How to make a wooden floor on the balcony?
Before starting work, you need to clear the debris from the workplace.
- All the slots need to be sealed with mortar or foam.
- Note the location of the logs: from the wall - 5 cm, from each other - 40-50 cm. The distance between the brackets is 50 cm. Draw the line along the elevations. Make a note of where the joint of the plywood will be.
- Set the lag near the wall. The beam is fixed to the concrete base. We fix the brackets with dowel-nails.
- Near the brackets we lay basalt cotton wool 100 mm on the logs.
On the brackets is put a bar and fastened in the joints.
Since the distance to the wall is only 5 cm, on both sides the element can not be fixed, we fix the lag using two pairs of bolt with a nut.
- Now it is necessary to fix the intermediate and transverse lags with the help of screws and corners.
Got:
Fill the space between the lag warmer.
- Further plywood is padded with a gap for expansion at the walls of 5-10 mm. The panels from coniferous wood will be better in operation. In the place where the lag passes, the plywood is fixed with screws.
Doing such wooden floors on the balcony , you get a warm, level surface. Now it can be finished with laminate, linoleum, parquet, carpet.
