Wooden floorboards with tongue and groove can be laid
using screws or adhesive. To secure floorboards to floor
joists, the floorboards must be at least 20 mm thick.
How to proceed:
Align the first row of floorboards with
the groove side to the wall. Ensure that you leave an
expansion gap of 10 to 15 mm.
The first row is fixed using nails. To
do so, strike the nails with a hammer vertically into the
wooden floorboards and secure them to the Joists.
For the next row, use a BOSCH Jigsaw to
saw the floorboards to the right length.
Fit the next row of floorboards. So
that the screws cannot be seen after the floor has been
laid, drill holes in the floorboards at a 45-degree angle
above the tongues.
To insert the screws, fit a bit
that matches the screws in the BOSCH Cordless Screwdriver
