How to put plywood on the floor?

Paul is the surface that is operated most often, and therefore, the original appearance loses faster. However, not only aesthetic, but also thermal comfort depends on it.

Very often, the floor surface requires alignment, especially in private buildings for more than 30 years. For alignment, plywood sheets are often used very often, which help not only to align the floor, but also warm the house. Installation of plywood sheets is not a time -consuming process, so you can safely install plywood sheets on the floor yourself. For this you will need:

– plywood

– polyethylene

– tools (jigsaw, screwdriver, spatula, grinder or sandpaper)

– Shurups, self -tapping screws, dowels.

– glue, putty, solvent.

First you should find out if there is a problem of gender moisture. This happens in the presence of underground communications or violations of construction equipment. If you do not have special devices for determining humidity, then simply put on the floor a sheet of polyethylene 1m x 1m, strengthening it on the sides of its loads. Leave the center free. If after three days there is no moisture in the center, then we can start the next part of the work.

Make a sheet laying diagram, draw the scheme itself and measure each site. Determine the laying sequence also. It is recommended to lay from the threshold to the walls. If you want to make changes to the work plan, it is advisable to do this at the preparation stage. Sprinkle the sheets depending on the area. The most convenient is the cutting option on sheets 1m x 1 m. With a small distance of the walls from each other, it is advisable to reduce the sheets in half.

Now let’s clean the floors from everything superfluous. Irregularities that are rendered – it is advisable to subject such actions to such actions. But, it is not so important, but can only improve the quality of the repair.

Now let’s get down to the slice. To make a slice take glue and mastic, dilute it with a solvent. Apply the resulting solution along the entire plane of the floor with a layer of at least 2 m.

Now let’s start styling. We lay the sheets from the threshold to the wall, fasten them with self -tapping screws with dowels. Self -tapping screws should be screwed from the center to the edges at a distance of 15 cm – 20 cm from each other. It should be understood that the length of the screw should be at least three times the width of the plywood sheet.

After drying the glue, hide the place of screwing with textured putty, and then walk along the entire surface with a grinder or sandpaper. That’s all, your floor is ready.
