Expansion and contraction of wood flooring

"The floor of the shop told him to leave 10 mm for the expansion of solid wood flooring on the walls … Now the tables are above the ground." Advise patients of this type often leads to soil problems. Many people are familiar with the workshop of wood floors involves the expansion is the same as laminate flooring. It is sufficient wood flooring 10 mm.

What is a zone of expansion? Why do we need?

Areas of expansionspaces are left around the perimeter of the room, fixed objects such as columns, thresholds, chimneys, plinths and other stationery items guaranteed built the management structure of the house. While wood is used more alive and breathing, always respond to changes in humidity in the environment. The cells of solid wood or will absorb moisture when the humidity is high, or in the presence of water. The expansion takes place, and woodgrows in the absence of a clearer term, all the grain (width) of the card (see below, not everyone feels that way). In contrast, when low humidity levels, moisture evaporates, the withdrawal will be made of solid wood.

When it comes to space, defined as the installation of wooden floors and away from the object fixed. For example, "it is recommended that at least 15 mm expansion of the small area of ​​18 mm and medium to large areas of the base plate or wall, if the new motherboardequipped. "

Wood flooring can react to the presence of moisture. Dry in the winter months, moisture can leave the wood floor causing the floor to contract slightly in size, which can leave small gaps between a wood floor. During the summer months when humidity is higher, the ground expands and the differences disappear. Too much moisture in the soil that will make the wooden planks to cup, or buckle. Almost all problems related to woodplants due to poor installation and soil preparation. That's why it's important when you install wood floors, as you follow the correct installation methods recommended by the manufacturer.

If you are providing a more concrete stand, first check the humidity of the concrete, if the soil has a moisture content above 4%, then wait for the drying of the floor to respond to this level or use a barrier to adequate ' humidity, Sika Primer MB is recommended to ensure that moisture does not enter into his new apartment.

Also note that the concrete slabs require a newminimum of 60 days drying time before covering them with a wooden floor.

All concrete substrates must be dry, smooth, flat, free from structural defects. If the concrete floor is uneven, as recommended Sika latex self leveling compound underground. Concrete must be free of contaminants which consists of paintings, oils, fats, waxes, dirt and carefully (the reason for this is that you need self-leveling compound to stick to the ground). These can be removed or chemicallymechanics and in your local hardware store and sell the cleaner right plan, but not the use of solvent-based strippers under any circumstances. The use of residual solvents can cause problems with flooring adhesive. It 'important to ensure a good bond between the adhesive and concrete and wooden panels.

If you have a wooden floor is necessary to build a base of plywood on the existing floor (we recommend the use of 4 mm, 6 mm and exterior woodscrews every 15 cm along the edges and at intervals of 20 cm in the rest of the card using one inch flathead screws) before installation, this will be given a soft, plans to install the wooden floor.

Step 1 – Safety

As always, switch off the electricity when you work on security. When the camera is off, unscrew and remove the lamp for the setting and the son of the junction box shown. Using a voltmeter to make sure the device is turned off, completely remove the old unit. child separately, to reactivate the circuit, and testing to ensure that the energy flowing. Then turns off.
