Choose a floor covering

Flooring is an important component of the complex repair. Today, the most urgent decisions are linoleum, laminate and parquet. Each type of coverage has its advantages and disadvantages, so the choice depends on personal preference and the planned budget.

Laminate flooring - modern and high-quality building material, which allows you to quickly and reliably arrange the floor in commercial premises and in the living room. Laminate board has excellent performance: it is resistant to mechanical deformation, easy to clean, very tolerant of load, if necessary, dismantled and re-installed. If done correctly, the installation of such a floor, not only looks great, but also provides good sound insulation.

According to the intensity of use laminate is divided into two groups: commercial and residential premises. Within each category there is a division in the model with a different degree of wear resistance. To view the range of laminated boards, you can click on the link, a wide range of decor and textures allows you to choose the design for any type of interior.

The design is dominated by the texture of wood or imitation stone, thanks to modern technology the appearance of the floor, made of laminate retains its appeal during the whole period of operation.

The upper level of the laminate is a layer of acrylic or melamine resin, it protects the surface from chips, scratches, mechanical damage, prevents the penetration of moisture inside. The base layer is composed of high-quality particle board, it provides the strength and reliability of the entire structure, namely the thickness of this layer depend insulating properties floor. It also affects the ability of the coating to protect the premises from unnecessary noise.

The bottom layer is the impregnation of the polymer resin, it protects the board from the influence of moisture, it provides little mobility, which compensates for any slight unevenness in the floor.

As laminate flooring has excellent hygienic characteristics: it does not emit harmful substances, fireproof, easy to clean, hypoallergenic, and its surface is perfect for people who care about their health. The material is resistant to rot, is not exposed to mold, it does not emit odors.

                     Sawdust, as a heater

Many people have their own suburban house because of its warming issue is always topical. Particularly acute, this problem arises with the onset of winter. So that winter does not bring disappointment in housing need in the warm worry about home insulation.

So for insulation you can use various thermal insulation, but most are a cheap chips (wood waste).

Sawdust, as a thermal insulator, used everywhere today. But do it right is not so easy as it seems at first glance. Sawdust can find in any wood processing enterprises. Before the introduction of chips, they should not soak scented varnish.

For the preparation of the floor must be removed flooring (when working with the floor) and throw a "naked" walls with insulation walls.

If you just need a floor insulation layer rovnenko sprinkle sawdust height of approximately 5 cm. Even more time consuming insulation walls. In this case, it will be necessary plywood, sawdust and close to a lot of patience to correctly fill chips, because they can sleep out of plywood. But it is best to house warming conduct in full (floor, ceiling, walls) because the insulation of the 1st element will give a huge effect.

Also suitable for this purpose special Akvapanel which consist of reinforced expanded polystyrene.

One of the advantages of this new material is that the panels themselves can be given absolutely any form, and besides, they are not deformed and does not overload the structure of the building.

Another effective way to perform waterproofing the walls - the use of liquid glass.

The layer of material applied to the surface of the wooden wall, giving it elasticity, and in addition having enhanced antiseptic properties.

Apply this composition on the walls of the best in several layers, particular attention is paid to the grouting.

To improve the waterproofing of the walls in the bathroom wooden structure can also use the so-called surface waterproofing.

Waterproofing of ceiling

The bathroom has a wooden house to improve waterproofing properties recommended ceiling.

The device is of the ceiling will help to effectively protect all hardwood floors from moisture.

They may spread under its own weight, forming a flat surface. At the same time they have not observed sedimentation - separation with separation of water up and settling of aggregate. The use of polymeric modifiers provides high durability floor.

In mixtures for screeds as binder used Portland cement and gypsum, but for Exterior - Portland cement or aluminous cement. Experts advise to choose a non-shrink dry mixture. They are rapidly gaining strength and withstand the load to pass within 8-10 hours after application, and on its thermal insulation properties are very close to the wood.

                         Color and pattern
