Floating Floors is another addition in the long list of innovative flooring.
There is no end to the demands for novelty in flooring concept and equally
matching is the answer from the architects who have introduced commercial
flooring, parquetry flooring, bamboo flooring and now floating floors. This is
the name of a particular method of floor installation applied efficiently to
create stable, durable and stylish floors. This technology actually allows a
floor float on another floor and the top surface acts as a lamination on the
base floor or the sub-floor. Timber planks are used for this purpose to produce
floors to suit specific purposes.
Timber planks are always preferred by both house owners and the architects as most acceptable flooring material for their beautiful texture and natural looks. Generally wooden planks are glued or nailed to the base or any sub-floor to keep it fixed for ever. But the top surface and its stability and smoothness depended on the sub-surface on which it is fixed. Sometimes the top layer bended and became bouncy as the layer under it was destabilized. In the floating method no glue or adhesive or nail is used as the two surfaces are not fixed to each other. Rather they are allowed to remain separate and yet together by joining them in the corners and borders by a click-lock method. After the planks are cut to size, locking joints are created at corners or sides where small grooves are made so that the protruding wooden head of one surface is inserted into the socket of another by pressure.
Floating Floors allow required vacuum between the two layers so that they can adjust with the uneven and unsynchronized expansion and contraction of each other. You may opt for very thin separators in between so that the floor becomes completely vibration proof. This type of floors is best suited for libraries, sound recording rooms and stages of dance and drama performances. These floors give you soft walking experience and noiseless existence.
Decent floors are in demand for a long time and designers experiment with various options to produce exciting flooring ideas. Timber tops are also very popular as no other flooring material has matched up to timber and its beauty and durability. But precious timber has constrained every one's purse. That is why the floor has been divided into two with the lower layer being cheap hard wood and the top giving a feel of genuine timber. This basic idea and some value added experiments together have produced Floating Floors. This is some sort of lamination on your basic floor. Installation of floating floors has to be done by specialists as the method at work is very important. The only negative point of this system is that your timber does not retain any resale value. But this floor will serve you for ages if you sand and coat the top periodically.
