Many people mistakenly believe that laying laminate flooring is a simple task that anyone can handle. At the same time, this process is very laborious and requires the observance of some important nuances.
At the initial stage of installation of flooring, you should familiarize yourself with the rules, following which will help to aesthetically fit laminate between the rooms and guaranteed to get a positive result in the form of neat floors that fit perfectly into interior.
If it is not possible to join the laminate with the same or another type of coating, you should purchase the necessary connecting elements and make sure that the floor base is completely even. If there are differences on the basis of the floor, it will not be possible to dock the laminate with the laminate or other coatings.
Laminate joists
The most common element for joining the floor coverings are sills. They allow you to mask the joint between the laminate and other floor coverings. In this case, the thickness of the opening remaining during the joining of materials should be sufficient. This is because over time the flooring boards can expand a little and if they have no where to move, the floor can go “waves”.
Types of thresholds for joining the laminate
Modern manufacturers offer thresholds for joining laminate and other floor materials in a large assortment, which can make it difficult to choose.
The most common types are:
- Metal;
- Plastic
- Laminated
- Rubber;
- Wooden.
The latter type has a high cost, and therefore it is rarely used to join the laminate. Rubber sills are used when laying floor coverings on flights of stairs and steps.
Alternative to laminate door sills
Joints between different floor materials can be filled with sealants or cork expansion joints. When working with sealant or construction foam, you should be as careful as possible so as not to stain their surface.
Cork layers are recommended to be used only when connecting two sections of the laminate. The big advantage is that the cork is distinguished by its plastic properties, and therefore it can wrinkle when the coating expands and returns to its original shape when it shrinks.
