3 reasons why laminate floors creak
Creaking wooden floors often come from many different factors. Below are 3 common causes.
Do not use specialized pads
Foam backing plays an extremely important role in the wooden floor installation process. In addition to soundproofing, heat insulation, and reducing impact force on the floor, this pad also has the effect of creating a flat surface, helping to minimize bumps and noise when walking.
Uneven floor surface
There are two main factors that cause uneven floor surfaces that you need to consider.
- 1nd: The floor is not cleaned thoroughly, leaving excess items such as gravel, stones, etc. on the floor, leading to a rough surface when working. industrial wood flooring.
- 2nd: Sloping floors and uneven floor surfaces are also common causes.
Construction error
This error is often caused by the construction team installing it incorrectly, causing the joints to not overlap, leading to a lack of connection between the panels. In addition, construction without an unreasonable gap between the floor and the base of the wall is also a problem, causing the floor to have no space to expand. This can lead to the floor heaving and making unpleasant noises when in use.
In addition, another reason is that the lock wort is not covered with candle wax, this layer has the function of limiting water penetration into the wood core and limiting collisions between the wort veins.
How to effectively fix squeaky wooden floors
To fix the problem of creaking wooden floors in the most effective and thorough way, you need to replace the floor covering with a new one. wooden floor foam, especially those with good soundproofing and load-bearing functions, can help reduce noise from the floor. Some types of highly rated pads include rubber sheets, white foam, silver foam, etc.
Along with that, check whether the floorboards and baseboards have gaps. If not, the floorboard cutting should be done so that there is a gap between the base of the wall and the floorboards.
For wooden floors 8mm thick, it is necessary to leave a distance of 8mm between the floor and the wall.
For wooden floors 12mm thick, it is necessary to leave a distance of 12mm between the floor and the wall.
This gives them enough space to expand. Then, applying candle wax or oil to the joints between the boards can help reduce friction when moving, which minimizes unpleasant squeaks in laminate floors.
