Planning repair of floor, it is worth studying the market of the offered finishing materials. It will be quite good to study quality, the stated properties, operation term, level of resistance to mechanical damages. More often persons interested to have strong and at the same time beautiful floor stop the choice on two options: engineering board and parquet in spite of the fact that each of them has number of merits and demerits.
Engineering board
This recently appeared floor covering belonging to the class of wooden. Plates of this covering are two-layer. The main layer is carried out from natural breeds of wood. Thickness of front layer is 1 cm. Floor which is laid out by such material always gives in to restoration by grinding. Processing surfaces by means of shleyfmashina it is possible to achieve different effect in registration. After the carried-out works, it is almost impossible to see difference between engineering covering and massive board. Naturally, similar material will help to reduce many times costs of whole tree, that is it is not necessary to spend a lot of money for achievement of certain result.
The base layer of this covering is made of plywood of the highest quality, having internal and external has spent on drink that gives to this material stability, thickness of inside layer is also equal to 1 cm. Therefore, this material is much less sensitive to sharp temperature drops and changes of air humidity. The engineering board has various sizes. Parquet generally is issued in certain modifications.
The engineering board is rather economic, the iznosostoyka, is not whimsical at all when mounting. In it the high quality, natural properties of tree, simplicity, stability of laying, the widest design decisions are connected.
Such board can be used safely on heated floors, only at the same time the mode of heating has to be sparing, uniformly distributed on the area. It can also be laid on the concrete floor.
Comparative characteristics of parquet board and engineering
The first and main sign of distinction consists in thickness of useful layer of wood. Parquet – 0.4 cm; engineering – 0.4-0.8 cm therefore the engineering board can be exposed to restoration of layer of wood, being varnished numerous quantity. Such size of thickness gives the chance of processing of surface of floor for creation of special effect and beauty. The following and much important sign of distinction of materials is the size.
Forms of release of parquet board are limited what you will not tell about engineering, thanks to multiple layers of material.
The parquet board is less steady and less strong at the expense of bigger probability of "material game". Engineering it is considered more natural, besides in it completely there is no possibility of accumulation of static electricity on surface. Of course, making the choice, it is worth being guided also by the expenses. Speaking about cost, the price category for engineering board is a little higher, but it is justified by large amount of advantages.
