The importance of the existing base

Before laying new flooring, it is crucial to assess the condition of the base. The existing screed or old tiles directly influence the necessary preparation.

If the surface is not perfectly level, leveling compound will be essential to ensure the durability of your installation. Often, these preparatory works are the main factor in total cost variation, much more than the price of the chosen material itself.

Never neglect this step, as a poor base can lead to warping or cracks in your new floor over time.

Rules for condominiums

Choosing high-performance acoustic underlay is often mandatory. Check these points with your management or the building's syndicate to avoid any conflict with neighbors or restoration costs imposed by the condominium rules after the installation is complete.

Compatibility with underfloor heating

The presence of underfloor heating imposes specific requirements when choosing your flooring. To optimize the energy efficiency of your system, prioritize materials with low thermal resistance that allow heat to pass through quickly.

Tiles and certain natural stones are excellent choices, as are certain parquet or vinyl types specifically certified for this usage.

Excessive insulation under the covering acts as a thermal barrier, reducing comfort and unnecessarily increasing your energy consumption during winter. Always consult the product technical data sheets before confirming your purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Which materials are suitable for renovation?

The choice depends on usage: tiles for wet areas, parquet for comfort and aesthetics, or vinyl for easy maintenance. Remember to verify compatibility with your underfloor heating system before any purchase to ensure the best performance and avoid future damage.
