Very often, in order to level the old wooden floor or to insulate the concrete cover before laying linoleum, parquet or laminate , make the flooring from the chipboard.
This option of finishing is quite convenient and that it is important that it does not require large material costs. Sheets of particle board perfectly level the surface, while providing additional heat and sound insulation. Thus, the floor of the chipboard in the apartment helps to save a lot of time and money. We will tell you about what this coverage is like.
Floor from chipboard - characteristics
Particleboards are slabs that are made of wood shavings and resins and are amenable to hot flat pressing. Among the advantages of this kind of coating is its economy, because the material is not at all expensive and it is easy to lay it yourself. Usually, the floor is made of particleboard on the balcony, in the rooms of the apartment or a private house. Do not use this material to finish rooms with increased load (office, store, etc.), it will not last long and will start to squeak ahead of time.
Sheets can be laid as on the old wooden plank floor, after removing the creaking of the boards, and on the concrete covering. And in either case everything happens elementary and fast. If you lay, for example, the floor of the chipboard in the apartment, where concrete is poured, then first you need to install logs, which will be subsequently fixed to the chipboard. In this case, you can place between the panels some insulation or shchumoisolator. Then, using self-tapping, floor, for example, the floor of laminated chipboard or from a regular sheet as a basis for finishing.
The disadvantage of this material is its low resistance to moisture. Those. Use a sheet of particle board for example in the bathroom is highly undesirable. Just do not do the flooring from the particleboard on the balcony, which is not glazed. When the precipitation falls on the particle board surface, this will lead to its deformation and destruction. If there are no other options, then before laying, pre-lubricate sheets of linseed oil in three layers, this will ensure the material protection from moisture.
