The basic norms of the floor covering include:
• Strength
• Duration of operation
• Heat insulation
• design.
From how correctly, taking into account all the nuances, put the insulating substrate under the flooring, in particular laminate, will depend on its compliance with high-quality and operational requirements.
Varieties and functional lining
• Sound isolation. It doesn't matter what the substrate is decided to put under the main layer, the laminate is already from the conveyor with reliable noise insulation, but the additional gasket protects the housing from unpleasant knocking of the coating of the base, the floor creak, and the sound of the steps.
• Heat insulation. The laminate itself is cold, and whether it is necessary to put an additional gasket the question is not worth it, the substrate is spread not only to align the surface, but also increase the efficiency of heat saving.
• floor alignment. With the help of a thick liner minimize defects that remain on the concrete screed or sheets of the chipboard.
In stores a rich selection of building materials and choose the necessary available depending on which texture and thickness need a lining, who will put the substrate selected the base under laminate from:
• Foamed polyethylene foam, which does not rot, has high heat-saving quality and high density.
• Corks in pure form or in combination with other products. How to choose and put such a gasket Look on the rollers on the network, because the cork substrate is easy to use under the laminate and do it yourself.
• Special synthetics
• Conifers.
The choice of lining under the flooring of laminated plates depends largely on the purpose of the area: rooms in the apartment, office, technical premises, etc.
Sequence of laying
• At the first stage, be sure to prepare a draft floor, whether you can lay one or more layers of the substrate to be aligned under the laminate surface and eliminate flaws.• The hydro and heat insulation layer is stacked
• It is selected which side you need to lay a sheet or roll off and the substrate is mounted.
• When under the laminate, all components are collected.
When mounting, the lining sheets glue each other, but they are not attached to the wall and floor.
Select side
Often the question arises which side is a smooth, foil or ribbed layer plates or a sheet substrate. It is more correct to turn the sheets to turn the sheets with a smooth part up, also up should look at the foil, which allows you to maintain heat and increase the effectiveness of floor heating. When installing the tiles are sicked with scotch, but not fixed.
Recommendations Masters
In practice, there are many nuances and, having decided to repair independently, find out how without errors to put the floor covering, using the substrate so that then it did not have to look under the laminate.
• Material It is recommended to have perpendicular to the walls.
• eliminate all the gaps and cracks, whatever the substrate you choose, it is better if the space between the walls is fully occupied, laying the lining under the laminate you need to comply with all technologies
• We do not advise you to choose thickened materials, although in certain cases it is possible to put a couple of layers, but remember that they increase the depreciation. Two substrates are allowed to be installed under the laminate if it is difficult to align the floor with another way.
• Products from the Christmas tree often choose as a gasket, but as the rules, there is no firing or coniferous provider. There are no special requirements for laying, the plates for laminate are perfectly adapted to any coating, but it is desirable that the boards are not prepedential.
The owner of the house itself decides, how to do: put a sheet and rolled substrate independently or invite the masters to create a durable floor under the laminate, which will take responsibility for the purchase, laying and service life of the floor.
