Laying a laminate with your own hands video

Before laying the laminate floor, it is necessary to level the floor, for example, to make a screed. The screed under the laminate floor can have clearances no more than 3 mm, when laying a two-meter-long rail. Unevenness of the floor under the rake depth of more than 3 mm should be ground or putty.

Tools and materials for laying laminate:

- Polyethylene film 0.2 mm thick( serves as a vapor barrier);
- Noise-insulating substrate layer( 2 mm thick substrate);
- Spacing wedges;
- Saw( better and more convenient to use jigsaw);
- Pencil, ruler;
- Adhesive for fastening pieces of laminate to heating pipes( with a locking method of connection);
- Hammer;
- Wooden bar( it's fashionable to use a piece of trimmed laminate board);
- Extension rod.

The required amount is calculated proceeding from the fact that in one box of laminate boards for 2 sq. M.After purchasing the material should be left indoors in boxes for a day - two, so that the panels are accustomed to a new temperature regime.

When installing a laminate floor, the room temperature must be at least +18 degrees. The temperature of the substrate is not below +15.And no more than 70% relative humidity in the room. You can not nail or glue the laminate, since this is a "floating" floor.

Polyethylene film with overlap of strips not less than 200 mm spreads on the floor. The film must go to the walls. Then the soundproofing substrate is laid out. The direction of the layout should coincide with the direction of laying of the laminated panels.

Just before laying the laminate on your own, you need to calculate the width of the final row of panels, it should not be less than 50 mm. If this does not work, then the first panel is trimmed along the width. The distance between the first and the last panel from the wall should be within 10 mm - 15 mm. To fix the distance from the wall to the panel, wedges of fixed thickness are used( small laminate cuttings can be used).Wedges are stacked 2 pcs.on one panel. After laying the entire floor, the wedges are removed. The gaps are closed by the plinth. Plinths are fixed to the wall using dowels or plugs.
