How to lay floors "Knauf" elements of sex

There are two main options for the device of floors: priming method based on ties of a solution (cement and sand) and bulk using prefabricated structures.The second method is used less frequently, but are economical production.Consider the way the device using the bulk of sex products leader in this market - the German company "Knauf".

Production company "Knauf"

This German company is widely known in the market for many years and is characterized by excellent quality of its materials.The list of its products include sheets of plasterboard and giposovloknistye, pazogrebnevye plate, mix the liquid building.Particularly widespread in our country received bulk floors "Knauf".

floors "Knauf" elements of sex

By products of this segment are "Knauf" -superlist (normal and waterproof) and floor elements "Knauf".Gypsum "Knauf" -superlist - a high-quality, eco-friendly and fireproof material.It has good acoustic and thermal insulation properties.Sheet size 250h120 thickness of 1 or 1,25 cm. It is used as a compensation layer with a thickness of backfill at least 15 cm if the floor "Knauf".

floor elements made of water-resistant, "Knauf" -superlistov.Thus the two sheets are glued to the size 120h60h1 see. The result is a floor element 1200h600h20mm "Knauf" - a sheet with folds around the perimeter of the 5 cm wide.
floor construction "Knauf" consists of a film layer, the layer of expanded clay and the actual floor elements.Arrangement of the floor has the following advantages:

• short term;
• exclusion of the "dirty" work;
• obtained perfectly level ground floor with comfortable seating all communications.

for laying the floor, "Knauf" is suitable not only smooth surface, but also uneven base defects, covered with a layer application phase.

Advantages of the sexes "Knauf"

• Perfect evenness of the subfloor.
• hypoallergenic materials.
• Lack creaks and breaks during his lifetime.
• Ready for use immediately after installation of the floor.
• Excellent sound insulation (in comparison with cement screed floors or tank);
• Inability to fill the neighbors, since the water is not used.
• Low thermal conductivity floors Knauf.
• High speed of work.
• The ability to alternate devices floors in different rooms at the same level.
• Possibility device of any floor covering (eg parquet).
• Possibility of installation of electric underfloor heating (can not hold water underfloor heating).

device floor with their hands

No problem to build their own floors, "Knauf".Elements of gender, the necessary materials and tools necessary to buy and follow the simple step by step instructions:

• prepare the surface;
• proolozhit vapor and damp-proofing layer and insulation;
• fill expanded clay;
• laid floor elements "Knauf", assembling them is quite simple enough to fix screws and glue;
• perform finish flooring.

Laying floor elements "Knauf"

In preparing the surface, if repaired, remove old paint, dust and rubble, close up alabaster or plaster solution all the cracks and holes in the ground.In the presence of the wires they should be placed in the corrugated and pressed to the floor (expanded clay layer over the flexi hose must be less than 2 cm).When the device

vapor and damp-proofing layer using a level necessary to partition walls an upper layer of filling expanded clay (from two to six centimeters, depending on the irregularities of the base) plus 2cm thickness of floor elements.On grounds of sex with a stop above the level plank affixed film (with overlap of more than 20 cm) and fixed construction tape.To make better use of the concrete base and vapor control sheet (polyethylene film can be 200 microns), for wood - bitumen paper or glassine.

At arrangement of sound insulation around the perimeter of the room along the wall mounted sound-insulation material thickness of 1 and 10 cm wide, self-adhesive or plain securing conventional tape.

When filling haydite importantly - align the regulation surface layer and prevent the formation of voids.For this pre-arrange parallel profiles in increments of no more than 150 cm at the height previously marked on labels on the walls.The desired height is obtained by placing them under the boards or the remains of the plates.For the stability profile of the pivot point should be located at least 70 cm. If a layer of expanded clay obtained more than 6 cm, it is necessary to build an additional layer of plates.After leveling layer rule profile is deleted along with the backups, while the remaining voids are filled with expanded clay, leveled, and the entire layer of compacted.To move on to be-laid layer enclosing a foot sheets of plywood squares.When

flat surface of the base instead of expanded clay backfill used sheets of extruded polystyrene or other insulating materials to seal edge tape along the walls.

Finish the floor to arrange "Knauf".Elements of the floor is better to lay by the door.When laying the first row folds sheets are cut adjacent to the walls.Subsequent rows stacked with offset joints.This seams are glued with white glue and secured with screws 15 cm apart.
