An annoying floor defect such as a creak is unpleasant in any case. It can be caused by anything: initially incorrect installation, poor-quality material, split planks, loose nails, leakage, dry parquet, uneven screed under the boards, which leads to distortion in the joints. It definitely needs to do something about it. Because not only is the squeak unbearable to the ear, it can also mean that the coating wears out quickly.
Anything with a wooden component will creak due to various problems. In the descending price category, these are parquet, floorboard, parquet board, veneer board, laminate. How to ensure that the floor does not disappoint will be discussed further.
Option 1. Cardinal
Complete replacement of a wooden floor to the base is an expensive and long option, but overall the most advantageous. The squeak will go away for a long time, and walking on the floor will only bring pleasure - physical and aesthetic. Especially if it is a soft cork floor or self-leveling floor.
Option 2. Good old
If there is no desire to waste time and energy, you can do the most in a simple way- purchase a carpet. There are a great many of them on the market - large and small, thick and thin, expensive and cheap. With its soundproofing effect, this option flooring will slightly weaken the nasty sound. Naturally, the creak will remain, but because of the carpet it will not be heard so much.
Option 3. Transfer
You can simply shift the boards by doing it yourself, or, much better, find craftsmen who are ready to take on this task. This is especially true if, during a leak, the floors are swollen, the boards are swollen and rub against each other. It is useless to dry them and wait for them to bounce back. The floor should be disassembled, the boards should be dried and re-adjusted, having previously ground in some places. Or replace those that are completely useless. The process is long, but effective.
Option 4. Backfill
Can eliminate squeak without loss appearance boards and without serious renovation works... If the boards rub against each other, then there are gaps and gaps. By filling them with graphite powder with talcum, it is possible to reduce the squeak level to a minimum. Another idea is to drive in wedges to close gaps as well.
Option 5. Filler
The space between the boards and logs can be filled polyurethane foam so that the creak disappears as soon as it hardens and fixes all loose elements. But this option is very short-lived - with a strong vibration amplitude, the foam is still deformed and destroyed.

The AlStroy company sells wall three-layer blocks at the best price in Russia. Houses built from three-layer blocks are quickly built, warm and durable. Such material appeared on the market some 15 years ago, but already in every settlement of Russia you can find houses built from heating blocks. What is a 3-layer block?This unique wall block was invented within the walls of the Leshchinikov Research Institute at the beginning of this century. Its uniqueness lies in the innovative technology that allows avoiding two time-consuming and expensive operations on the construction site - insulation and cladding. Within two weeks, a team of bricklayers erects a completely insulated and clad structure with an area of 150 m2. Previously, construction did not know such an intensive pace of building construction. Today, everyone can become the owner of a warm and beautiful stone house in a couple of months. Three-layer wall blocks received several synonymous names: heat-efficient, multi-layer, three-layer block, as well as polyblock. The stone insulation "sandwich" consists of three layers: facade, insulation, load-bearing. |
Price: from 104 rubles.To order |
We offer buy three-layer blocks in 12 front versions. Such a number of textures and colors will allow you to implement any exterior solution!
The first one - 400 x 400 x 190 mm, is suitable for the construction of buildings up to 4 storeys high. The front layer in it is 7 cm, the insulation layer is 18 cm, and the base, load-bearing layer is 15. Heat insulator - dense (M 25) polystyrene, securely fixed between the outer, expanded clay concrete layers by four six-millimeter (in diameter) rods made of basalt plastic. The connecting pins are designed for a breaking load of 4 tonnes! The second type of three-layer heat-wall blocks has the following dimensions - 300 x 400 x 190 mm. They are used in single-storey construction and when completing buildings. The dimensions of the layers here are somewhat different - bearing and insulation - 120 mm each, and front - 60 mm. It should be noted that a slight decrease in the thickness of each layer of three-layer expanded clay concrete blocks does not in the least affect the heat-saving characteristics of the material - its energy efficiency is quite high.
The laying of these stones is carried out using a traditional mortar, glue or a mixture thereof, taken in a ratio of 5: 1. The slight deviation of the linear dimensions of the three-layer building blocks, only +/- 1.5 mm per side, allows small vertical (0.6 cm) and horizontal (0.8 cm) seams to be made. To avoid cold bridges, all vertical seams are filled with special foam across the width of the insulation.
The tensile strength of the masonry of three-layer heat-efficient blocks under central compression is 140 kgf / cm2!
Among the people, this building material has another name - "miracle brick". After all, one could only dream of a warm, pre-fabricated house. Today, it is enough to read reviews about three-layer blocks to understand that such structures are really:
We give a guarantee for this building material for at least 50 years. But since in Europe expanded clay concrete houses more than 100 years, we are sure that the housing built from our three-layer wall heat-efficient blocks will last no less. And if you want to build just such a generic nest, buy inexpensive three-layer blocks. Call us at any time, find out about the cost of three-layer blocks and the price of a cottage that we are ready to build for you at any time of the year - even this is possible with a heating wall.
Our three-layer block, the price of which is perhaps the most attractive in Russia, will allow us to minimize the construction cost estimate. Buying high-quality three-layer blocks for building a house from the manufacturer will result in savings for the developer not only during the construction of housing, but also during its further operation. The absence of two additional operations (insulation and cladding) will lead to the fact that the cost of a house made of three-layer blocks will be more than 40% lower in comparison with a traditional brick structure.

The wholesale purchase of polyblocks will cost up to 30% less than the purchase of gas foam blocks, bricks and insulation. In addition, the cost of work on the beautification of the facade and insulation of the building will also add a considerable amount to the final estimate of the construction in the classical way. Facing blocks, the price of which is affordable for an average developer, will significantly save money on delivery - instead of three times delivery of building materials, it is enough to do it once. The AlStroy company sells heat blocks to all regions of Russia and organizes their delivery! For laying warm stone, no additional special equipment is required, which is a significant savings graph.
Three-layer block walls have proven in practice that a more heat-efficient material does not yet exist. Given the constantly growing cost of heating, such buildings store heat in cold weather 4 times more than an ordinary stone house. And in summer they are pleasantly cool. Savings on heating housing built from standard wall blocks with insulation is 30-35%.! Insulated brick house it will completely cool down in 3-4 days, and a building made of polyblocks will take 2 weeks to do this.
Houses made of this material allow you to save on bookmarking strip foundation up to 15%. Under multi-layer walls, a base is installed with a maximum width of 50 cm (block thickness plus 10 cm), while under a standard insulated and lined structure, a foundation with a width of 60-70 cm is needed.
In addition, three-layer building blocks are classified as lightweight building materials. This allows foundation pillars to be installed, which further saves the developer money. In comparison with the classic construction of insulated housing, labor costs for the construction of a polyblock building will decrease by 30-35%. After all, the need to insulate and veneer the facade in this case simply disappears. Well, one last thing. Three-layer wall heat-efficient blocks will "present" the developer with an additional room! If you compare useful area standard, 140 m2 brick, and the same, multi-layer block housing, it turns out that the second is 14 m2 more spacious. Narrower (but warmer) walls will increase living space by 10%.
