Please ask the floor keel is ready, install the wardrobe first or lay the floor first

For laying wooden floors, installing wardrobes or wardrobes first, such a statement is actually to choose what kind of wooden floors to lay, solid wood floors need to lay keels, so that it will be about 7 cm higher than the ground. Of course, there is no need for composite wood flooring, if you lay the wooden floor first, you are making a wardrobe, so that the bottom of the wardrobe feels like an empty part. If you say that you want to make a wardrobe first, the whole is more beautiful, and the wooden floor is spread to the side under the clothes, and it feels that the wardrobe is particularly stable inlaid in the wooden floor, but you can't move the wardrobe.

It stands to reason that you have to lay the floor first, because the sequelae of floor oil are not laid under the cabinet, although it saves hundreds of dollars, but you still care about that after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on decoration? The floor under the cabinet will cause the floor to be out of shape, especially when the weather is dry, there will be a large gap in the floor shrinkage, because the floor is not laid under the cabinet, people walk on the floor for a long time, the floor will run into the cabinet, there will be a large gap, if there is dust under the floor stall, the dust will run out in the floor crack with the movement of people. Also, if you want to change the cabinet you buy, your cabinet can't be changed if you don't have a floor underneath, so it is recommended to have a full floor!

Lay the floor first, then install the cabinet, and then fill the baseboard.

Lay the floor first to install the cabinet.

Decoration is a very deep science, pay attention to a lot of details, if you are not careful when decorating, you will find a lot of regrets in the future! Especially those who experience renovation for the first time should pay more attention. In the process of home decoration, laying the floor is the most basic project, when laying the floor, the keel must be laid first, which is easy to be ignored by everyone.

Many people think that after the ground is leveled, the floor can be laid, which is a wrong idea. Let's take a look at the suggestions given to you by the master of decoration.

When installing the floor, whether to lay the keel, can not just look at the ground.

Let's first understand what a keel is:

What you see here is the keel, which has a fixed structure and plays a supporting role, which is very common in the process of home improvement. For example, it is used when the ceiling of the house, the floor is installed, and the lamps are installed. There are two kinds of materials commonly used as keels in decoration, one is light steel keel; The other is a timber keel.

Timber keels are used for flooring.

Why install the keel:

Before installing the floor, the keel is laid first, which will not only make the floor more comfortable, but also have the role of cushioning and protecting the floor.

In the decoration, there are some people who use ordinary plastic foam, which is not only easy to rot, but also has a bad thermal insulation effect of plastic foam, and it is necessary to redo it in the future, which is very troublesome.

The floor is wooden, as long as it is wooden, it is afraid of moisture, first hit the keel, and then install the floor, which can not only reduce the friction between the floor and the ground, but also can be damp and wet. In the process of decoration, the ground leveling is not easy, after the keel is played, it is conducive to the ground leveling, so that the installation of the floor is very easy.

The floor also has the phenomenon of thermal expansion and cold contraction, first hit the keel, and then install the floor, so that the floor is not easy to deform in the future, and can also extend the service life of the floor.

When decorating, should you install a wardrobe or wooden flooring first? Why?

1. If it is a custom wardrobe, the wooden floor is usually laid before installing the cabinet. Because the production cycle of custom cabinets is about a month, we can use this time to lay the floor. When laying floors and installing baseboards, custom cabinets should be left blank; Try to use quality flooring products to avoid problems in the future, and the flooring under the wardrobe is not easy to replace.

When assembling cabinets, we need to protect the wooden floor.

2. If the carpenter makes the wardrobe on site, due to the progress of the project and the construction time, the wardrobe is usually made first, and then the wooden floor is installed. If you're making cabinets, you'll usually need to raise them so that they retain the height of the floor and baseline. The gap between the floor and the wardrobe can be covered with anchor wire.

The wardrobe is laid directly on the flat cement floor for better stability and stability. However, if the floor is damp, the planks of the wardrobe are susceptible to moisture and mold.

3. There is no absolute answer to install a cabinet or floor first. It has its advantages no matter which one is installed first. For example, installing the cabinet first can save floor laying area and avoid scratching walls and floors. Lay the floor first, the overall installation effect is more beautiful, and it plays a certain role in isolating the moisture on the ground.

4. Moisture-proof considerations: lay the wooden floor first.

If the floor is relatively low and the ground is susceptible to moisture, the first thing to do is to do moisture-proof work at the bottom, which must be done in the appropriate place. Then, it is also advisable to install the wardrobe on a wooden floor first, so that there will be an additional layer of protection underneath the wardrobe so that the bottom of the wardrobe can be protected from moisture. In fact, this is an environment that is prone to moisture, and the most important thing is to do basic moisture prevention work.

The wardrobe is made of wooden flooring, which has a good moisture-proof effect.

5. Finishing consideration: lay the wooden floor first.

Closure is closely related to decorative beauty. Whether the décor is beautiful or not depends largely on the details of the finish. If the wardrobe is installed first and then the wooden floor is laid, the closure between the wardrobe and the wooden floor is a detail that needs to be taken care of.

If you don't want to go through the hassle and don't want to go through the hassle of thinking about this closure, then go straight to the wooden flooring and then install the wardrobe so that you don't have to worry about the awkward closure.

If the wardrobe is made after the wooden floors have been laid, then there will be no closing problems.

6. Decoration cost: install the wardrobe first.

The wardrobe has an area of about 1 square meter and three rooms of 3 square meters. If you choose a more expensive wood flooring brand (if it costs 300 yuan per square meter), you can save a budget of 900-1000 yuan by installing a wardrobe first and then laying wooden flooring. If you have a limited renovation budget and you are more concerned about the cost of renovation, install the wardrobe first, and then lay the wooden floor.

1. If it is a customized wardrobe, it is usually the first wooden floor to install the cabinet. Because the production cycle of custom cabinets is about 1 month, we can use this time to lay the floor well. When installing baseboards on the floor, this piece of the custom cabinet should be left blank; Try to use high-quality products for the floor, so as not to have problems with the floor in the future, and the floor under the wardrobe is not easy to replace.

When assembling the cabinets, we need to protect the wooden floors.

2. If the wardrobe is made on the carpentry site, because of the progress of the project and the construction time, the wardrobe is usually made first and then the wooden floor is installed. If you want to make cabinets, you usually need to raise the cabinets to leave a floor and baseline. The gap between the floor and the wardrobe can be covered with a baseboard.

The wardrobe is directly paved on the flat cement floor, which has better stability and stability, but if the ground is damp, the wardrobe board is prone to moisture and mildew.

3. There is no absolute answer to install the cabinet or the floor first, no matter which one is installed first, it has its advantages. For example, installing cabinets first can save floor paving area, avoid scratching walls, floors, etc.; Lay the floor first, and the overall installation effect will be more beautiful, which will play a certain role in isolating the moisture on the ground.

In the process of installation, I think it is better to install the wardrobe first and then lay the floor, because after the floor is laid, the wardrobe is likely to be bumped.

Let's talk about it from 6 aspects.

1. Save money. If you install the wardrobe first, the floor under the wardrobe can be saved, and the loss of money can also save hundreds of yuan, but if the wardrobe is broken in the later stage, and you want to change to a large wardrobe, not only will it be very troublesome to repair the wardrobe, but also the wardrobe of different sizes, the size is small and it is not good-looking, and the size is large.

2. Later replacement.

Many people think that if the wardrobe is installed first, the wardrobe will not need to be dismantled when the floor is damp and the floor needs to be removed, but we can think about whether it is difficult to dismantle the wardrobe or difficult to remove the floor when changing the wardrobe? But there is another situation, if the floor is laid first, and then the cabinet is installed, we all know that the production of the floor is a card slot or buckle, if the cabinet is pressed on the wooden floor, after the wooden floor is damp, you find a floor manufacturer to repair, the maintenance personnel will definitely let you dismantle the cabinet, in addition, if you make a gypsum line on the cabinet, it is not only a problem with the floor and wardrobe, but also a problem with the wall.

3. Moisture-proof. If you lay the floor first, the floor can isolate the corrosive effect of the moisture of the cement floor on the wardrobe, which can make the service life of the wardrobe longer, which is indeed a clear advantage of laying the floor first.

4. Construction period.

When it comes to renovation, no one wants to spend a long time doing it. If the floor is laid first, it is more convenient to arrange the construction schedule by choosing to customize the cabinet or find workers to do it, and it is not necessary for all parties to make an explanation on site at the same time.

5. Leaving seams and cracking.

If you install the wardrobe first, you need to consider the gap between the floor and the wardrobe, if this gap is not handled well, it will also affect the aesthetics. In addition, install the floor first, you can leave a little space in the corner of the wall when installing, because the board has a phenomenon of thermal expansion and cold contraction, which is better to avoid the cracking of the cabinet.

6. The structure of the wardrobe.

The wardrobe at home is generally determined according to the decoration style of the home and personal preferences. If the wardrobe is of the panel type, the bottom plate is the side panel, and the door is the sliding type, so that all the forces are even. And if it's the kind of European-style wardrobe, with a few feet on the ground, if there is a keel on the floor, then it's better to think carefully.

Therefore, when decorating the home, whether to install the floor or the wardrobe first has to be determined according to the specific situation, but I still think it will be more convenient to lay the floor first.

Both can be:

Install the floor first, advantages: it is convenient for the wardrobe to be disassembled and moved in the future.

Disadvantages: 1. If the ground level is problematic, the weight of the wardrobe is easy to cause the other adjacent places of the wooden floor to warp 2. And the floor where the wardrobe is placed will generally appear after a period of time, and the color difference from other places will be obvious.

Install the wardrobe first, advantages: 1. The wardrobe is stressed on the ground, which has almost no impact on the floor. 2. When the floor is laid, the gap between the wardrobe and the ground can be well reduced, and the overall effect is better.

3. Save the cost of flooring.

Disadvantages: If you want to change wardrobes and move wardrobes, the cost is sometimes more than you can imagine.

Personal opinion: install the wardrobe first, as long as you determine the location of the furniture. Try to install the wardrobe first. Conducive to long-term home decoration use!

Do you have wooden floors in the bedroom first, or do you make a wardrobe first? The guy will give you a detailed analysis!

If it is a carpenter, you can re-lay the floor before. If it is a custom-made wardrobe, it is recommended to install it after laying the floor.

A custom wardrobe should be installed after the floor has been laid, or if it is a wardrobe made on site, it can be done before the floor is installed.

The installation sequence should be to install the wooden floor first, and then the wardrobe. First of all, the floor is generally a finished product, which can be installed at any time, and the custom wardrobe has a long production cycle, which takes more than a month, and if the wardrobe is installed first, it may affect the decoration progress. Secondly, laying the floor first is equivalent to adding a layer of partition under the wardrobe, which can effectively avoid dampness and alkali in the wardrobe.

In addition, problems such as uneven closure, damage to the surface of the wooden floor can be avoided. The wardrobe can be moved around at will. Closure strips can be saved, and there is no need to consider metal closure strips between the floor and the wardrobe.

Moistureproof. Placing the wardrobe on the floor can make the wardrobe and the floor have a layer of compartment, prevent the wardrobe from directly touching the ground, and the floor isolates the wet alkali corrosion of the cement floor.

Pay attention to protection. In particular, the plastic film can be used for floor protection + paper skin protection, so that the master is careful in the construction, which is basically not a problem. The floor paving area is small; But let's be honest, there's not much area that can be saved.

Compare the cabinets first, it won't hurt the floor. In any case, the floor will become more and more secure. Just like the paint is also made before the floor.

After the floor is laid, the furniture also enters the site, and then the paint touch-up. In the future, it will be more convenient than changing the floor.

If the floor needs to be replaced, it does not need to be moved to the cabinet, and there will be no problem connecting the old and new floors. Good maintenance in the future: This advantage is even more important, says one master, because if the cabinet is done behind it, the floor under the cabinet swells to maintain, it will be troublesome.

So he recommends making cabinets first, whether it's wooden cabinets or wardrobes. But sometimes the cupboard is too late, and you can also lay the floor first. The host said that you can leave a general location to leave space.

The laying range will reduce the cabinet area. The cupboard and the floor are closed with the skirting boards of the wardrobe. One of the owners in Yichun asked, is it okay if the floor is not next to the wall?

The owner said that it doesn't matter, the super hard-wearing wooden floor is left with expansion joints, and now it is left so big, the floor itself should be happy.

Install the wardrobe first, and then install the floor, which can save floor area. For example, to make a 2-meter long cabinet, enter the depth of meters, and count down the square meters. In my house, for example, I made three cabinets of this size, and the reinforced floor was 200 yuan per square meter, saving 720 yuan.

The floor is laid first, and then the wardrobe is installed, and the floor is generally a finished product that can be installed anywhere. The production cycle of custom wardrobe is long, more than one month.

Install the flooring first, which will not affect the renovation progress.

The wardrobe can be installed anywhere, and it can be installed in a day. After two or three years of moving in, if you want to move or change your wardrobe, you won't have to worry about the different colors of the floor. The color of the floor will be different if the batch is different, not to mention, after a few years, there may not be the same floor.
