The Contractor will be reasonable prices installation gorgeous maple board, but you agree that you install a floor. Well, now how can you do?
What is the subfloor?
Positioned between the topsheet and the underlying floor base material (e.g. cement). Subfloor meet two requirements: it creates noise pad or shock absorbers, and (where you walk, sit put and placing furniture on the floor) for the top floor provides a stable surface, without damaging the appearance of the main floor.
When considering any type of hard surface floor, subfloor is very important. Carpet can and will issue a low voice; hard floor echo is generated, and can amplify the sound, depending on other factors acoustics. Tile, hardwood or laminate having a silencing effect almost must. The upper layer is solid, expanding or floating, it will affect what type of subfloor use.
Certain types of bare floor needs a solid and stable foundation. Others require a floating basis. The subfloor material type matches the upper layer, to take into account the needs and requirements of adaptation and connection of the base material.
Type of flooring material
The first step in preparing or installing any type of subfloor what kind of material is best for the top floor. For example, for floating laminate, ceramic tile good results may not meet the requirements.
A method for silencing the more common subfloor material is referred gypcrete, it looks like concrete, and applied in much the same manner. Although relatively easy to install, but it does not allow a direct connection or a fixed upper floor. This material was only used for insulation pads, and mounting the other thin floor, the upper layer material can be firmly fixed when needed.
Options include wood flooring or solid wood panels, such as plywood. Known a hard upper floor if your better, and then install the appropriate composite material.
Plastic subfloor ranges from thin plastic sheet to interlock. Plastic is often used in conjunction with tile, and are often used where waterproof.
Unlike gypsum, cement backing is directly screwed into the floor joists or concrete slab, is one of the most stable and robust material subfloor.
Oriented Strand Board is an engineered wood, which can be driven into or driven into the floor joists to form a solid foundation. It can be safely interlocked to create a floating subfloor.
Summary
Use the appropriate sub-flooring to save the new or newly modified hard floor. Before installing any type of flooring, please check the current floor, and with the appropriate materials and structures for repair or replacement of its order to extend the life and value of the dollar.
