The installation of solid wood flooring has always been a concern of many friends. Some people spend a lot of money to buy solid wood flooring that they like, which often causes problems because of installation mistakes. Even if the factory is sent to a person to install it, such problems often occur. What should you pay attention to when installing solid wood flooring? Xiao Bian here to help you summarize. Even if we are not a decoration expert, we can also use these rules to supervise the work and try to install solid wood floors at one time.
Pre-installation preparation
1 Acceptance of flooring products entering the market, whether the style and quality are the same as they need. The surface is clean, no burrs, wear scars and so on.
2 The wood keel must go through a good drying process. It is best to look at its moisture content test report at the time of purchase, generally ≤ 16%.
3 After paving the floor, it is generally necessary to clean the floor and keep it dry. This will lay a good foundation for the use of the floor in the future.
4 Installing the masters will bring various tools when installing the floor. If you are working next to the supervisor, it is best to bring “tools†such as rulers and reference materials.
Installation details
5 The width of the wooden keel should be even, about 30-40 cm, and the length of an adult's foot is almost the same. You can try to measure it yourself.
6 In order to ensure the stability of the wooden keel, the worker master will fix the keel with a magnesium stud every 30cm or so. Care must be taken to bypass the various wire tubes to avoid problems in the future.
7 The smoothness of the wooden keel is related to the smoothness of the floor after being laid, and the error is controlled to be about 1mm per two meters as far as possible, otherwise it is easy to be uneven.
8 Do not stick the wooden keel tightly to the wall. After thermal expansion, it is easy to arch and deform. It is best to leave an 8-10mm expansion joint between the wall and the surface.
9 Before spreading the floor, evenly spread some wood blocks between the wooden keel and have a good anti-mite effect, about 30 yuan for 1 kg.
10 In order to enhance the life of solid wood flooring and prevent it from being damp and moldy, it is necessary to lay a moistureproof mat on the wooden keel. Moisture-proof mats should be kept as tightly as possible, preferably about 10cm above the corner.
11 There are often color differences in solid wood floors, and products with similar colors must be placed together during installation, while those with large differences in color should be laid underneath the bed, bottom of the cabinet, etc.
12 Common solid wood floors are mostly staggered and paved with floor nails. The length of the floor nail is preferably 2.5 times the thickness of the board, and the nailing angle of the installation master is also very particular. It is best to insert the nail from a 40-60 degree angle. If it is too high or too low, it cannot be fixed firmly. Loose easily.
13 The stability of solid wood flooring is not good, and it is easily deformed and stretched due to seasons. It cannot be close to the wall when paving, and it is better to leave 8-12mm spacing.
14 When the floor length and width direction is ≥ 6m and the length direction is ≥ 15m, it is necessary to choose a suitable location to stay in the expansion joints, and use buckles excessively, most families do it at the door.
15 When most of the family's door covers have been installed when paving the floor, it is best to have the installation master handle the door so that the floor is just under the door. Or cut off the floor, the septum should be fine, otherwise it is more ugly.
16 If the floor and the kitchen and bathroom are not on the same level, use stainless steel buckles and marble thresholds at the interface to prevent water from being deformed in the future.
17 In addition to paying attention to the seam between the floor and other locations, the gap between the kanban and the board during the pavement shall be ≤0.5mm between the board and the board to ensure the flatness of the floor as a whole; the surface gap shall be flat and wide. ≤ 0.5mm, there is no obvious gap, but it can not be too compact, easy to walk on the top of the sound or the future arch.
18 Solid wood floors are delicate and easy to scratch. When the floor is covered, clean the surface and protect it from damage to the floor when you do other work.
