Despite the fact that laminate floors are becoming more and more popular every day, which can be easily and simply laid indoors in a matter of hours, natural wood parquet is not going to give up its position at all. Most often, laminate flooring replaces linoleum or solid wood floors in modern interiors. And parquet is chosen by those who appreciate natural materials and classic style. And even those who are tired of the herringbone parquet in the Soviet institutions can choose the now fashionable deck laying of large slats or shallow parquet with a mosaic border and sockets in the center of the room.

It is quite difficult to repair and change the flooring throughout the apartment, first of all you are faced with the problem of where to put the furniture. To do this, you can rent a temporary storage warehouse, which provides its own space not only for the needs of private businesses and the storage of goods, but also for storing things, for example, during repairs.

For flooring, it is worth inviting craftsmen, but if you like to do everything with your own hands, then you can take the risk and do this work yourself. How I did it. for example, my husband. There are several ways to fix parquet slats, let's look at how to lay parquet with nails on a rough floor made of boards or plywood boards.

Parquet is laid on a boardwalk (rough floor), which is firmly nailed to wooden logs, while the boards and logs are thoroughly cleaned of dust and dirt and dried. Instead of boards, you can use plywood sheets.
The distance between the logs is chosen based on the thickness of the flooring boards, but not more than 800mm. The base must be flat. The control is carried out using a 2 m long rail. The gap between the rail and the base should not exceed 3 mm.

Parquet slats are fixed with nails with a diameter of 2 mm and a length of 40 mm. If the length of the bar is less than 300mm, then two nails are hammered into the longitudinal edge, and if it is more than 300mm – three. One nail is hammered into the end face.
Parquet can be laid in various patterns (carpet, square, snake, herringbone, line, unfolded square). The snake should be laid so that the location of the ends of the piece parquet does not coincide with the joints of the flooring boards.

It should be noted that in the snake the number of slats along the width of the base must be even. To lay herringbone parquet, the base is divided into two equal parts, two nails are driven into the middle and a rope (line, wire) is stretched along which the first two rows are laid, the so-called lighthouse herringbone. The rest of the pattern will be built from it.

First, the parquet is laid without nails. The slats are nailed in pairs, rigidly fixing with the foot. First, nails are hammered from the longitudinal side of the bar, and then from the end side. The wall strips are cut off so that they do not reach the wall by 15-20 mm. Subsequently, this gap will be closed with a skirting board.
