Professionals have always claimed that Tarket laminate is easy to work with. That is why it enjoys wide popularity among the population of our country. This trademark has been present on the international market for several years, however, in such a short time, only a small number of claims have been received.
Laminate Tarket. Preparing for styling
When it comes to any construction work, it is impossible to do it without a professional tool, including in this case. So, we need the following auxiliary materials:
- 3mm sound absorbing underlay.
- Waterproofing film.
- Electric jigsaw.
- Pencil, square.
- Expansion wedges.
Material preparation
Of course, in addition to working tools, you should also first take care of the material itself. The purchased Tarket laminate should be kept for two days in a room where the temperature is above 18 degrees, and the humidity varies from 30 to 60%. It is recommended to place material packs horizontally in one tier.
Preparing the base
- Most often, the preparation of the base consists in dismantling the previous coating, and you should get rid of literally everything: starting with the old linoleum and ending with the board. Before direct laying, it is recommended to leave a concrete screed. All cracks must be sealed and bumps removed.
- After dismantling the old floor, it's time to level the base. Experts recommend the use of self-leveling mortars.
- If the laminate is laid on a wooden base, emphasis should be placed on diagnosing its condition. Rotten boards are dismantled, weak material is strengthened or completely replaced.
-
To increase the overall rigidity of the future floor, it is recommended to pre-lay plywood with a thickness of no more than 15mm. It is important to note that in this case, when walking or other mechanical impact, the plywood should not bend, creak or deform. To avoid the subsequent appearance of mold, you can treat the material with a special antifungal solution.
Laying laminate Tarket
First of all, it is necessary to put a special waterproofing film. Then comes the soundproofing layer. Depending on your preferences, you can choose a cardboard, cork or polymer version. If the manufacturer indicated on the boxes with the material that a layer of noise insulation has already been applied to the laminate, it is not required to lay it additionally.
Laminate Tarket is laid exclusively floatingway, that is, without the use of additional fixation with the floor. The direction of the planks is recommended to be chosen along the longest wall in the room or away from the window. The installation of each bar should be accompanied by a characteristic click. There should always be a gap of approximately 10 mm between the canvas and the wall, which is fixed with special expansion wedges. At the final stage, they are removed, plinths are mounted, which are attached directly to the wall itself.
Laminate Tarket. Care
The floor should only be cleaned with a moderate amount of water. The use of cleaning agents with so-called abrasive particles is strictly prohibited. To avoid the appearance of stains, experts recommend using special gels and pastes that are sold in stores. Tarket laminate in this case will retain its brilliance and original quality for a long time.
