Linoleum is one of the most popular flooring. This material is universal, since it can be laid almost on any surface, providing an elegant appearance of the room and not giving the owners much trouble during cleaning. However, the peculiarities of its laying depend on the material of the floor of the room and the type of linoleum. Today we will consider the order of flooring of linoleum on a wooden floor.
Preparing the wooden floor before the flooring of the linoleum
Before proceeding to the laying of linoleum on the wooden floor, this floor should be carefully prepared. It often happens that there are crevices between the floorboards, and not all the boards are the same in height. Therefore, in the first place shplyklyutsya cracks - for these purposes apply a variety of sealing compounds. Such work will ensure not only a long service life of linoleum, but even better insulate the entire room. If the difference in height of the individual floorboards is significant, then you should work as a plane.
In some cases you will have to replace one or two boards. It should be noted that after the linoleum is laid, the possibility of visual control over the condition of the floorboards will disappear. Hence, they must be prepared for long-term reliable operation. For this, in addition floor boards are treated with special compounds that exclude the defeat of wood by mold and various fungi. And for insects, the boards will become "tasteless".
For final leveling of the floor surface, it is treated, for example, with an organolite. There is another way - before laying linoleum on the floor on its wooden boards fix the sheets of fiberboard, leaving no joints between them. The resulting seams are also sealed.
It turns out a kind of dense foundation for linoleum. This will further improve the sound and hydraulic insulation of the room, and, of course, additionally it will "warm".Such a coating reliably protects the floor and the possible "creaking".
For a well-prepared wooden floor, thin linoleum is suitable. It is cheaper and easier to fit. However, it should be noted that its service life is somewhat less than that of thicker types of coating. If the seams from the joints of the pieces of linoleum are obtained in a prominent place, then the decorative floor profile masks them well.
