keel is usually about 25%, while the moisture content of the qualified wooden floor is generally 12%, and the humidity difference is too large to make the wooden floor absorb moisture quickly, resulting in the arching of the floor and the bursting of the paint surface. During construction, the floor is laid first, and then other construction is carried out on the floor. However, after the floor is laid, it often takes a month or more to polish and paint.

During this period, the floor is not isolated from the water vapor and chemicals in the surrounding environment, which is likely to cause the wooden floor to be deformed due to the rapid change in moisture content.

Prevent over-loose or over-tight assembly.

When laying the floor, the assembly tightness of the wooden floor should be reasonably arranged according to the ambient temperature and humidity of the place where it is used. If it is too loose, the floor will shrink and there will be large gaps, and if it is too tight, the floor will arch when it expands.

Prevent the fixing method of using a wooden wedge and iron nails.

In the construction, the fixing method of beating the wooden wedge and adding the iron nail will cause the nail holding force to be insufficient because the contact surface between the wooden wedge and the iron nail is too small, and it is easy to cause the wooden keel to loosen, and there will be a sound when stepping on the floor.

1. The size of the keel can not be too thick, otherwise it will affect the use of space, and the general thickness is 4.

2. Cement nails should not be used, but should be hammered with electricity and then driven into the ground with wooden wedges and screws.

3. The keel wooden fang will not move left and right after installation, therefore, there is no need to fix it with cement mortar around it, so that the floor will not be arched or tiled deformed due to insufficient maintenance time.

4. For home installation, foam pads and 9mm plywood can be used, if you want to use it, you should use 12cm 18cm plywood, and cut it into 4 6 pieces, and nail it around the well-punching keel and board surface.

5. Due to the different specifications and quality of solid wood flooring on the market, the most obvious feature is the different length, so it is recommended to try to buy the length of the solid wood floor not more than 60cm and the width not to exceed it. Although the long one is easy to assemble, the long one is easy to skew, warp, and easy to deform, while the short solid wood floor is not easy to warp, and it is easy to grasp the gap between the boards and the fighting.

6. The qualified standards for the installation of solid wood flooring are: firm paving, no hollowing, cracking, skewed, warping, glue overflow, stains and other phenomena; The seams between the boards should be straight, the joints should be tight, the width of the joints should be about 1mm, the baseboard should be tightly connected with the floor, and the wall should be close and without gaps.

7. It should also be noted that the number of solid wood floors purchased should be slightly increased compared with the actual laying area, and the general 20 square meters of room should be increased by 1 square meter for consumption and backup. In addition, whoever buys the floor will be asked to lay it, so that it can be guaranteed for one year, and it is easier to solve in case of quality problems.

1. When inspecting the ground, you must be careful, pay attention to the floor must be smooth, within the range of the specified value, and ensure that the ground is clean.

2. It should be noted that the solid wood floor can not be installed on some ground that is directly exposed to the sun and rain, otherwise it is easy to get damp and is very easy to rot, such as some toilets, bathrooms and balconies and other places, and the floor can not be laid on the electric heating ground, but it can be laid on the plumbing ground.

3. For each step of the installation of solid wood flooring, the installation requirements must be carefully and carefully installed, and after the new cement floor is paved, the ground must be dried for more than 90 days to ensure that the ground is dry.

Thirteen points wooden floor installation precautions:

1. Preliminary preparation:

a) Please send someone to check the laying conditions on the site, if it does not meet the laying needs, please refer to the professional opinion of the technical personnel, and arrange to find the equivalent disposal as soon as possible.

b) the measured area of laying, determine the direction of laying and the quantity and type of auxiliary materials;

c) Determine the method of laying: normal equipment, seam equipment, heterosexual (tatami mats, curve equipment, etc.), etc. If the equipment is extraordinarily apparatus, a certain amount of extraneous equipment fees shall be charged.

2. Before the equipment, the accurate equipment time should be agreed with the first party 7 days in advance. Before the equipment, it is necessary to ensure that the ground is monotonous, flat, cleaned, and not crossed.

3. The normal wear and tear of the floor is 3 --5, if there is a special-shaped plan or staircase on the ground, the loss will increase and return to normal.

4. Before construction, the customer should verify the laying direction and method with the construction personnel again. If the customer changes the equipment without permission, the customer will assume all the roles and responsibilities.

5. Before carrying out the construction of the baseboard, the equipment eye of the door strip, the lower end of the saw door cover, etc., the customer should clearly inform the construction personnel which places can not be drilled and sawed to avoid damage to the original water pipe and line pipe. During the construction process, the construction personnel will automatically ask the customer about relevant matters.

6. Before the formal construction, it is necessary to shovel some obvious protrusions on the ground and sweep the ground. If the flatness error on the ground exceeds the standard, it is best not to lay it. If the customer vigorously needs to lay, the demand is signed by the customer to explain that the floor is soft or loud after paving, and unnecessary hostility occurs.

7. The interval between the lower mouth of the door and the floor (including the thickness of the door strip) should be kept at least 4 mm after laying. In case the door sinks, affecting the opening and closing.

8. The interface of the plastic sheet used for laying the moisture-proof layer on the ground and the geothermal floor must be lapped and bonded with tape.

9. The length or width of the floor laying, assuming that it spans 8 meters, the interface between the room and the hall or the doorway is necessary for the equipment pressing strip. Assuming the double eyelid device method, the length of the installation is less than 12 meters, and the strip can be laid without pressurization. If the customer proposes not to pressurize the strip, the request is signed to avoid hostility that is not contrasted.

10. Before the geothermal suspension is laid, the customer should carry out the water supply test and confess that the water temperature pipeline has no water seepage before the floor can be equipped.

11. Under normal circumstances, the customer specifies the direction of sawing the floor to avoid unnecessary troubles. Suggested orientation: Cut on a balcony, washroom, or hallway.

12. In the process of flooring equipment, the customer does not know and does not know the local area, and communicates with the construction team leader in a timely manner; If you still don't know, you should directly consult with the person in charge of the ** party. Doubts are dealt with in a timely manner.

13. After the construction is completed, it should be checked on the spot to see if there is any damage, if not, the customer signs and confesses. If there is any doubt, you need to contact our after-sales service in time, on-site inspection of the damage and the cause, if it is indeed my construction or product questions, we will bear all the costs, if not my construction and product questions, the customer needs to bear the cost of construction and materials.
