The wooden floor has worn out and lost an attractive look? Sadly. It’s time to change it. What if you don’t want to clean the old boards? After all, it will take a lot of time, which in our difficult age is always not enough. There is a way out of this situation. You can put a laminate over the old wooden floor. First we remove all the furniture from the room. Tear off the plinth. If you do this carefully, then after laying the laminate they can be used again.
Then you need to make sure the flatness of the floor. He should not sag and stagger. If there are still such fears, you can put the plywood on top. But when nailed it to the floor, you need to hide nails. They need to be driven so that even the edges of the hat does not stick out anywhere. This is very important for the safety of the laminate.
It is worth remembering that the floor can be smooth, but not even horizontally. Therefore, for the most picky, it is worth taking it away. If the floor is uneven in level, then it is unlikely that it can be fixed without the dismantling of the floor. And this will take a lot of time.
Laminate is good because it is attached grooves. No need to spend money on nails and screws. You can only use glue for greater strength of joints. But this is not necessarily. Start laying from doors. So he will look more advantageous. And so you need to cover the whole room. Then beat the baseboard. He will fasten the entire floor in total around the perimeter of the room.
The laminate looks good and is easy to clean. You can put carpets on it, or you can leave it just like that.
