Laminate flooring on wooden floor

To laminate a laminate on a wooden floor is a rational solution, since the system is made of chipboard or MDF panels. This coating is durable, installation is extremely simple. Stacking is not recommended in rooms with high humidity.

Preparing the wooden floor under the laminate

If the wood floor is rotten, you need to replace the bearing logs and re-lay the boards or plywood at 15 mm. Let's start laying plywood:

1. We start with the measurements of the room and trim the plywood to the required dimensions. Electric jigsaws will do a great job.
2. The work surface must be clean.
3. Roll out the substrate (insulation), fix it.
4. The next step is laying the plywood with its fastening with the help of screws and perforator.

Now you can start finishing the floor.

How to put a laminate on a wooden floor?

For laminate flooring on a wooden floor, you will need a substrate, laminate itself, spacer wedges, tape measure, hammer, punch bar, clamp, electric jigsaw.

The substrate serves as a kind of cushioning for the seams and the entire coating as a whole. With its laying and the installation of laminate.

1. Roll out the roll and cut according to the size of the room.
2. If the laminate has a 4-way lock, the boards are connected in the end part in rows at an angle of 45 degrees. The wall has a gap where the wedges are placed. Thus, the canvas will not move close to the wall.
3. Approaching the opposite wall, you need to measure the length you need. To do this, turn the board over, make a mark with a triangle and cut it.

The remainder will serve as the beginning of the next series, provided that it is not less than 30 cm.

4. All ranks are collected similarly.

Periodically tap the locks with a paddle and a hammer.

5. The last row is cut in such a way that there is a gap of 3-5 mm near the wall. For better fixing of the seams, a metal brace is required.
6. All is ready!

It remains to remove the spacer wedges and close the gaps with plinths.

Laying the laminate on the wooden floor is not with the lock, but slamming, the assembly is not in rows, but one by one, and then slammed.
