What to do if creaking floors Bashny.Net

The creaking of wooden floors is a very common phenomenon. Floors can creak like old houses and in new buildings. It is unlikely that someone can like that sound. Before you decide how to get rid of the squeak, you need to find out where it comes from.



What to do when the creaking floors?The creaking is a result of deformation, deflection or bending of the tree under load from coming on the floorboards of the person. The source can be not only the Board but the lag and what they are put, and even nails. But if creaking already tired finally, it's time to remove the cause.You don't have to replace all the floors. This labor-intensive process requires considerable material costs. For starters, you can try to make the necessary repairs in place the appearance of a scratch.

But first you need to trace the source of that sound. If the apparent deflection of the Board is not seen, can be laid at her mirror, point it to the light and observe the light beam, stepping on Board in several places. Depending on the amplitude of the reflected light is determined by the location of the deflection. Preferably the same way to "diagnose" the whole floor, putting a mirror on a long Board, put across boards. Squeaking on a Board, and swing all the boards, and sooner or later they will also start to squeak.

Then you need to calculate the location of the Arab League. It is necessary to find and mark all the nails. Because boards nailed to the joists, so the nails will be discovered. You can use a magnet. With careful inspection you might find a nail, which issued creaking sounds. If a nail is found, the piercer, nail set or any intermediate piece with which you need to drown nails in the area of the squeak.

To eliminate squeaks, you can still strengthen the Board with screws. Found on the nails referred to a log with the help of lace, and at intervals of about 30 centimeters Wertham screws. The strengthening of the floor with screws will be effective if it sags in several places. As the norm of the distance between the joists should be about 40 inches, then back down by a lace to a distance that is a multiple of the norm and screw fasteners. If the squeak disappears, but the deflection in the floor is still there, you can pin yourself lagi. To do this, the Board is drilled diameter of the hole for the cap screw to the joists through the hole screwed to the screw or anchor up to the plate. The fastener forms a focus in the concrete slab, thereby providing additional support and leveling the trough. Of course, the overlap, which rotted the screws will not be able to keep. In this case, open the floor and repair the creaking plot.



If creaking floors because raccogliete is that the floors begin to squeak when they crack between the boards cracks are formed. These floors have to drag. Tear off the boards, remove them from the old nails, turn them around and leave on the spot. Then check the quality of the installation log. If the problem only in the boards, you can start laying. First, the wall is fixed to the first Board and then it is drawn second, and so on all boards. After all the boards are tight to each other, it is possible to hammer in nails or screw in screws. It is better to use screws because they will not squeak. Can you advise the Central Board to move to the edge of the floor, and the deadline (they have less wear and tear) put in the middle. Boards are worn, it is better to turn face down and a normal fit as it is. Formed after lugging the boards, the gap established an additional Board. Then on the tapered floors is better to lay the sheet material to avoid sanding old boards.



It is not necessary to apply the method of healing a squeaky floor with a thin plate (wedge), hammering it between the floorboards. Even if it is glued, in the process of operation of the Board under load will push it and then begin to squeak is not only boards but also the wedge. And the squeaking will become louder.

Of course, you well imagine that, repairing a small area of floor, no need to wait for a miracle, suscribete maybe in another place. From this we can conclude that if the creak overcame you, it's time to make repairs!
