Laminated parquet is a type of parquet that is produced in two and three layers. Low value woods or plywood are preferred in the lower layer, while the tree itself is used in the upper layer.
Polished, painted, aged etc. flooring options are available.
It takes its name from the word laminated, which means to stick. It refers to the material formed by layers that adhere to each other.
The thickness of the top layer is produced as 3-6 millimeters.
The thickness and quality of the wood used in the top layer play a major role in the selection of laminated parquet.
When the materials to be laid in one piece (plank) or three pieces (3-strip) in laminated flooring are brought side by side, there should be no level difference between them.
In addition, the complete interlocking of the parts is a detail that should not be paid attention to in order to prevent a possible water leakage.
In places where there is a problem on the ground, two-layer laminated parquet should be used. Because its structure is more flexible than the three-layered ones, and this stretch allows to prevent a possible sound problem.
Why Laminate Flooring?
Laminated Flooring is Natural
It is a healthy, ergonomic and decorative floor covering material created by combining 3 layers of completely natural wood materials under heat and pressure, forming a right angle to each other.
Top layer: It is a 3.5 mm thick layer made of wood (oak, maple, merbau, etc.) that gives the parquet its name.
Bottom and Middle Layer: It is the wood material that provides the laminated parquet feature and forms the substrate.
Laminated Flooring is Ready to Use
Wooden parquet flooring cost come out of their packages as polished and ready to use. Each piece of parquet has special recesses and protrusions to match other pieces. For this reason, laminated parquets are laid quickly and can be used immediately after laying, since they do not need to be polished.
Assembly Time is Easy and Short
Since all kinds of processing of the material in the laminated parquet are made in the factory before it is ready for use and packed, the assembly process can be completed in one day for a medium-sized flat (80 m²) and the parquet is ready for use the next day. The application process takes 8-9 days shorter than solid parquet.
Swelling of the parquets is not in question.
In laminate flooring. Even if it receives excessive water or moisture, there is no swelling.
Surface Quality is Perfect
Since the manufacturing technique of laminated flooring is laminated to the water and street of the parts (perpendicular to each other), there is no study. Unpleasant images do not occur on the surface either. A few layers of sandpaper are first applied on the material in vending machines. Then calibration is done. Then, 6 layers of UV filler and polish are applied to the surface in vending machine polishing machines. Therefore, a very perfect surface is obtained, since all processes of laminated flooring are carried out in automatic machines.
Does Not Change Color
Since the polishing process in laminated parquets is done in the factory and then packaged, the user decides by seeing the pattern, color and final form of the parquet he will prefer. You will not encounter any surprises. The material you like will come out of the package.
Easy to Repair
When it is necessary to make repairs in any part of the laminated parquet being used; It is only possible to do this operation in that region in a very short time and at very little cost.
How is Laminate Flooring Installed?
Laminate Flooring Installation and Considerations
After laying the mattress, the laying process should be started from the edge of the wall with the female mortise facing the wall.
A protective wedge should be used between the wall and the material.
Glue should be applied to the inner parts of the female tenon part of the piece to be laid.
After joining with the tenon of the previous piece, compression should be done with a wooden wedge without using excessive force.
Glue overflowing to the surface should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
The next row should start with the remaining piece from the previous row and the joining lines of successive rows should be shifted by at least 50 cm.
The plates must be firmly clamped with the lever.
Wedges should be removed and the gap between the wall and the floor should be closed by laying skirting boards.
Things to Consider on the Floor to be Laid Parquet
The screed should be poured fairly tightly.
By hitting the screed with a hammer and rubbing a sharpened nail-like material on the screed, information can be obtained about the density of the floor and the surface hardness. In order to obtain alum of this quality, the alum must not be less than 400 doses.
When the surface of the screed is hit with a hammer, there should be no traces, and when nail-like substances are rubbed on the screed, deep marks and dust should not form. If the screed is excessively dusty, a primer must be used to stop this dusting before the glue application.
