A private house is eternal problems, especially if you build it and make repairs yourself. It is easier to live in apartments, on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is nothing more beautiful and more pleasant than living in your own private house. An integral part of construction or overhaul is to create a high-quality flooring. Let's deal with you today with the topic - how do it yourself to make wooden floors in a private lamb.
Choose a material for a warm floor in a private house
Despite the fact that his own home would like everyone, in practice it turns out that not everyone can easily leave their comfortable apartment, and the main reason for such a reluctance to live in a private house is the need for regular care of the site. Communications and the structure itself, and it is necessary to do it yourself, while in multi-storey houses, communal services are engaged in these affairs. For those who are not afraid of difficulties, and we are going to lay the floors from the tree in a private house from scratch, this article will become truly necessary and cognitive.
The first stage of the process under consideration in any case should be the choice of materials. It is necessary to immediately note that a good owner will never save on such a material, and often the choice falls on a tree. This is not only because the raw material under consideration is not cheap, but also because:
- Wood is an environmentally friendly material, namely the issue of ecology at the moment it is extremely acute. Among other things, the more such materials in your house, the higher the likelihood that all people living in the house will be absolutely healthy.
- Durability is the second, but no less important property of a tree, because I want to take half a time and forever, and not in the flooring every couple of years.
- Mount the tree is very simple, which means that the process of laying the floor covering from this material will go smoothly and without problems.
- Ability to repair. This is also an important factor, because if necessary, replace part of the floor, this can be done quickly, and without resorting to the help of repairmen.
When you intend that the wood is the best option for the floor from the available, you need to choose it correctly. To begin with, we are determined with the tree of wood. If there is such an opportunity, you should draw your attention to ash or oak. Here, we note that the cost of the wood under consideration is not cheap, so have this fact in mind. A good option will also become cedar, pine or fir. Choosing wood Do not forget, as it should be, to inspect the acquired material - it should be smooth and no defects on its surface should be.
Flooring Type
The next stage is the choice of the design of the future floor. In this case, everything will depend on how exactly and for what you will exploit the construction under consideration or room. If this is a cottage, then here it will be enough to put the boarding floor of the single type, because its operation will mostly be carried out in the warm season. If it is a house where you will live, then the insulated version of the flooring is the best option from available. Let's consider all the options for laying outdoor coverage in more detail and start with a single design:
- Such a floor for buildings, which are operated in the warm season, as mentioned earlier.
- To begin with, you will need to make lag laying, such bruses from wood. This will be the guarantor of the strength of the design under consideration.
- In the event that the coating device is on the support type columns, then the beams can be placed at the desired distance from each other, and no lag here will be needed.
- It must be borne in mind that the distance between the lags is influenced by the distance between the lags, which you will put on the floor. If its thickness is not less than 38 mm, then the distance between the bars under the floor should be at least 65 cm. If the board is thinner, then the distance between the lags will be half meter.
- When the lags were laid, it was time for nails to attach the beams to them, and only then the boards are already stacked.
Double insulated floor:
- It is clear that it will have to spend more strength and money to create such an outdoor coating, but the result will be appropriate. In this case, heat loss will be minimal.
- The first lower layer of the floor will be called Chernov. Experts recommend to make it from coniferous trees. In order not to spend too much on this floor, you can use even the wind-type board or a hill.
- When the draft floor is ready. On top of him, the insulation is put in a mandatory strand, which can act as a variety of materials. Often, the insulation becomes clay and sawdust or clamzit. An excellent option in this case will also be polystyrene foam.
- From above on the insulation, a beautiful and durable wooden floor of a quality material is already put.
The following floor option is the floor of concrete. He also has a place to be, and in modern houses today it is not so rarely:
- First you need to mark up. Various tools can be used here, the laser level of which is the most convenient and practical. In this case, the level of the future floor should be at the bottom point of the doorway.
- In order for the markup to be easier to use, in the room, her center, driven nails and stretch the threads to them so that all this is clearer.
- We clean the floor from the garbage, after which we fall asleep the surface of the gravel, it will be the heat shield of our future concrete floor.
- The next layer is sand, and only after that we fill the floor with concrete.
As you might notice, do the floor with your own hands is not too simple, but even a newcomer can cope with this task. The main thing is to know what and how to put, and everything else is the little things.
