Every day a massive board is gaining more and more popularity. Materials such as piece parquet, parquet board and laminate have always been in demand among customers and designers. However, now their eyes are increasingly falling on a massive board. There is no doubt about many of its advantages, but it is worthwhile to figure out whether everything is really so good.
It is clear from the name that a massive board is a floor covering, which is a wood array. The width usually reaches 15-20 cm, and the length is from 60 to 300 cm. Most often, oak, ash, larch, birch and exotic rocks are used for the manufacture of boards.
The main advantage of such material over the parquet board is that it consists of a whole woody piece, instead of three layers that are glued together, and only the last is valuable. The massive board is famous for such excellent properties as sound insulation and low thermal conductivity. The first is ensured by the fact that the material consists entirely of wood. For apartments, such a characteristic is considered an important. The second property allows you to perfectly maintain heat in the house and save electricity. The absence of formaldehyde resins and other harmful substances in the production process of a massive board make such material to ecological.
Please note that massive boards can be purchased and through the Internet without leaving the house on the website www. Ya-Magazin. ru by clicking on the link www. Ya-Magazin. ru/massivnaya_doska.
Unfortunately, the board has a number of negative qualities. First of all, it is worth noting a very difficult process of laying the floor. It is impossible to put such a material on your own and not even every master will be able to qualitatively cope with such work. The boards have a fairly large size, but despite this, very stringent requirements are imposed on styling. The work begins with the fact that a boardwalk or screed is prepared, then it is necessary to lay a plywood sprinkled with squares 70 by 70 on it. It must be attached to the screed and polished. We lay a massive board on glue and fasten with self -tapping screws to the faner. You can only lay styling on a perfectly smooth floor, in the case, even with drops of 2 mm/2 m, it will creak and walk.
The humidity in the room should not be high, since the screed takes time to dry well. Glue should also be used not simple, but a special two-component. A bloodstream is possible, but it is characterized by increased complexity. By the way, the cost of such work for professionals ranges at 1000 rubles/1 sq. m.
On sale you can find a board processed with protective varnish, as well as requiring a special coating, which is varnish or oil. The average cost of the material is 3500 rubles/1kv. m. For the price, a massive board exceeds a laminate and a parquet board and approximately along with a piece parquet. In addition to everything, the board requires constant and specific care. It cannot be heated, abrasive and high humidity.
