How to lay a laminate with your own hands.

Before proceeding directly to laying the laminate, it is necessary to ensure reliable isolation from water and steam. A polyethylene film can serve as isolation.

After reliable isolation from moisture is ensured, it is necessary to spread the substrate on which the laminate will be laid. It serves to compensate for the irregularities of the floor and to ensure comfortable operation of the coating.

First, the main or, as it is also called, the first row is formed. The panels must be reliably connected to the locks that are located on the ends.

It is very important that the next row is connected to the previous one after the full assembly of the row and only on the longitudinal side. Therefore, do not rush, and if you need to buy furniture in Izhevsk, it is better to go to the shopping complex, and only then finish the styling.

It is necessary to provide the so -called deformation gaps. They should be more than 10 millimeters from the edge of the wall. To ensure the correct gap, you can use special plugs that can be removed after installation.

After the formation of the initial row, you can proceed to the second. Its elements are connected by transverse sides.

First they collect the row entirely, and then attach to the first.

All elements are inserted into the locks at an angle and snap along the entire length.

The subsequent rows are formed from a piece of board, which remained after the installation of the previous row.

It happens that the last row has to be trimmed to comply with the deformation gap.

Deformation gap is observed not only from the edge of the wall, but also from all the elements that come from it.
