Here we will tell you everything you need to know about the correct type of preparation and laying of each material that we treat; we will also provide you with a brief summary of the pros and cons of bonded laying rather than floating or an installation using decking screws or nailing strips.<\/p>\n
Before installing, you will need to check that the floor on which you wish to base the parquet is dry, solid, and smooth; you then have to\u00a0check the moisture levels<\/strong> and bear in mind that this is one of the most important factors in order not to have any issues in the future: all parquet floors are laid on a screed with relative humidity within limits; this is the only way to avoid any issues caused by being hasty. The parquet will be applied as the last stage<\/strong> after having completed all of the other work, including painting the walls. It is best to leave the material open in the cartons for a few days prior to laying.<\/p>\n Have a detailed look at the checks which need to be carried out<\/a><\/p>\n We recommend using dual-component, or single component polyurethane adhesives, as the important thing is that they are not water-based; you can also use a silanic adhesive for laying a strand woven bamboo floor on a floor heating system. application with adhesive<\/a><\/p>\n installation with adhesive on heating screed<\/a><\/p>\n In this case, the slats are laid on the substrate without any kind of adhesive, after which they can be removed if required. You will always need to put a mat<\/strong> in between the substrate and the parquet to eradicate any noises of the two solid bodies which are in contact with one another. If there is too much moisture (albeit within the limits), then lay a plastic sheet in between the substrate and the mat. Under these circumstances, please also leave a space in between the parquet and the walls<\/strong> or in between any fixed body attached to the ground. With floating laying, the boards cling to one another and then are bashed gently so that they fit into each other. The slats must remain offset by a minimum of 20 cm, and once the installation has been completed, it needs to be cleaned thoroughly and walked on straight away.<\/p>\n floating installation<\/a><\/p>\n On this page, we will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of one type of installation<\/strong> compared to another. Dry floating laying has advantages over an adhesive application and vice versa; here are the advantages and disadvantages<\/a>.<\/p>\n Outdoor bamboo decking can be installed in two ways<\/strong>: either with retractable clips which screw onto the nailing strips or onto the underlying substrate by inserting screws directly onto the plank. In both instances, the laying floor must be solid and healthy; any dashboards should be left in the laying location (indoor) for a few days so that they can adapt to the surroundings; before the laying phase, you should consider that once it has been laid, decking must always have a slight slope to drain any rainwater; the various elements have to be spaced out properly as is specified on the detail page<\/a>, and this also helps to facilitate a sound exchange of air.<\/p>\nLAYING WITH ADHESIVE<\/h2>\n
\nThe parquet is normally laid lengthways in a room and ALWAYS there is need of\u00a0expansion space<\/strong> in between the parquet and any fixed object.
\nThe adhesive which should remain on the surface should be removed while it is still wet, otherwise you will not be able to remove it when it is dry.
\nLaying the boards staggered,\u00a0<\/strong>never with the heads (short side) matching, otherwise the entire structure will have a weaker hold.
\nOnce the laying has been completed, clean it thoroughly and once the adhesive has dried after 24 hours, you can start walking on your new flooring.<\/p>\nFLOATING LAYING<\/h2>\n
