How to make a primer for wood floor?

First of all, installation floorboards best to start after the completion of all construction and finishing. Remember that in the areas where you lay the floor, it was dry and they are equipped with an efficient ventilation system!

Room temperature should be 18-22oC

Construction of the wooden floor on the wooden beams are relatively simple and do not require special tools. MFP ® building panels arranged on the beams form a rigid, perfectly even and smooth base for future floor, made of any material.

Production of floors start laying on the cleaned and dry reinforced concrete or concrete ceiling vapor barrier film. For this film to effectively isolate the wooden parts from moisture that always accumulates in structures should be taped all connections and facilities Fold foil and tape it to the wall at a height of 3 to 5 cm above the finished floor levels of the future.

In situ wooden beams, called joists, place strips of acoustic insulation made of felt or rubber products. Backing plate MFP ® must be installed to the supporting structure made of joist size 5x6 or 6x6cm.

Joist spacing is dependent on predictable loads and thick plates used MFP ®.

For panels with a thickness of 25 mm joist spacing should be about 90cm, thickness 22 mm about 60 cm, and the thickness of 18 mm about 40 cm. When installing the joist remember to leveling the best patch 2.0 meter

The tolerances may be 1 mm over a distance of 2.0 meter then attach to the top of the joists along the entire length of the joist tape felt to be caused shock attenuation.

The so prepared grill you can mount the wooden base made of wood boards MFP ®. Top make this using a self-drilling wood screws. Place it should be no closer than 8mm from the edge of the plate, spaced not more than 15cm around the perimeter, and the middle at intervals of 30cm, avoid placing screws in the corners of the plates.

Screws adjacent panels should be shifted relative to each other by about 5-6cm. If the plates are not connected to the tongue and groove so that the spacing between the width of 3mm, which then fill with wood glue. The walls leave an expansion gap of 1-1.5 cm.

MFP ® building panels can be mounted perpendicular or parallel to the joists, bearing in mind their mutual offset by half the length of the adjacent edges.

After preparation of the shell, you can begin installing the floor.
