Installation of Country Floorboards - Easy as Pie
The country floorboards can be laid floating or glued down. The practical click system, which most country floorboards are equipped with, allows even laypersons to easily lay the parquet floating.
"Floating" means that the boards are clicked together on an impact sound insulation without the need for glue.
The impact sound insulation is an absolute must. It levels out irregularities in the subfloor so that the floor lies "flush," and ensures that there is no noise disturbance in your own rooms or in the apartments above or below.
Parquet on a solid impact sound insulation is up to three times (3x !!!) quieter than without.
If you want to move, the country floorboards and the impact sound insulation can be easily disassembled.
To give the parquet floor the room to "breathe," the wooden planks must be shortened at the walls, leaving a so-called expansion joint. This is covered by the baseboard and thus invisible.
It allows the parquet floor to function as a healthy humidity regulator throughout the year without you noticing anything. Enjoy the newfound living quality on your dream parquet. We offer you the best possible service at Parkettkaiser. Oak parquet oiled, the classic among parquet floors.
