Water-resistant chipboard decking: that is, selection, application

Specialized manufacturers are constantly improving the parameters of building materials. They improve the ease of installation, durability and environmental performance, while optimizing their costs. Proper application of new developments simplifies work operations, helping to save time and money. To find out how to apply water-resistant chipboard shpuntirovannaya be sufficient to study the materials of the article.

What is water-resistant chipboard decking

The main drawback of the older types of wood-based panel is the ability to absorb moisture. Such a process deteriorates the insulating properties, durability, provokes latent defects. It is possible a significant change in the size. To address the shortcomings new polymeric compounds which prevent the penetration of water have been established. They also act as a binder base simultaneously. From the chips together with these additives under high temperature and pressure formed articles with the desired dimensions and characteristics.

Spikes and grooves on the ends simplify the assembly process. Coating obtained smooth, durable, with sealed joints. Listed below are the other advantages and benefits that can be used in practice:

• When tested by immersing the material absorbs no more than 8-10% of the water from its original volume per day. This figure is better as compared with other kinds of plates to 50%.
• Special impregnation provides increased resistance to biological effects. These chipboard do not create favorable conditions for the appearance of fungus, mildew.
• They contain no harmful components that are capable of degrade the composition of the atmosphere. It is therefore permissible to use the materials in living rooms, medical and educational institutions, kindergartens.
• Extra amenities, except under "tongue and groove", are relatively light weight and high strength. Since such products are not difficult to perform various manipulations without the involvement of assistants.
• They different democratic value. Even large projects with the use of such materials can be implemented inexpensively.

Resistance to stress and other external influences can create secure flooring, designed for long-term operation.

What practical problems are solved with the help of chipboard with a tongue

Next consider various options for the application material. It is suitable to perform the construction and finishing works.

Shpuntirovannuyu chipboard floor mounted on a wooden frame, heater. This material is suitable for the creation of Ties dry typeAnd other complex multi-layer structures.

From the obtained panels smooth vertical surfaces. They attached a plastic and wood paneling. They are suitable for the application layer decorative plastersticking Wallpaper. The internal space can be used for the construction of communications.

These plates (alone or in combination with other materials) to produce effective heat- and soundproofing. They are used to improve comfort, reduce operating costs.

They do not create an additional burden on the power building frame. When mounted in a ceiling structure useful lightness material, moisture resistance, excellent insulating characteristics.

Application technology waterproof chipboard decking floor

Photo	Procedure
	The simplest technique is laying flakeboards on concrete screed.
	Initially removed old fragile coating. Close up a gap in the interfloor plates of overlap. Bay screed, you can create high-quality base. Its flatness check using a spirit level.
	Moisture resistant chipboard floor in advance are transported into the room where the installation (1.5-2 days) will be performed. This time is necessary to adapt the product to specific temperature conditions. It is better to release them from their original packages.
	Concrete screed cover layer vapor barrier. Suitable polyethylene film. It is placed with a mutual overlapping of the sheets 15 to 20 cm.
	Plates are placed on the wall opposite the entrance doors into the room. For joining dense compounds "tongue and groove" used mallet blows. Use additional damping strip to prevent damage to the ends. The junction should get even, without distortions horizontally.
	Stitches are fixed with an adhesive composition based on a latex or PVA used. This will help ensure a reliable seal.
	Between the plates and the wall clog wedges so that the compensation was a free space of 8-12 mm. When the base is made of particleboard ready - top laid laminate, parquet, ceramic tile, Otherwise finishing flooring.

Manufacturers recommend perform working operations at temperatures above + 15 ° C. It is necessary to maintain relative humidity at a level of from 40% to 65%. It is necessary to eliminate drafts, that the conditions were the same until the completion of installation.

Note! If the base - wood, it is recommended to use a construction parchment paper to create a vapor barrier. It is placed with overlapping sheets of 8-12 cm, not less.

Installation can be accelerated with simultaneous elimination of "wet" processes, if we apply the scheme dry screed. Bearing structures in this case is not necessary to carefully align. Enough to close up the gap. Further, as in the first embodiment is deposited film of polyethylene.

Her fall asleep purified quartz sand, crushed expanded clay. They tend to create a layer from 4 to 6 cm. This surface should be compacted, leveled. Next polyethylene foam is laid and on it - shpuntirovannye chipboard.

Important! Remains plates installed in the next row. This installation makes economical use of building materials.

To improve the insulating properties, create a special layer. It should be safe to use modern mats of mineral fiber material.

The distance between these legs is set from 35 to 65 cm, depending on the anticipated loads. The corresponding correction is also made by selecting optimal thickness of the plates. When laying do displacement elements to the joints of the layers do not fall on one another. This strengthens the structure and prevents penetration of moisture. Chipboard screws fastened to the joists. Connections - adhesive.

Decorating the walls and ceilings

As the reviews, planed Moisture resistant particleboard is advantageous to use for finishing the interior partitions and supporting structures:

• These plates, in contrast to plasterIt installed without the use of complex "wet" processes.
• After mounting layer is ready for immediate use.
• It weighs a bit, so do not appear large load on the power frame of the building.
• The material does not contain harmful substances, allergens.
• It is not necessary to protect further impregnation and coating anti-corrosion compounds like wood and metal, respectively.

Plates are able to withstand heavy loads. It is used for mounting on the wall close fixturesAnd other bulky items. With a thickness of 22 mm for the ejection of the screw with a diameter of 5-6 mm of chipboard require more force 120 kg. In the vertical direction strength is even higher. Required load of more than 250 kg to break the integrity of the structure.

To create the decorative coating is applied paint, wallpaper, Ceramic tiles. Heavy elements adhered to the polymer compositions and cement-based. They have to create adhesion to the substrate is not less than 0.4-0.6 MPa. For finishing ceilings can find the best thin chipboard sheets (12 mm).

The distance between the beams, when securing the lasting overlapping set of 50 to 60 cm. The intervals set free insulation materials.

Prices grooved moisture resistant chipboard: Market Review

The following table shows the current range of the largest domestic producers ( "Plant Nevsky Laminate"). This company produces the appropriate construction materials under the brand name QUICKDECK.

Particleboard cost depends not only on the thickness. Value has as further finishing. It improves the appearance, protection against external influences.

Note! If you wish to purchase chipboard for furniture, the price per page is about the same. To save money, you can choose standard products which are not protected from moisture. Necessarily it is necessary to ensure that no hazardous components that can degrade the structure of the room air.

Conclusions and further recommendations

To estimate the cost of a particular project study costs in general. For comparison plaster with subsequent painting, and other alternative technologies.

After careful analysis is not difficult to verify the non-consumer characteristics of this material.
