6 Steps to install standard laminate flooring

The first step before proceeding with the installation of laminate flooring is to survey the construction site. After that, we will carry out the renovation so that the work meets the conditions to use laminate flooring such as:

In addition, we need to take measures to prevent termites before installing laminate flooring if the building is located in a humid area, with many trees and using wooden furniture.

Tools for installing industrial laminate flooring include: wooden floor boards, wooden floor foam, laminate flooring accessories (wool, braces), stainless steel nails, iron hammers, rubber hammers, spacers, cutters, rulers.

Construction of laminate flooring is required to let the flooring adapt to the temperature and humidity at the construction site for 48 hours before installation. Boards that adapt to the temperature conditions at the construction site will limit future expansion. Please note, the floorboard adapts to the best temperature when the box is opened.

The laminate flooring brace is divided into 2 parts, the splint cover and the brace base. The base of the brace is fixed to the surface of the building by nails. We usually attach the base at the point where the floor needs to be finished such as: the door (using the T brace), interior storage area (use the F . brace), right angle area (Use V brace).

Construction of industrial wood flooring is indispensable for the presence of sponge lining. Foam floor panels are usually PE Foam, silver foam or young rubber. They are useful for:

• Protect the floor from harmful agents originating from the foundation below.
• Support the floorboards smoothly and prevent making noise when moving.
• Protect the lock from breaking when the laminate flooring is impacted by external forces.

Laminate flooring is now assembled with lock system Also known as negative-positive coupling. We will attach the negative joint to the positive joint of the board and repeat the operation continuously until a complete floor is completed.

Note:

• Installing the first wooden plank is extremely important. The first board will shape the next assembled boards. We will install the wooden floor in the direction of the light entering the room so that the floor has a beautiful effect.
• Construction of laminate flooring must leave a gap for the floor to expand. The distance between the floor and the wall will be about 10 - 15mm.
• We use a rubber hammer to lightly tap the edge of the board to increase the tightness of the lock. You can still use a high hardness accessory such as an iron hammer to perform this operation, provided that additional padding is used. The spacer will ensure that the edge of the board is not damaged.

We will proceed to install the brace cover onto the brace base to fix the floor and install wool at the base of the wall to cover the gap. The process of attaching the splint cover to the splint base is extremely simple. You just need to use a rubber hammer to lightly tap the cover tightly onto the base and you're done.
