Achieve the Perfect Finish:

The Importance of Floor Preparation

Creating a Flawless Floor Begins Beneath the Surface

A flawless, long-lasting floor finish isn't achieved by the material or installation alone. Instead, it starts with an often-overlooked but crucial step: floor preparation. Ensuring your subfloor is clean, level, and appropriately treated can significantly extend the life of your flooring and enhance its appearance.

Ensures Adhesion and Durability

One of the primary reasons floor preparation is necessary is to ensure proper adhesion of the new flooring material to the subfloor. This involves removing any existing adhesives, coatings, dirt or other contaminants which can interfere with the bonding process. Properly prepared floors are more likely to yield a durable and long-lasting result, preventing potential problems such as buckling, shifting, or cracking of the new flooring.

Achieves a Level and Smooth Surface

A significant part of floor preparation involves making the surface as flat and smooth as possible. Any bumps, depressions, or uneven spots can cause visible and tangible imperfections in the final flooring. Depressions may lead to soft, spongy sections, while bumps can cause unsightly ridges or tripping hazards. Correctly levelling the floor results in a seamless, smooth finish and extends the lifespan of your flooring.

Prevents Moisture Damage

Especially important when installing flooring over a concrete subfloor, moisture mitigation is a critical part of floor prep. Concrete can hold moisture that, over time, could lead to mildew, warping, or other water-related damages. Applying moisture barriers during the floor preparation can protect the final floor covering from any harm associated with moisture.

Improves Aesthetic Outcome

A well-prepared floor is more likely to give an aesthetically pleasing outcome. Irrespective of the type of flooring used - tiles, carpet, hardwood, or epoxy, they all look better when laid on a well-prepared floor. More than just a preparatory step, floor preparation is an investment in the overall quality and sturdiness of your flooring project.
