What is a castle quartzvinyl
Castle quartzvinyl is a flooring, which consists mainly of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and quartz sand (SPC).

Castle quartzvinyl is flexible tiles that are interconnected by locks. For reliability, they can also be glued to the floor. The castle quartzvinin fits perfectly into the modern design of the interior of the apartment, giving the room a stylish and comfortable look due to its realistic imitation of the texture of natural wood.

By the way: Unlike laminate, quartzvinyl is not afraid of moisture, and it can be used with a warm floor. Outwardly, these flooring are similar, but these are 2 fundamentally different material.

How to put quartzvinyl
The installation of quartzvinil can be divided into several stages.

Stage 1. Checking and preparing the floor base
Quartzvinyl is laid on a screed or a bulk floor. Before installation, the surface should be checked for the presence of irregularities, tubercles and roughnesses. It is better to check the base under the side light using Losev lamp. She will show even small errors.

If there are flaws, they must be removed with a spatula, sandpaper or a grinding machine.

The difference of the screed or bulk floor should not exceed 2 mm per 1 m of the surface.

If quartzvinyl is laid on a screed, it should be cleaned of dust and primed.

The bulk floor is smooth, and it does not need to be primed, just wipe it from dust.
By the way: When laying quartzvinil, it is not necessary to use the substrate.
Stage 2. Laying of castle quartzvinil on the floor
Before laying quartzvinil, it is necessary to give him time so that he adapts to room temperature. To do this, leave packs with material in a horizontal position for 24 hours, folding them in small piles. This will allow quartzvinil to achieve room temperature. If the quartzvinel must be laid on the warm floor, you should turn off the heating system a day before the start of work. This is necessary so that the base is the same temperature as the material itself.

In order for quartzvinyl to deform after laying, a gap of 5 to 10 mm should be made around the perimeter.

To do this, put on the perimeter, rickets plates are placed. They have the same thickness and are ideal for creating a gap.

Quartzvinyl tiles can be laid along, across and a Christmas tree.

To know exactly how to arrange a quartzvinyl, professionals pre -draw a floor plan with the indication of the direction of the layout.

The styling should start from the most prominent place, so that the last row in the room with cut edges is under furniture and does not catch the eye.

If you need to install quartzvinyl in several rooms without thresholds, then the layout begins with the longest wall and go from the corridor to the room.

First, tiles are placed in a row and attached to each other.

Next, a glue-fixer is applied to the base of the floor with a thin layer with a spatula. After a row, they are installed from quartzvinil on glue and pressed to the floor. To do this, you can roll quartzvinyl with a roller or knock on a rubber kiyanka. After 20 minutes, when the glue dries, you can start laying the next row.

The next row should begin not with the whole, but with half of the quartzvinil tile.
It can be ½ or ⅓ part of the dick. Quartzvinyl can be cut off using an office knife. To do this, make an incision along which the tile is broken and cut in a folded state.

The tile is installed in the castle of the previous row at an angle of 45 degrees. Next, they knock on it with a kiyanka on the side so that the tile enters the groove tightly.

After that, the next dick in the row is mounted. It is connected not only with the previous row, but also with the first tile in a new row. Thus, every subsequent row is gathering.

By the way: Before laying quartzvinyl tiles, it is important to verify the quality of the lock. If the lock is broken or deformed, the seam can turn out to be uneven, and over time, the tile can disperse. Such tiles should be postponed and not used.

It is necessary to carefully check each row of quartzvinyl tiles for gaps. If such gaps are detected, they should be eliminated. To do this, you can carefully knock on the quartzvinil on the side so that the locks come together.

If after that quartzvinyl still does not get up tightly, perhaps the garbage is stuck in the castle between the tiles. In this case, you need to pull out the tile and check the lock for the presence of foreign objects.

To cut quartzvinyl tiles to complex angles, pipes or other obstacles, first you need to make a paper template. According to this template, it will be possible to cut the tile.

The last row in the room may not be as wide as the first, so the tiles will have to be cut along. To do this, it is important to fix it securely so that the cut is even.
Stage 3.
After laying the quartzvinyl coating, there should be no gaps between the tiles. It is important to check each row of the floor to make sure that there are no voids or hillocks. It is also necessary to check the technical seam at each wall to make sure that it did not deviate from the initial values. This seam is closed with a cork compensator.
