Dismantling of an old floor or its covering is an integral stage of any capital repairs. Consider how to achieve the desired result without resorting to the services of specialists.
The most common types of flooring, which are most often subject to dismantling, are:
- Tile;
- Wooden floor;
- Synthetic coated concrete base.
The first unavoidable step in any dismantling is preparation, which involves closing the slots of the doorways with a damp cloth to prevent dust from spreading.
To work, you will need tools such as:
- Jigsaw or saw.
- Sledgehammer or hammer.
- Nail clipper.
- Pliers.
- Screwdrivers
If the floor is covered with porcelain stoneware or tiles, it will not be superfluous to stock up with a perforator or chisel.
Any dismantling begins with the removal of skirting boards around the perimeter of the room. The process begins with the dismantling of decorative trims and fasteners. To simplify the procedure, it is best to start from the corner of the room.
The dismantling of wooden floors requires a preliminary determination of the location of the underground logs. Most often, the problem is the removal of the first board. To avoid this, it is best to first free up the space between the wall and the floor to pry off the wood panel. This will greatly simplify the task and allow you to quickly disassemble the entire surface with a screwdriver and hammer.
To eliminate the floor screed made of concrete, it is necessary to remove the decorative flooring. Only after this can the concrete be started by striking. The presence of a special nozzle for a perforator, jackhammer and sledgehammer will significantly speed up and simplify the procedure.
It is important to consider that working with a power tool requires the employee to have personal protective equipment that protects the respiratory system and eyes from the negative effects of dust.
At first glance, the process of dismantling the floor is not a difficult manipulation, the main task of which is to eliminate the material covering the surface. Contrary to the expression “breaking - not building”, dismantling is a voluminous and troublesome task. In order to prevent the accumulation of a large amount of construction debris during operation, it is recommended to prepare a sufficient number of propylene bags in advance.
