Floor Preparation Before Installation
Proper floor preparation is essential before laying any new flooring — whether it’s tiles, wood, laminate, or vinyl. The new floor will only be as good as the surface beneath it
Why it matters
A level, clean, and stable subfloor prevents problems like uneven surfaces, squeaks, cracking, and lifting later on
Main methods
- Self-leveling compound: A pourable mix used to smooth minor dips or bumps on concrete or plywood floors.
- Screeding: A sand-cement layer applied to correct deeper unevenness or embed heating pipes.
- Plywood fitting: Sheets fixed over timber floors to create a flat, rigid base for new flooring.
Key steps
- 1. Remove old coverings and clean thoroughly.
- 2.Check for damage or moisture and repair as needed.
- 3.Level the floor using the suitable method.
- 4.Let it cure or dry completely before installing new flooring.
In short
A flat, solid, and dry floor base ensures your new floor looks great and lasts longer — good preparation means no costly fixes later.
