Laying wooden flooring directly on ceramic tiles is both cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing
I believe many people used to install ceramic tiles in their homes, but they wanted to change the floor after renovating, but they didn't know how to do it. At that time, when we were renovating our house, we also didn't know how to do it. Later, we pried the tiles open and installed them again. After reading the neighbors' decoration methods, we regretted knowing it was too late. More and more people are directly laying wooden floors on ceramic tiles. It's too clever. The master nodded and praised it, and after reading it, he wanted to go home and reinstall it.
Can wooden floors be directly laid on ceramic tiles?
My neighbor's house was recently renovating, and I thought it was not feasible to directly lay the floor with tiles. However, the neighbor's workers told me that all they had to do was remove the skirting line and then polish it to lay it. However, before starting construction, it was important to handle it properly, otherwise the subsequent processes would be difficult to complete. At that time, I asked a neighbor's worker if laying tiles would increase the weight of the house. The worker told me that there was no need to worry about the weight of the tiles, as the load-bearing capacity of the house was not yet poor enough to fully support the weight of the tiles
What are the benefits of directly laying wooden flooring on ceramic tiles?
The step of leveling the ground is omitted. Generally, when laying the floor, the ground needs to be leveled first. If you directly lay the wooden floor on the tiles, the leveling cost is saved. The cost of labor and auxiliary materials is generally one-third higher than that of wooden floors for tile laying and renovation. If the original tiles are removed first and then the wooden floor is re laid, an additional half of the decoration cost will be spent.
The step of directly laying a wooden floor on a ceramic tile is to pry off all the skirting lines of the tile first. Because the floor needs to have gaps around it due to expansion factors and cannot be laid against the wall, a gap of approximately 5mm should be left around when laying. Then use the skirting line of composite flooring to nail the wall to cover the gaps. The place where the door passes is fixed with screws on a copper strip. When installing screws on the copper strip, it is important to avoid drilling into buried electrical wires and water pipes in cement.
The height of the door and the ground, and whether the door can be closed with a wooden floor. If the height of the wooden door is not enough, the master will help to use a plane to plane the wooden door. Check if the floor tiles are empty and loose, and if some parts are shoveled up, use cement sand to level them. It will not affect the service life of the floor in the future.
