Initially, the laminate was laid using a rigid connection of panels with the base using an adhesive base, and even self -tapping screws. However, today many years of experience in laying the laminate allows us to argue that only a “floating” connection using special grooves on the panels themselves is the most reliable. In this case, the laminate has freedom of expansion when heated, and for shrinkage when cooling. In temperature differences, the linear expansion of each panel does not entail a deformation of neighboring elements, so the floors from the laminate are really long.
The basis for laying the laminate can serve almost any floor covering and it does not even have to be dismantled, of course, if there is no particular need, while only two requirements are presented to the base – evenness and strength. The exception is a carpet coating, which is unsuitable as a basis due to the fact that a static charge is capable of accumulating.
High -quality laminate laying is carried out in rows of panels, which are shifted relative to each other by half a day. Such a “chess” location allows you to distribute the load on the floor in the most optimal way.
