Despite the impressive list of advantages, wooden coating over time requires repair work. Cracks may appear, the boards begin to fuse and deform. Of course, this happens not in a year, and not after two. But sooner or later it will have to be resolved as to align the coverage.
In particular, if planned. Such a finishing layer requires a smooth base, which can be achieved in several ways. All this we will look at below.
What is needed to level the floor?
Many are interested in the question not about how to align the wooden floor, but why it is necessary. We hurry to assure you that it is an extremely important stage of laying a new coating, which also extends the life of the main floor. All cracks, irregularities, deformations negatively affect the general form and on the finish coating. It does not matter, there will be a carpet or ceramic tile. Troubles in any case can not be avoided. For example, the linoleum in the places of curvature of the flooring moves and crawls, and the laminate will immediately begin to creak and joints, respectively, will not be safely held together.
Floor alignment methods.
So, if you do not know how to align the wooden floor of the laminate, then it is worth learn the main methods that are actively used today. It is worth noting that the selection depends on the initial state of the base.
- Cycle;
- Self-leveling mixtures;
- Floor putty;
- Laying plywood sheets.
In order to understand how to align the wooden floor under the tile, and in what cases each variant uses, we will look at all methods separately.
Cycle.
It can be said that this is the most time-consuming method of alignment, but it is both the most effective at the same time. It is suitable if the new coating is not planned, and the design is limited to varnishing or painting the renewed floor.
There are two methods of cyclics, running manual and mechanical method. In the first case, a manual cyclicevant is used, and in the second - a cyclum machine. The manual method is already outdated and does not justify labor and time costs at all, so we consider the mechanical method.
Tools for work:
The most important thing is to take care of your own health, the poet must acquire such things:
- respirator who will protect your lungs from dust;
- headphones, which isolate you from noise (and very high level);
- gloves or dense mittens required to reduce vibration from the device.
Preparation of the room:
Be sure to endure all the furniture, curtains, paintings. Thus, you will save things from fine dust. Shelves can be covered with a film, fixing the edge of the scotch. The doorway is covered with a film, and the windows on the contrary - open so that the dust is weathered.
Preparation of coating:
If the floorboards are in good condition, the partial replacement will not need. In this case, carefully inspect the floor. If the caps of nails or self-tapping screws are on the surface, it is necessary to drown them into the floor to a sufficiently large depth. Without making it, you will inevitably damage the equipment.
Cyclical floor:
We start working from the corner, moving around the room "Snake". We use a ribbon with a rough grain. So we remove the first layer.
The manual cyclicer is still useful to you for the processing of the floor in hard-to-reach places at the walls. At the end of the work it is necessary to spend pressure, but you have a little bit with it, giving dust to settle. Before varnishing or painting the floor is wiping with a cloth moistened with White Spirit.
Self-leveling mixtures:
If you are looking for a way to align the wooden floor under the laminate, then the previous option will not suit you. In this case, the work will be more laborious, but you will receive a proper base for the finishing coating. It is worth noting that this method is suitable for further laying tiles.
Consider a Read more floor alignment process.
Preparation of the foundation.
All spring elements make fixed, for which we use self-tapping screws or screws.
Hats, like when cycle, deepen into the floor.
The base is thoroughly grinding, cleaning paint, dirt, varnish from residues.
All obvious gaps and emptiness are filled with acrylic putty or the same mixture, but in a more thick consistency.
After drying the composition, the floor is grounded into several layers of moisture-proof primer, which ensures reliable adhesion of the mixture with the base.
The walls create seam made of polystyrene foam, after which it is possible to determine the floor level.
Pouring the mixture.
Before starting the fill of the mixture, on the base of the stapler secure the reinforcing grid. All joints are connected to about 5 cm.
Prepare the mixture according to the instructions, stirring it with a drill with a nozzle. Leave the solution for 10-15 minutes and mix again. Now you can start direct laying.
Pour the mixture with parts, moving the roller over the entire surface.
Using a spatula, rule or rubber mop distributing a coating mixture.
Drying solution is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Several tips:
Observe all the rules indicated on the package of the mixture. Specified thermal mode should be maintained throughout the entire period of laying the solution and drying it.
Be careful, preparing the mixture. Excess water can provoke a bundle when drying the coating, and the disadvantage is too fast drying and the impossibility of uniform distribution.
If it is planned to raise the floor level, the fill is carried out in two navigation. That is, it is undesirable to immediately lay a thick layer.
Floor powder.
This option is not particularly suitable if you decide how to align the wooden floor under the tile. But for linoleum or carpet is the perfect way.
Poplexic mixtures based on sawdust and PVA are enjoyed. With their help, you can align the wooden coating of a fairly large area. At the same time, the cost of materials is low, and this makes repairs and cost-effective.
Procedure:
- on the purified coating in the level of beacon rails are stuffed;
- the space between them is filled with a mixture, consistency "thick sour cream";
- so that the sawdresses did not stretch water from the glue, it is advisable to moisten them in advance, and after a little squeeze;
- if a thick layer of putty is required, then form a coating with layers 1-2 cm. In this case, each subsequent layer is applied after drying the previous one;
- the result is verifying the level, and if necessary, the irregularities fill in the same mixture.
Laying plywood sheets
This is one of the most popular ways to correct the irregularities of the wooden floor. But at first it is necessary to resolve the question of how to align the wooden floor under Phane.
Everything is quite simple here. Damaged floorboards are screwed to the base or lags. If the deformation is too large, then such boards are replaced with new ones.
Next, it is necessary to install beacons - self-tapping screws, which are screwed at a certain height of 20-30 cm squares. At the same time, the thickness of the plywood, the less lighthouses are installed. After that, we put lags in the form of plywood strips and fix them with the help of screws.
Preparation of plywood sheets:
It is advisable to preserve the pre-cut sheets for squares with a side of 60cm. It is worth noting that before purchasing sheets, it is desirable to inspect them. If the stratification is revealed on the ends of the blanks, then such a material is not suitable for work. When the defect is detected at the installation site, the sheets are replaced with new ones.
Laying plywood sheets:
Finished squares set on the lag formed mesh, given the location of the jacks of plywood, as they should have to go to the lags. It is extremely desirable to be brickwork with a displacement of sheets, which is necessary to eliminate the intersection of four seams. Each plywood leaf is fixed with a concealable hat.
If you store the joints of the joint in advance, then during installation will significantly save strength and time.
With this alignment, you can get a smooth draft floor, which is suitable for further laying of any finish coating.
Adhering to clear rules, you will not have a question of how to align the wooden floor or how to fix the shortcomings. The whole process is not very complicated, but requires certain labor costs.
Currently, various technologies are used to align wooden floors.
What ways can you fix the surface of the militant floor?
| Alignment method | Brief description of technology |
|---|---|
| Used as a base for finishing floor coatings. With small irregularities, work can be done within one working day. If the difference in height is significant, then the repair time increases, additional special designs are required for alignment. |
| It is used in the case of natural boobing of boards due to violation of flooring technology. Allows you to fully restore the initial type of boards, does not require the finish coating. |
| It can be performed without removing boards, makes it possible to align the floor as for the subsequent flooring with plates and for grinding and restoring the surface of the boards. |
| The most complex process is applied in the case of significant damage to the boards and lag. |
oSP Plate.
Alignment of wooden floors with the help of plates in the future involves the use of various finish coatings. And this is not only additional financial costs, but also time loss. In addition, after alignment, instead of floors from natural boards in apartments appear coatings of artificial materials.
Why the floor becomes uneven
During operation, all errors allowed during laying are manifested.
- Incorrect lags. During the flooring floor, the extreme lags are established, the rope is tensioning between them, which is stacked all the others. If extreme lags are not in the same plane, the floor will have a slope.
- The distance between the lags and their dimensions do not correspond to the actual loads. During operation, the most loaded places begged, the deformation becomes irreversible, large in the size of the deflection appears on the plane.
- During flooring, very wet or very dry boards were used. During the increase in humidity, the floor is swept in places, during drying the boards, large gaps appear between them.
- Insufficient efficiency of natural ventilation or incorrectly made waterproofing. In such conditions, lumber is affected by rot, lose their initial bearing abilities, the surface of the floor begins. The most unpleasant situation - to eliminate the problems, it is necessary to fully change the sexual coating.
In all the cases described, floor alignment is needed, but before the start of work, it is necessary to determine the reason for the emergence of irregularities and their nature, these knowledge will help when choosing the right methods.
Determination of the size and nature of floor irregularities
The choice of leveling technology has a great influence of the actual state of the wooden floor. We have already mentioned that rotten boards or lags must be changed, in this case we are not talking about alignment, but on the replacement of the floor. The curvature of floors must be determined by three parameters.
- Horizontal. To check it is better to use a laser level if it is not, it is also suitable for water, as a last resort, deviations can be checked by an ordinary bubble. Install the laser level beam horizontally at a distance of about 10-15 cm from the floor level. With the help of an ordinary wooden line or roulette, measure the distance from the floor plane to the laser beam. Do so on the perimeter of the room and in several places in the center. If the slope of the floor is more centimeter, it can be aligned only with additional lags or special stops. It is long and difficult.
- By defaults. Put the long rule to the floor in several places, the deflection are detected on the lumen. They can only be in several metals of the room, below we will talk about a possible version of eliminating such problems without separating the boards and without the use of sheets.
- According to the curvature of the surfaces of the boards. If there are too wet boards during the floor covering, then after drying, they will definitely be bent. Prefix the rule or level and the lumen approximately learn the magnitude of the deflection, the alignment method will depend on its value.
Practical advice. During the choice of technology, always choose the one that will save the natural boards. Such floors are considered the highest quality, constantly fashionable and environmentally friendly. Experienced builders recommend covering natural floor with various modern materials only if the restoration of the initial characteristics of the wooden floor for some reason is impossible.
We will look at several options for alignment of wooden floors with the preservation of natural boards and with the restoration of their initial species. Technologies for experienced builders are not large difficulties, but require a certain skill and set of special tools. Options for completely dismantling boards for alignment or replacement will not be considered, this is an extreme case, it must be applied in exceptional situations.
Lag alignment
The method can be used when irregularities appeared due to the sedimentation of fragile or installed in a large distance lag. At the same time, they are made of racks with a thickness of no more than 5 cm laid on a solid concrete base. To work, you will need a screwdriver and drill, large screws with a diameter of 8 mm and more, the pen for drilling holes in the tree (the diameter of the drill must correspond to the size of the screws of the screws) and the level. Lags and boards should be in a normal state without signs of rotary damage.
Step 1. Find a place with the deflection of boards, determine the location of the lag. They are found along the hats of carnations or self-tapping screws.
Step 2. Drill with a diameter of about 5 mm Drill through a hole in boards and lag until it stops into a concrete base. Measure the distance from the upper surface of the genital boards to a concrete base. Separately find out the thickness of the boards and lag. This can be done after a careful inspection of the hole.
Step 3. Prepare a large diameter screws, decide on their length. The length of the self-samples should be 10-15 mm to exceed the amount of the magnitude of the deflection, the thickness of the lag and its distances from the concrete base. Bulgarian with an abrasive disk Cut the tip of the self-press on the desired length. Flat, and not a sharp end increases the area of \u200b\u200bthe suspending self-storage area of \u200b\u200bconcrete, which increases the resistance of the floor after alignment. The fact that it has become stupid will not hinder twisting, the hardware is installed in the prepared hole in the lags.
Step 4. Drill the pen hole in the floorboard. It should be located strictly in the middle of the lag.
Important. During the drill, carefully ensure that the lag remains the whole. This depends on the tensile strength of self-pressing.
Step 5. Insert a large self-tapping screw into the hole and screw it up to the stop of the concrete base of the floor. As soon as the end rested about the concrete, unscrew the screws slightly and screw it again. After each re-screwing, the lag will be slightly lifted, and the floor is equalized.
Constantly follow the position of the boards using a level. The distance between self-drawing on the lag, depending on the estimated loads on the floor, in the range of 50-60 cm. After alignment of the holes are closed and polished. Such an alignment method is also suitable for preparing the base for laminate or flexible finishing flooring.
Alignment floor from natural boards with grinding machines
For example, consider the most difficult option - the floor is old, the surface is painted with oil paints, the irregularities of the boards up to 3 mm. Checking the state of the surface is determined by the above method, the integrity of lumber doubts does not cause. The floor simultaneously with alignment is updated and becomes suitable for operation without new coatings.
Step 1. Remove old paint from the floor surface, it is one of the most difficult and unpleasant operations. Old paint can be removed in several ways:
- chemical. In implementations there are various special chemicals. The old paint covers them, to prevent too fast evaporation, the floor should be plated with a polyethylene film. After 10-15 minutes, the paint becomes soft and removed with a metal spatula. The disadvantages of this method: it is necessary to work only in the means of individual protection of the respiratory organs and in non-residential premises, paint is not all removed due to the difference in thickness. In addition, the floor must be processed by small sections, their size should be such that after one soaking it was possible to have to remove a soft coating. Otherwise, the paint becomes solid again, everyone has to start first;
- thermal. A special powerful construction dryer is heated by a layer of old paint and, while it is hot, the spatula is removed. Pretty hard, long and smoking work. The method has more flaws than advantages;
- mechanical. For paint removal, special metal cutters are used with a particularly strong coarse abrasive coating. Discs are fixed on round-fluffy electrical machines (baccakes). To reduce the amount of dust on the grinder, the case is worn, the device is connected to a powerful industrial vacuum cleaner. The most optimal, according to professionals, the removal method of old paint.
Step 2. After removing the paint, we thoroughly spend the floor, do not even leave the slightest remnants, they will score grinding circles.
Paul after paint removal vacuum
Step 3. Drink in the boards Hats nails. To do this, use a metal dog and a hammer. If there is no special Dobochnik, then you can make it yourself from a piece of fittings or rods. Dobochnik's length is about 10 cm, too long it is inconvenient to work. The depth of punching depends on the size of the floor irregularities and is determined to the eye. If nails do not break through, then their caps damage the sandpaper and the impeller of the grinding machine. As a consequence, the quality of surface treatment is significantly worsening, in some cases it is necessary to change the drive shaft. In addition, a large amount of metal hats causes the rapid wear of the grinder, its frequent replacement is required, which increases the estimated cost of work.
Another problem of protruding caps - they can not be splashing, in any case they will have to pull, and after grinding you can damage the surface of the boards.
Step 4. Start a floor grinding. You can do it with a grinder or grinding machine. In the first case, it is difficult to work, takes a lot of time, the premises will dug. In addition, the small dimensions of the bladler disk cannot provide a smooth surface. In inexperienced builders, after each passage there may be traces, it will take extra time to remove them. We strongly advise you to use grinding machines. There is no need to buy aggregates for one room, you can lend them or rent.
Handle floor is needed by three species of sandpaper: large, medium and shallow. The first is used to align the boards, the second fulfills the final alignment and coarse grinding, the final finishing processing is made using the third.
Step 5. Set on the car a large sandpaper. Align the floorboards needed in the diagonal direction, while it is impossible to stop the machine in one place, it must constantly move.
Practical advice. Do not try to remove big irregularities from one passage, it is very dangerous, there may be noticeable furrows. If the floor is very uneven, then you need to pass several times along its entire surface until the final alignment. Without diagonal grinding on the floor surface, waves will remain, remember this rule. As practice shows, no less than four cars in the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe room will need for alignment.
Step 6. Take a powerful vacuum cleaner from the surface of the dust, pay special attention to the corners around the perimeter of the room and the slot between the boards. Inspect all the gaps, when the solid dirt is found in them, remove it with a metal spatula or other flat object.
Step 7. Prepare putty to close the germ slots. It can be purchased ready in a specialized store or make yourself. The color of the putty can be under the tone of wood or contrasting. The second decision is currently considered fashionable style, for this method there are expensive deck floors. In which embodiment, decide to decide, the leveling technology does not change.
Step 8. Gently cover all the slots in the floor. The material is tightly stuffed with a small flat spatula. Do not smear the putty on the surface of the boards, namely stuff in the slot. Surplus remove and re-use.
Practical advice. In implementations there are several types of putty: polymer, acrylic and oil. The polymer most expensive and high-quality, acrylic is suitable for all indicators, but less wear-resistant. Oil dries long and gives a large shrinkage. We will have to repeat the putty after the first drying.
In the absence of a factory putty, you can make it yourself. In stores there are special liquids for the preparation of putty mass. Add in them sawdust collected after floor alignment machine. Never use to put PVA. The fact is that glue-heated during grinding becomes soft and stretches, on the floor, difficult strips appear on the floor. You can use lacquer for wood, only non-screenshots are closed with such a putty. It is not recommended to make putty on the basis of olifa or ordinary lean oil.
Step 9. After complete drying, start polishing the floor. Movements should be longitudinal, while alternately change the grinding skirt on a more fine-grained. Due to this technology, the surface will be as smooth and smooth as possible.
Due to the larger dimensions, the drum-type grinding machine can not get to places with limited access, the sections along the walls will have to be grinding manually. To facilitate the work, you can use a small flat oral machine. Pay attention to the quality of floor alignment to be the same over the entire surface. Use the same number of grinding skins as for a drum type machine.
Important. Remember that without electrical machines, it is impossible to get a smooth floor of the required quality. Grinding the floor with the help of a wooden bar is not only very tedious, but also ineffective.
Step 10. Vacuum cleaner diligently remove the dust. If the room is large, then it is recommended to repeat cleaning the next day. During this time, the dust falls out of air to the floor, re-cleaning will exclude it to enter the paints and varnishes.
Finish finish
Next, you can proceed to the finishing finish of the smooth and polished floor. To improve adhesion indicators with sawn timber and their protection against the negative impact of moisture, the surface is recommended to be projected. To this end, special compositions are applied, the specific name of materials does not have the value, all normal operational performance.
The primer performs another very important function - lifts the smallest pile on wood. If it does not apply it, then the surface of the floor after the coating varnish will become rough. The primer is applied with a roller, in hard-to-reach places, use a painting brush. After drying, you can continue work.
Step 1. Remove the rissed pile on the boards. To do this, you need to use the grinding skurt P120, larger grains will leave traces. The pile of grinding is recommended manually, it will provide the most qualitative performance. To control should be periodically carried out on the surface of the palm, the boards should be perfectly smooth. Start from the far plot and move towards the output from the room.
Step 2. We remove the dust with a vacuum cleaner, spending the room twice.
Step 3. Start covering the floor with varnish. To achieve high quality, at least two layers of varnish are needed. The second is applied only after complete drying of the first.
Important. During the application of varnish, close the doors and windows, prevent the formation of drafts. They bring dust, remove it from the surface of the floor only with grinding. This means that all work will have to repeat what is expensive and long.
If you do everything right, the old floor will not only become even, but will also look stylish taking into account modern requirements for the interior of the premises. How to align the wooden floor with plywood or OSP we will look at in a separate article. Immediately, let's say that this repair does not result in the result of having a finishing flooring from natural boards, and this is a big lack of technology.
Answers on questions
How to remove downloading boards?
If there are many of them, then everything is solved simply - use a lomik and a nail, try not to damage only the lags. And if such boards are only a few pieces, then dismantled by the protested should be very careful. In order not to damage the nearby, rotten follows in several places to cut and remove parts. Never stop the instrument about normal boards, do not leave tracks on them. In the extreme case, you can use wooden gaskets, but they sometimes remain dents sometimes.
Is it possible to use a squabble machine to enjoy the wooden floor?
You can, but not need for several reasons. First, she removes a very large thickness of the boards. Secondly, the machine leaves a wide and high raw strip around the perimeter, it is very difficult to remove it. Thirdly, modern grinding machines with the help of the skins with different numbers perfectly perform two work at the same time. Fourth, Cyclical Machines Dangerous aggregates, flying a metal knife causes complex injuries. Fifth, knives are often damaged by metal objects.
Old floor can have robbed nails not only over lags, it is very difficult to notice them. Damaged knives need to be sharpened or change new. For sharpening, you will need a special machine, manually such work is done. Searches for a grinding machine or buying new knives - an extra loss of time and money.

Video - how to grind the wooden floor
Over time, the surface of any wooden floors will inevitably crack, begged and becomes uneven.
Hide such defects can be hidden using various flooring, such as laminate or linoleum.
Hide such defects with various outdoor coatingsFor example or. Before laying any finishing materials, it is necessary to competently and efficiently treat the surface and make it as smooth as possible.
There are several ways to make the surface of the floor smooth. To select the correct way it follows assess the state Wooden surface.
Selecting a method
Main ways of alignment
- Cyclo
- Glue PVA and Plug
- Self-leveling mixture or "bulk sex"
- Plywood
Mechanical Wood Floor Cylish
For a mechanical cycle, a cyclical machine is required, with which you can quickly and efficiently make the surface of the floor as smooth as possible.
Cyclic is one of the most simple and common ways to align the wooden floor. The laboriousness of the process pays off by high quality results. Most often, the cycles are performed under painting (read about putting the walls under the color in this) or varnishing. The manual method of cycloings is inappropriate due to high time consuming and considerable time. For a mechanical cycle, a cyclical machine is required, with which you can quickly and efficiently make the surface of the floor as smooth as possible. With minimal skills, on the cycloration of the room at 20 square meters. Meters takes no more than one day.
Stages of mechanical cyclish:
- Cleaning the room from furniture and interior items. Stationary items should be rooted to avoid unnecessary dusting.
- Preparation of the floor surface. Remove all nails and buttons that can damage the cyclum machine. Carefully clean the floor from garbage.
- Checking the health of the cyclical machine and the preparation of workwear, respirator, headphones, tight gloves.
- Direct floor cycling. Works should be started with the angle of the room. The first layer is removed when moving snake.
- Elimination with a putty of all cracks, chips and holes. The color of the shp can pick up as close as possible to the color of the wooden surface.
- Processing of all hard-to-reach places of the floor with a manual cycle. After drying the putty, it is necessary to conduct a secondary cyclo.
Floor alignment of PVA and putty
It is based on the use of a mixture of wet sawdust and PVA glue, which, after frozen, forms a rather durable surface, reminded by a chipboard of chipboard.
Such an innovative and unusual way of equalizing the wooden floor is very budgetAnd recently is gaining popularity. It is based on the use of a mixture of wet sawdust and PVA glue, which, after frozen, forms a rather durable surface, reminded by a chipboard of chipboard. The process is quite long. On the alignment of the surface, with an area of \u200b\u200b20 square meters. Meters may take about 8 hours.
Administration steps with adhesive mixture:
- Remove of furniture and floor cleaning.
- Performing the level of markup and the imposition of the RESEK.
- Pouring the space between the slats and the floor prepared by the adhesive mixture. The thick leveling layer is performed in several receptions. Each subsequent layer is poured after complete grazing of the previous one.
- Check the resulting coating using a level. All defects and errors need to be eliminated using a putty.
- Full drying depends on the thickness and takes no less than a day. Additional strength can be given with the help of a chipboard or plywood sheet.
Wait for complete drying (as a rule, it takes a couple of days) and put outdoor coverage.
Alignment of self-leveling mixture
Walls should be covered with insulating material.
This method is quite simple, and the produced self-leveling mixtures designed specifically for wooden floors makes the whole process as much as possible. The thickness of the perfectly smooth surface will be from 0.5 to 2 cm.
The preparation of the surface is to fix all moving boards and removing the repellent parts of the fasteners. Then necessary collect Surface for removing paint residues or varnish. Noticeable gaps and gaps are leveled with a thick self-leveling mixture. The walls should be covered with insulating material, and in the doorway, install a wooden bar in the height of the upcoming fill. The duration of work in a room of 20 square meters. meters at a layer of 3 mm. It does not exceed 8 hours, and after 6 hours on a flooded surface, you can already move.
Stages of alignment:
Alignment plywood
Very popular and common level of alignment. Established for laying various types of flooring. The plywood sheets of class 4 and above are used. The sheet thickness should not be less than 1.2 cm. The optimal thickness of the lag is 70 mm. A good option is 2 grades of array of coniferous rocks: spruce, fir or pine. Humidity level - no more than 18-20%. With a competent approach and some skills, the floor area is 20 square meters. meters can be aligned for one day.
Stages of alignment:
Cost of material and works in 2015
Most often, construction and repair companies offer floor alignment services "The bulk method". The cost of equalizing the "bulk floor" to 20 mm is 270 rubles. per square. m. Alignment "bulk floors" from 20 mm to 50 mm will cost 310 rubles. per square. m., aligning the "bulk gender" using a leveling composition costs 350 rubles. sq. m. If a primer is required by a universal composition, such work is estimated at 75 rubles. per square. m.
If a liquid sex is selected, then the consumption of the high-quality German mixture Uzin NC 175 with a layer thickness of 3 mm. equal to 4 kg per 1 square meter. meter; 6 mm - 8 kg; 9 mm - 12 kg. Accordingly, standard packaging in 25 kg is enough for 6, 3 or 2 square meters. The meter base of the wooden floor. Paper bag of this mixture weighing 25 kg. It is in the area of \u200b\u200b3 thousand rubles.
The cost of professional work on the equalization of the wooden floor using plywood is within 140 - 160 rubles. per square. m. The leaf waterproof plywood FSF 12 mm format 2500 x 1250 costs 1300 rubles. The required number is easy to calculate yourself.
Of course, the most budget is a method of alignment using PVA and Ploves glue.
The total value of the material depends on the placement of the room and the thickness of the applied layer. For example: PVA PVA POLYMAX Extra M, 5 kg. costs 230.96 rubles. Sawdust, which are a waste of woodworking production, are both "kopeck" at all, or even free material. With the average fill thickness, such a mixture of 1-1.5 cm., Consumption of glue per 1 kV. m. make up about 0.8 kg. The proportions of glue and sawdust depend on the type of wood waste.
As a rule, a durable compound gives a ratio of sawdust to glue 2: 1.
The price range for the floors of the floors is very large and depends on the selected equipment. The price of a wooden floor cyclovka begins from 119 rubles. per square. m. For example, cyclook work on German technology will cost the customer in 500 rubles. per square. m. Warranty on work - at least 2 years. The price of independent cycling works is completely dependent on the cost of the tool used. Rent of the cycle machine costs 1000 rubles per day. Buy such a tool for one-time use inappropriate.
Video instruction
Wooden floor with time begins to crack and lose its smooth surface. Therefore, sooner or later, in front of the owners of houses with such floors there is a question about covering them with new material. And for this, as you know, at first it is necessary to make the basis perfectly even.
Of course, to align the wooden floor is not so simple, but if you comply with all the advice and recommendations, every homemade craftsman can cope with this task.
General
Wooden floors belong to the species of coatings that require constant care, as wood is susceptible to dry, stroke and cracking. The alignment of the wooden coating allows to eliminate various irregularities that can spoil a new coating in the future.
This applies to both solid outdoor materials, such as parquet or laminate and soft - carpet or linoleum.
Floor alignment can be performed in one of several ways:
- Cyclishing;
- With the help of putty and glue PVA;
- Plywood;
- Self-leveling mixture.
Determination of the coating condition
To select the correct method of alignment, it is necessary to determine the condition of the wooden floor.
This is done as follows:
- Initially, you need to check the boards for inconsistence of rot and insect damage. To tear one board and inspect its opposite direction and lag. If the board is dry and durable, has no traces of damage to insects, then the floor does not need to be changed. If the foci of rotten, or cracks, are found, then the poor-quality boards will have to be replaced.
- Then you need to determine how much the floor deviated from the horizontal. This procedure can be performed using a laser level.
If the floor has many irregularities and deviations from horizontal, then alignment or self-leveling mixture. If the floor is horizontal, but has surface defects, then they can be sealing with putty or produce cycle.
Paul alignment
Alignment with cycle
The cycle is one of the most simple and, but at the same time the most time consuming. Most often it is used in cases when they do not want to cover the tree by another material. Therefore, the cycle is especially popular when aligning floors in wooden houses.
This method is two types:
- Manual;
- Mechanical.
Manual flooring for floors is too time-consuming and almost always unjustified. Mechanical is performed by a special cyclical machine, respectively, it is better. Therefore, if the question arose in front of you - how to align the floors in a wooden house, then the best solution will be a mechanical cycle, provided that this procedure allows you to perform the condition of the coating.
This operation is as follows:
- Before aligning the floor in a wooden house, you need to prepare the surface. To do this, you need to pull out all the nails and buttons that can damage the cycular machine.
- All security measures should then be taken, i.e. Put on a respirator that protects from dust and wood dispersion, as well as tight gloves.
- After that, you can proceed to the cyclove itself. Start the operation follows from the angle and move the snake from one wall to another, removing the first layer.
- Inaccessible places need to be treated with manual cyclical.
- It is possible that after that, the surface of the floor will not be perfect, in this case, the cracks and holes should be sealed with a putty, which has a color similar to wood.
- When the putty will dry well, the floor should be bought again.
Tip!
If some board is too damaged, then it can be turned over to the other side.
After the cycular work is completed, it should be proceeded to clean the garbage and dust. The surface must be thoroughly speaking, and before lacquering - wipe with a tissue with a degreasing means.
Note!
Alignment can be considered successful only if the entire surface is smooth, and is deprived of any irregularities.
Alignment with the help of PVA and Plug
Recently, the household owners are increasingly used by the method of alignment of floors with the help of PVA and putty glue. This method is the most unusual and innovative. With wood sawdust, putty and PVA is made a mixture that is covered by the floor. After the frozen, it becomes durable and difficult.
Since the price of all components of such a coating is not at all high, it can be called a budget solution. In this case, the result resembles the chipboard plate, with the only difference that the liquid putty can penetrate the gap. This type of alignment also combines the floor insulation.
Work is performed in several stages:
- First of all, the railway racks are exhibited on the floor, on the likeness of the lighthouses for the screed;
- Then the filling of the floor with a mixture of PVA and sawdust is performed.
- If you need to apply a thick layer of sawdust, then the procedure should be performed in several steps. First, the first layer is applied, then, after complete bread, you can apply a second layer. All subsequent layers are applied after drying the previous one.
- Then all errors should be checked using a level. When it is detected, irregularities should be eliminated by applying additional spacchal material.
Tip!
So that wood sawdresses do not absorb all moisture from PVA, they can be pre-wetted.
Alignment of self-leveling mixture
If you want to cover the floor with a new material, and not just paint or varnish, then the cyclove is not suitable in this case. We will have to use another way of alignment of the floor - self-leveling mixture.
To date, there are mixtures on the market that are intended solely for aligning wooden floors. They will allow even the most vigorous floor to gain the perfectly smooth and smooth surface. In this case, the thickness of the coating will be 0.5-2 cm.
Instructions for equalizing the surface by this method as follows:
- Initially, it is necessary to prepare the surface, i.e. Fix all the boards so that they do not hate. To do this, you can use screws or screws. All nail caps should be clogged below the floor level.
- The next stage of preparation consists in grinding the surface, removing all the residues of varnish or paint from it. If there are large gaps in the floor, then they must be sealed using a self-leveling mixture of a more thick consistency than for filling the floors.
- Then the surface should be projected to the water-proof primer.
- After that, the level, layer thickness, is determined, and the bar is installed in the doorway, in height equal to the thickness of the future coating.
- Then it is necessary to lay a reinforced grid with an overlap in a few centimeters to the primed floor. It is possible to secure it with a construction stapler.
- When the surface is prepared, you can prepare the mixture, according to the instructions on the package and pour it into the reinforced floor. Formed bubbles should be eliminated using a studed roller. After that, the mixture must be spacing using a rubber smooth roller.

Note!
Excessive volume of water is capable of simplifying the process, but it will lead to the coating bundle.
Alignment of wooden plywood coating
This method is extremely common and popular. If you comply with the instruction, it will allow you to get a flat surface suitable for the coating by any outdoor material.
To equalize plywood, you must perform the following steps:
- All over the perimeter, you need to place the screws or screws like lighthouses at a certain level. Then the floor should be divided into squares with the parties of 200-300 mm and put lighthouses in the corners.
- After the level is put up, it is necessary to put lags - plywood strips 3 cm wide, attaching them to the floor with self-draws or glue.
- Then it is necessary to cut the sheets into squares of approximately 60x60 cm.
- Sheets need to attach to lags by self-drawing, placing them in a checker order.
Tip!
Before mounting plywood sheets, you need to pay attention to their ends.
If they are smell, the material is not suitable for installation.

As we can see, modern technologies allow each homeowner to quickly and high qualityly align the wooden floor. The main thing is to have at least minor skills with a tool and adhere to the instructions outlined above.

The boardwalk can be found in a private house and an old planning apartment. Its main advantage is environmental purity, heat capacity and pleasant tactile sensations. That is why many owners of residential premises, wanting to extend the life of a wooden floor covering, slowly tearing the boards, and strive to align them. It is mistaken to believe that only real carpenters or professional builders can align the wooden floor. In some cases, theoretically prepared, to carry out work on floor alignment, without breaking the boards, you can independently.
The boardwalk can be aligned with the following ways:
- the use of grinding machine;
- putty;
- by laying sheet material;
- tie.
Using a rolled or tiled material (laminate, linoleum, PVC plates, carpet) of the wooden floor irregularities can not be eliminated.
Before carrying out any work, a specialist is required to consult a specialist for the integrity and suitability of sex to further exploitation. Otherwise, the repair will not be successful and the coating will soon come into disrepair.
In order to choose the way to choose a floor alignment in the house, you need to determine the degree of its irregularities. If the irregularity of the floor is up to 1 mm, then enough cyclo. The height difference in 2-3 mm is eliminated with putty. Laying sheet material on lags will fix the height difference to 10 cm. Minor irregularities are eliminated if the floor is noted on the floor. Laminate for such purposes is not suitable.
Cyclishing procedure
You can use a cycle machine if the boards are located strictly horizontally. The special equipment is not necessary to buy for a disposable procedure. It is usually taken for rent.
Phased process description:
- it will take care of individual protection: respirator from small dust, earplugs;
- remove all furniture from the room. Doors with adjacent rooms are tightly closed. They are walked by polyethylene for additional protection, because as a result of the operation of the machine for cycloying, small dust is formed, which penetrates any slots;
- with the help of a chipper, you need to lower all nails caps below the floor level by 2 mm;
- include the car. Works are carried out from the long corner of the room. Having reached the opposite wall, turn 180 degrees and move in the opposite direction;
- procycloving boards once, from their surface remove the resulting dust. Large gaps close up with a putty to the tree. After drying, the last cycloying is repeated.
The aligned floor is covered with varnish, it is possible to lay a linoleum or laminate.
Split wooden floor
In this case, an acrylic sealant or finishing acrylic putty is used. If the height difference reaches 3 mm, it is recommended to level the floor with a putty on the PVE glue. Such a state of affairs is explained simply: although acrylic putty and has sufficient flexibility (it is not cracking, even if the floor bends beneath it), it can lose integrity if its layer will reach 3 mm. Acrylic putty align small floors of the floor.
The finishing putty on the PVE glue can be aligned the height difference of more than 3 mm. In this case, it is mixed with wood sawdust. Failure of the methodology: the leveling material is very sticky and lips long. After drying, the putty is placed on it linoleum or carpet. Laminate, tile is impossible.
Align the floor plywood
How to align the wooden floor of the plywood? In this case, the plywood is simply attached to the floor with self-draws. Support for plywood serves the top of irregularities or waves of the board.
However, this process has its own characteristics:
- if the width of the floor boards is 10-20 cm, the irregularities of the floor are insignificant, then the plywood, thickness up to 10 mm is quite useful;
- if the width of the boards exceeds 20 cm, the irregularities of the floor are uneven, that is, pass through the board, then the plywood is needed with a thickness of more than 10 mm. It must be remembered that the usual plywood will be ineffective in rooms with high humidity. To do this, you can use moisture resistant material.
Sheet material is attached to the floor with self-draws, joints and seams are closed with acrylic sealant. After the surface decorate. For these purposes, carpet, laminate, linoleum are used. Boards with neat alignment are covered with varnish.
Another way to use plywood
If the height difference of the horizontal overlap of the house exceeds 10 cm, the use of lag is recommended. These are wooden bars of a certain thickness. Their thickness and installation step are determined, based on the characteristics of plywood. So, you can take a phaneer in 12-14 mm, then the step of lag is equal to 35-40 cm. If the wood material is thicker (16-18 mm), then the step is 50 cm.
Stages of work:
- perform the marking of the floor using a laser level;
- according to the markup, lighthouses are exhibited. These are the same bars located at a distance of each other at 230-300 mm. They are screwed by self-pressing to the floor. The correctness of their installation is checked by the level. If the lighthouses are not exhibited, but the leveling layer will not give the expected effect. Linoleum on such a floor can be put, laminate - no;
- according to the situation of lighthouses, the rest of the lag can be carried out;
- plywood fasteners are carried out only at the end of the installation of the lag. It is easier to install if you cut into equal squares. Installation of plywood is performed with a displacement (like brickwork) using self-tapping screws.
Do not forget about compensation gaps near the walls. The final stage is decoration. To do this, use parquet, laminate, linoleum, carpet.
Floor screed on wooden boards
It is possible to align the floor with a wet tie, if it was originally laid on a concrete base or under it are lagows on brick columns. The distances between the supports and the thickness of the floor itself are sufficient to withstand the load of the cement or concrete solution. Theoretically, the wooden floor is allowed to wet, the cement screed, the thickness of which does not exceed 5-7 cm. However, it must be remembered that the load on the overlap will increase to 75-100 kg / m. In the leveling material, plasticizers and microfiber are necessarily added for reinforcement. Otherwise, the band screed is simply cracking, as the pure cement solution is non-ielastic.
The technology of alignment of the wet board boards does not differ from the classic method of organizing the draft layer. After rising a cement stone, a linoleum, laminate, parquet or any other decoring material can be put on it.
