Now you have extra money to spend on a few home projects, what do you want to do with the flooring. Although they are sturdy enough, the floor does not have the appearance or other benefits you want. One method is to install new flooring using one of two design methods. Before choosing a clock lock floor or a floor with mortise and tenon design, you need to understand the following:
What are the characteristics of Click Lock flooring?
If you plan to manage the installation yourself, you will find this option easier to complete. Each part will quickly lock in place, allowing you to easily move across the entire floor. This solution does not require you to use any type of adhesive. Due to this advantage, there is no need to stop and apply glue or spend time wiping off excess products.
Due to changes in temperature and humidity throughout the year, this type of floor is unlikely to bend or have gaps. You can expect the surface to remain smooth. This makes it easier for the floor to maintain its aesthetic appearance without having to spend a lot of time on repairs. If a part needs to be replaced, it is not difficult to remove it and slide it into the new part.
How is the mortise and tenon design?
Although locking flooring is great in many applications, do not overlook the possibility of using mortise and tenon flooring. This type of floor does not need to float under some kind of floor, as these parts are thick enough to support the weight on their own. When planning to hire professionals to dismantle old flooring and replace it with new flooring, this is the best approach.
This design can maintain good performance even in extreme high temperature and humid environments. The possibility of cracks is relatively small, so you can save a lot of repair costs in the coming years.
Please note that this solution will involve using adhesive to seal the bond between each board. This is beneficial for you as it will help eliminate noise more effectively.
You can also use mortise and tenon flooring for more design options. For example, you may want to use wider wooden boards. The width of the locking floor usually does not exceed 120 millimeters. If your plan is to create a more rustic appearance at home, or if you want to preserve the appearance of the original wide panel flooring, then choosing mortise and tenon flooring is the best choice.
Before starting the project, please discuss your ideas with professionals and carefully listen to their suggestions. Request to view samples of different woods and understand your thoughts. Always compare prices and take this into account in project forecasting. You may find that the cost of hiring professionals to install mortise and tenon flooring is not as high as you expected.
