The floor of the chipboard has a fairly good performancestrength, therefore it is quite often arranged in apartments and houses not only professionals, but also private masters. This modern coating can be used as a rough or independent flooring, which has an attractive appearance. It can be laid on any kind of surface, including old coatings, without resorting to their preliminary dismantling, which reduces the cost of coating and work.
With this material, you can hide defectsbases, cracks, cracks and irregularities. Quite often for such work is used a 3-mm plate, which has the qualities of resistance to moisture. In the production process, it is impregnated with oil, and at the laying stage, as a rule, placed on the first floors.
If you have to work with the floor that hassignificant roughness, it is worth buying a 6-mm slab. On sale you can find the chipboard of the desired variety, among them: soft boards, hard with a refined surface, hard with a tinted face layer, and also a material with a face layer of fine dispersion wood pulp. You can buy and hard boards of increased strength, which have a face layer in the form of a fine dispersion mass.
The floor made of chipboard has many advantages before,which is arranged with the help of other materials. Among the advantages are low cost, environmental safety, as well as a dense structure, which can be obtained by the hot pressing of sawdust. Among other things, the slabs cope well with mechanical influences, are distinguished by their durability and strength. If the floor is covered with this material, it will be well sound and heat insulated.
The flat surface of the material makes it possible to obtainFlat floor on which you can lay any cover. Even an inexperienced person will be able to cope with the work, since the material is easy to lay. In the course of manufacturing, synthetic resins and antiseptics are added to the raw material, which are intended to improve the properties of the material, because in terms of its quality characteristics it is compared to natural wood.
If you properly operate the chipboard, it will last long. The recommendations are the application of water-resistant paint or water-repellent varnishes, which can also improve the appearance of the coating.
Before starting to cover the floor with chipboard,it is necessary to prepare the plates, which must undergo acclimatization in the room, and also obtain normal humidity. This will eliminate the bloating of the material during operation. Within two days the sheets are kept indoors in a calm state. If the floor surface has large differences, then it is necessary to perform the flooring from the logs or to fill the solution. Checking the roughness of the rough surface can be done with a building level, which will help to make marks at the same height along the perimeter of the walls. After the marks are joined, it becomes clear whether the floor is to be leveled.
If you decide to perform a floor from a chipboard, you shouldprepare the base for styling. Ideally a smooth surface can be achieved with a cement-based screed and sand, which is poured to the line marked at the previous stage. The surface before refilling should be cleaned and dried, pouring a 50-mm layer of sand, the top is to distribute the finished solution. After drying on the screed, a primer or bitumen is applied, which is previously dissolved in gasoline. After waiting 8 hours, you can start laying the chipboard with the help of glue or mastic.
Over the entire surface, the screed is covered with masticor a thin layer of glue. Plates should also be treated with glue. Bitumen mastic will dry out quickly enough, therefore its application should be carried out on a zone of stacking of one sheet. After the rubber composition is leveled and the plates fastened. The surface must then be pressurized, which will act for some time before it dries. The resulting coating can be operated in a few days.
Particleboard can be laid on the floor after installationsystem of lag. Before this, you should measure the dimensions of the sheets to produce markings on the floor. Beam treated with antiseptic, which were previously dried well. They are attached directly to the floor, the distance between them should not be more than 40 cm. If you use dried wood, this can lead to its decay or deformation. In this case, after 2 years the floor will require repair. It should be taken into account that the width of the slabs of the material should not be more than the width of the logs, otherwise the floor will be uneven, and large pieces of furniture will fall over.
Shpuntovannaya chipboard for the floor is laid onspecific technology. Before starting work, the material should be inspected for mold, in which case a primer and an antiseptic are applied to the surface. Leaving about 10 mm from the wall, you can begin to cover the material, this will form a temperature suture. After the completion of the work, it is decorated with a skirting board. The slabs should fit well together and do not form a skew. It is necessary to start the installation from the wall, which is opposite to the exit.
Plates are laid out near adjacent walls, notallowing the formation along them a narrow band. If the chipboard is installed on the glue, then it should be leveled over the entire surface of the sheet, allowing it to dry out. To achieve higher strength, the floor is primed before applying the adhesive. If there is a vertical pipeline in the room, then close the gap around it, which is filled with a cement-sand mortar.
ДСП или фанера на пол укладываются таким образом, so that the joints of the plates do not fall on those places where the floor is operated with the greatest intensity. This includes areas around the refrigerator, cooker or sink. Fastening is carried out with the help of nails, screws and screws. If the plates are 19 mm thick, then nails should be used. They need to be driven at an angle of 30 °, removing each other by 10 cm. The installation of the EAF on the floor should be carried out in such a way that the nail heads are tightly hammered into the material and do not protrude from above. Traces of fasteners should be sealed with putty on wood, which is selected for the color of the coating. Do not use long nails, as this may cause damage to the wires and pipes located under the base.
The joints are covered with putty to make the floorattractive. If you arrange the structure on the joists, it will make the floor warmer. If it is necessary to perform a complex cutting of the slab, you must use a template prepared in advance from the cardboard. If the laying is carried out on a wooden base, then the bituminous primer is not used.
Quite often in homes used for repairsParticleboard, wooden floor can be covered with this material to get a perfectly flat surface. At the final stage, the adhesive should be removed with the help of rags, the formed gaps should be filled with putty. Such a surface is often grounded and polished, but it is not necessary to do this if a laminate, parquet, carpet or linoleum is placed on top. If you still decide to make the painting, then you can use a paint composition or alkyd enamel, which has water repellent characteristics.
Particleboard moisture resistant sheet piling for the floor can also be used as an independent coating if you need a budget solution.
