Traditionally, the parquet is laid in three ways: “Christmas tree”, “Vietnamese” and “deck” pattern. The most common way is the «Christmas tree». The flooring of the Parquet «Christmas trees» begins with the lighthouse «Christmas tree». This is done in this way: the cord stretches in the center of the room and the lighthouse “Christmas tree” is laid regarding its direction from the wall or along the axial line. The first row of parquet, to adjust the pattern, is made without the use of mastic or glue, dry. Those parquet strips that are located against the wall, before laying, you need to cut at an angle of 45 °. The gap between them and the wall should be 1.5 — 2 centimeters.
