The terrace board is a modern material,Used for floor installation both indoors and outdoors. There are only two of its main varieties: natural and composite. The first type is made of wood of different breeds. The most popular in this case is a board made of larch. According to its performance characteristics, it differs little from an oak tree, it costs a little less. Dimensions of the terrace board of this type are usually standard.
In the production of this type of material,larch is used an array of certain dimensions, quality and weight. From the usual such a board differs only in that its front surface has a corrugated texture. In the production process, this material is treated with antiseptic agents. The merits of it can be attributed primarily to the fact that it is not damaged at all during snow cleaning by a shovel in the winter period of time. In the summer, a terrace board made of larch does not slip at all. Also, the advantages of this material include increased strength and resistance to unfavorable environmental factors: temperature drops, humidity, etc.
In addition, the advantage of a terrace board fromlarch is considered an aesthetic appearance. The wood of this variety has a very beautiful texture. In addition, the terrace board of this type is laid in a special way - with small gaps, which gives the floor a special charm. Dimensions of the terrace board from larch are about the same as those of the usual genital. It can be used not only on verandas and in gazebos. Very often, it is the paths adjacent to the house, the swimming pool, the summer kitchen, and so on.
Most often for the arrangement of floors and pathsTypical terracotta board is used. Its dimensions are standard. The width is 140 mm, the length is 4 m, the thickness is 27-28 mm. However, if you want, you can order or find on sale material and other dimensions. Sometimes for some reason, the owners of suburban areas are more convenient to use lamellae, the length of which is, for example, 2 meters, 3, 5 or 5.5.
Also very popular options are morea cheap terrace board made of larch 20 mm thick and more expensive by 35-45 mm. Sometimes, when finishing the floor of verandas and arbors, a wide material is used for 165 and 190 mm, or on the contrary, narrow - by 90 or 115 cm.
The dimensions of the atypical terraced board, therefore,can be different. In direct proportion to the size is the cost of this material. Sell it not with cubic meters, like a regular board, but with square or running meters. So, the standard lamella on 140 mm long 4 m can cost from 800 to 1600 rubles. for 1 m2 depending on the quality of the wood.
When calculating the material necessary for arranging the floor on a veranda or in a gazebo, it should be borne in mind that such boards are laid with a gap of about 3-7 mm.
A terrace board is installed, the dimensions of which arethe assemblies are quite comfortable, just like the usual sex on pre-laid logs. The distance between the last should be about 40-70 cm (depending on the expected load). Above the ground, lags are raised at least 10 cm. This space is necessary for draining rainwater and ventilating. If this gap is not left, the logs will quickly rot.
The actual mounting of the board itself canare made in two ways: open or secret. In the first case, stainless steel screws are used. With this fixation technique, the assembled floor looks riveted, which is very unusual and original.
With the secret fastening method usedspecial metal clips with spikes. In this case, the boards are screwed with screws from the end. Slots between the elements are left to prevent water from stagnating on the terrace or veranda. Before the assembly of the floor, as well as after it, the board is covered with special oil-based facilities intended for wood. Every few years of operation, this operation should be repeated.
The material made of larch is differentdurability and aesthetic appeal. In addition, this board is absolutely safe in terms of ecology. However, it costs a lot. Meanwhile, the market has a similar material, even more durable and resistant to moisture, but at the same time less expensive. This is a terraced board made of polymer composites. Inferior to the material from larch mainly in terms of environmental safety.
The material of this type is made from woodsawdust and polymers. The mass is squeezed out of a special installation in the form of a corrugated hollow plate of ideal geometry. The colors of the composite material can vary widely.
The standard dimensions of a terraced polymer board are 140x4000 mm. That is exactly the same as the material from larch. The only thing, its thickness is usually a bit smaller (20-23 mm).
There is a terrace board made of wood-polymercomposite, whose dimensions are standard, in the region of 300-400 rubles per running meter. The required number is calculated taking into account the gaps, the width of which can be 4-7 mm. Mount it in exactly the same way as made of natural material - that is, on special secret clips. The difference is that at the end of the assembly in this case there is no need for additional oil treatment or any other means. Caring for the polymer material is also much easier than for a terraced board made of larch or some other natural material.
So, you now know what theThe standard dimensions of the terrace board are from larch and composite. Both materials are mounted elementary. And, although the price of a terraced board is quite high, buy it for your veranda or gazebo is worth it. After all, it will last much longer than usual sexual or edging. And in any case, such a finish looks much more solid.
