Wood Flooring - Advice For Laying Hardwood Flooring
The task has to be preceded with a complete analysis of the site for the moisture content present in the air and the floor where the wood floor has to be laid. The presence of any kind of humidity in the solid wood flooring can be a cause of worry at all times. With the help of the breathable polythene membrane sheets below the dried plywood or chipboard helps in getting rid of the additional moisture from the kiln dried boards. These type of flooring kiln dried for 8 12 moisture level is suitable for British homes and all other homes having a humidity maintenance with a central heating system of 40 50 is best. Always ensure that the property has a good DPM in place and any air bricks are not blocked. The moisture wall will help you to keep it under control by making use on the concrete surface. You should be guided by the specialized advise of your fitter in making use of this.
The hardwood flooring boards can be affixed to the solid floor dried to an extent of 5 by making use of the PU Primer. Apart from getting the best quality of adhesives for your wood flooring a lot of suppliers even assist in making the right choice for the task. One point to remember is that a proper quality of the concrete is very essential.e. Should not disintegrate or break up. The unclean surfaces of the concrete must be cleaned with the help of primers so that there is better sticking. You must make use of the Leveling compound also if the newly laid wood flooring is not even.
Secrete nailing to Plywood / Chipboard or Batons/Joists
Always ensure that the sub base is securely fitted and a correct thickness is used. The ply or the chipboard has to be picked up of a solid quality and variety.
It is best to make use of the tongue and grooved ends for the timber so that they are most suited for secret nailing in the sub floor. The nail is fixed in such a manner that it is at 45 degrees and helps in the fixture of the next board very easily. This task can be ideally completed making use of he porta nailer. The boards can be 165mm x 20mm width so that it can provide as much normal interchange as possible. Just to keep the boards secured in one place your fitter can fix it up by using the glue and nails on either plywood or chipboard.
For solid wood flooring boards over and at 165mm x 20mm width face fixing can be used. This method makes use of the rivets to conjoin the floorboard into the sub floor or baton. In order to have the secret nailing this technique is used on the floorboards and also acknowledged as screw and plugging. It isn't recommended to use hardwood flooring boards as floating floors.
Fitting a new solid hardwood floor to an existing floor
Whether it be old flooring boards, sterling board, plywood or chipboard (chipboard does not hold a nail as other floor types and will need gluing and nailing).When fitting to existing floorboards these should be well fixed down, any high points sanded out and all nails punched below the surface. If you are laying the ground floor it is better to use a non polythene vapor barrier. After this the new floor gets laid with the help of the secret nail at 90 or 45 on the already present floor.
Where, for aesthetic reasons, it is desirable to lay the new wood flooring in the same direction as the old floor a layer of at least 6mm grade plywood can be firmly fixed down and the new floor secret nailed with a nail long enough to penetrate the plywood and into the old floor. In order to control the expansion and contraction of the softwood floor one can make use of the plywood along with the new wood flooring.
Expansion
All wood flooring will expand and contract over the course of the year. It is usual that these will tend to expand in the summer due to humidity and air being sucked by the boards and then get contracted in winter as the moisture gets dried from the boards. Kiln drying to 8-12% moisture content will minimise excessive movement.
The floor should be spaced in such a way that there is at least 15 20mm gap for allowing expansion. Due to the feature of woods expansive capacity it is better to leave the places near the columns and fireplaces. The most ideal thing to make use of near the fireplaces and the columns is the Cork strip that allows for its expansion and flexibility. However, solid wood flooring laid in winter will expand in the summer and may require additional expansion to be allowed for across the width of the floor.
ACCLIMATISATION
Acclimatising wood flooring, the boards should be separated and laid loosely to enable the air to circulate around them. This procedure should be located in the area where it is to be installed to enable it to "acclimatise" or adjust its moisture content to correspond with its surroundings. Summer time temperatures and humidity levels are high and depending on site conditions your wood flooring could be fitted straight away.

What do you think of the british army camouflage pattern?
If Im honest i dont like the idea of phasing out the DPM pattern that has existed as tradition within the britsh army for 40 years. I agree with the idea of using the design in afghanistan, where it can go from desert to lush greenery within a mile but why phase out the DPM pattern design at home? It just doesn't feel 'british' and too 'american' for my liking.
The uniforms are the same, it's just in MultiCam now. Crye's MultiCam is not in wide use with other militaries; the British military will be the first to use it as their standard camouflage. I'm not sure how that makes it too 'American' since the US has not started using it widely until this year. Even then, MultiCam is only issued to US soldiers in Afghanistan. Every where else we use UCP and MARPAT.
MultiCam is a very good pattern. British soldiers are quite lucky that they are the first ones to be adopting it. I wish we had it instead of crappy UCP.
