Leveling the floor with an OSB board, wood or other materials must be done before laying linoleum or laminate. I will show you how to level a wooden floor with your own hands before laying laminate or linoleum. Wooden floors become completely unusable over time. Cracks appear on them, the boards dry out and the surface may become uneven. In order to give it a beautiful look, it is necessary to carry out repair work.
Regardless of the chosen leveling option, it is necessary to carry out a number of measures that will allow you to obtain the highest quality coating. First of all, you should get rid of the squeaks of the old floor - this is the most irritating factor and must be gotten rid of in any case. To do this, you should take the following steps:
- If possible, replace deformed or cracked boards.
- If local repairs are difficult, the boards should be nailed or screwed to the base joists. Each one separately.
When laying slabs, adjacent rows are installed with an offset of 30 - 40 centimeters or even half the part. This avoids the appearance of cross-shaped joints.
Unlike work on concrete and other hard bases, here it is necessary to lay the sheets not closely, but at a distance of about three millimeters from each other.
A small gap of five to ten millimeters is left near the walls, which is necessary to compensate for temperature deformations of the coating.
The sheets are fastened with screws at a distance of thirty centimeters. You can make this distance smaller by screwing in screws every fifteen centimeters.
The screw heads must be recessed into the surface.
