The popularity of laying a massive board received due to the strength of the material. Externally - it has much in common with a parquet board, but is entirely made up of a woody massif.
This floor covering is durable and practical, more resistant to external aggressive factors, withstands more grinding and loads.
You need to start the installation of a massive board at the very last stage of the repair. To avoid problems, it is recommended to study the material features, learn more about the ways of laying, etc.

Ways of laying
Preparation of a reliable foundation is one of the important steps in the technology of laying a massive board.
It is possible to install on a wide variety of surfaces:
- Cement-concrete or concrete screed;
- Plywood;
- Natural wood;
- On the log;
- On the staples.
The most common way - laying a massive board on concrete or cement screed.
Installation is carried out with the help of an adhesive compound, resistant to temperature changes and safe for humans.
If you choose the laying of a massive board on the screed, it is checked for strength, the absence of various damages( unevenness, chips and cracks).

The recommended surface moisture content is 6-7%.If it is higher, then it is necessary to equip the waterproofing.
No less popular is the laying of a massive board on plywood. But under it there must be an additional vapor barrier layer.
The moisture content of the material should not be more than 10%.Fixation is carried out with a two-component glue, pins for pneumatic gun every 30 cm make lateral fasteners.
Traditional is the laying of a massive board on the logs, which are placed during the reconstruction works.
Works are carried out in the shortest time and do not need to use cement mixtures. Under the lag is laid a layer of waterproofing on the basis of a polyethylene film or penofol.
Very interesting laying a massive board on the staples. This method is classified as floating, it allows you to save up to 30-40% on installation work.
Aluminum products must be installed together with silicone expansion joints, which improve the connection from the ends.
Often the massive board is laid using own wooden flooring. But you need to make sure that the old base is reliable, its humidity does not exceed 8-10%.
Extra layers of paint and varnish are removed and the surface is thoroughly ground to eliminate all possible unevennesses.

The direction of mounting of the massive board should coincide with the direction of the old flooring. Self-tapping screws with anti-corrosion coating are used as fasteners.
Having learned in more detail about what are the ways of laying a massive board, the most optimal one is chosen.
Preparatory work for
It is necessary to prepare the following tool for laying a massive board:
- Drawing accessories( metal ruler, pencil, scribe);
- Spatula;
- Joiner's corner;
- Pneumatic stapler;
- Screwdriver;
- Drill;
- Wood kiylum;
- Self-tapping screws.
It is recommended to buy self-tapping screws for laying a solid board with anti-corrosive plating.
They do not rust and smooth the effect of seasonal fluctuations. Do not use special parquet nails.
From the bottom, brackets can be mounted for laying a massive stainless steel board.
They snap into the groove or screwed with screws on the back and securely fix the two elements together.
Obligatory preparation requires laying a parquet from a massive board on a concrete surface.
Do not allow direct contact between them, as it will reduce the lifespan of the floor covering.
Between the planes create a gasket with a primer and a vapor barrier film. The slots at the joints must be securely sealed.
Before answering the question how correctly to put a massive board, you need to prepare the building material.
He must acclimatize, having lain indoors for 6-7 days. Products are placed on a stand to ensure a normal air circulation.
For those who have already dealt with flooring, it is not difficult to perform work on laying a massive board yourself. Feeling uncertainty in their abilities, one should turn to the master.
Now let's take a closer look at how to put a massive board and what rules are recommended to adhere to.
Features of laying on plywood or wooden flooring
Its features are plywood piling under a massive board, which must be securely fixed to the main base.
It is recommended to use material thickness of 1.3-1.5 cm
Before installation, the plywood sheets are covered in strips 0.5-0.6 m wide.

It is recommended to stack them at an angle of 40-45 degrees to the future deck from the array. Between the stripes, it is recommended to make gaps of up to 3 mm to compensate for deformations during thermal expansion.
Between the concrete and plywood coatings necessarily insulate the vapor barrier layer. After grinding, you can begin installing a massive board.
Two-component glue and studs for lateral fastening are used as a connecting link.
The plywood can be laid with a floating board. The peculiarity of the method is that the board and the bases are detached, and the fastening is carried out by the array dies.
This method is optimal for "warm floor" systems, thus compensating for temperature and humidity changes.
Much in common is the installation of a floor from a massive board on a wooden old surface. But this method is justified only if the basis is reliable.
Sex, which is in doubt, needs to be dismantled, as it will have a negative impact on the array.
It is recommended to lay a plywood thickness of 5-6 mm on the ground coat, but its direction can be any.
It has already been mentioned that it is better to use a two-component adhesive for laying a solid board based on polyurethane. But it can be replaced with a single-component MS-polymer composition.
Features of laying a massive board
After examining the options for laying a massive board and choosing the most suitable one, having prepared the base, it's time to start the installation.
The technology has much in common with laying laminate and all the work can be done by our efforts.

It is necessary to clearly understand the rules for laying a massive board, so that later there are no problems.
If after a few samples the result seems unsatisfactory, it is worthwhile to think and hire a construction team, which makes the whole range of works on a turn-key basis.
As a rule, the scheme for laying a massive board involves screwing the screws in steps of 25-30 cm.
On the side of the stud in the board, it is necessary to drill a hole in order to prevent splits.
On a solid base, the massive floorboard is laid using a special two-component adhesive.
An alternative is elastinol or a substrate with one adhesive side.
It has noise-proof and thermo-insulating properties, due to which it gained popularity in multi-storey houses.
When fixing the floorboards, it is recommended to drive the wedges for a more dense connection. Between the floor covering and the wall, leave a gap of 1 cm.
The first row should be laid with a groove turned to the wall. It is fixed on the front part, which will be closed with a plinth.
Laying a massive parquet board of large size( width 15 cm or more), fixation is made from the front side.
The hat must be welded 8-10 mm deep, and the opening should be closed with a special plug made of a similar rock.
Many may be interested in the instructions for laying a massive board on the logs. It is recommended to use a bar measuring from 5x7 to 6x10 cm. At the same time, its humidity should not be more than 10%.
The logs are fixed to the base with dowels or anchor bolts. The distance between the fasteners is made equal to 40-50 cm.
The laying of the log is made strictly perpendicular to the direction of the board and with an interval of 25-30 cm. A heater is inserted into the space between the beams.
Service prices
If someone decided to turn to professionals, you should find out the price of laying a massive board.
It can vary and depend on the amount of work, the materials used and the number of steps required.
The average cost of stacking a massive board for the market is( relative to the walls, per sq. M.):
- Perpendicular - from 500 rubles;
- At an angle - from 600 rubles.
Given the cost of preparation, the price of mounting a massive board can reach 1500 rubles per square meter.m.
