The importance of the base

Before installing a new floor, the condition of the subfloor is critical. In most cases, the preparation of the screed or the restoration of old tiles drives the total project cost more than the finishing material itself.

An uneven subfloor requires professional leveling, a vital step to prevent future cracks or surface irregularities. Never underestimate the preparation work, as it forms the very foundation for the longevity of your new floor.

Proper work upfront ensures perfect flatness and optimal adhesion for your chosen material.

Sound insulation and apartment living

If you live in an apartment building in Egg, sound insulation is paramount. Condominium regulations often impose strict standards regarding impact-sound protection.

Adding an insulation layer under your flooring is not just about acoustic comfort for your neighbors but is frequently a regulatory requirement.

It is advisable to check your building's bylaws before choosing your materials, ensuring that your selection meets the building's requirements while maintaining your desired style.

Compatibility with underfloor heating

Underfloor heating is common in modern or renovated homes. If your property in Egg is equipped with this, you must choose a compatible floor covering capable of handling heat with low thermal resistance.

Some materials insulate too much, significantly reducing heating efficiency and unnecessarily increasing your energy bills.

Choose materials with suitable thermal conductivity, such as ceramic tiles, natural stone, or specific types of parquet designed for installation over heated surfaces.

Budgeting and planning with RenoIndex

Budget planning is the most delicate part of any renovation. Between material purchases, professional installation costs, and technical surprises, it is easy to lose track of expenses. This is where the RenoIndex calculator proves valuable.

By entering the area and the desired flooring type, you get a realistic price range adapted to the local context.

This transparency allows you to better negotiate your quotes and prioritize your investments to transform your floor while staying within your overall budget.
