Before putting modern outdoor material: laminate or linoleum, it will be necessary to align the previous, wooden.
If the floor is experiented in the old, and also a wooden house, then the variants of defect corrections are several:
• Cyclishing
• Applying a self-leveling mixture
• Plywood substrate
• cement strainer.
Selecting the way to adjust or align the long-term old flooring depends on which state of the board. Over the years of operation, the wooden floor becomes curves, sometimes rotten, and contain insects and their larvae, which for several years only destroy the structure of the tree. All works are easy, they are often carried out with their own hands or hire masters.
The boarding coating is not always destroyed, in some cases the rails simply "leads", but the floor remains strong.
Correction options
Cyclishing.
Consider in more detail how to align parquet or old uneven wooden floors in a private dwelling or apartment in a cycloxy method. We will immediately discuss that this method is expensive, and the process is a time consuming, requiring workwear, protective mask and headphones. Preparation includes the shelter of furniture from dust, cutting the carnations below the surface level, processing by special tool, powder the cracks and chipping, completing the polishing of the cyclical machine. After you managed to bite and align the surface, the old, but the refreshed wooden floor is ready to cover with varnish or laminate.
Plywood.
Minor defects align the wood-layered stove, the floor-made plywood is suitable for further work with laminate or linoleum. Sheets are cut into parts and stacked with old coating, wooden or previous plywood floor. We pre-mark on the walls and exhibit the "lighthouses" by self-draws. Lags are made of timber or plywood plates, and the process is completed with the attachment of the aligning layer of screws to lags.
Aligning mixture.
The correction of the defects of the floor covering is connected both with painting or varnishing, and with the need to align the curve surface, remove the old layer and put on the wooden flooring another material. By means of bulk mass prepare the floor under the tile, laminated plates or linoleum. It is convenient to dissolve the surface with the help of the mixture and is practical, but it is expensive and difficult to work, requires preparatory activities.
If you independently align the old parquet, plywood or wooden floor is not possible, the master in the leaves can cope with the task quickly and efficiently.
Cement strainer
- A common way to align the curve or the old floor. Initially, wooden flooring in a private house is covered with waterproofing, polyethylene or rubberoid, beacons are exposed and poured with prepared cement mortar.
If it is necessary to align individual fragments, the old protruding element is preloaded with an ax, and then the wooden floor is grouped by an electric or handbank, it is brought to the total smoothness of the grinding machine and is covered with varnish or paint.
