Preparation of the floor for covering linoleum

Linoleum is one of the most convenient, simple and cheap coatings that is used to cover the floor in all utility rooms, kitchen, bathroom, hallway. The modern range of linoleum simply captures. I will not be mistaken if I say that today there are more than a dozen species of linoleums in their structure. And by coloring, style and design, they simply do not list them.

One significant drawback of linoleum is that it refers to cold materials and requires additional insulation from the concrete base. So the preparation of the base of the floor for covering with linoleum begins with a screed, waterproofing and insulation layer. For insulation, modern polyvinyl chloride fibrous materials are used, the bags of which are installed on the waterproofing layer of film, which protect insulation bags from earthly damp. Insulation packages laid on a concrete screed covered with a waterproofing film are covered with another layer of waterproofing film, which will protect the insulation material from surface moisture. All this multi -layer pie is covered with hard material, as a substrate and base under linoleum. As a linoleum substrate material, a wood -fiber plate can be used, which is strengthened to the floor with self -tapping screws with a deepening of several millimeters into a wood plate. Any linoleum can be laid on the foundation created in this way.
