Stairs are an indispensable architectural element in some duplex or LOFT apartment houses. As the living room or bedroom is usually connected, many of the stairs use the floor as a surface material. But do you know? Stairs Flooring is the most complex part of the floor covering. A slight carelessness can lead to a large seam between the floors, which may result in inconsistent symmetry of the colors and can easily affect the appearance and even result in rework. So, what are the links that cannot be ignored in the installation of staircase floors? What are the responsibilities of the owner? See expert opinion.
Floor selection
Broader floor is better
Some owners think that the staircase can only be paved with laminate flooring, but experts pointed out that according to the different types of houses and stairs, through the adjustment of the installation method, reinforced flooring, three-layer solid wood composite flooring, multi-layer solid wood composite flooring, solid wood flooring, etc. Stairs paving materials, but the width of the floor is particular about. According to experts, the width of the stairs is generally 23-25cm, and the height is about 18-20cm. The floor lengths and widths of various categories are inconsistent. Taking the laminate flooring as an example, the width of each floor is about 19.5 cm. If a 25 cm wide and 18 cm high staircase is installed, the floor is sufficient to install the facade. However, the plane of the stairs is not wide enough and it needs to be cut and spliced. If the floor is small, the width and height of the floor can not meet the needs of the stairs, and the amount of splicing is relatively large. After the installation, not only the joints are too unsightly, but also the joints in the course of use are likely to be cracked. It is recommended to buy a floor with a relatively wide web based on the width and height of the stairs.

Fixed is the key link
There is not much difference in the basic paving mode between the staircase floor and the ground floor: the three-layer solid wood composite floor, the multi-layer solid wood composite floor and the reinforced floor use floating paving; the solid wood floor and the single solid wood floor adopt the method of playing the keel; the soft wood Floors, bamboo floors or multi-layer solid wood laminates or laminate floorings can also be plastered on stairs. It should be noted that the stair floor must withstand the forces of people walking up and down and need to be firmly fixed on the stairs. The fixing methods mainly include nailing and glueing.
If it is a laminate flooring or engineered wood flooring, it can be laid directly on the stairs by laying a 3mm floor mat; if it is a solid wood floor, the keel can be struck on the stairs first, a layer of wood can be laid on the keel, and then the elastic glue can be used. Connect it, or fix it with a pneumatic stud or keel nail. The method of sticking is relatively economical and practical, and the construction is relatively simple and convenient. Although the nailing method is laborious when used for paving, it is beautiful and durable, and the performance is stable. It is also convenient to replace the floor in the later period.
Paving steps
Measuring and cutting need to be precise
After the installation method is selected, the installation of the staircase floor can begin. The installation worker first needs to measure the flatness of the stairs, and an error of more than 3 mm per meter needs to be leveled first. The installation of stairs is generally installed from the bottom up, so that the operation is relatively easy, and the workers can also check the degree of compression of the staircase floor when walking up and down to see if it meets the installation specifications.
The first level of the stairs is the facade, which requires the workers to take into account the expansion and contraction rate of the floor when installing the floor. When the floor pavement extends to the facade, the facade of the facade and the flat floor have enough space. After the façade floor is stuck on the flat floor, the next step of the stair floor can be paved. At the intersection of the flat floor and the facade floor, some companies use a 45-degree angle to fix the splicing.
Later, when installing flat floor, it is often encountered that the floor needs to be cut and assembled. This is highly related to the worker's measurement level. If the line is not measured at the time of cutting, the stitching seam will be too large. When cutting the floor, if the workers cut inaccurately, it will lead to a noticeable difference in the floor after the installation, which will seriously affect the appearance.
Due to the large number of joints in the floor of the staircase, the joints are also different in size: For example, the gap between the floor and the facade floor must not exceed 0.5 mm; the gap between the plane or facade and the wall and the skirting board should be less than 1 mm; floor and floor The joints of the surface can not exceed 0.2mm, and solid wood floors cannot exceed 0.5mm.
Attrition rate
Due to the stairs floor
The floor covering will involve the problem of the loss rate. The staircase floor needs to be spliced ​​in multiple places. Many people will find that the loss rate is relatively large. In actual fact, the pavement loss rate of the staircase floor differs depending on the stairs and the floor, that is, the fit of the floor and the stairs. If the width of the floor can meet the requirements of a facade or plane of a stair, or it can be reused after being cut, its loss rate is not necessarily high. In addition, workers will save floors to the greatest extent according to the different paving directions of the stairs. In general, the loss rate is about 2%-15%.
