The question of whether it is possible to laminate an old wooden floor is generally the case where the condition of the floor is so critical that the repair and restoration work does not have the desired effect. Laminate floors are a more affordable solution. It remains only to find out in which cases it is possible and what is necessary for it.

Even though the choice at the bottom of the floor is based on a material that is as practical as the laminate, you always need to know how to place it properly for a long time.

Soil conditions adjusted in the installation of parquet

 This may be a coating that has lost its aesthetics but at the same time maintains its performance, as well as a floor that has become unusable with foul cracks. You can only plan laminate floors in an old wooden floor if you can repair small areas and not all floors.

A partial restoration with the removal of individual lamellae and their subsequent replacement can solve the problem of the old soil at the stage of preparing the laminate structure.

Luckily the floor was well maintained and had no serious problems
The resulting spaces are filled:

•     Chipboard
•     Wooden boards made of moisture-resistant wood (charm, oak, larch, etc.)
•     Multi-layer plywood.

New elements must be selected with maximum dimensional accuracy to prevent air from entering cavities. Otherwise, moisture and a steady stream of air create favorable conditions for mold growth under the laminate base, not for moisture resistant materials.

The replaceable panels on the floor are fixed with nails or with waterproof adhesive for concrete base. The last step is the mastic of the remaining gaps.



Replacing problematic fins in the old floor: a necessary step to create a solid laminate base

After replacing damaged or damaged floors another problem of the old soil remains unresolved: the cry. The cause is micro-cracks in the tables and the increasing distance between them. The solution could be to push a round wooden tip, which has been carefully glued between the boards, or to screw in a galvanized steel defense during the subsequent cutting of the head.

At this point, no installation elements need to be saved to permanently scratch the problem and maximize the life of the new coating: the laminate.

Lamination can reduce deficiencies

The choice of laminate as a finishing material for the finished parquet is no coincidence. The material plate is a multi-layered plate that imitates natural wood species. Visually, a floor of this kind hardly differs from the floor, it is low maintenance, requires a minimum of maintenance, is decades old and what is important is not as expensive as the floor. If you prefer, you can choose a laminate in the old parquet (video instructions simplify the installation task), imitating not just wood, but marble, brick, granite and even leather.

An example of applying laminate to a cork substrate.

The amount of material for the substrate is calculated taking into account all hard to reach areas with a surcharge of five percent. It is more convenient to calculate the archive material of the packaged substrate in special rolls.

To calculate the required amount of laminate, the area of ​​the workpiece is measured and 15% added to the number obtained for trimming. The most economical variant is the classical variant of the arrangement in parallel rows. The diagonal installation of panels requires a higher and therefore expensive material consumption.

Installation must be done correctly

If you follow a few simple guidelines, applying the laminate to the floor can be done independently. This is true even if the work has been done by professionals. The algorithm is simple:

• Preparation of the surface. The old laminate is repaired in areas that require intervention, testing and polishing. The surface must be smooth, with no cracks or height differences.
• Substrate of the device. An additional intermediate layer between laminate and parquet extends the life of the material and improves the thermal and acoustic insulation properties of the floor.
• The boards are held by the locking system.
• Position the siding so that the light falls parallel to the seams for a solid effect.
• The first strips are placed at a distance of 2-3 cm from the wall to prevent deformation of the floor during operation.
•     Place the boards with grooves in the wall, the remaining part is cut with a chainsaw.
•     The next row is placed in the same place as the previous one in a checkerboard pattern, avoiding cross connections and excess material.
•     Secure the locks between the rows by inserting the protruding part of the rail into the groove of the next one. Reinforce the resistance of the connection with adhesive. It is inserted into the cavity of the slot until the latch engages.

To summarize, it is not difficult to place the laminate in the old parquet floor with your own hands when the users take the time to study the features and process steps, to choose the tools and the necessary equipment. to fulfill the requirements. quality requirements

If you install the floor according to the instructions with the right tools, this should not be a problem.
Lay the laminate on the old floor.

Repair is problematic. Especially if this applies to second homes. The difficulties of a beginner are not only related to the wallpaper and the selection of new curtains, but also to more serious issues. Therefore, many people affected by repairs have raised the question of whether it is possible to put a laminate in an old wooden floor.

The soil condition must be adjusted in the installation

Experts for repair secrets try not to breathe new life into the old apartment. This is because he has to pay twice in the end. Although they were responsible for the manufacture of parquet floors in the Soviet era, laminate is the best option for those who want to preserve parquet floors.

Therefore, the question that will arise is quite natural: Can the laminate be placed in the old parquet? The answer is positive. It is necessary to know some subtleties of this process to avoid disappointment about the results of the work. By the way, all the work can be done independently with some experience.

Parquet floors have a disadvantage

Parquet is a floor made of solid wood panels stacked upwards.

Parquet respects the environment and natural safety, but also has disadvantages. Below are:

•  High costs;
•  Large mass of product, impractical for transportation;
•  The need for a constant quality care;
•  The presence of low elasticity on the polished wood surface treated with a varnish for various mechanical purposes;
•     The sensitivity of the parquet to excessive moisture results in remarkable joints between the planks.

Excellent replacement for parquet, called "laminate". It perfectly matches the rhythm of modern life. It's easy to say. In addition, the laminate covers many of the disadvantages of parquet.

In addition, removing the old coating not only takes a long time, but also requires longer work to remove it. After that, a soil project has to be prepared to apply a new material. And that again costs time and mental strength. The best option would be to place the laminate in the existing old parquet. The latter is an excellent basis for a new genre. It is important to remember the main condition: the uniformity of the genital surface.

Placement of parquet on the floor can be done in various ways

Despite the many advantages, laying the laminate in old parquet has some disadvantages. This must be taken into account in the soil repair. The disadvantages of this repair are:

•     The appearance of unresolved defects: squeaky, limp;
•     Deterioration of the condition of the new soil with poor inspection of the old material;
•     The appearance of holes with misalignment of the old coating.

All the disadvantages of parquet with inadequate diagnosis and dissolution are transferred to the laminate. First, a responsible approach is needed to prepare the basis for a new coating.

Many benefits from using laminates from old parquet

The placement of the laminate only works if all color shades are taken into account. They refer both to the collection of dishes and to the preparation of foundations. Therefore, the process of laying the laminate in the previous coating has many advantages. These advantages include:

    It is not necessary to completely repair the floor. The replacement of the material capital is not only associated with time and equipment costs, but also with a large amount of dust, whose presence necessarily accompanies the whole process. At the same time, the disposal and disposal of the waste generated must be considered in advance. All this can be avoided if you leave the old parquet floor.

• Significant reduction in soil repair time. The dismantling of the old coating does not take place in one day. After all, not only must the old tables be deleted, but all other steps of the process must be considered as well.
• Downsizing ground inspection is a labor-intensive job that involves a series of jobs. If you lay laminate on the floor, you can reduce this list.
• Considerable material savings as the base does not need to be prepared for a new material.
• Extra acoustic and thermal insulation thanks to old parquet.

Before doing so, you should, in particular without experience, consult a specialist who will help you to install the laminate correctly. If you do not want to fix yourself, you should trust the pros. This not only keeps your nerves and wallet in order, but also saves time. Because the repair does not tolerate excessive initiative.

• Placement versatility: a headboard without wooden bed can project along the wall length and width.

The headboard without beds differ not only in appearance, but also by their appearance. There are several options for this piece:

Often used in hotels

•  Box deaf - often found in hotels and hostels. This is a frame with side, keep the mattress covered with a cloth;
•  The spring housing is a box spring or spring arrangement, it can be used with or without a mattress;
• A bed with an orthopedic net: LDSP bed is a natural wave;

The right selection will add to the beauty of the room

Before buying a headboard without a bed, you should pay attention to the following:

• The size. This factor depends on the size of the room and the number of people sleeping there. A double bed without headboard has a width of 160 cm and a length of 200 cm. Half release are parameters 120 to 190-200cm. More miniature model dimensions of 80 by 120 cm.
• Equipment Highest quality and certainly beautiful bed is wood. But the price of these products is much higher than particleboard, MDF. Also, the beds can be made of metal. The cost of the latter is also quite high. The chipboard and MDF are the most suitable in terms of price / performance ratio.

• Tree. Old doors, boards, shutters, wood products that have become useless for some reason. Age is back in fashion, especially when you combine it with Provencal interior, Chebbi chic and Country.

The summary can be seen here

Now the soil is gaining popularity as a soil type. The parquet floor occupies a leading position thanks to its functionality, reliability and longevity. When, a few decades ago, such a dwelling was regarded as a luxury and reminiscent of the wealth of its owners, it is now everywhere in large country houses and small ordinary dwellings. As a result of the operation, he loses his call. Scratches, cracks can occur inside, it can crack, it can swell when wet cleaning, a separate band can be solved.

Material prepared to replace a damaged parquet

There are two types of partial repairs on this floor:

• Surface;
• Repair individual cubes.
• The first type includes: the removal of cracks, potholes and splinters, the restoration or color change of the plate.

Do not hold the restoration of the floor firmly for a long time. If your parquet is deteriorated, it does not shine due to the amount of scratches on the surface, if it creates an unpleasant crack under your feet, if so. At this time, the surface is swollen or detached when several rods fall from their seats are. The sooner the repair process starts, the less it will be quick and profitable. A set of materials for the restoration of parquet. For the planned elimination of errors you need special equipment and tools that you can purchase in a hardware store.

Also, be careful not to scratch the fresh polish with soft soles. Required materials: new tools to replace damaged floors;

• Glue and putty for wood;
• Oil,Spot,
• Painting and varnishing

Prepare to isolate the problematic part

They are now ready to repair the wooden floor. Restoration of the parquet without scratching. It belongs to the category of surface repair and is realized in several steps. We remove the base and the powder, they will disturb. With a grinding machine we remove the previous paint layer. Use the manual cycle in hard-to-reach areas. Use a special hairdryer in the absence of a car. Warm the paint surface and clean it with a spatula.

After preparation, clean the room dust and dust with a vacuum cleaner.
Check the surface and, if necessary, the putty in separate areas. Then go through the grinder a second time, but with a coarse graining accessory to remove rough spots. Vacuum. Do not leave dust behind. Now shape the plan with the first coat of paint. Apply with a roller or a wide brush, allow to dry. The fine sandpaper installed in the nozzle mill abrades the surface, removes the dust and makes the second layer of paint. Lacquer of restored parquet It is important to apply a varnish to the fibers on the parquet. The last layer of dry polish for at least three days. Inside, close all doors and windows, avoid drafts and do not allow dust to fall onto the freshly painted surface.

Parts that are scratched or cracked

If there is a pet in the house, scratches will appear on the surface of your pet's claws. With a little scratching, they can be removed with a wax stick that clogs the micro cracks. This is a cost-effective recovery option that requires little time and effort. For example, when there are deep scratches or deep cracks on the floor, they move furniture without upholstery on the feet. You can not do this without cleaning the paint. Clean it as described above and remove a thin layer of wood with a manual or automatic cycle.

It is difficult for an inexperienced beginner to achieve an excellent result. Be prepared to repeat the tweeted procedure several times. Then carefully remove the dust residues in the room, the floor and the putty and cover them with a coat of varnish. Repeat the process several times until it is completely smooth.

On parquet floors this problem often occurs

Although the parquet floor is made of hardwood, it is not immune to significant damage. In this case, the actions are the same to eliminate scratches. They dust with dust after cycling. Paint the defects with a broad spatula. Try to maintain the movement in the direction of the wood fibers. Since the filling mixture consists of wood dust, chips and treated potholes do not occur in the general context.

This condition of parquet must be cut to follow the condition of the floor

The spaces between the matrices appear due to the ability of the wood to absorb and tear water when the room air is dry. The solution to this problem is simple. It is also necessary to remove the protective layer. Suck up each crack carefully and clean the trash with a knife. The open and clean grooves cover a filling solution with wood dust. Then it also restores the lacquer layer in several layers.

Dirt must be cleaned before installing parquet

An unpleasant sound floor is released for three reasons. First, the bars that were released from time to time, second, the wedges that were pressed between wall and floor, and thirdly, they seemed to be empty under the boards. By removing it is not necessary to remove the paint and scratch the plane.

The floors are laid out on a plywood sheet or ruler. Over time, they collapse and errors occur. At this point, the ground begins to crack. You can easily fix the defect. It defines a plate from which the crunch is distributed. Drill a hole and pump the cement or glue with a large syringe. When working with cement mortar you should consider fast curing, so do everything carefully and quickly. When the mixture stops pumping and appears on the surface, complete the procedure and press the zone. Remove the weighting agent and spatula from the drilling site after two days. What if the crisis is very well located? Then you have to repeat the entire surface. Not only does this remove the protective layer, it also completely rewrites the floor.

Damage like this parquet must be replaced

The biggest discomfort can be considered when the panels are illuminated. This suggests that the rods were bloated when the placement technology was breached or water sank beneath the tree. If you hit the bottom of the shield, you can not do without a complete restriction.

When small areas are swollen by moisture, we heat the floor surface. After a certain characteristic smell of chemicals has occurred, the treated area is stressed. Its weight should be 12 kg per square meter or less. After 24 hours, we check whether the roughness has decreased, and carry out the process again. If the equipment was damaged when laying the floor, the space between the floor and the wall was not considered. Dry each stone under natural conditions and then bend the ground.

Carefully repaired parquet frames

 When restoring parquet floors, it is often noticeable that some bars are no longer held in position. In this case, old tapes need to be replaced, and additional restoration work is required throughout the plan. The procedure will be like this

The procedure will be as follows:

• We eliminate the paint to be found and need to be repaired.
• If the distance between the two bars is more than half a centimeter, it must be replaced
• Small slits, pour the glue on it, hang up the weight and let it act for several hours.
• If the rods are replaced with a hammer and chisel, gently remove them by dividing them in the middle.
• The remaining wood glue is cleaned with a small spatula. Adjust the size of the replacement bar.
• Lubricate the clean surface with glue. Position the bar so that its grooves align with the tilting slots and press firmly.
• After 7 days under the weighting means, the entire floor is covered with putty, polished and treated with varnish as in the other examples.

Many equipment available on the market for parquet

 At the end I would like to tell you how to get rid of the vital activities of young children. You can often see a nuisance like chewing gum in a fresh tree. The solvent helps, but the stains remain. Use an ordinary ice cube. If you hold it on modeling clay and freeze, you can easily remove the "decoration" from the parquet surface without damaging it.

The flawless parquet floor is very pleasant

So that the floor is always in perfect condition and does not need to be restored, just follow the simple operating rules. Three phenomena can damage a wooden floor: ultraviolet, a considerable moisture or absence, sand. Moisture plays an important role in the sustainability of the board. If the room is too wet or the floor is often washed, the table will swell with time. In addition, under the base can develop a mold that is already hazardous to health. Dry air dries dishes and releases them. Under the action of the ultraviolet tree, it changes color, becoming dark and ugly. The sand ruthlessly scrapes a smooth floor.



Therefore, it is recommended that the room is in slippers and does not walk on street shoes. It is advisable to put on a small carpet before entering the room, where you must clean the sole at each entrance. Window blinds prevent the floor from becoming darker. And wash the floor with a damp cloth only, at most once a week.

Conclusion

The restoration of the old wooden floor is relevant. Changing the entire floor requires a lot of time and money. Even a novice beginner can restore the ground with his own hands while having the necessary tools, patience and the most important desire.

Parquet is a classic that goes with all interior design styles, in a townhouse and in a country house. The wood has unique properties of thermal insulation and sound absorption, has a pleasant and warm surface and an excellent appearance. The performance characteristics of different types of wood may differ as well as the color. While some breeds are easily resistant to jumps and falls, others can be damaged by simple heels. These and others, however, are used only in different rooms and under different types of floors. We understand which wood floor is the best and which type is better in one way or another.

Various types of wood for floors are available on the market

This section could be overlooked if many people do not confuse the parquet with the parquet and the floor with the solid wood. In fact, only two types of floors are made of solid wood:

•     Massive plank
•     Parquet.

Both products are solid wood, but the treatment only serves to give the necessary operational or aesthetic qualities. It is a durable natural material.? Choose the wood species and soil type.

The difference between solid wood and parquet is its size: the floor is much smaller. The average size of the parquet slats is 50 x 600 mm, the thickness is 15 to 16 mm and a solid table can be 60 cm to 6 m in length and 7 to 20 in width.



The soil can not be attributed to the coatings of the matrix, since it consists of three layers and only the top consists of expensive solid wood, the rest of cheaper softwood. A parquet plate is a more affordable coating, whose durability is lower than that of a solid plank, which is explained by the least possible polishing, since the precious wood layer is many times thinner.

The choice of wood depends more on the space in which the coating is used, the conditions under which it is found, and the stresses that affect it. In terms of race and soil type, most types of wood are used for parquet and solid wood with few exceptions. The most common wood floors are ash, beech, pine, birch and oak.

Oak wood gives a characteristic of wood

Oak - the best choice for the production of all kinds of road surfaces. This is a reference point for the assessment of other types of wood. Oak is often compared to concrete due to its strength and hardness. The color spectrum of the wood is wide, there are about 200 shades: from light yellow to dark brown with a touch of green and gray. Over time, the oak gets a little darker, which makes it even more luxurious. In the forest, dark circles are clearly visible.

Solid wood and oak parquet can be made with or without lacquer. It all depends on personal preference and interior style: a table without lacquer is an option for the Scandinavian and ecological styles, with Rococo, classic or modern lacquer.

The main advantages of oak:

• High hardness, resistance and durability, abrasion resistance, therefore, oak floors are not only used in living rooms, but also in restaurants, discos, offices and other highly stressed rooms.
• High suitability against fire and moisture, the oak is not rotten and does not spread by fungi. Because of these characteristics, its application has been found in very damp rooms (kitchens, bathrooms and even bathrooms with saunas);
• High sound insulation properties;
• Excellent aesthetic qualities, beautiful natural pattern.

One drawback: the high cost, but the investment pays off because the parquet or oak table can last for decades.
Application: Residential and public spaces, corridors, bathrooms, kitchens, saunas and baths.

Ash wood is one of Oak's competitors

The ash is also made of parquet and solid wood, is used for the production of planks and is also suitable for all applications. In terms of strength, it even avoids the oak and the fact that the baseball bats and the handles of the sports teams stuck in ash speaks for itself. The wood has a clear tone, so it is often used when the room needs to be visually enlarged and heat generated.

• High strength, wear resistance and elasticity. Ashes are used to stop gyms, not to mention business and residential buildings.
• Beautiful appearance;
• Good thermal insulation properties.

At least the high price and the low resistance to low temperatures and extreme temperatures, but for a flat is not a problem.
Application: Residential and business premises, corridor, kitchen, fitness studios.

Siberian larch

Of all conifers, larch is the strongest and most durable. The unique working qualities of wood can be explained by the more difficult growth conditions. Under the constant influence of moisture, larch does not rot, but becomes denser. In terms of strength it is only slightly lower than in oak and in terms of durability it surpasses it. Many monuments of European architecture with a hundred-year history still have larch soils. In addition, the piles on which Venice was built are made from this breed.

Advantages:

• Worldly sustainability;
• Moisture resistance, mold resistance due to its unique antiseptic properties. With larch wood,  bunk beds, terraces, bathrooms, bathrooms are organized.
• Hardness and wear resistance allow the use of larch in restaurants, shops and gymnasiums;    has more than 10 different nuances, maintains color and texture perfectly and does not darken

Larch, more expensive, is worth it, but its performance is not comparable. If we consider durability and resistance to almost all negative factors, larch can be considered as a very profitable investment. It is only important to choose the treated wood correctly, otherwise you will lose a significant part of your natural properties. You can trust the products of the company "Lesinter" on the site Specializing in the production of Siberian larch wood, the manufacturer has its own resources, state-of-the-art equipment and products not only in Russia, but also in the United States, Japan and Western Europe. The company's product range includes solid parquet and larch flooring as well as terraces, planks, linings, bunkers and other products. All products comply with European quality standards.

Softwood

Pine, spruce and fir wood has gained popularity due to its low cost. If the funds allow, it's better to stop at other races. Softwood is used in areas where it is not common to wear shoes. It produces a massive slab and parquet (it is important that the elements have a grooved connection), and it is also used to make different layers of the board.

The properties of softwood are far from ideal, so its use is very limited:



The pine is characterized by the presence of a large amount of resin, which protects the wood against rot, has an excellent appearance, a high vapor permeability, phytomedes in the air and a natural antiseptic. The main disadvantage is the low hardness, so that more or less heavy furniture legs can have traces. It may be used in bedrooms and living rooms;

Spruce is even less durable than pine and is therefore rarely used for flooring.
The tree is cheap, looks good, has healing properties, does not give off tar, and does not "cry" at high temperatures, but it fears moisture and has little resistance. The use of fir as soil material is not recommended.

Alder

Alder is not much worse for the oak in terms of strength and durability, it has healing properties.

Advantages:

•         Resistance to deformation;
•         The tannins contained in the wood have a positive effect on the inner micro climate.
•         Sufficient moisture resistance.

Application: bedroom, living room, children, bathroom.

Wood is not only for floors but also for walls and ceilings

Popular wood is little used and is mainly due to superstition. However, if you include common sense, you will find many positive qualities. It is the ability to release nutrients into the air and resist moisture, so massive poplar boards are often used to organize certain areas of the bathroom.

Cedar

Most of the cedar wood is exported. So it's hard to get and expensive. Cedar is valued for its many benefits:

• Resistance to high temperatures and humidity, thanks to the special fiber structure of the wood;
• High content of essential oils in the wood;
• High strength and durability.

Scope: Houses, kitchens, baths, saunas, baths.

Exotic wood floor

In general, the wood of exotic trees has excellent utility characteristics, a unique pattern and a unique color, but is also expensive. If the money allows and you want an unusual interior design, you can opt for one of the many exotic breeds:

    Merbau is the most popular breed among all the exotics of our country. It resembles oak for its resistance and resistance to high humidity. Special feature - appearance. The wood has a complex pattern and a color from orange to almost brown, the color changes with time.

Zebrano: A tree with very strong wood, dense and easy to transform, which is very popular because of its color. He has dark brown stripes on a light background like a zebra. The wood is very expensive and the high demand has led to the disappearance of some tree species;

Rosewood of hardness and density, twice as big as oak, has a color from dark brown to purple;

The tiger got its name due to its specific color, its high strength and density, its moisture resistance and thus its previous use in shipbuilding. It is mainly used for the production of parquet, massive tables are rarely made.

Bamboo does not belong to trees, but is used for the production of parquet and parquet. The manufacturing technology consists in heating the rods, smoothing them and pressing them into special chambers. This is a solid plate with an interesting pattern that is not as expensive as its exotic counterparts, as bamboo grows fast;

Wengewood differs from dark brown to almost black. It is durable, strong, withstands mechanical stress and is resistant to fungi. When the drying technology is broken, the wood starts to crack. You have to be very careful when buying.

The exotic rocks also include Yatoba, Yarra, sucupira, incredibly strong mutations and kempas, as well as moisture- and iroko-resistant ticks, which are resistant to temperature changes. Walnuts, pears, cherries and acacia can be used, but they are rarely used to make floors.

When buying a wooden floor, pay special attention to the geometry and characteristics of the wood surface: the elements must be easily joined together and must not show any cracks, blue or other defects. A manufacturer who keeps his mark on packaging his products in solid cardboard and thermal foil.
