â‘ Moisture content : the required standard for ordinary ground is less than 20%, and the required standard for geothermal floors is less than 10%
➜ ②Floor flatness : if it is not level, it needs to be flattened with a spatula, if it is serious, it needs to be re-leveled or self-leveling
➜ ③Whether the ground is solid : hit the ground with the handle of a screwdriver or a hammer to check whether the ground is hollow or peeling
➜ ④Whether there are termites in the environment : carefully observe whether there are termites around the room and furniture, and perform inspection and prevention projects
➜ ⑤ Avoid cross-mixing operations : Floor paving should be done after the completion and acceptance of concealed ground works, ceiling works, etc.

➤ ➤After completing the preliminary inspection work, you can start floor paving:
1. Ground finishing: clean up the building residues on the ground, preset door height <10%
2. Open skirting holes: the hole distance is 500mm±10mm, the hole diameter should be 3-5mm smaller than the diameter of the wooden wedge <10%
3. Thoroughly clean the floor hygiene: do not underestimate this problem, the cleanliness of the floor is very important
4. Laying moisture-proof film: Lay a 0.2mm thick moisture-proof film; overlap the joints by 200mm, and seal them tightly with tape, and they need to be lifted up by 50-60mm against the wall
5. Laying the floor mats: the floor mats cannot be overlapped, the joints are sealed with 60mm wide tape, and the surrounding sides are 30-50mm, and the skirting line shall not exceed the standard
6. Pre-select color separation and test paving: there is a color difference problem, you need to distinguish between colors and communicate to reach a paving consensus before paving
7. The pavement room starts from the upper left corner: the female tenon of the floor is leaning against the wall, and 8-12mm reserved seams should be reserved for fixing objects such as walls and water pipes.
