Liimpaigaldus
Liimpaigaldus refers to the method of installing flooring materials using adhesive. This technique is commonly employed for a variety of floor coverings, including vinyl, linoleum, laminate, engineered wood, and carpet tiles. The process involves preparing the subfloor to ensure it is clean, dry, and level. A specialized adhesive, appropriate for the specific flooring material and subfloor type, is then applied evenly across the surface. This is often done using a trowel with a specific notch pattern to control the amount of adhesive. The flooring material is then laid into the wet adhesive, typically starting from one edge of the room and working outwards. Pressure is applied to ensure good contact between the flooring and the subfloor, often with a heavy roller. This helps to remove any air bubbles and create a strong, lasting bond. The type of adhesive used is crucial for the success of liimpaigaldus, with different formulations designed for varying humidity levels, temperature conditions, and specific material compatibility. Proper curing time for the adhesive is also essential for achieving optimal adhesion and durability. Liimpaigaldus can offer a seamless finish and is often chosen for its aesthetic appeal and ease of maintenance.
