Every day the number of types of flooring is becoming more and more. But one thing remains unchanged: parquet board is still popular. And involuntarily there is an opinion that this popularity will never disappear. Today, many people want to have a parquet board in their houses on the floor . DIY installation of this type of coating is not very difficult. If you do not want to spend money on specialists, then it is worth understanding the main points.
Parquet can lay on the logs that are used in old-style houses, and on a concrete base. Laying the floorboard with your own hands on concrete should be accompanied by a thorough leveling of the base with a screed. There are two ways, choosing one of which, you can lay the flooring: floating and adhesive. In the second case, the boards are attached to the base with an adhesive solution. At the moment, professionals mainly resort to the floating method, with the help of which the floorboard is easily and quickly laid. Do-it-yourself styling is done on special substrates of small thickness. The panels themselves are connected to each other through a lock.
Most likely, many times compared the parquet with the laminate, because both of them are a structure with a large number of layers. But if you want your house to have environmentally friendly floors made of real wood, then you need a parquet board.

Parquet production technology is such that all panels are adjusted strictly to the size of the room. With the help of special studs and grooves, the connection is made easily and simply, without any sagging. Today on the market you can buy a variety of
types of flooring: this is a parquet board (massif), and piece parquet, and boards, and many others. Each of them has both advantages and disadvantages. Some varieties of flooring require additional scrapering, grinding and varnishing.
