Laminate is probably one of the best floor coverings, it is not expensive, beautiful, and natural. But most people don't know how to put it right. But this is not a small saving of money. In this article, you will learn how to properly install laminate flooring, there will be few details, but the main thing will be stated.
Before laying it, you need a flat surface, it can be chipboard, fiberboard, parquet or even a concrete floor, measure their evenness with a level, do not allow bulges and other hills, this will not allow our laminate to be laid flat, it is also better to eliminate the creaking now, because laminate will not fix it. Check the surface for moisture, there may be problems. It won't be bad to lay styrofoam, it will make walking on the floor softer, which is very pleasant, there will be less noise created by the neighbors below, and it can also eliminate some irregularities.
The laminate must be brought in for 1-2 days so that it adapts to the conditions of your room, it must be laid horizontally.
If all the above conditions are met, then we can proceed further.
We will need a jigsaw for sawing off the laminate, which is unlikely to be exactly the right laminate for the room area. Also, a mallet, or a rubber mallet (metal is not in any case, since the laminate can be damaged). Naturally, you will need stationery and desire.
It should be laid perpendicular to the window, we appreciate our interior. The most important thing is to lay out the first line. We connect the first two plates with the ends so that they match well, use a hammer. And so, throughout the entire line. Next comes the second, third, etc., there will be a difficulty with the last one, there you will have to measure and trim the laminate, keep in mind that you need to step back from each edge by a centimeter, this is very important! A clamp is used to connect the last plates. And there will be more difficulties with the heating pipes, there you will also have to use a jigsaw. Don't forget about the proverb that says to measure seven times and cut off just once, it helps very well.
It is necessary to complete all this with baseboards, preferably suitable in color.
At the end of the work, put away the tools, you can leave the laminate trim, you never know where it will come in handy. If everything is good, smooth and beautiful, admire it. Note that if you can do a lot yourself, you will save a lot, and the extra skills will help you a lot in life.
