Before laying linoleum on a wooden floor, the surface is examined for the presence of flaws. To remove the old layer of paint, use a spatula and a construction hair dryer. The surface is heated and after softening the paint the coating is cleaned with a spatula. Excavations are covered with special mastic. To eliminate the creak, lags and boards are determined, which are a source of unpleasant sound. The elements are drilled and fastened with long self -tapping screws, clinging to the base.
To align a wooden base use special tools or plywood. With the help of a rubbish, you can remove a layer of wood, which is protruding from the overall level. You can also use a grinding machine. Laying a layer of plywood is a more time -consuming way. First, the surface is treated with glue. Then the plywood sheets are nailed with nails to the base and shut up the gaps with mastic. Plywood is covered with one layer of olifa.
The main difficulties in laying linoleum arise due to the fact that the material is stored in rolls. This storage method causes surface folds. Before laying linoleum, you need to spread on a flat surface. Heavy objects are placed on the folds. To fix linoleum, the floors are treated with glue. A piece of linoleum is applied to the treated area and wait for a while.
