A few words about choosing.. I do not advise you to take cheap. This is probably and so clear.. But for some reason they still take. I know from experience, they take the design parquet, for example, for the sale of an apartment. That is, it looks normal (the first time. Very first..) and to the touch seems to be nothing, but this is literally for a few months walking in socks, without taking into account the move.. I would also advise (but this is a personal opinion) to take parquet (laminate) with a hollow at the joints. That is, all the planks are visible separately. In general, not smooth, like linoleum. Less likelihood of hooks with the same rag behind the corner of the board, which is fraught with a separation of the layer of laminate from the corner, also if the floor is not quite even (permit about 2 mm by 2m. That is, a fossa is permissible or a bulge for a length of 2 m about 2 mm) is probably the discrepancy between the parquet, the bulging of the corners, etc. D. It is literally about the hundredths of a millimeter, but they will be visible on a smooth surface, especially in the light. And again, it is fraught with hooks by the same running children in socks. All these problems are excluded with a laminate with “uppy” seams. Well, this is again my personal opinion and a matter of taste. So.. Choose a laminate.. Brought. Let it lie down, adapt, get used to it for at least a day, accept the temperature of the room. It will not be superfluous to cut the packaging film around the perimeter, that the parquet could “breathe”. We measure well, but better vacuum clean, well, or if not sorry, with your vacuum cleaner. See carefully that there are no different types of crumbs, Kameshkoff. Since this is fraught with a creak in the future. We lay the substrate behind. Choose the substrate yourself. Each has its own pros and cons of. Well, for example, in traffic jams of minuses, this is the price and floor for such a substrate should be even as a billiard table.. Since it does not crush and does not give more tolerance on the floor for the laminate. In a word, the parquet will simply repeat all the bumps of such a gender. I would advise this one. It has long been on the market for a long time and there were no problems with it when applying and operating in the future. It happens in white. Optimum thickness 3mm. It is advisable to lay it across the future masonry of the board. But if in order to save money I want to put along the room and parquet and substrate, then absolutely not critical. The main joints. We glue the joints like the wallpaper “joint in the joint” with ordinary wide tape. Carefully pressing adhesive tape to the substrate. For example, to finally release children from the cage forever during the repair of children and let them run at the junction.. And so the installation of parquet.. Rather laminate. More precisely, laminated board. Parquet is usually laid along the room in the direction of the window. Stacking is done in a checkerboard pattern. That is, the next row is shifted by half or a third of the previous row. This is already at your discretion. Laminate consumption also depends on this. It already depends on the individual size of the room. And so we lay the first row. Just join the strip from the end side to the entire length of the wall. And we look.. The wall is flat? Lucky. Just drink the last board along the desired length. Yes.. it is the last and precisely in terms of the desired length.. ) Between the wall and parquet it is better to immediately put something. I usually use the parquet itself. More precisely pruning. He just fits width. This is about one centimeter. If the wall is uneven, then you will have to saw off the parquet so that it would repeat the contours of the wall. And what to do.. Well, after that the next row.. Having put about three football fields of the parquet (laminate) for my practice and almost always doing this one, I can say with confidence that it turns out to be faster and better, it is not strange, as shown in the instructions for the parquet.. That is, one after one. By inserting one, we insert the next. And not as many do, they collect the row entirely and then insert this row into the previous. You can and so. Especially if you are two. Well, actually and all.. So a row behind a row we reach the opposite wall and here is the most unpleasant moment is a sawing off the last strip along the wall. Leaving a gap near cm. +- 5mm. If you forgot to put some kind of expande between the first line and the wall that I spoke about and went around the pipes and drank along the last row. That.. Congratulations – probably you added hemorrhoids.. Since now moving the parquet back from the first wall to make a gap, you will most likely take your floor into a pipe or into a corner, or into the wall.. And this is unacceptable. Parquet has the ability to expand and if he has nowhere to do this, he is lifted up with a “house” on the seams. But by the way, if I rested only on the one hand, it is possible, possible …).
