Pay attention to these steps before laying the floor

When we decorate a house, laying the floor is a very important step. In order to ensure that the tiles or wooden floors laid can be more exquisite, we need to treat the ground to some extent. So, how to treat the ground before laying the floor? This article will introduce the steps for cleaning the ground before laying the floor.

1： Clean up the construction site
1. Remove the putty and latex paint that have fallen off the ground
Many people tend to have a lot of putty and latex paint on the floor during house decoration. It is recommended that you purchase some colored cloth to lay on the floor during decoration, so that it will not be so troublesome to remove the putty and latex paint.

2. Remove the putty residue at the intersection of the ground and wall, as well as the loose edges of the putty
Usually, when we apply putty, workers only scrape it to about the height of the skirting board from the ground. Therefore, those walls that are blocked by the skirting board usually do not apply putty. It is recommended that when carrying out wall treatment, construction personnel should apply putty to the bottom of the wall.

3. Clean the dust on the ground
If there is some small dust on the ground that is difficult to remove, you can first use a latex paint brush to brush all the walls once, which can remove all the tiny dust on the walls and then clean them.

4. Clean the ground with a mop
Use a mop to clean the floor so that there is no dust present.

5. Ground cleaning
If the floor cleaning work is not done well, it is easy to cause unevenness and arching when laying wooden floors or tiles. When installing the floor, we need to wait until the ground is dry before laying.

6. Seal the construction site before entering the wooden floor to prevent dust pollution
Then we need to seal the floor and wait for it to be laid. If the floor has not been laid for a long time, the surface dust needs to be removed before laying the floor.


2： How to handle different materials before laying
1. Solid wood composite flooring
When laying solid wood composite flooring, the cement floor should be leveled, and the materials used should be calculated to reserve a certain amount of expansion joints.

2. Ceramic tile floor
Whether we are laying tiles dry or wet, we need to consider the ratio of cement and sand. When laying tiles with a large area, we need to leave a certain expansion gap. The stones passing through the door need to be customized in advance and installed properly.

3. Solid wood flooring
When laying solid wood flooring, in addition to leveling the cement floor, it is also necessary to lay a dragon skeleton, embed insecticides, calculate the materials used, and reserve certain expansion joints.
