How to lay linoleum in a private home on a wooden floor

The house, which we are gradually making themselves at home in the biggest room had a wooden floor. He did not walk, according to the former owners, the board laid oak. But the gap between them was great, because they are constantly muzzle, so in the winter cold to go without shoes.

The choice of material

From the idea to change the floor completely, we have refused. The room we were building a partition to divide the room in the conventional kitchen and living room. Breaking it would not. So we decided to leave the old floor as rough. As finishing chosen among the three materials:

· Linoleum;

· Laminate;

· wooden plank.

Wooden floor to do for a long time. Laminate laid yourself afraid. Therefore we stopped on the linoleum. Its installation requires no special skills or additional equipment.

preparation room

In the house we have moved furniture, so it took at first to make all of the room. First layer - OSB boards. Their advantage is that they do not rot due to impregnation. Large square plates allows room 25 m. lay a few hours.

Stacked tightly one to one, fastened with long screws on wood. Nails are not appropriate for several reasons:

· They are bent by a hammer blow;

· While driving can be bent head, which then would be to spoil the linoleum;

· Over time, they can get out of a little cloth and canvas Hole.

Main Floor

The color coat is selected for a long time. In DIY stores run up my eyes, the texture of modern linoleum is not like the old Soviet. Now he can resemble wood, laminate. We chose the light, under a pine tree. There is a small relief, like the veins of the floorboard. In the part of the room where the kitchen is located, the color is different. This fine grit, which resembles marble.

Width is sized room. The kitchen sheet needed 3x5 m, two pieces of buying for the living room, each 2.5 m wide and 5 m long, since Room square.

Linoleum without additional coatings on the wrong side. We do not need insulation, no neighbors below. Laid directly on the OSB boards. Linoleum lay stranded for long, so I took the necessary form.

But if he was sweaty twisted for a long time, you need to wait a few days and let him straighten. The joint between the webs filled with a special adhesive that melts and simultaneously crosslinks the webs together.

The contour of nailed wooden plinth, which further presses the linoleum. Work is done, all it took only one day.
