How to choose particle Board ↑

The floor is quite suitable single-layer plate. These sheets have a small thickness, fine polishing and high density. With the value of such material can be called excellent absorbency of paint products.

Important factors when choosing the pressed tiles are the ultimate strength and the level of swelling in water. There are certain criteria which should be followed when buying such products. Since the limit of the tensile strength should be not more than 0.5 MPa, the Flexural – not more than 25 Mega Pascal. Quality material must not swell in water more than 30%.

Also of great importance grade chipboards. For the floor you need to choose the material is only first grade. When choosing a DSP manufacturer is also important.

Extreme beams set at a distance of 250 millimeters from the walls. All of the following – the interval not exceeding 400 mm.

Lags are fixed in one plane. Check with a level gauge and fixed with anchors. Next, put the chipboard sheets. They were distributed so that the junction of plates was happening right on center joists. Attach screws along the perimeter at a distance of not more than 30 centimeters.

Head screws must be below surface of the plate. The joints between the slabs treated with plaster, dried and cleaned with sandpaper. On the thus prepared floor, you can lay laminate, linoleum or hide varnish.

If desired, a concrete floor can be insulated additionally. For this insulation to be inserted into a crate or be put directly on the basis of concrete. This will allow to create not only great insulation but also protection from excessive noise.
