What mistakes when laying parquet can end sadly

In the process of installing parquet, a variety of troubles often arise, which are realized in the manifestation of squeaks, warping, drying out and other negative properties. In order to avoid all this, we will consider the most common mistakes made by the master when laying a parquet board.

Floor creaking

Often, the cause of the creak is not only parquet, but also the plywood board itself. The presence of a creak indicates that the structure is not stationary, and its individual elements are able to move under load. The reason for such a defect may be: poor-quality screed, insufficiently strong adhesive, poor quality of the parquet itself or plywood.

Gap formation

The diverging slabs of the parquet indicate that the wood was raw during the laying process, and after some time it dried out and changed its shape. As a rule, the main reason is the improper storage of the material. If the room has a low level of humidity, then the parquet is likely to “dry out”. The moisture removed from it leads to a decrease in the size of the parquet. Sudden evaporation often causes significant deformation.

Parquet Cracks

A change in the moisture level of a tree leads to a sharp increase or decrease in volume. The reason for the rupture of the panels can be such mistakes made during installation, such as dry glue or an excessively large amount of varnish applied to the surface. In any case, cracks on the floorboard are most often explained precisely by the negative effects of moisture.

Stains under varnish

If a sufficient amount of time has not passed after laying the parquet, most likely, the moisture in it has not yet had time to weather. The varnish applied to the coating of the laminate will in every way prevent this, accumulating various spots and stains under its layer.

A poorly sanded surface can also reflect various traces of whitewash, glue, and other building materials.

Curve pattern

Often on laid parquet you can find uneven laying lines. This shortcoming is explained by tightly knocked down dies. It is possible that low-quality material during the installation process requires great effort, which leads to a more dense stacking of elements.

Laying parquet is a rather complicated process. This material is so demanding that working with it should be ensured by the presence of not only certain knowledge, but also experience.
